A dual-medium filter bed composed of sand and anthracite is to be used for the filtration of settled secondary effluent. If the effective size of the sand in the dual filter is to be 0.55 mm, what will be the effective size of the anthracite to avoid significant intermixing. Specific gravity of sand =2.65 and the specific gravity of anthracite =1.7.
