Modelling of Cake Filtration: An Overview

Abstract This work presents an overview of literature relative to the modelling of cake filtration and expression. Different approaches are compared to the so called conventional one in order to underline particular analogies and differences. In this way the derivation of fundamental equations (continuity equation and momentum balance) and the determination of the constitutive equations are discussed. Application of current models to complex materials such as sludge and pulp, and to simulation and design of industrial devices is also discussed.
