2003-55-mo The basic filtration equation is given as \[ \frac {dt}{dV} = \frac {\mu }{A\Delta P} \left (\frac {\alpha CV}{A} + R_m\right ) \] where \(V\) is volume of the filtrate, \(A\) is the filtration area, \(\alpha \) is specific cake resistance, \(\mu \) is
viscosity of the filtrate, and \(C\) is the concentration of solids in the feed slurry. In a 20 min. constant rate filtration, 5 m3 of filtrate was obtained.

A filtration is conducted at constant pressure to recover solids from dilute slurry. To reduce the time of filtration, the solids concentration in the feed slurry is increased by evaporating half the solvent. If the resistance of the filter medium is negligible, the filtration time will be reduced by a factor of
1989-13-i-mo A leaf filter filtering a slurry, gave a total of 8 m\(^3\) filtrate in 30 minutes. Filtration was continued till 11.3 m\(^3\) of filtrate was collected. Estimate the washing time in minutes, if 11.3 m\(^3\) of wash water are used. The resistance of the

A filtration is carried out for 10 min at a constant rate in a leaf filter and thereafter it is continued at constant pressure. This pressure is that attained at the end of the constant rate period. If one quarter of the total volume of the filtrate is
collected during the constant rate period, what is the total filtration time (in minutes)? Assume that the cake is incompressible and the filter medium resistance is negligible.
1992-14-b-mo A filter press contains 20 frames, each of 0.6 m by 0.6 m inside dimensions. The frames are 0.025 m thick. The press is equipped with 1 and 3 button plates for washing. The volume of wash water used is 10% of the filtrate per cycle. The time required
for filtering at constant pressure is 2 hours by which time the frames are full. Washing is done at the same pressure as filtering and the viscosity of wash water is nearly the same as that of the filtrate. What is the time (in hour) for washing?
There is 0.05 m\(^3\) of final cake per m\(^3\) of filtrate. Neglect the resistance of the filter medium.

2015-36-mo A typical batch filtration cycle consists of filtration followed by washing. One such filtration unit operating at constant pressure difference first filters a slurry during which 5 liters of filtrate is collected in 100 s. This is followed
by washing, which is done for \(t_W\) seconds and uses 1 liter of wash water. Assume the following relation to be applicable between the applied pressure drop \(\Delta P\), cake thickness \(L\) at time \(t\), and volume of liquid \(V\) collected
in time \(t\): \[ \frac{\Delta P}{L} = k_1\frac {dV}{dt}; \qquad L=k_2V, \text{if $L$ is changing.} \] \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) can be taken to be constant during filtration and washing. The wash time \(t_W\), in seconds (up to one decimal place), is ____________
