This paper presents studies of the rheological characterization and determination of friction factors in three bauxite slurries originating in Miltonia Mine, Paragominas - Para, resulting from operating conditions with different degrees of grinding. Thus, the basic difference between them lies in the size distribution. The goal is to make a proposal to revise the specification of the product particle size (for the bauxite slurry pipeline), allowing a comparison with the slurries of the project (pilot plant) and the current operation (processing plant) and the response to changes, especially, viscosity and friction factors. The slurry proposal incorporates a higher percentage of fines (<10 microns) compared with other slurries. The benefits can earn recovery with the incorporation of this portion of fines, which currently is discarded to the tailings pond. The material was characterized by size analysis of the series Tyler, physical and physical-chemical, electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray spectrometry energy dispersive (EDS). Testes were conducted in coaxial cylinder viscometer, Searle type, in order to determine the rheological behavior of these slurries, depending on the size distribution and varying the concentration of solids. The rheological properties were measured viscosity, yield stress and also behaviors that show the dependence of viscosity with the time of application of a constant shear rate, verifying through the hysteresis curve, the presence or absence of thixotropy and reopexia. The experimental results showed that for the slurries tested, the particle size and solids concentration are important parameters in determining the viscosity. Tests with these three bauxite slurries of different sizes, were performed at predetermined concentrations, to determine the model whose rheological parameters showed the best correlation coefficients (R2), and the best fits were found using the Herschel-Bulkley model. The friction factors were obtained for formulations involving a logarithmic relationship, using the Law of the Wall as a method of obtaining these expressions apply to non-Newtonian viscoplastic fluid, and compared with those calculated by Dodge and Metzner correlation and found that in general there is agreement between the model studied in the three slurries. The factor analysis of friction in the concentration of 50% solids, which is the concentration of pumping by pipeline, shows that the behavior of the slurries studied is similar, with the best settings for the range from 10,000 to 100,000 Reynolds (average work range for the turbulent flow of the ore pulp, homogeneous and heterogeneous).

Influência da granulometria nas propriedades reológicas da polpa de bauxita pós beneficiamento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-11-13) REIS, Izabela de Nazaré Souza da Fonseca; FELIPE, Augusta Maria Paulain Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8871741271063047; SOUZA, José Antônio da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6157348947425968
The knowledge of factors that influence the rheology of bauxite pulp is necessary and important for the quality control of the flow through the pipeline process.This work evaluated the effect of different granulometric fractions (-100#+150#; -150#+200#; -200#+270#; -270#+325# and -400#) on rheology of bauxite pulp that is carried through Mineração Paragominas S/A (MPSA) pipelines. Distinct fractions of bauxite obtained by wet screening were analyzed by an X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) to determine the mineralogical composition of the samples. The results of those analysis revealed that each fraction has a similar composition (gibsite, kaolinite, hematite, goethit and anatase) though different proportion in the fractions. The studies of rheological parameters were developed by using Thermo Scientific HAAKE Viscotester 550 and the SV1 coaxial cylinder sensor at 30ºC. Bauxite pulps, with constant solids content and equal to 50 wt% were prepared in order to simulate the actual conditions of flow through the pipeline. Testing of apparent viscosity curves versus additive concentration were carried out using sodium polyacrylate at concentrations that ranged from 0 – 1 wt% in order to determine the optimal concentration of additive necessary to stabilize the bauxite pulp. From the results found of optimal concentration of sodium polyacrylate, the hysteresis tests were performed. It was found that the smaller the average particle diameter, the greater the amount of additive is necessary to stabilize the pulp and the addition of sodium polyacrylate in the finer fraction of bauxite caused the flocculation of system. In general, the rheological behavior of the bauxite pulps with their optimal concentrations of sodium polyacrylate was shown to be non-Newtonian and time dependent, with rheopetic behavior for fractions with granulometry between 127 and 48.5 micrometers and thixotropic behavior to fine fraction with average diameter smaller than 37 micrometers. The bauxite pulp formulated with the fine particle size and without addition of sodium polyacrylate showed rheopetic behavior. It was observed, for the dispersed bauxite pulps, that the decrease the average particle size influences the size of the hysteresis area formed, causing a decrease in rheopetic behavior.
