Hydraulic transport of limestone aggregates and colliery spoil

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5365491

Alternatives to road transport are needed for aggregates and waste materials, and hydraulic transport is one possibility. Little was known about hydraulic transport of large particles so it was necessary to carry out tests on a large scale pipeline rig. Tests were done in 102, 157 and 207 mm pipes on the English Clays Lovering Pochin test rig at St Austell with 5-10, 14-20, 20-40, -5, -10, -20 and -40 mm limestones and a -50 mm colliery spoil. The effect of adding china clay and limestone filler to a narrow size range limestone was studied.
