Application of Filter Cloth in Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters —— Solid-Liquid Separation Solution for Stainless Steel Slag Treatment
In the modern metallurgical industry chain, stainless steel production is a quintessential resource- and energy-intensive sector. As production capacity expands and processes are upgraded, by-products —— The issue of treating stainless steel tailings is becoming increasingly prominent. These tailings not only contain a large number of solid particles that are difficult to utilize directly, but also include residual metal elements that can be recycled, as well as wastewater that must meet emission standards before disposal. If handled improperly, this could lead to both resource waste and environmental pollution. Therefore, how to efficiently carry out solid-liquid separation of these tailings has emerged as a critical step that the industry urgently needs to address.
In this process, Horizontal vacuum belt filter equipped with high-performance industrial filter cloth , forming an effective solution. Xadias CITIUS Leveraging its deep expertise in the research, development, and manufacturing of industrial filter fabrics, we provide stable, efficient, and cost-effective solid-liquid separation solutions for the treatment of stainless steel tailings.
I. Characteristics and Treatment Requirements of Stainless Steel Slag
Stainless steel slag typically originates from processes such as steelmaking, refining, rolling, and wastewater treatment. Its composition is complex, containing not only metallic elements like iron, chromium, and nickel, but also materials such as lime, silicates, oxides, and even some acidic or alkaline impurities. Moreover, the particle distribution in the slag varies significantly, ranging from coarse particles to a large number of fine, suspended particulates.
Handling the requirements primarily focuses on the following points:
- Highly Efficient Solid-Liquid Separation : It is necessary to minimize the solid content in the filtrate as much as possible, ensuring that the water quality meets discharge standards or can be recycled.
- The filter cake can be reused. Some metals or minerals in solid tailings can be recovered, requiring the formation of a filter cake with low moisture content that is easy to transport and further utilize.
- Wear Resistance and Chemical Resistance : The tailings have a complex composition, placing higher demands on the filter cloth's mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
- Continuous and stable operation : With a large production scale, the filtration process must feature long-term stability and minimal failure rates.
II. Advantages of Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters in Tailings Treatment
The horizontal vacuum belt filter is a typical continuous solid-liquid separation device, particularly well-suited for industrial applications requiring large-scale, high-throughput operations. In stainless steel tailings treatment, its advantages are evident:
- Large processing capacity : Capable of handling high-capacity operations in the metallurgical industry, processing large batches of tailings in a single pass.
- Continuous dehydration : The material forms a uniform filter cake on the filter cloth, and the continuous application of vacuum negative pressure effectively reduces the moisture content of the filter cake.
- Multi-stage washing : Multi-stage washing can be performed during the filter cloth operation, further extracting soluble metal elements and enhancing resource recovery rates.
- High degree of automation :The equipment operates stably and can perform automated tasks such as filter cloth cleaning and filter cake removal, reducing the need for manual intervention.
In this process, The filter cloth is the core medium. , its performance directly determines the efficiency and effectiveness of tailings treatment.
3. Xadias CITIUS The technological advantages of industrial filter cloths

- Excellent solid-liquid separation performance
The filter cloth features a precise pore size distribution, effectively trapping fine particles in the tailings while maintaining high permeability for the filtrate, thus achieving the dual objectives of clarifying the filtrate and forming a well-defined filter cake. - Wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant
Facing the hard particles and chemical corrosive agents embedded in the tailings, Xadias CITIUS The filter cloth has been optimized in terms of weaving techniques, fiber selection, and surface treatment, significantly enhancing its durability. - The filter cake peels off smoothly.
The filter cloth boasts high surface smoothness, allowing the filter cake to detach quickly once the set moisture content is reached, thereby preventing secondary contamination or residue and enhancing operational efficiency. - Customized Processing
Depending on the specific requirements of the equipment and processes, filter cloths can undergo special treatments such as glue brushing, edge wrapping, and hole punching, ensuring optimal assembly compatibility and operational stability. - Long-term operation
Under sustained vacuum negative pressure and high-load operating conditions, the filter cloth continues to maintain its strength and stability, reducing replacement frequency and lowering overall costs.
IV. Application Cases and Process Achievements
In a tailings treatment project at a certain stainless steel plant, a horizontal vacuum belt filter is used in conjunction with Xadias. CITIUS The filter cloth achieves the following effects:
- Improved clarity of the filtrate : Solid content controlled at 50ppm Within this limit, it meets the environmental emission requirements.
- The moisture content of the filter cake decreases. : A decline compared to traditional methods 5% to 8% , significantly reducing subsequent drying and transportation costs.
- Increased Metal Recovery Rate : Multiple washing steps increase the recovery rate of soluble metals by approximately 10% , creating additional economic value.
- Enhanced operational stability : Extended filter cloth replacement cycle 30% Above, the frequency of equipment downtime maintenance has significantly decreased.
These data indicate that Xadias CITIUS The application of filter cloths in stainless steel tailings treatment has not only enhanced solid-liquid separation efficiency but also played a positive role in energy conservation, cost reduction, and resource recycling.
