Abstract

Factors affecting capillary suction time (CST) were studied theoretically and experimentally. The factors were elucidated from a linearly measured capillary suction time (LCST), which was obtained with a simpler device than conventional radial equipment. The LCST should be correlated with the specific resistance to filtration of sludge under the condition that a quantity, i.e. the product of specific resistance and cake mass deposited per unit filtrate volume, is greater than some critical value. If this quantity is greater than the critical value, the LCST is not always correlated with the filterability, but the LCST can always be correlated well with the solid concentration of suspension.
