Liquid filtration
Liquid filtration is a fundamental unit operation practiced extensively throughout the chemical process, petroleum, and allied industries. This book is a state-of-the-art review of this operation. The text reviews specific design and selection criteria, both theoretical and practical. There are many actual industrial problems given as a means of further elucidating the principles of filtration that are presented. All of the options and methods for equipment and component functions, as well as engineering design routes, are examined in detail, and optimum systems and functions are specified. Major Sections: Hydrodynamics of Flows Through Porous Media; Introduction to Filtration; Governing Laws of Cake Filtration; Governing Laws of Filter-Medium Filtration; Application of Filter Aids; Filter Media; Cake Washing; Cake Dewatering; Design Equations for Optimum Filtration; Summary of Graphical Analysis Techniques; Liquid Filtration Equipment; Ultrafiltration; Microporous Membrane Filtration; Industrial Applications of Reverse Osmosis Selection and Sizing of Prefilter/Final Filter Systems; Filtration Design Examples; Index.
