Abstract
Sedimentation occurs in almost all cake filtration. To study the role of sedimentation during filtration, filtration-permeations were carried out for suspensions of various concentrations. The average specific cake resistances calculated by the traditional method using the filtration data and initial concentration of suspension give different values according to the suspension concentrations. But the average specific cake resistances from the permeation period show almost the same values in spite of the various suspension concentrations. To exclude the influence of sedimentation, a complete sedimentation was performed before beginning filtration and then filtration-permeation of the sediment was performed. The average specific cake resistance from the filtration period calculated with the mass fraction of sediment and that from the permeation period coincide very well. These values also coincide well with the former average specific resistances during permeation within the experimental error limits. It can be concluded that the average specific cake resistances by permeation operation give almost the same values far various concentrations of suspension. A new definition of a cake and a new concept of the filter medium Rm are proposed based on the analysis of experimental results.
