For specimens with Talbol power exponents of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0, they have less lost mass and shorter stable permeate time, because of the higher proportions of particles in larger sizes, and their irregular arrangements, resulting in less lost mass and larger porosity; if the fine particles migrate from their structures, water flow channels are formed naturally, and as a result, they also have shorter stable permeate time.
