The first quality of a liquid filtering media is its permeability, i.e. how easily a liquid can flow through the filter. The
Chemical treatment means the use of coagulants or flocculants to enhance the agglomeration of solid particles in the slurry to form larger
“Filter Aids” is a group of inert materials that can be used in filtration pretreatment. There are two objectives related to the
Zeta potential is a measure of charges carried by particles suspended in a liquid (mostly water). Most particles suspended in water and
Filter aids are used to solve the problems of slow filtration rate, rapid medium blinding or unsatisfactory filtrate clarity. Filter aids are
