Which of the following is the most suitable filter for separation of abrasive solids suspended in a corrosive liquid ?
Correct answer: C. Vacuum filter
- A. Sand bed filter
- B. Plate and frame filter press
- C. Vacuum filter
- D. Batch basket centrifuge
Explanation
A vacuum filter is suitable because it can be constructed with corrosion-resistant filter materials and handles abrasive solids without forcing them through delicate pressure-filter equipment. Plate-and-frame presses are more vulnerable to wear and clogging from abrasive particles.
