Role of the clogging phenomena in erroneous implications of conventional data analysis for constant pressure cake filtration

Constant pressure filtration of kaolin slurries is studied by directly measuring the pressure drop across the filter medium under conditions leading to various extents of medium clogging. Experimental data are analyzed in terms of the conventional filtration theory based on the two-resistances-in-series model. The filter medium resistance and the cake resistance values obtained by the conventional data interpretation techniques, which require only the measurement of total filtration pressure, are compared with those calculated from directly measured pressure drops across the filter medium and the cake. The results show that the conventional analysis yields unrealistic filter medium resistances if the medium clogging is significant and continues throughout the course of filtration. The medium resistance is a significant part of the total filtration resistance even at long filtration times. The average specific cake resistance obtained by the conventional methodology does not appear to be in error when compared to its value calculated from the directly measured cake resistance at long filtration times. An actually incompressible cake, however, appears to be compressible due to cake clogging which increases with increasing filtration pressure.

Extremely fouling resistant zwitterionic copolymer membranes with similar to 1 nm pore size for treating municipal, oily and textile wastewater streams
Bengani-Lutz, Prity; Zaf, Ruken Dilara; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Asatekin, Ayse (2017-12-01)
In this study, we document the performance of novel zwitterionic copolymer membranes with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of around 1 kDa in treating municipal and industrial wastewater streams. These membranes were prepared by forming selective layers of self-assembling zwitterionic amphiphilic random copolymers on porous supports by a simple coating method. In single-and mixed-solute fouling tests with common components of effluent organic matter in municipal wastewater feeds (polysaccharides, natural o...
Effects of Substrate Parameters on the Resonance Frequency of Double-sided SRR Structures under Two Different Excitations
Ekmekci, E.; Averitt, R. D.; Sayan, Gönül (2010-07-08)
In this study, we numerically investigate the effects of substrate parameters (i.e., the thickness and the permittivity) on the resonance frequency of the double-sided SRR (DSRR) structure under two different excitation conditions. This includes either electric or magnetic excitations which are two common techniques to obtain a resonant effective permittivity or permeability, respectively. The numerical calculations are performed using CST Microwave Studio. The numerical results reveal a similar trend in th...
Effect of soft fine particles on the kinetics and energetics of grinding hard coarse particles
Yılmaz, Selim; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Mining Engineering (2016)
The main objective of this study is to investigate breakage parameters of a narrow size fraction of coarse particles of a hard mineral when ground in a mixture with fine particles of a soft mineral. For this purpose, quartz and calcite were selected as mixture components varying appreciably in hardness (quartz mohs scale:7 and calcite mohs scale:3) but having quite similar densities. Mixture feeds comprised of -1.18+0.85 mm quartz (hard and coarse) and -106 µm calcite (soft and fine) at various proportions ...
Use of pro scale simulatiors to understand the effects of wettability on miscible carbon dioxide flooding and injectivity
Uzun, İlkay; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005)
This study concentrates on the modelling of three phase flow and miscible CO2 flooding in pore networks that captures the natural porous medium of a reservoir. That is to say, the network, that is a Matlab code, consists of different sided triangles which are located randomly through the grids. The throats that connect the pores are also created by the model. Hence, the lengths and the radii of the throats are varying. The network used in this research is assumed to be representative of mixed-wet carbonates...
Role of chromium in Cr–Fe oxide catalysts for high temperature water-gas shift reaction – A DFT study
Yalcin, Ozgen; Wachs, Israel E.; Önal, Işık (2021-05-13)
Carcinogenic hexavalent Cr in the current iron oxide-based catalysts of high temperature water-gas shift (HT-WGS) reaction is great environmental concern. Interpreting the role of the Cr in this important industrial catalyst system is required. In the present study, we investigated substitution of Cr atoms into the most stable termination of Fe3O4 (111) slab surface by spin-polarized periodic DFT approach to comprehend the role of Cr. We applied the projector augmented-wave (PAW) method within the Perdew-Wa...
