6b CO3 K2 13
thickener.
A plate and frame filter press filtering slurry gave a total of 230
lit of filtrate in 30 min and 400 lit in 60 min and the filtration
7a CO4 K5 was stopped. Estimate the washing time in minutes if 100 lit of 13
wash water are to be used. Neglect the filter medium resistance
and a constant pressure operation is assumed.
(OR)
A leaf filter filtering slurry gave a total of 8 m 3 filtrate in 30
minutes. Filtration was continued till 11.3 m 3 of filtrate was
7b CO4 K5 collected. Estimate the washing time in minutes, if 11.3 m 3 of 13
wash water are used. The resistance of the cloth can be
neglected and a constant pressure is used throughout.
