The data was generated through separation tests conducted in accordance with the VDI 2762 guideline (cake-forming filtration). The study aims to correlate particle morphology with specific filter cake resistance within a viscous medium. Quartz (SiO2, 2.7 g/cm³) from Strobel Quarzsand GmbH, product name BCS201, was used as the disperse phase. To ensure a defined particle size distribution, the material was pre-classified to a target range of 50 to 200 µm using a Nisshin Turbo Classifier TC-15M fine air classifier. The continuous medium consisted of a binary water-glycerin mixture: Glycerin content: 24 mass percent (wt%) Additive: 25 mM potassium iodide (KI). Both chemicals were sourced in analytical grade from Carl Roth GmbH + Co. KG.
