Abstract

Aluminum hydroxycarbonate gel suspensions have been filtered at constant pressure and the experimental data used to analyze and discuss the different procedures for obtaining design parameters such as specific resistance and compressibility of the cake, and resistivity of the filtration medium. It is shown that different algorithms yield different values for these parameters, and the possible pitfalls in the analysis of the data are discussed. The compressibility data of the cake of aluminum hydroxycarbonate have been adjusted to the nonlinear model α = α0(-ΔP)(s). The value of s obtained by different mathematical algorithms, 0.34, indicated that the cake is moderately compressible.
