[Catastrophe]

OK I have finally cracked the deceipt (not intentional I am sure - just through ignorance).

I have concentrated on particle size. Slurry statistics etcetera.

The key word is disaggregation.

Get yourself some scientific advice.

Aggregation is what entropy is all about. It is possible to reverse aggregation both in dispersions (solid in liquid) and emulsions (e.g., oil in water) BUT it requires energy input.

This disaggregation is not spontaneous. It requires energy input.

I have been pursuing the scientific line that slurries require minute particle size. D has been suggesting (without foundation I believe you will discover) that disaggregation can occur spontaneously. It cannot. A small demonstration - a small squeeze of the bag -  cannot be replicated on a 5-6 million ton pyramid easily.

PLEASE get a scientist to check this.

Your belief system and credibility are at stake.

I am offering this as honest scientific comment.

Best wishes
