File:Potato starch slurry.jpg|thumb|Potato starchPotato starchA slurry is a mixture of denser solids suspended in liquid, usually water. The most common use of slurry is as a means of transporting solids or separating minerals, the liquid being a carrier that is pumped on a device such as a centrifugal pump. The size of solid particles may vary from 1 micrometre up to hundreds of millimetres.The particles may settle below a certain transport velocity and the mixture can behave like a Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid. Depending on the mixture, the slurry may be abrasive and/or corrosive.- High angle.jpg -

Calculations
Determining solids fraction
To determine the percent solids (or solids fraction) of a slurry from the density of the slurry, solids and liquidWills, B.A. and Napier-Munn, T.J, Wills' Mineral Processing Technology: an introduction to the practical aspects of ore treatment and mineral recovery, {{ISBN|978-0-7506-4450-1}}, Seventh Edition (2006), Elsevier, Great Britain
phi_{sl}=frac{rho_{s}(rho_{sl} - rho_{l})}{rho_{sl}(rho_{s} - rho_{l})}
where
phi_{sl} is the solids fraction of the slurry (state by mass)
rho_{s} is the solids density
rho_{sl} is the slurry density
rho_{l} is the liquid density
In aqueous slurries, as is common in mineral processing, the specific gravity of the species is typically used, and since specific gravity of water is taken to be 1, this relation is typically written:
phi_{sl}=frac{rho_{s}(rho_{sl} - 1)}{rho_{sl}(rho_{s} - 1)}
even though specific gravity with units tonnes/m3 (t/m3) is used instead of the SI density unit, kg/m3.Liquid mass from mass fraction of solids
To determine the mass of liquid in a sample given the mass of solids and the mass fraction:By definition
phi_{sl}=frac{M_{s}}{M_{sl}}
therefore
M_{sl}=frac{M_{s}}{phi_{sl}}
and
M_{s}+M_{l}=frac{M_{s}}{phi_{sl}}
then
M_{l}=frac{M_{s}}{phi_{sl}}-M_{s}
and therefore
M_{l}=frac{1-phi_{sl}}{phi_{sl}}M_{s}
where
phi_{sl} is the solids fraction of the slurry
M_{s} is the mass or mass flow of solids in the sample or stream
M_{sl} is the mass or mass flow of slurry in the sample or stream
M_{l} is the mass or mass flow of liquid in the sample or stream
Volumetric fraction from mass fraction
phi_{sl,m}=frac{M_{s}}{M_{sl}}
Equivalently
phi_{sl,v}=frac{V_{s}}{V_{sl}}
and in a minerals processing context where the specific gravity of the liquid (water) is taken to be one:
phi_{sl,v}=frac{frac{M_{s}}{SG_{s}}}{frac{M_{s}}{SG_{s}}+frac{M_{l}}{1}}
So
phi_{sl,v}=frac{M_{s}}{M_{s}+M_{l}SG_{s}}
and
phi_{sl,v}=frac{1}{1+frac{M_{l}SG_{s}}{M_{s}}}
Then combining with the first equation:
phi_{sl,v}=frac{1}{1+frac{M_{l}SG_{s}}{phi_{sl,m}M_{s}}frac{M_{s}}{M_{s}+M_{l}}}
So
phi_{sl,v}=frac{1}{1+frac{SG_{s}}{phi_{sl,m}}frac{M_{l}}{M_{s}+M_{l}}}
Then since
phi_{sl,m}=frac{M_{s}}{M_{s}+M_{l}}=1-frac{M_{l}}{M_{s}+M_{l}}
we conclude that
phi_{sl,v}=frac{1}{1+SG_{s}(frac{1}{phi_{sl,m}}-1)}
where
phi_{sl,v} is the solids fraction of the slurry on a volumetric basis
phi_{sl,m} is the solids fraction of the slurry on a mass basis
M_{s} is the mass or mass flow of solids in the sample or stream
M_{sl} is the mass or mass flow of slurry in the sample or stream
M_{l} is the mass or mass flow of liquid in the sample or stream
SG_{s} is the bulk specific gravity of the solids
