A slurry flowing at a rate of 8000 m3 /d is fed to a rectangular sedimentation tank to separate the sand particles (SG=2.65) from water (ρ=1000 kg/m3 , µ=1 cP). The critical settling velocity was chosen to be that of a particle with a diameter of 0.02 mm. Calculate the minimum detention time required (in h) and the dimensions of the tank (in m). Assume that the depth is 3.5 m and the L:W is 3:1.

A batch test on the sedimentation of slurry containing 200kg / m (C.) is carried out experimentally where the initial height of sediment zone is 900mm (h.). The following data are assumed as follows: Underflow concentration- 1200kg / m Feed flow rate-3m / min The relation between setting velocity (u) and height of sediment zone (h.) Can be represented by the following equation: u (mm / min) -0.0178 * h - 3.22 Where the h have taken the values: 700,300,260,200 and 180 mm. Graphically, find the critical rate of sedimentation then the cross section area of tank.
