In the wet-process lithium-ion battery manufacturing workflow, sodium aluminate solution serves as a critical alkaline intermediate for lithium resource extraction and purification. It exhibits complex physicochemical characteristics—high-temperature strong corrosivity, extensive enrichment of ultrafine colloidal impurities, and relatively high slurry viscosity—making solid–liquid separation and purification extremely challenging. Conventional filtration media are prone to corrosion, pore blockage, and material leakage, severely limiting the purity of lithium-ion battery feedstock and the continuous production efficiency of the manufacturing line. Plate-and-frame filter presses are the core equipment for fine solid–liquid separation of sodium aluminate solutions in lithium-ion battery production; the performance of the filter cloth directly determines filtration throughput, the high purity of the filtrate, dewatering and cake formation, and overall on-site operation and maintenance costs. This paper focuses on the specific pain points of filtration conditions for sodium aluminate solutions in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, analyzing common field issues such as rapid alkali-induced aging and clogging of standard filter cloths, difficulty in regeneration, poor cake release, and inadequate impurity retention. Leveraging the R&D and manufacturing expertise of Xiamen Xiadias, a specialist filter-material company, the paper highlights a suite of core adaptation technologies for custom-designed filter cloths tailored for plate-and-frame filter presses: modified alkali-resistant base materials, gradient precision weaving, nano-scale anti-adhesion modification, and high-pressure tear-resistant reinforcement. Based on real-world industrial-scale production conditions in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, the performance of these specialized filter cloths is verified across the entire filtration process—including plate-and-frame filtration, high-pressure pressing, and intelligent backwashing and regeneration—and their effectiveness in enhancing sodium aluminate solution processing capacity, rigorously controlling trace harmful impurities such as iron and silicon, reducing cake moisture content and losses of lithium salt materials carried over with the cake, significantly extending filter-cloth service life, and lowering downtime for cloth replacement and labor-intensive maintenance costs. Practical results demonstrate that Xiadias’ domestically produced, lithium-ion-specific filter cloths can fully replace conventional general-purpose filter media, resolving key technical bottlenecks in the alkaline wet-process filtration of lithium-ion batteries. These cloths are well-suited for long-term, stable, large-scale operations on lithium-ion production lines, delivering multiple benefits including improved product quality, energy savings, reduced consumption, and compliance with environmental regulations. They provide a highly adaptable, low-cost, and durable domestic complete filtration solution for the wet-process solid–liquid separation stage in the lithium-ion new-energy industry chain, thereby supporting the green, low-carbon, high-quality, and scalable upgrading of the lithium-ion sector.

In the dewatering process of municipal sewage and domestic sludge, filter cloths are not only “consumables” for the equipment but also a core technological node that significantly impacts efficiency and cost. In 2026, leading domestic manufacturers such as Citius, leveraging multi-layer composite structural designs, optimized fiber arrangements, durable materials, and proven engineering practices, have laid a solid foundation for the reliable operation of belt press filters in the dewatering of domestic sludge.
Looking ahead, as technology continues to advance, the synergistic optimization of filter cloths and pressing systems will become a key pathway toward making municipal sludge treatment more efficient, resource-oriented, and intelligent.

In the complex systems of mineral processing, filtration often serves as a critical step that determines both product quality and energy consumption levels. Particularly in the beneficiation of non-metallic minerals such as feldspar powder and lepidolite, as well as new-energy mineral resources, the efficiency of solid-liquid separation not only affects recovery rates but also directly impacts the stability of subsequent processes, including drying, roasting, and acid leaching. Among the various filtration equipment available, the horizontal vacuum belt filter—thanks to its advantages of continuous operation, large processing capacity, and high degree of automation—has become one of the main pieces of equipment used in the dewatering stages for feldspar powder and lepidolite.

In the field of chromium salt chemical processing, solid-liquid separation has always been a critical step determining product quality, energy consumption levels, and compliance with environmental protection standards. Particularly in the sodium chromate solution system—obtained by roasting, water leaching, and oxidative conversion of chromite ore—the slurry features high temperature, strong alkalinity, fine particle size, and the presence of unreacted materials and impurities. If filtration is not properly controlled, it will not only affect the efficiency of subsequent evaporation and crystallization processes but also increase the burden on the mother liquor circulation and place greater pressure on environmental treatment. Under such operating conditions, horizontal vacuum belt filters have become the mainstream choice for many chromium chemical enterprises, and the performance of the filter cloth matched to these machines directly determines the overall operational effectiveness of the entire system.

In the fuel and chemical industry, operating conditions characterized by “continuous operation, large throughput, severe corrosion, and significant temperature differences” have almost become the norm. Particularly in facilities such as coal-to-gas, coal-to-methanol, synthetic ammonia, and coking byproduct recovery units, the slurry discharged from gasification furnaces contains not only unreacted carbon particles but also ash, metal oxides, and a certain proportion of fine suspended solids, making solid-liquid separation extremely challenging. In this process stage, horizontal vacuum belt filters have become critical equipment for fuel and chemical plants to achieve continuous dewatering and resource recovery, while industrial filter cloths serve as the core components that determine system stability and filtration efficiency.
