Engineering Aspects of Solid-Liquid Separation
by Josh Halberthal
A large series of well-illustrated tutorials
Vacuum Filtration
Pressure Filtration
Filterpress
Horizontal Plate Filter
Vertical Leaf Filter
Nutsche Filter
Candle Filter
The site reviews the following topics:
Filtration: vacuum and pressure
Centrifugation: filtering and sedimenting
Sedimentation by thickeners
Clarification
Polishing by precoat, pressure, deep-bed filters
Upward separation by dissolved-air flotation
It does not cover screening, hydrocycloning and froth flotation.

Web Sites of Educational Interest
Solid / Liquid Separation
by Richard Holdich (Loughboro Univ.)
Many utilities for modelling and simulation,
as well as an expert system equipment advisor.
Specific links to tutorial material include
an illustrated lecture on thickeners
details of sedimentation processes - the basic types are:
free settling and clarification
incompressible hindered settling
(as described mathematically by Kynch)
compressible sedimentation or consolidation.
-- his home page
www-staff.lboro.ac.uk/~cgrgh/index.html
-- interactive calculation of
settling velocity for a particle in a liquid
He also has a commercial Filtration and Separation site
with on-line interactive pages for
Solid-Liquid Separation Equipment Selection
Design Calculations ("simulation") of Filtration for
constant pressure
constant feed flow rate
continuous sedimentation-thickening

Sedimentation and Floatation
by H. R. Bungay (Rensellaer Univ.)
Explains the concepts with text, drawings,
an Applet, and several photos of an industrial installation. There are no equations.
