The basic filtration equation is given as dt/dV = (µ/A ∆P). [(α .CV/A) +
Rm], where, V is volume of the filtrate; A is the filtration area, a is specific
cake resistance, μ is viscosity of the filtrate, and C is the concentration of the
solids in the feed slurry.
In a 20 minutes constant rate filtration, 5 m3 of filtrate was obtained. If this
is followed by a constant pressure filtration, how much more time in
minutes, it will take for another 5 m3 of filtrate to be produced? Neglect
filter medium resistance, Rm; assume incompressible cake.
