Pozzolanic S/S has many varied applications in the field. It has been found to be a fast, simple, and low-cost measure for the treatment of a variety of wastes. It has been used for treating solids, liquids, sediments, and sludges from several industries, particularly those that produce heavy-metal-contaminated waste streams, and especially at sites where the soil contains lead.

The top of the sediment cover in the plains is nearly liquid because of its high water content. On the slopes of the hills this nearly liquid sediment top is missing it cannot be formed because it would flow downward due to its consistence.

These methods fall into two general classifications those using a liquid sedimentation technique, and those employing an air elutriation system. 

In liquid sedimentation methods, a sample of catalyst powder is dispersed in a liquid and the changes in concentration of solid (i.e., changes in density) at a selected height in the column of liquid are determined as a function of time for example, by means of a plummet suspended from one arm of an analytical balance or by the use of a hydrometer (176). The coarse particles settle more rapidly, and it is possible to calculate the size distribution from the observed data, taking into account the density of the liquid and the density of the particles with the pores full of liquid. 

The solution of the integral for measuring the concentration at constant position over time is only approximately possible. A common way uses Kamack s equation [Kamack, Br. J. Appll. Phys., 5, 1962-1968 (1972)] as recommend by ISO 13318 Part 1 Determination of Particle Size by Centrifugal Liquid Sedimentation Methods).

Sedimentation methods are also useful in determining particle size distribution. Webb (28) describes the techniques employed in liquid sedimentation and gives data comparing the results with those obtained in mechanical screening. Sedimentation methods are particularly useful in measuring sub-sieve sizes. Air-elutriation methods (Roller, 29) are also useful, especially when used in connection with microscopic examination (Wiley, Deloney, and Denton, 30 Matheson, 31).

When a colloidal particle has a density different from that of the surrounding liquid, sedimentation (or buoyancy) will take place. The presence of the double layer gives rise additionally to the generation of an electric field that, summed over all the particles (if their average separation is larger than their size), generates the sedimentation (or flotation) potential. This is the Dom effect, a simplified theory of which will be described below [40-42].
