A review covers macroscopic descriptions of deep bed filters and their analytical solutions; parameter estimation methods; single-media vs. multimedia filters; particle deposition; trajectory calculation of particle deposition rate; some published trajectory calculation results; the contribution of Brownian diffusion to deposition; straining; the effect of surface interaction on deposition; theoretical studies on non-Brownian particles; Brownian diffusion of submicron particles; the effect of particle deposition on filter performance; deposit morphology; quantitative relationships between the extent of deposition and filter bed characteristics; filter design and optimization; pretreatment; the role of flocculants in depth filtration; optimal dosage determination; alum vs. polyelectrolytes; and highlights of Grutsch and Mallatt's study Vertical Bar3Vertical BarChem. Eng. Prog. 7.
