FILTRATION

1. When pressure is maintained constant in a filtration process, the rate of filtration

A. Increases B. Decreases C. Remains the D. May either E. Doubles
same increase of
decrease
depending on the
filter medium
Solution:

2. Filtration theory shows that when the resistance of the filter medium is negligible the average
flow rate during filtration is
A. directly B. inversely C. inversely D inversely E. Both a and c
proportional to proportional to proportional to proportional to
the amount of the square of the the square of the the amount of
cake deposited area thickness of the cake deposited
cake at the end of
filtration
Solution:

3. In a constant rate filtration process, under what condition will a plot of pressure vs filtrate
volume collected be non-linear?
A. if the filter B. if the cake is C. if the cake is not D. if CPF is E. All of the
medium resistance compressible washed followed by CRF choices
is negligible
Solution:
