The wet classification of particles < 10 μm is a complex process that has been researched for many years. In this study, the usage of a modified cross‐flow filtration process as a classification process was investigated. With this process, particles in a fine micrometer range can be separated from suspensions. The upper particle size is dependent on hydrodynamic forces. The experimental results were compared with different hydrodynamic force models to predict upper size. The influence of the permeate flux and the particle concentration in the feed on the upper particle size is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
