(TI-59) Horizontal Belt Filtration

[SlideRule]

An excerpt from Computer Simulation Applied to the Separation of Porous Leach Residue Solids From Liquor by Horizontal Belt Filtration, US-DoI, Bureau of Mines, Information Circular 8873, 1982

"                                        ABSTRACT
   The Bureau of Mines, in its alumina miniplant project to investigate alumina recovery
from domestic, nonbauxitic ores, has conducted research on the use of a hydrochloric
acid leaching, gas sparging crystallization technology. An important element of this
research is the efficient separation of undissolved, siliceous residue from AlCl₃-bearing
leach liquors by continuous, horizontal, countercurrent vacuum belt filtration.

   Least-squares based computer programs are provided, which are useful not only in
producing material balances from plant data but also in predicting balances for
untested configurations using the same feed materials.
