The definition of cake is not established for cake filtration, and especially the definition was impossible for the filtration of the floc already sedimented. The definition is proposed with the experimental method named 'filtration-permeation'. The limit of water content which can be achieved with cake filtration of floc was established with the definition of cake. The expression operation of which the purpose is to reduce the water content of pre-formed filter cake is calculated with our 'unified theory on solid-liquid separation' and compared with the experimental results. The importance of expression is analyzed by the calculated whole procedure of cake filtration and expression. The method determining the most effective operational conditions of filter press including the cake discharge and washing time is proposed.

분진여과시 형성되는 분진 케이크는 궁극적인 여과 성능을 좌우하며, 필터의 구조, 분진 입자의 형태나 크기, 분진농도, 여과속도 등에 의해 영향을 받는다 특히 필터의 표면 구조나 기공 크기는 여과 초기 단계의 케이크 층의 구조를 결정하며, 연속적인 여과시 초기 케이크 층은 다음에 쌓이는 케이크 형성과 비저항에 영향을 주므로 필터 medium 구조 또한 분진여과 과정에서 중요한 영향 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 필터 medium의 구조가 서로 다른 고온가스정화용 복합 세라믹 필터, metal fiber mat, 스테인레스 필터를 이용하여 분진농도와 여과속도를 변수로 하여 분진 여과 실험을 함으로써 각각의 필터에 대한 케이크 비저항과 기공율을 실험과 이론식으로부터 추정하였다.

Filtration on horizontal filter medium facing upward is accompanied by sedimentation. When sedimentation phenomenon is not considered, the average specific cake resistance by filtration could be in error more than two times. In the previous paper on this subject, it was insisted that the solid mass fraction of suspension changes in filtration period by sedimentation. But we could not find out the degree of change. At the first half of this paper, the average specific cake resistance measured by permeation will be proved to be exact in several means. The average specific cake resistance conventionally measured by filtration does not give correct results because it uses initial solid mass fraction of suspension. Then we calculated the changed solid mass fraction of suspension due to sedimentation during filtration by the experimental values obtained "filtration-permeation" method. We also determined the solid mass fraction at a certain moment of filtration from the suspension height and a new equation derived in this study. The two results were compared and proven that they almost matched.

Using the new experimental method named "filtration-permeation", the average specific resistances which plays an important role in designing cake filtration apparatus and the development of cake filtration theory were measured in this study. By this new experimental method, two kinds of average specific resistances are measured. The one from the filtration is named 'filtration average specific resistance $\alpha_{avf}$, and the other from the permeation of particle eliminated water through the pre-formed cake is named 'permeation average specific resistance $\alpha_{avf}$. The "filtration-permeation" method is applied to three different kind of suspensions(i.e. particulate suspension, pre-flocculated suspension and macro-molecule suspension) to obtain filtration and permeation average specific resistances. A theoretical procedure of cake filtration is studied based on the values of permeation average specific resistance. With the study it was concluded that the influence of the sedimentation during particlulate filtration operation could not be ignored as commonly used. And the solid content of suspension, S, which also regarded usually as constant, changes during filtration of particles. It is also verified that the exact value of solid content of cake for floe filtration could not be obtained. These significant problems are all solved by our new "filtration-permeation" experimental method.

