“…Moreover, at high concentrations in suspensions with deformable and adhesive particles with irregular shape, the interaction between particles in the flow [8][9][10], as well as in the filter cake and with the filter medium cannot be neglected [10][11][12], also indicating the need for higher order resolved coupling methods. In this context, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a powerful method to simulate the motion and interactions of individual particles in particulate systems under the influence of different forces and moments [13][14][15][16][17].…”

In cake filtration processes, where particles in a suspension are separated by forming a filter cake on the filter medium, the resistances of filter cake and filter medium cause a specific pressure drop which consequently defines the process energy effort. The micromechanics of the filter cake formation (interactions between particles, fluid, other particles and filter medium) must be considered to describe pore clogging, filter cake growth and consolidation correctly. A precise 3D modeling approach to describe these effects is the resolved coupling of the Computational Fluid Dynamics with the Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM). This work focuses on the development and validation of a CFD-DEM model, which is capable to predict the filter cake formation during solid-liquid separation accurately. The model uses the Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) to directly solve the flow equations in the CFD part of the coupling and the DEM for the calculation of particle interactions. The developed model enables the 4-way coupling to consider particle-fluid and particle-particle interactions. The results of this work are presented in two steps. First, the developed model is validated with an empirical model of the single particle settling velocity in the transition regime of the fluid-particle flow. The model is also enhanced with additional particles to determine the particle-particle influence. Second, the separation of silica glass particles from water in a pressurized housing at constant pressure is experimentally investigated. The measured filter cake, filter medium and interference resistances are in a good agreement with the results of the 3D simulations, demonstrating the applicability of the resolved CFD-DEM coupling for analyzing and optimizing cake filtration processes.
