Filtration

The original slurry contained 75% water by weight and weighed 1500 kg total. After filtration removed 80% of the water, 600 kg of filter cake remained. The original slurry contained a saturated solution of 600 kg of salt in 1200 kg of water. The salt dissolved to 0.25 kg per kg of water, leaving 300 kg of undissolved salt. After filtration, 0.4 kg of solution adhered to each kg of undissolved salt. The weight of the filtrate was calculated to be 1380 kg.

Filtration

Slurry of talc and water contains 75% water by weight. If 80% of the of the original water is removed
and 600 kg of filter cake is obtained. Calculate the original weight of the slurry.

OMB: F = W + Fc
OMB: F = W + 600
Water balance:
Solution: W = 0.80 (0.75)F
0.8 Water W = 0.60 F
F = 0.60F + 600
Feed
0.75 water F= 1500
Fc= 600 W= 900
water is removed

= W + 600
Filtration

Saturated solution of a salt is made by agitating 600 kg of salt in 1200 kg of water. The salt is soluble to the extent of
On filtration, 0.40 kg of solution adheres to every kilogram of undissolved salt. Calculate the weight of the filtrate.

Solution:

Wt. of dissolved salt = 1200 kg water x (0.25 kg salt/1 kg water) = 300


Wt. of saturated solution = 1200 kg water x (1.25 kg solution/1 kg water) = 1500
Wt. of undissolved salt = 300
Wt. of adhering sol’n = 120
Filter cake = Adhering solution + undissolved solution
Fc= 420

FL = saturated solution – adhering solution


FL= 1380 (kg of Filtrate)
e salt is soluble to the extent of 0.25 kg per kg of water.
ate the weight of the filtrate.
