Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring sedimentation of a solid-liquid two-phase mixture are provided. A standard work curve and/or standard mathematical model, indicating a relationship between thermal conductivity (k) and concentration (?) (and/or density (?)), are provided for measuring sedimentation of the solid-liquid two-phase mixture. To measure the sediment, thermal conductivities (k) are measured at settling times (t) to obtain a relationship (k?t). Concentrations (?) and/or densities (?) are then determined, based on the measured relationship (k?t) and the standard work curve and/or the standard mathematical model. A sedimentation rate is determined according to a variation rate of the thermal conductivity. A sedimentation status, sedimentation degree, and/or complete sedimentation degree are determined according to variation rate and variation degree of the thermal conductivity (k), the concentration (?) and/or the density (?) of the solid-liquid two-phase mixture to be measured.
