A system for dewatering a suspension of solids in an electric field controllably maintained between opposing electrode structures A, C, to id cause the solids to migrate relative to the carrier liquid to form a layer or cake O on the set of electrode structures A in which the electrode members are positioned within ion- permeable walls and immersed in a selected electrolyte, while allowing carrier liquid to be withdrawn under vacuum in the opposite direction through the liquid-pervious wall of hollow, counter electrode structures C, and wherein said layer or cake material can be detached from said electrode structures A during exposure from the suspension, e.g. by doctor blades 17, 18. <IMAGE> |
