The effect of some influencing parameters such as temperature, initial concentration of flusilicic acid, rate of addition of Al(OH)(3) powder, agitation speed and aging time of slurry and their mixed effects on the filtration rate of silica precipitates have been investigated. Moreover, a suitable model is presented to describe the formation mechanism of aggregated silica precipitates which can well explain the effect of different factors on the filtration rate of the silica precipitates.
