The variation in concentration of settled beds of flocculated aqueous suspensions of thoria was studied experimentally as a function of the calcination temperature and particle size of the thoria, the temperature and initial concentration of the suspension, and the concentration of added chromic acid. Values of the ultimate settled-bed concentration were obtained by several methods. Dilatant-plastic behavior of one suspension was considered responsible for the formation, in long vertical tubes, of intractable plugs. (auth
