5150502 Mechanical Operation Chemical Engineering Department VGEC Experiment No. 07 Date: VACUUM FILTRATION Objective: To find out filter medium resistance for vacuum filter. Apparatus: ‘Vacuum pump, beaker, filter paper, conical flask Chemicals: Ca CO3, Water. Buchner funnel ‘iter paper = te vacuum vacuum fask source’ Theory: ‘Vacuum filtration is a technique for separating a solid product from a liquid. The mixture of solid and liquid is poured through a filter paper in a Buchner funnel, The solid is trapped by the filter and the liquid is drawn through the funnel into the flask below, by a vacuum ‘Vacuum filtration is used primarily to collect a desired solid, for instance, the collection of crystals in a recrystallization procedure. Vacuum filtration uses a Buchner funnel and a side-arm-flask. ‘Vacuum filtration is faster than gravity filtration, because the solvent or solution and air is forced through the filter paper by the application of reduced pressure. The vacuum filtration is a driving force that generates a negative pressure at the filtrate outlet as a filter. This filter is divided into two types: intermittent operation and continuous operation. The intermittently operated vacuum filtration filters various concentrations of the suspension, and the continuously operated vacuum filtration is suitable for filtering thick suspensions containing more solid particles.5150502 Mechanical Operation Chemical Engineering Department VGEC > Advantages: ‘+ The units can be designed as effective continuous filters. ‘* These units are low labor users. * The filtering surface can be open to the atmospheric & hence, it iseasily accessible for inspection & repair. © Low maintenance cost. > Disadvantages: ‘© We have to maintain a vacuum system, # These cannot be used with filtrates that will volatile, whether because ofa low normal boiling pressure or high operating temperature. ‘© These units cannot handle difficulty filterable compressible solids. * Continuous vacuum filters are inflexible.

Start vacuum pump by attaching it with conical flask. Measure the vacuum after 30 sec. Measure weight of wet cake and dry cake. vvvv Observation: 1. Concentration of slurry=0.3 kg/ml 2. Filtration area=0.0136 3. Pressure drop =440 mmHg 4, Weight of wet cake=594 gm 5.
