By comprehensive investigation of varied particle size distributions and different materials, it could be demonstrated that cake properties can be successfully correlated with particle collective characteristics. Once the correlations are established, predictions of the filter performance under conditions of changing particle size are possible using existing kinetic models. It is therefore possible to reduce the total amount of work needed to get extensive information about the filtration behavior of slurries in the case of changing particle size.
