Answer #1

Cake filtration is the process of passing solid suspension (commonly known as slurry) through a porous media. It is done to seperate the solid particulates from the suspension. Solid particles are retained on the porous medium(also known as septum).

During filtration process initially solids that are trapped in the pores of medium forms the true filter medium. As the time proceeds thickness of cake( solid reatined on spetum) increases, this in turn decreases the rate of filtration which also increases the resistance across the cake.
