It is a jelly type explosive that can be pumped into holes in rock for blasting. It is an emulsion (where two things that don't usually mix are mixed- like oil and water) It consists of an oxidizer and a fuel, mixed into a water base. It is a safe and economical explosive for mining and mass excavations in construction. May also be called a "water gel".

How is uranium contained in the nuclear power plant?

In most reactor designs all the uranium is contained within the core, which is heavily shielded. There are a few designs that have been experimented with, like the homogenous slurry reactor where the uranium and coolant circulate as a slurry through the primary coolant loop. But all the moderator is inside the core, so the reaction stops when the slurry leaves the core. None of these designs ever left experimental stage.


Where is a common place where the agricultural waste is in the form of a liquid slurry?

A common place where agricultural waste is in the form of liquid slurry is in livestock farming operations, particularly in large-scale hog, dairy, and poultry farms. Here, manure is often mixed with water to create a slurry that can be more easily handled and applied as fertilizer. This liquid waste is typically stored in lagoons or tanks before being spread on fields to enrich soil nutrients.


What cement slurry mix to use in sprayer?

For a cement slurry mix to use in a sprayer, a common ratio is a blend of 1 part cement to 2-3 parts water, along with additives to improve flow and adhesion, such as polymer or liquid latex. The consistency should be similar to that of a thick paint to ensure proper application through the sprayer. It's essential to mix thoroughly to prevent clumps and ensure even distribution. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific sprayer compatibility and adjust the mix based on the intended application.

Is explosive force of gunpowder have a faster speed then emulsion-gel?

Gunpowder typically ignites and burns faster than emulsion-gel explosive, which results in a quicker release of energy and a faster explosive force. Emulsion-gel explosives are engineered to be more stable, controlled, and efficient, so they may be more predictable and suitable for certain applications despite having a slower speed of reaction.


What is slurry pump?

A slurry pump is a type of centrifugal pump, used for pumping liquid with solids. The main pump parts are, impeller, liner, casing, base and bearing assembly. For now there are horizontal slurry pump, vertical slurry pump and submersible slurry pump, every type has its condition in the industry, but all used for slurry pumping.

What is emulsion activity index?

Emulsion activity index measures the ability of a substance to stabilize an emulsion, indicating its effectiveness in preventing the separation of oil and water. Typically calculated by comparing the height of the cream layer in an emulsion to the total volume of the emulsion, a higher emulsion activity index indicates better emulsion stability.
