Abstract
AbstractA method for washing highly concentrated suspensions with fine particles by using a filter with overlapping disks was studied. For the experiments, alumina and titanium dioxide suspensions were used. It was demonstrated that the used suspensions have non‐Newtonian behavior. The viscosity is influenced by the type of particle system, the solid concentration, and the shear rate. The washing process is operated in a discontinuous and a continuous way. The rotation of the disks and the shear flow across their surface prevents the formation of a filter cake and facilitates the handling of suspensions. The shear stresses at the filter disk and the rheology of the processed suspensions are both influenced by the type of particle system, the solid concentration, and the process parameters.
