Industrial Filtration

"Industrial Filtration" is an authoritative guide to the mechanical and chemical processes of solid-liquid separation within large-scale manufacturing. Written by Arthur Wright, this technical work provides a comprehensive overview of the equipment and methods used to refine chemical products and manage industrial waste. The text delves into the practicalities of filter press operations, leaf filters, and continuous vacuum filtration, offering detailed insights into the efficiency and economic considerations of various filtration systems.

The work serves as a vital resource for understanding the evolution of chemical engineering during a period of rapid industrial expansion. It covers essential topics such as cake formation, washing, and discharge, as well as the selection of appropriate filter media for different materials. By focusing on the fundamental principles of clarity and recovery, Wright provides engineers and technicians with the tools necessary to optimize industrial output. This classic technical manual remains a significant reference for students of chemical technology and professionals interested in the historical development of industrial separation processes.
