Batch filtration of solid—liquid suspensions

  • Chapter

  • 869 Accesses

Abstract

Batch filtration involves the separation of suspended solids from a slurry containing a quantity of associated liquid. The concentration of the solids in the system may vary from batch to batch, as may the size distribution of the particles. Both particle size and concentration have important effects on the process time required for the separation. The slurry is directed towards the filter by means of a pumping, by gas pressure (blown transfer), gravitational head created by differences in level between the feed vessel and the filter, or by centrifugal force in rotating units. Solids are retained by a filter ‘medium’ (screen, woven cloth, paper, etc.) which simultaneously allows passage of the filtrate. Flow of the filtrate is created by the pressure differential generated over the system.
