Abstract:Industrial solid-liquid filtration units are upscaled based on laboratory tests, often by a resistance meter. Wall or boundary effects are more pronounced during lab tests compared with full-scale units where these effects might be negligible. Thus, simply using area-specific rates from lab tests may lead to a significant upscaling error. Intentional alterations of wall lengths and filtration areas are performed to allow quantitative description of this effect. Smaller area and longer wall length result in fas… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
