CONT

This method calls for considerable care and ... its greatest drawback is that it results in a size grading, concentrating the sand fines on the surface, and is therefore unsatisfactory for downward filtration.

  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Ce mode de lavage exige beaucoup de précaution et [...] son plus grave défaut est d'aboutir à un classement granulométrique, concentrant les fines de sable en surface et défavorable à une filtration de haut en bas.
