Introduction
Sedimentation describes the motion ofmolecules in solutions or particles insuspensions in response to an externalforce such as gravity, centrifugal force orelectric force.The separation of a dilute slurry orsuspension by gravity settling into a clearfluid and s slurry of higher solids content iscalled sedimentation.

Objective & Application
The pu rpos e is to remove the particles from thefluid stream so that the fluid is free of particlecontaminants.Ap pl icat ions o f sed imentat ion include removalof solids from liquid sewage wastes, settling ofcrystals from the mother liquor, separation ofliquid-liquid mixture from a solvent-extraction
stage in settler, water treatment, separation offlocculated particles, lime-soda softening iron andmanganese removal, wastewater treatment,solids/sludge/residuals.

Theory for sedimentationWhenever a particle is moving through a fluid, anumber of forces will be acting on the particle.First, a density difference is needed between theparticle and the fluid.
If the densities of the fluid and particle are equal,the buoyant force on the particle willcounterbalance the external force and the particlewill not move relative to the fluid.
There are three forces acting on the body:- Gravity Force- Buoyant Force- Drag Force

Drag Coefficient
For particle movement influids, drag force is aresistance to its motion.Drag coefficient is acoefficient related to dragforce.
Overall resistance offluids act to particle canbe described in term ofdrag force using dragcoefficient.

Terminal or Settling Velocity
Settling velocity (v t ): the terminal velocity at which a particles falls through a fluid.
When a particle is dropped into a column of fluid itimmediately accelerates to some velocity andcontinues falling through the fluid at that velocity
(often termed the terminal settling velocity ).
8/13/2019 Ch6 Sedimentation
17/49
The speed of the terminal settling velocity of a particledepends on properties of both the fluid and the particle:
Properties of the particle include:
The size if the particle (d).
The shape of the particle.
The density of the material making up the particle ( p).
8/13/2019 Ch6 Sedimentation

FG, the force of gravity acting to
make the particle settle downwardthrough the fluid.
FB, the buoyant force which opposes
the gravity force, acting upwards.
FD, the drag force or viscousforce, the fluids resistance to the
particles passage through the fluid;also acting upwards.

FB is equal to the weight of fluid that is displaced by the

FD is known experimentally to vary with the size of the
particle, the viscosity of the fluid and the speed at which the particle is traveling through the fluid.
Viscosity is a measure of the fluids resistance to
deformation as the particle passes through it.

Stokes Law has several limitations:
i) It applies well only to perfect spheres.
The drag force (3 d vt) is derived experimentally only forspheres.
Non-spherical particles will experience a different distributionof viscous drag.
ii) It applies only to still water.
Settling through turbulent waters will alter the rate at which
a particle settles; upward-directed turbulence will decreasevt whereas downward-directed turbulence will increase vt.
8/13/2019 Ch6 Sedimentation

Coarser particles, with larger settling velocities,experience different forms of drag forces.
iii) It applies to particles 0.1 mm or finer.
Stokes Law overestimatesthe settling velocity ofquartz density particleslarger than 0.1 mm.
When settling velocity is low When settling velocity is high
8/13/2019 Ch6 Sedimentation
35/49
When settling velocity is low (d0.1mm) flow separatesfrom the sphere and a wake ofeddies develops in its lee.
Pressure forces acting on thesphere vary.
Negative pressure in thelee retards the passageof the particle, adding anew resisting force.
Stokes Law neglectsresistance due to
pressure.

iv) Settling velocity istemperature dependant
because fluid viscosity anddensity vary with
temperature.

EXAMPLE
Settling velocity of dust particles
Calculate the settling velocity of dust particles of60 m diameter in air at 21 C and 100 kPapressure. Assume that the particles are sphericaland density = 1280 kg m -3 , and that the viscosityof air = 1.8 x 10 -5 N s m -2 and density of air = 1.2
kg m-3

For 60 m particle:
v = (60 x 10
-6
)2
x 9.81 x (1280 - 1.2)(18 x 1.8 x 10 -5)
= 0.14 m s -1
Checking the Reynolds number for the 60 m particles,
Re = ( v bD / )
= (60 x 10 -6 x 0.14 x 1.2) / (1.8 x 10 -5)
= 0.56

HINDERED SETTLINGDefinition:If the settling is carried out with high concentrations of solids to liquidso that the particles are so close together that collision between theparticles is practically continuous and the relative fall of particlesinvolves repeated pushing apart of the lighter by the heavier particles
it is called hindered settling.
