Question

asked to solve: 

a.) The same slurry is filtered using a larger filter press with an area of 15 m2 at a constant pressure of 1000 kPa, with all other conditions held similar. How many hours will it take to obtain 5 m3 of filtrate?

b.) After filtration, the cake is washed with water whose volume is 5% of the filtrate volume. If it takes 1.5 hours to dismantle, clean, and re-assemble the filter, calculate the time of washing and the capacity of the filter.

 

 

Problem 3 (Filtration) An experimental plate-and-frame filter press having an area of 0.10 m² is used to filter an aqueous CaCO3 slurry at a constant pressure of 400 kPa. The filtration equation obtained was: where 0 is in s and V in m³. Constant-Pressure Filtration 0 V = 4.3x107V + 1.7x10¹
