Key application of industrial filter cloth and filter mesh in coal chemical industry coal powder ash dewatering —— Solution based on horizontal vacuum belt filter
With the continuous extension and technological upgrading of the coal chemical industry chain, the treatment of coal powder ash (especially by-products such as gasification slag and dry coke ash) has become an important factor restricting the green transformation of the industry. Efficient, safe, and sustainable dewatering and resource utilization of coal powder ash is a real challenge faced by coal chemical enterprises. As one of the core equipment for solid-liquid separation, Horizontal vacuum belt filter With its continuous operation and efficient dewatering characteristics, it has become an ideal solution for coal powder ash dewatering. In this system, The performance of industrial filter cloth and filter mesh directly determines the filtration efficiency, filter cake quality, and operational stability.
I. Technological background of coal powder ash dewatering in coal chemical industry
Coal chemical processes (such as coal gasification, coal-to-olefins, coal-to-oil, etc.) produce a large amount of fine-grained coal powder ash by-products. These ashes contain both unburned carbon particles and are rich in inorganic substances such as aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, and calcium oxide. They have a wide particle size distribution and strong water adhesion. Traditional sedimentation or pressure filtration methods often face the following difficulties:
- High water content in filter cake, high cost of subsequent storage or resource utilization;
- Filter cloth is easily blocked, short filtration cycle, frequent operational interruptions;
- Poor fluidity of slurry, challenging the continuous operation capacity of the equipment.
Therefore, it is necessary to use equipment that can operate continuously and stably under high ash load conditions and achieve good dewatering effect —— This is Horizontal vacuum belt filter the advantage of.
II. Horizontal vacuum belt filter: Core equipment for coal powder ash dewatering
Horizontal vacuum belt filter ( Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filter, HVBF ) adopts continuous filtration mode, achieving solid-liquid separation under vacuum suction, and can be equipped with multiple processes such as backwashing, filtration, and drying. Its outstanding advantages in the coal chemical industry include:
- Continuous operation, high throughput : Suitable for centralized processing of large-scale emissions such as coal powder ash;
- Vacuum dewatering, low water content in filter cake : Dewaters the ash to a state that can be stored or transported directly;
- Multiple filtration stages can be configured : Achieves multi-stage dewatering and washing, assisting in ash resource utilization.
However, to achieve these functions, the performance of the filter cloth and filter mesh is crucial.
III. Key role and performance requirements of industrial filter cloth and filter mesh
In coal powder ash dewatering applications, industrial filter cloth / Filter mesh needs to meet multiple performance standards such as strength, air permeability, stripping property, and corrosion resistance at the same time to support the stable operation of the entire system. Specifically, these include:
1. High-strength support and wear resistance
Coal powder ash contains a large amount of fine particles and hard minerals, which easily cause wear and tear on the surface of the filter cloth. The filter cloth needs to have good mechanical strength and tear resistance to ensure that it does not break or deform during long-term operation.
2. Excellent air permeability and filtration accuracy
The filter cloth needs to maintain appropriate air and liquid permeability while ensuring particle retention to achieve rapid dewatering and low residual rate. High-precision weaving structure and multi-layer filtration design can effectively control the clarity of the filtrate and reduce fine ash penetration.
3. Good stripping property and self-cleaning ability
The filter cake after coal powder ash dewatering has strong adhesion. If the filter cloth surface does not have good stripping properties, it will lead to filter cake retention, cleaning difficulties, and frequent equipment shutdown. Special surface treatments (such as coating, heat setting), and structural optimization design can improve the cake removal efficiency.
4. Corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance
Coal powder ash often contains corrosive gases and alkaline residues, and the filter cloth material needs to have good chemical stability. At the same time, the processing temperature of some coal powder ash is relatively high, and the filter cloth should withstand certain thermal stress changes.
