Apparatus for separating liquid-solid mixtures such as water from ion-exchange resins and mud in connection with the operation of a nuclear power plant, or separating other mixtures such as acid or alkali containing liquids, and thereafter storing the separated out solids all in one and the same vessel. Located within the vessel which is initially open at the top, and in radially spaced relation from the vessel wall is a filter component in the form of a cylindrical sieve or filter bag. The liquid-solid mixture is introduced into the filter component and the liquid component filters through the wall of the sieve leaving the solids within the filter. The liquid is then drawn off from the vessel by a suction pipe, after which the suction pipe is then removed and the vessel is then closed tightly by a cover member provided for the top. If desired, the vessel can be centrifuged to further remove the water component from within the filter, or compressed air can be introduced into the interior of the filter to serve the same purpose. If the solids are ion-exchange resins which are radioactive, a water and/or ionizing radiation-absorbing agent such as a cement broth may be filled into the cavities remaining in the vessel between its wall and the filter component.
