Determine the surface area of a rotary-drum filter that processes 20 m 3 /hr of a calcium
Question:
Determine the surface area of a rotary-drum filter that processes 20 m3/hr of a calcium carbonate slurry at a pressure drop of 0.679 bar with 37.5% submergence, and a drum rotation rate of 0.2 rpm. Pertinent data are: T = 20°C, mass-fraction carbonate in the feed 0.15, mass fraction of water in the filter cake = 0.40, filtrate density 998.3 kg/m3, filtrate viscosity = 1 cP, and dry carbonate density 2,709 kg/m3. Assume the media resistance is negligible. Use Table 19.8 for cake compressibility.
