- Exploring the secrets of industrial filtration - Alumina Ceramic foam Filter Plate
In the huge system of industrial production, every link is like a precision gear, meshing with each other and jointly promoting the efficient operation of production. The filtration link is undoubtedly key to ensuring product quality and smooth production. Among many filter materials, alumina Ceramic foam Filter plates can be called "invisible guards". With their unique advantages, they silently guard the quality and efficiency of industrial production.
From a microscopic perspective, the internal structure of the alumina ceramic filter plate is like an exquisite maze. The criss-crossing and interconnected capillary pores have a pore size precisely controlled between 1 and 10 microns. This special structure gives it a strong filtering ability. When a fluid containing impurities flows through the filter plate, particles larger than the micropore size are directly intercepted on the surface of the filter plate, just like pedestrians who stray into a dead end, completing the initial filtration of mechanical screening.
For those particles that are smaller in size and smaller than the micropore size, alumina-ceramic filter plates have another set of coping strategies. Its hydrophilic properties make water and the ceramic surface produce strong surface tension, forming a magical capillary phenomenon. With the help of vacuum suction, the filtrate can pass through the micropores smoothly, while the air is kept out, so that the micropores are always filled with liquid. In this way, when tiny particles pass through the micropores, they will be firmly adsorbed on the pore wall, achieving deep filtration and purification.
In actual industrial applications, taking the ceramic vacuum filter as an example, its work process is divided into the slurry suction area, drying area, unloading area, and backwashing area. In the slurry suction area, the filter plate is like a hard-working "gold digger", immersed in the slurry tank, with the help of the strong suction of the vacuum, the suspended materials in the slurry are adsorbed on its surface, the solid materials are left, and the filtrate is smoothly discharged or recycled. Then, the filter plate enters the drying area, and under the continuous action of the vacuum, the filter cake is further dehydrated. After the drying is completed, the scraper in the unloading area gently scrapes, and the filter cake is unloaded. Finally, the filter plate enters the backwash area, and the filtered water enters the filter plate through the distribution head, washing away the particles blocked in the micropores and completing a complete filtration cycle.
In terms of production and manufacturing, the birth of alumina ceramic foam Filter plates is also full of wisdom and ingenuity. The main raw material, α-alumina, is combined with kaolin, potassium feldspar, and other additives. Some processes also cleverly use alumina foam ceramic waste, which not only reduces costs but also optimizes particle grading. From batching ball milling, impregnation molding, to drying treatment, surface spraying, and finally high-temperature sintering, every step is strictly controlled to ensure product quality.
With these excellent properties, alumina ceramic filter plates have shown their prowess in many fields. In the metal smelting and casting industry, it is a "master" in purifying aluminum water, helping to produce high-quality aluminum alloy products; in the mine concentrate filtration and dehydration operation, it can efficiently process various concentrates; in the field of environmental protection, it is a powerful assistant in the treatment of "three wastes", realizing the efficient separation of pollutants and the recycling of resources. In addition, it can be seen in many industries such as the coal and chemical industries.
Alumina ceramic filter plates, with their unique filtering principles, rigorous production processes, and wide applications, play an indispensable and important role in industrial production, safeguarding industrial development.
