Question

Clay slurry is to be processed to dry clay containing only 2% moisture. The slurry, containing 45 kg clay per 1000 kg slurry is allowed to settle in a thickener where part of the water (free of solids) is allowed to overflow. 3.5 kg of concentrated sludge per 15 kg of slurry leave the thickener and go through a filter where 99% of the solids in the sludge is collected in the form of a wet filter cake. The wet filter cake weighs 1.5 kg per kg of dry solids in the cake. The wet cake is finally sent to a drier where most of the remaining water is made to evaporate. On a basis of 2000 kg of concentrated sludge. Make a complete material balance for the system.
