TY - JOUR AU - Mondria, H. AB - SummaryThe introduction of relative quantities into continuous filtration equations eliminates constants relating to the nature of the slurry, so that the resulting equations may give a general picture of the influence of different variables.The influence of the rotational speed of a rotary drum filter on its filtration rate is represented by a hyperbola, the shape of which is determined only by the ratio of cake to filter cloth resistance at a definite reference rotational speed.The extent to which the filter cake is washed as a function of the rotation speed is clearly demonstrated by means of a simple equation. Finally, a method is given to deduce the variation of filter cloth resistance with time from measurements of filtration rates. Other desired relations can be easily derived with the aid of the examples given.
