Petroleum coke-lignite slurry （PCLS）, a mixture of petro- leum coke, lignite, water, and additives, efficiently utilizes the two materials. In this study, we investigate the effects of the proportion （7） of petroleum coke on slurryability, rheo- logical behavior, stability, and increasing temperature characteristics of PCLSs. The results show that the fixed- viscosity solid concentration （COo） increases with increasing 7. The ~Oo of lignite-water slurry （LWS, ~ = 0） is 46.7 %, compared to 71.3 % for the petroleum coke-water slurry （PCWS, c~ --- i00 %）, while that of PCLS is in between the two values. The rheological behavior of PCLS perfectly fits the power-law model. The PCWS acts as a dilatant fluid. As decreases, the slurry behaves first as an approximate Newtonian fluid, and then turns into a pseudo-plastic fluid that exhibits shear-thinning behavior. With increasing ct, the rigid sedimentation and water separation ratio （WSR） increase, indicating a decrease in the stability of PCLS. When α is 60-70 %, the result is a high-quality slurry fuel for industrial applications, which has high slurryability （ω0 = 57-60 %）, good stability （WSR 〈 2 %）, and superior pseudo-plastic behavior （n = 0.9）.展开更多
