Abstract
In order to discuss the rheological properties of suspension using with parameters described numerically, many parameters were proposed from image analysis of suspension. Suspensions were prepared with mono-dispersed silica powder, whose suspension had solid contents of 42 to 56 volume% under the pH of 2 to 10. The suspensions were freeze-dried and solidified with resin. The polished cross sections were observed and analyzed with a program of image analysis (Media Cybernetics Co.Ltd). Parameters of distribution and average flocculated number, distribution and average volume of effective flocculated particles, the volume of entrapped water in flocculated particles, etc, were discussed.
