Slurry centrifuge Filter—presses

Tyj)e of dryer Applicable with dry-product recirculation True and colloidal solutions emulsions. Examples inorganic salt solutions, extracts, milk, blood, waste liquors, rubber latex, etc. Pumpable suspensions. Examples pigment slurries, soap and detergents, calcium carbonate, bentonite, clay sbp, lead concentrates, etc. does not dust. Recirculation of product may prevent sticking Examples filter-press cakes, sedimentation sludges, centrifuged sobds, starch, etc. 

When an aqueous slurry is filtered in a plate and frame press, fitted with two 50 mm thick frames each 150 mm square, operating with a pressure difference of 350 kN/m2, the frames are filled in 3600 s (1 h). How long will it take to produce the same volume of filtrate as is obtained from a single cycle when using a centrifuge with a perforated basket, 300 mm diameter and 200 mm deep The radius of the inner surface of the slurry is maintained constant at 75 mm and the speed of rotation is 65 Hz (3900 rpm).

The frames of a plate and frame press (two 50-mm-thick frames, 150-mm squares) fill with a liquid slurry (1000 kg/m density) in 3.5 ksec at a pressure of 450 kN/m. If the slurry is then filtered in a perforated basket centrifuge (300-mm diameter, 200 mm deep) with an inner slurry surface of 75 mm, how long will it take (speed of 3900 rpm) to produce the same amount of filtrate from a cycle from the filter press Cloth resistance is equal to 3 mm of incompressible cake. 

Most of the chemical waste treatment methods use some form of precipitation technology to remove the heavy metals, which are the primary problem species. After precipitation, the slurry is allowed to settle, and the thickened solids are dewatered by using mechanical devices such as filter presses or centrifuges. Bell has reviewed treatment methods for treating many types of wastes. Spent mineral...