여과가 진행됨에 따라 막의 표면에서 발생하여 여과선속을 저하시키는 케이크층의 형성은 막을 이용한 고-액 분리공정에서 발생하는 가장 큰 문제점의 하나로서 이는 막 분리공정의 경제성을 좌우하는 중요한 인자가 된다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 유체와 막 사이의 상대속도를 증가시켜 여과속도를 향상시키는 십자흐름 여과, 즉 CFF(crossflow filtration)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 심자흐름 여과에서도 막과 유체 사이의 상대속도의 증가에 한계가 있고 또한, 막의 기공보다 작은 입자가 막의 기공 내에 침투하여 막을 오염시키는 현상을 예측하기 어렵기 때문에 여과기의 설계에 있어서 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이에 오염된 막을 재생시키기 위하여 기계적.화학적인 여러 가지 방법들이 개발되고 여과선속을 향상시키는 방법이 꾸준히 연구되어 분리막 기술의 경제성을 향상시켜 왔다. 본 연구에서는 매우 안정된 유동의 하나로서 막 표면의 전단력을 향상시키는 데에 효과가 있다고 알려진 Taylor와류를 응용한 회전막 여과기를 사용하여 여러 가지 크기의 입자에 대한 여과실험을 수행함으로써 이러한 유동이 케이크의 형성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 여과선속에 영향을 미치는 여러 매개인자를 알아보고 실험결과를 간단한 모델식에 적용해 봄으로써 막의 저항을 예측할 수 있는 모델식으로의 개선 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

For the filtration of super compactible cake, the high filtration pressure can not improve filtration rate. As the high pressure, in this case, decreases the cake porosity adjacent to filter medium and thus forms 'dense skin' which decreases the rate of liquid flow in a great extent. Actually, there was no method to improve filtration rate for the filtration with super compactible cake. We propose the saturation of $CO_2$ gas into the suspension before the filtration operation for improving the filtration rate. The dissolved $CO_2$ gas transforms itself into gas phase in the dense skin through which the pressure changes dramatically. The gas secures its space inside the dense skin, and finally forms the flow passages which improve the filtration rate.

The average specific cake resistance, the most important indicator for cake filtration and solid-liquid separation, is measured by filtration experiment. But the exact value is difficult to measure because of the other influences such as sedimentation during filtration. This study, a little more stable method named filtration-permeation is proposed for measuring average specific cake resistance. The filtration-permeation is composed of permeation of particle eliminated water through pre-formed cake by filtration. Using 1 wt% calcium carbonate suspension, the filtration-permeation experiments were performed for 8 kinds of filter media at the conditions of 0.5 atm and 0.2 atm, 1 and 3 sheets of filter media. At each specific condition, three to five times filtration-permeation were accomplished. As a result, stable permeation speed is measured. According to this experimental result, the characteristics of permeation and the effect of sedimentation are analyzed with Ruth's equation. The one way analysis of variance (one way ANOVA) is applied to the average specific cake resistances of filtration and permeation obtained with the selected three kinds of filter media. The average specific cake resistances between 0.5 atm and 0.2 atm by filtration do not distinguished, but those by permeation is perfectly distinguished. The experimental results during permeation have a very narrow distribution than that measured during filtration. The analysis of filtration experiments, it was verified that the resistance of filter medium by traditional method is of no significance. Finally, the migration of small particles through the medium composed of fiber glass at low pressure was studied.

Using an experimental method named filtration-permeation, the influence of sedimentation during filtration was studied for the suspensions composed of particles and that of flocs. The average specific cake resistances measured by filtration do not give accurate values because of the sedimentations during filtration, but the permeation data give quite accurate values. The prolonged permeation rates for the cake formed from particulate suspension do not change, but that rate from the floc filtration changes by the sweeping of flocculant. It is proposed that the cake compressibility can be measured with one set of filtration-permeation experiment by step increase of pressure during permeation period. The another experimental method which can shorten experimental time for floc filtration using filtrationpermeation is also proposed.

To know the role of 'the solid compressive pressure to the first solid layer of a cake, $p_d$' in the 'unified theory on solid-liquid separation', we analyzed extremely compressible cake formed with floc for the following three operations with our new concepts. First, the role of $p_d$ was studied in calculating the sediment thickness of floc, and in calculating the cake thickness in cake filtration performed with floc sediment. Second, we calculated the expression procedure using $p_d$. Finally, the influence of $p_d$ on cake thickness in hindered sedimentation, and on the calculation of the procedure of hindered sedimentation $p_d$ was verified. Thus the possibility of application of 'unified theory on solid-liquid separation' and the importance of $p_d$ was verified. Through these processes, new theoretical definitions of the cake filtration, expression and hindered sedimentation was established.
