Overview

Solid Liquid Separation includes important industrial processes used for recovery and processing of solids or purification of liquids. Most of the process industries in which particulate slurries are handled use some form of solid-liquid separation and yet the subject is not adequately covered in most higher education courses.

This book is designed to bring the readers up-to-date on the principles and industrial practices of solid-liquid separation and washing technology. Particular attention is given to hardware and to its evaluation, application and selection. Whilst not exclusively concerned with filtration and sedimentation, these operations will be dealt with in depth.

Important variations in the available equipment will be discussed throughout the book with emphasis on basic engineering concepts, equipment selection and evaluation, solids washing, methods of pre-treatment, filter aids and other practical aspects of mechanical separation.

This book is intended for engineers and scientists of graduate status who are engaged in design, production for research and development.

Examines the theory and practice of filtration and separation, and serves as a guide to the available technology and its industrial applications, with particular emphasis on engineering concepts, use of equipment, and design considerations. The third edition (second, 1981; first 1977) has been substantially revised and updated, with new chapters on such new separation techniques as magnetic and membrane separation, and on the problems of fine particle recycling, counter- current washing, and continuous pressure filters. Of interest to process engineers engaged in production, design, or research in such industries as chemicals, petrochemicals, textiles, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food processing.
