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.
