Application of industrial filter cloth and filter mesh in vertical filter presses —— A key link in the brine purification process of the salt industry
With the widespread demand for salt products such as edible salt and industrial salt in the global market, the stability and efficiency of salt production processes have become an important part of the core competitiveness of enterprises. In the salt production process, brine purification is an indispensable link, especially in the process routes of natural brine, well salt, and sea salt, its impurity content and stability directly affect the quality of salt. Among them, ** Calcium carbonate ( CaCO ₃ ) and calcium sulfate ( CaSO ₄ ) ** As typical insoluble inorganic impurities, they often exist in crystalline or colloidal forms and must be removed through effective solid-liquid separation processes.
In this process, Industrial filter cloth and filter mesh As the core components of filtration equipment, their performance directly affects filtration efficiency, filtrate clarity, filter cake dehydration rate, and equipment operating stability. Especially in Vertical filter presses which are widely used in salt plant brine purification workshops, the filter cloth system is the " core muscle ”。
This article will combine typical process flows to analyze the application characteristics, selection principles, and key performance optimization strategies of industrial filter cloths in this scenario, and take Xiamen Citius (Xiamen Citius) Filtration Materials Technology Co., Ltd.'s products as an example to discuss its practical cases and technical value in brine purification in the salt industry.
I. Difficulties in solid-liquid separation in brine purification
1. Complex impurity types
In addition to soluble sodium chloride, natural brine usually contains Mg² ⁺ 、 Ca² ⁺ 、 SO ₄ ² ⁻ 、 CO ₃ ² ⁻ Ions, after adding lime milk, soda ash, etc. in the pre-purification process, a large amount of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and magnesium hydroxide precipitates will be generated. These solid particles have a wide particle size distribution and often contain a large number of flocs and colloids, making filtration more difficult.
2. High requirements for filter cake moisture control
To ensure the efficiency of subsequent mother liquor reuse or salting-out concentration, the filtrate needs to be as clear as possible, and the filter cake needs to be thoroughly dehydrated for easy transportation and processing.
3. High requirements for filter cloth corrosion resistance and regeneration ability
Due to the high concentration of chloride ions and alkaline substances in the brine, the filter cloth needs to have good corrosion resistance; at the same time, the filtration cycle is short and the replacement frequency is high during daily operation, and the regeneration cleaning ability is a key indicator for controlling maintenance costs.
II. Technical advantages of vertical filter presses and filter cloth matching
1. Process principle brief description
Vertical filter presses use vertically arranged filter plates and filter cloths to form a closed filter chamber, achieving high-intensity pressure filtration under pressure. Its characteristics are small footprint, high degree of automation, and strong pressing force, suitable for processing high-concentration, low-mobility slurry materials.
2. Filter cloth structural requirements
- High-strength tensile strength : To cope with repeated movement and hydraulic impact during multiple pressing;
- Excellent de-caking performance : Allows calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate precipitates to peel off quickly, preventing clogging of the cloth surface;
- High filtration accuracy : High filtrate clarity, preventing residual impurities;
- Strong alkali and chlorine corrosion resistance : Extends the service life of the filter cloth;
- Good cleaning performance : Adapts to the online cleaning requirements of salt plants, reducing the replacement frequency.

IV. Analysis of Actual Application Cases
Case Background:
A large-scale salt chemical enterprise in East China introduced a vertical filter press for the pretreatment of brine purification of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate in the seawater salt making process. The original use of ordinary domestic filter cloth had the following problems:
- Severe filter cake adhesion, low cake removal efficiency;
- Frequent monthly replacement cycles, high maintenance costs;
- Unstable filtrate turbidity, affecting the subsequent process of salt precipitation concentration control.
Solution:
Introducing Xiadiya Si (Xiamen Citius) After customized filter cloth (using composite monofilament structure, alkali-resistant materials), the operation performance is as follows:
- Filter cake separation efficiency increased by nearly 40% ,basically achieving automatic cake discharge;
- Filter cloth replacement cycle from 30 days extended to 90 days or more;
- Stable filtrate turbidity, stable operation of subsequent processes, salt purity increased 1.3% 。
Customer feedback: " Xiadiya Si (Xiamen Citius) The filter cloth not only improves filtration efficiency but also reduces operating costs, making it a trustworthy partner. ”
