A new plant requires a large rotary vacuum filter for the filtration of zinc sulfite from a slurry containing 1 kg of zinc sulfite solid per 20 kg of liquid. The liquid contains water, sodium sulfite, and sodium bisulfite. The filter must handle 8000 kg of slurry per hour. What additional information is necessary to design the rotary vacuum filter? How much of this information could be obtained from laboratory or pilot-plant tests? Outline the method for converting the test results to the conditions applicable in the final design.
