A problem on filtering a solution of acid and solid particles

[pippobaudo]

Hello everybody, I have the following problem: I have a batch reactor were I have solid particles reacting with acid. The reactor is stirred. The solid particles are in the range 150-250 micron. I'd like to let them react for a short time, and then quickly remove the liquid face and dry up the solid particles. If I use a normal filter the particles will be attached to the filter and difficult to remove.
If you have any ideas please contact me.
Dino.

Can you use a centrifuge?

Hello and thanks for the answer,
no i guess the centrifuge is not available here and i don't know if it would be good to use that since I'd like the particle to conserve their shape. May be I should warm up a bit and increase the surface to separate the water. I will think about it
