Study on the slurrying and rheological properties of coal-oilfield wastewater-slurry

摘要

In this study, oilfield wastewater (OWW) was used to prepare coal-oilfield wastewater-slurry (COWS), and the apparent viscosity, solid concentration, and rheological curve were studied. Compared with original coal-water-slurry (CWS), the maximum solid concentration of COWS increased, and the viscosity decreased; therefore, the slurrying ability of the coal slurry was improved with the use of OWW. However, although the oil in OWW promoted the slurrying ability of the coal slurry, its effectiveness was insufficient, and a chemical additive was still needed to obtain a coal slurry with enhanced slurrying ability. Both COWS and CWS exhibited shear-thinning behavior, and the rheological index value of COWS was lower, which indicated that pseudoplasticity of COWS was more obvious, and OWW improved the rheological properties of coal slurry.
