In this article from Algeria, A. Benretem with co-authors M. Benidir and R. Chaib discuss their study of the rheological behaviour of water-phosphate slurries containing various concentrations of solid particles. The influence of particle size, particle size distribution and concentration on the mixture's transport velocity and viscosity are examined.
