TASK 1: A suspension is divided in two different aliquots containing 24 mL of solvent phase. Each aliquot is filtered under constant pressure conditions using different filtration conditions: slurry A is filtered using a pressure drop of 200 mbar, while slurry B is filtered using a pressure drop of 700 mbar. The diameter of the Nutsche filter is 27 mm. The slurry comprises ethanol (solvent density 0.789 g/cm³ and dynamic viscosity 1.095 CP) and spherical particles. Volume of cake formed by the passage of unit volume of filtrate is equal to 3. Filtration flow rate and time/volume of filtrate versus volume of filtrate removed during filtration for the two slurries are reported in the tables below.
