Abstract
Abstract Separation of liquids from fine particle suspensions plays an important role in many industrial processes. In the past few years a number of technologies have been developed for the separation of slurries with coarse particle suspensions and intermediate particle sizes. However, separation of fine particles from their suspensions can be difficult and prohibitively costly. Battelle has developed a solid/liquid separation technology that utilizes differences in electro-kinetic and acoustic properties to enhance the efficiency of conventional solid/liquid separation techniques such as vacuum filters or presses. This method can dewater colloidal stable suspensions better than conventional techniques. Typical applications of this technology to food processing will be presented. Mechanisms involved during separation will also be discussed.
