Questions and Answers

What are oversize particles in filtration?

Oversize particles are solid particles that cannot pass through the filter medium and are described as oversize.

What is filtration?

Filtration is a physical separation process that separates solid matter and fluid from a mixture using a filter medium.

What is blinding in filtration?

Blinding occurs when oversize particles form a filter cake on top of the filter and block the filter lattice, preventing the fluid phase from crossing the filter.

Study Notes

Filtration Basics

  • Filtration is a process of separating solids from a fluid stream using a filter medium with a specific pore size.

Oversize Particles

  • Oversize particles in filtration are particles that are larger than the pore size of the filter.

Blinding in Filtration

  • Blinding in filtration occurs when particles accumulate and clog the filter pores, reducing the filter's permeability and efficiency.

Effective Pore Size

  • The effective pore size of a filter is the minimum size of particles that can be retained by the filter.

Additional Functions of Filtration

  • In addition to separating solids from a fluid stream, filtration can also remove other contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, and dissolved substances, from the fluid stream.
