Abstract:
A. Two (2) liters of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% & 10% by weight CaCO3 suspension in water
were prepared. Each slurry was placed in sedimentation tubes at the same
height. The readings of the interface were taken at the convenient time interval.
The rise of sludge interface was also recorded at the base of the cylinder and
then allowed for a period of 24 hrs. to elapse for final compaction readings.
B. The procedure above was repeated except that the slurry was of the same concentration, 4%
but with different initial heights.
