Influence of Filtration Velocity on Cake Formation in Fibrous Filters

Article Preview

Abstract:

The filtration operation is one of the most widely used procedures in gas-solid separation due to its high removal efficiency, low cost and low sensitivity to variations in operating conditions. Therefore, the objective of this work is to study the effects of operating variables (pressure drop, filtration velocities and cleaning velocity) on the formation of filter cakes using gas-solid polypropylene filter media and particulate matter as for instance phosphate rock. The filtration velocities evaluated were 5, 7.5 and 10 cm/s with maximum pressure drops of 100, 200, 300 and 400mm H2O and filter cleaning velocities of 15 cm/s by the reverse air flow method. The cake filtration porosity was estimated using the classical Ergun equation (1952) in the literature. The results led to important correlations for the use of fibrous filters in the removal of particles suspended in in micrometer aerosols.
