Abstract

Abstract An experimental study was done to determine the effect of water on flow resistance of crude pinanol during filtration. At constant pressure drops, pinanol-water dispersions had lower flow rates than pinanol in metal filters. For the pinanol-water dispersions, higher flow rates occurred at both high and low water volume fractions, indicating a critical volume fraction at which resistance to flow is maximum. The result also implies that water is entrapped at low water volume fractions while pinanol entrapment occurs at low pinanol volume fractions. In a constant rate pinanol-water displacement in a sandpack, the ratio of mobility of pinanol to the effective mobility of pinanol in the presence of residual water was approximately 1.5.
