4. The data below were taken in a constant pressure drop filtration of slurry
of CaCO3 in H2O. The pressure drop for this operation is 15 lbf/in2. The
filter was a 6 inch filter press with an area of 1.0 ft 2. The mass fraction of
solids in the feed to the press was 0.169. Calculate the values of cake
resistance ( ), filter medium resistance (Rm) and cake thickness.

6. Data for the filtration of CaCO3 slurry in water at 298.2 K (25oC) are
reported as follows at a constant pressure of 46.2 kN/m2 (6.70 psia). The
area of the plate and frame press was 0.0439 m2 (0.473 ft2) and the
slurry concentration was 23.47 kg solid/m3 filtrate.
a) Calculate the constants and Rm.
b) The same slurry is to be filtered in a plate and frame press having
30 frames and 0.873 m2 are per frame. The same pressure, 46.2
kN/m2 will be used in a constant pressure filtration. Assume the
same filter cake properties and filter cloth used. Calculate the time
to recover 2.26 m3 of filtrate.
c) At the end, using through washing and 0.283 m3 of wash water,
calculate the time of washing and total filter cycle time if cleaning
the press takes 30 minutes.
