Sedimentation and Thickening: Phenomenological Foundation and Mathematical Theory

The aim of this book is to present a rigorous phenomenological and mathematical formulation of sedimentation processes and to show how this theory can be applied to the design and control of continuous thickeners. The book is directed to students and researchers in applied mathematics and engineering sciences, especially in metallurgical, chemical, mechanical and civil engineering, and to practicing engineers in the process industries. Such a vast and diverse audience should read this book ...
