A plate & frame filter press is to be designed for the filtration of a slurry consisting of 250 kilograms of magnesite in 10 cubic meter of water. Filtration is conducted under a constant pressure of 200 kPa. The specific cake resistance (a) is 3 x1010 Neglecting the resistance due to filter medium and assume all water will be collected as filtrate. The time of filtration is taken as 1.5 hours and the wet cake density is 1400 kg solid per cubic meter. If the filter dimension measures 30.50 cm x 30.50 cm and the area of filtration per plate is twice that of the filter dimension, the total number of plates/frames is Blank 1 ?

Transcribed Image Text:A plate & frame filter press is to be designed for the filtration of a slurry consisting of 250 kilograms of magnesite in 10 cubic meter
of water. Filtration is conducted under a constant pressure of 200 kPa. The specific cake resistance (a) is 3 x1010
Neglecting
the resistance due to filter medium and assume all water will be collected as filtrate. The time of fitration is taken as 1.5 hours and
the wet cake density is 1400 kg solid per cubic meter.
If the filter dimension measures 30.50 cm x 30.50 cm and the area of filtration per plate is twice that of the filter dimension, the
total number of plates/frames is Blank 1 P
