The filter cake is washed with about 0.1 to 0.5 m.sup.3 of water per m.sup.3 of filtrate, the wash water is passed through the filter cake at a flow rate of about 0.1 to 1.2 m/h under a pressure of about 1 to 16 bars, and the filter cake is then squeezed to a solid content of about 50 to 70% by weight.
