Data for the laboratory filtration of CaCO3 slurry in water at 298.2 K (25°C) are reported as follows at a constant pressure (-Ap) of 338 kN/m2. The filter area of the plate-and-frame press was A= 0.0439 m2 and the slurry concentration was cs = 23.47 kg /m3. Calculate the constants α and Rm from the experimental data given, where t is time in s and V is filtrate volume collected in m3.
