No. 27505.—31st March, 1910.—EDWIN BURT, of Apartado, 30 El Oro, Estado Mexico, Mexico, Mining Engineer. Process of filtration.

Extract from Specification.—The ore-slime or other material in a semi-liquid state is run into the filter-shell until said filter-shell is filled to a desired extent—say, until it is about one-half full. Air or fluid pressure is then generated in the filter-shell, said air-pressure being preferably increased gradually as filtration progresses, from a desired initial pressure of, say, 10 lb., to a desired final pressure of 40 lb. to 50 lb. The desired initial fluid-pressure in the filter-shell may be generated either by the introduction in said filter-shell of fluid under pressure or by compression of fluid contained in said filter-shell by the admission into said filter-shell of the ore-slime to be filtered. Such compression of fluid contained in the filter-shell can readily be effected either by locating the slime-tank at a higher level than the filter-shell, or by the use of a pump for forcing the ore-slime into said filter-shell. During the filtering operation the filter-shell is rotated slowly, a desirable rate of rotation being about fifteen revolutions per minute.
