A slurry is a thin sloppy mud or cement or, in
extended use, any fluid mixture of a pulverized solid with a liquid (usually
water), often used as a convenient way of handling solids in bulk. Slurries
behave in some ways like thick fluids, flowing under gravity but are also capable of being pumped if not too
thick.
Examples
Examples of slurries include:- Cement slurry, a mixture of cement, water, and assorted dry and liquid additives used in the petroleum and other industries
- Soil/cement slurry, also called Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM), flowable fill, controlled density fill, flowable mortar, plastic soil-cement, K-Krete, and other names
- A mixture of thickening agent, oxidizers, and water used to form a gel explosive
- A mixture of pyroclastic material, rocky debris, and water produced in a volcanic eruption and known as a lahar
- A mixture of bentonite and water used to make slurry walls
- Coal slurry, a mixture of coal waste and water, or crushed coal and water
- A mixture of wood pulp and water used to make paper
- A mixture of animal waste, organic matter, and sometimes water known simply as "slurry" in agricultural use, used as fertilizer after ageing in a slurry pit
- Meat slurry, a mixture of finely ground meat and water, centrifugally dewatered and used as food
- An abrasive substance used in chemical-mechanical polishing
- Slurry ice, a mixture of ice crystals, freezing point depressant, and water
- A mixture of raw materials and water involved in the rawmill manufacture of Portland cement
- A mixture of minerals, water, and additives used in the manufacture of ceramics
- A bolus of chewed food mixed with saliva
