— The iron ore mineral slurry was sourced from a mine in Pilbara region of Western Australia. The particle size distribution of this slurry measured by a Mastersizer Microplus is as follow: D 10 = 0.28 μm, D 50 = 4.01 μm, D 90 = 76.39 μm, volume means size D[4,3] = 23.82 μm and surface area mean size D[3,2] = 0.82 μm.
