515 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a mini-review of the various theories in previous literature while considering the transport processes in filter cakes during filtration and consolidation is presented, along with the validity of some frequently adopted assumptions.
106 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of the viability and utility of the conventional cake filtration theory was made by comparing the results based on the conventional theory with those obtained from more exact numerical analyses.
95 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied cake filterability and compressibility as a function of the particle shape and particle size distribution (PSD) and quantitatively assessed the impact of the PSD and the shape.
83 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a model of the polysaccharides prevalent in wastewaters which, on membrane filtration, may form a gel on the membrane surface which subsequently limits filtrate throughput is presented.
