Overview of Filtration in Solid-Liquid Separation

A comprehensive and up-to-date account of filtration in solid-liquid separation processes, with a sharp focus on the influence of process variables on performance and specific applications is presented in this volume.

Contributions and Content

With contributions from researchers with significant industrial experience, as well as by senior academics, this publication features a deep bed filtration overview with information on mathematical modeling and application in wastewater treatment.

Pre-treatment Filtration Techniques

Pre-treatment filtration techniques such as cartridge filters, pre-coat filters, and micro screening are included.

Membrane Filtration Processes

Membrane filtration processes to remove dissolved and suspended solids for the recovery of valuable materials and the provision of high-quality water are covered.

Sludge Dewatering Methods

Sludge de-watering methods such as centrifugation, and vacuum and pressure filtration are described.

Additional Information

Application status data, tables, figures, and diagrams are also included. This volume is of special interest to practicing engineers and technologists dealing with treatment problems requiring filtration solutions and to graduate students in environmental engineering.
