EFFECTIVE CEMENT-MIXING METHOD FOR MUD TRANSPORT USING A COMPRESSED-AIR MIXTURE PIPELINE

A highly efficient transportation system for dredged mud has been developed using the compressed-air mixture method. Recently, the demand for dredged materials to be used as reclamation materials has increased.In this study, a mud solidification method involving the mixing of mud and cement powder was investigated, and a sudden enlargement structure system was proposed for their effective mixture. The mixing mechanism of the mud and cement powder was investigated experimentally, and a designing method was proposed for effective mixing enlargement in a compressed-air mixture pipeline.
