Q1: Moore filter is a __________ filter.

ANS:A - leaf

Moore filter is a leaf filter.

Explanation:

• Leaf Filter: A leaf filter is a type of filtration system where a series of vertical plates or frames (called leaves) are arranged inside a housing or vessel. The leaves are typically covered with filter media (such as cloth or mesh) that captures solids while allowing liquids to pass through.
• Moore Filter: The Moore filter is a specific type of leaf filter that utilizes these principles. It operates by pumping the liquid to be filtered through the leaves, where the solids are captured on the surface of the leaves as a filter cake. The filtered liquid then passes through and is collected.
• Applications: Leaf filters like the Moore filter are used in various industries for filtering liquids with suspended solids, such as in chemical processing, food and beverage production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Other Filter Types:
  • Press Filter: Often refers to a type of filter press, which uses pressure to separate solids from liquids.
  • Rotary Filter: Refers to filters like the rotary drum vacuum filter, where a rotating drum covered with filter media is used to separate solids from liquids.
  • Sand Filter: Typically used for water treatment and filtration where sand is used as the filter medium to remove particles and impurities from water.
