X-ray tomography scans of filter cakes (feed slurry: variation in fraction of fines)
Subtitle: variation of the fine fraction by 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100 vol.-% in the feed slurry
Abstract
X-ray tomography scans of partially dewatered filter cakes with variation of fine particles within the feed slurry. The mixture composition varies by addition of fines by 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 100 vol.-%. The initial slurry contains Al2O3 particles suspended in a potassium iodide-glycerol solution and separated by cake-forming filtration. All filtration experiments took place in an in-situ apparatus inside the Zeiss Xradia 510 X-ray microscope.
