It is important to separate and collect particles from solid-liquid mixture in order to reduce in environmental load and treatment cost of waste fluid. In this study, we try to separate and collect particles from the mixture by ultrasonic waves with relatively low frequency. In the present report, we use slurry of alumina abrasive as removal particles that use for polish and water jet cutting, etc. The particles are fully stirred in test water and then ultrasonic waves are irradiated with some frequencies. The particles behavior observed by a high-speed video camera is analyzed by a time series image analysis and correlated with sound pressure distribution. Particles flocculate to some layers like white bands that correspond to node of sound pressure after irradiation of ultrasonic wave. It is found that particles begin to move just after ultrasonic wave irradiation and flocculate clearly with the increase in sound pressure.

The mechanical behavior of a mixture composed by an elastic solid and a fluid that exchange mass is investigated. Both the liquid flow and the solid deformation depend on how the solid phase has increased (diminished) its mass, i.e. on the mass conversion between constituents. The model is developed introducing a decomposition of the solid phase deformation gradient. In particular, exploiting the criterion of maximization of the rate of entropy production, we determine an explicit evolution equation for the so-called growth tensor which involves directly the solid stress tensor. An example of a possible choice of the constitutive functions is also presented.

Often, the loss mechanisms responsible for seismic attenuation are unclear and controversial. We used partially frozen brine as a solid-liquid coexistence system to investigate attenuation phenomena. Ultrasonic wave-transmission measurements on an ice-brine coexisting system were conducted to examine the influence of unfrozen brine in the pore microstructure on ultrasonic waves. We observed the variations of a 150–1000 kHz wave transmitted through a liquid system to a solid-liquid coexistence system, changing its temperature from [Formula: see text] to –[Formula: see text]. We quantitatively estimated attenuation in a frequency range of [Formula: see text] by considering different distances between the source and receiver transducers. We also estimated the total amount of frozen brine at each temperature by using the pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique and related those results to attenuation results. The waveform analyses indicate that ultrasonic attenuation in an ice-brine coexisting system reaches its peak at [Formula: see text], at which the ratio of the liquid phase to the total volume in an ice-brine coexisting system is maximal. Finally, we obtained a highly positive correlation between the attenuation of ultrasonic waves and the total amount of unfrozen brine. Thus, laboratory experiments demonstrate that ultrasonic waves within this frequency range are affected significantly by the existence of unfrozen brine in the pore microstructure.
