There are many kinds of slurries, including
- A mixture of cement and water to form concrete[1]
- A mixture of thickening agent, oxidizers, and water used to form a gel explosive
- A mixture of pyroclastic rock and water known as a lahar[2]
- A mixture of bentonite and water used to make slurry walls[3]
- A mixture of coal waste and water known as coal slurry[4]
- A mixture of wood pulp and water used to make paper[5]
- A mixture of animal waste and water used as fertilizer[6]
- A mixture of finely ground meat and water, centrifugally dewatered into meat slurry, a food product
- An abrasive substance used in chemical-mechanical polishing
- A mixture of ice crystals, freezing point depressant, and water called slurry ice[7]
- A mixture of raw materials and water involved in the rawmill manufacture of Portland cement
- A mixture of minerals, water, and additives used in the manufacture of ceramics[8]
