Effect of Deposition in Deep-Bed Filtration: Determination and Search of Rate Parameters.
Particle deposition in deep-bed filters (porous media) is, by nature, an unsteady-state process and the extent of deposition plays an important role in determining filter performance. A general method of establishing the relationship between deposition rate and the extent of deposition from effluent concentration history of filters is presented. The efficacy of the method is examined and its utility demonstrated through its applications to certain experimental data. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
