A fermentation slurry containing Streptomyces kanamyceticus cells is filtered using a continuous rotary vacuum filter. 120 kg h- 1 slurry is fed to the filter; 1 kg slurry contains 60 g cell solids. To improve filtration rates, particles of diatomaceous-earth filter aid are added at a rate of 10 kg h- 1. The concentration of kanamycin in the slurry is 0.05% by weight. Liquid filtrate is collected at a rate of 112 kg h-1; the concentration of kanamycin in the filtrate is 0.045% (w/w). Filter cake containing cells and filter aid is continuously removed from the filter cloth.If the concentration of kanamycin in the filter-cake liquid is the same as in the filtrate, how much kanamycin is absorbed per kg filter aid?.,..... 10-4 -triyambak.org
