Drinking water treatment generates a high amount of pasty by-product known as drinking
water treatment sludge (DWTS). The chemical composition, microstructure and rheological …

Nano-water-based drilling fluids (NWBDFs) are prepared using nano-copper oxide (CuO)
and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as modification materials. The effects of the …

With the increasing development demand of the modern energy industry, heightened focus
has been directed toward the exploitation of deep-sea polymetallic mineral resources. The …

Clay-algae flocculation is a promising method to remove harmful algal blooms (HABs) in
aquatic ecosystems. Many HAB-generating species, such as Microcystis aeruginosa (M …

Understanding the rheological behavior of deep-water sedimental slurries is important for
assessing the interaction between the deep-water sediment and pipelines. A series of …

The flow of kaolinite mixed with water at mass fractions≤ 28. 5% past a cylinder near a
moving wall is numerically investigated. The fluid is a non-Newtonian yield stress one and …

The laboratory miniature vane shear test (MVST) has been widely used to measure the
undrained shear strength of marine sediments in offshore engineering. However, the …

During the harvesting of polymetallic nodules on the seabed, the sediment plume due to
disturbance on the seabed impacts the benthic ecosystem. A numerical simulation based on …

The coastal in-situ cap** method can sequester contaminated sediment and suppress
sediment resuspension. Few studies have investigated the suppression of sediment …

The colloidal suspension of magnesium lithium phyllosilicate (MLPS), a synthetic clay that
shows complex rheological behaviors, is a promising analogue for natural soft clay. The …
