Abstract

Prefil Footprinter, a portable pressure filtration instrument, is usually employed to detect liquid metal quality. However, no investigations have ever been done to determine overall filtration resistance and resistance of the “clean” filter media. Based on the identification of flow behaviour using the derivative methods, classic filtration equations have been effectively used to estimate total filtration resistance for the first time. The variations of overall resistance during filtration provide a new approach to understand filtration behaviour. The resistance values of the “clean” filter media have been obtained for the first time. An innovative method has been developed to obtain the resistance of the “clean”' filter media through the backward extrapolation of the overall filtration resistance versus filtrate weight or filtration time curves over the steady stages operating in incompressible cake mode.
