Iron ore slurry. The iron and steel industries have grown dramatically during couple of decades. To meet the future demand, the effect of bio-additives on rheological behaviour of the Indian iron ore slurry was evaluated by Senapati et al. 2018 [14]. The studied slurry displayed non-Newtonian flow behaviour and fitted well with the Bingham ...

Among its many achievements in slurry pipeline system design is the Anglo Ferrous Minas-Rio project in Brazil, which is now under construction. The project includes a 522 km, 610 and 660 mm diameter iron ore pipeline, which when complete will be the longest and largest (tonnage) iron concentrate pipeline in the world.
