title = "The effect of aspect ratio on the stability of coal-water slurries",
abstract = "One of the main objectives in coal-water slurries (CWS) technology is to keep the slurry stable without coal sedimentation after certain storage times. Therefore, some chemicals and stabilizers are used to control the CWS stability. Stabilizers create a network system among the coal particles and make them stable. The major control factors for the CWS stability are coal rank, coal size, stabilizer type and chemicals' concentrations. However, the effect of particle shape depending on coalification should be given attention. In this study, coal particle shape factor (aspect ratio) depending on coalification degree was investigated to make clear how this parameter affects CWS stability.",
