ABSORPTION OF PARTICLES IN FILTERS OF WATER-PIPELINE PURIFICATION WORKS G. D. Reznikov UDC 628.1/3 A quantitative evaluation of the factors that can influence the absorption of particles is performed. It is shown that the approach of a particle to the surface of a grain of a charge is governed by the sedimentation and the position in the flow. The absorption itself is attributable to a sieve effect. JEPTER74920199913 JEPTER7492013
