A wide range of inorganic concentrates with different properties makes it difficult to directly apply the theory of filtration and requires the use of modeling methods.
In this regard, the development of models of filtering processes is actual.
The filtration process with the formation of compressible sediments is particularly important. This process involves the use of experimental data, as well as the development of a methodology for calculation of filtration system.
The purpose of this work is the development of mathematical models of filtration with the formation of compressible sediments using a filtration system of concentrates (e.g., liquid sulfur).
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following problems:
1. determination of the dependence of the porosity of the concentrates' sediment on the compressive stress;
2. determination of the relationship between the porosity of the sediment and its specific resistance;
3. determination of the dependence of the specific resistance of the sediment on the impurity concentration;
4. determination of the influence of filter pore sizes on the cleaning efficiency of suspended particles by filtration method;
5. development of a mathematical model of the filtration process through the membrane layer;
6. development of a mathematical model for filtration of concentrates with the formation of a compressible sediment;
7. improvement of the liquid sulfur filtration system.
