This article will explore how the combination of horizontal vacuum belt filter and industrial filter cloth achieves efficient separation in aluminum hydroxide refining.

Background and Demand for Aluminum Hydroxide Flame Retardant Production

Aluminum hydroxide flame retardant is an inorganic filler that achieves flame retardancy through reactions such as heat absorption, moisture release, and the generation of inert aluminum oxide during combustion. The main processes for producing aluminum hydroxide include dissolution, crystallization, filtration, and drying. In these stages, the corrosion resistance and efficient filtering capability of the filter cloth directly affect the purity and particle size distribution of aluminum hydroxide. Therefore, when selecting filtering equipment and filter cloth, it is necessary to consider chemical resistance, filtration precision, and durability.

Technical Advantages of Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filter

The horizontal vacuum belt filter is a commonly used solid-liquid separation device in aluminum hydroxide refining and is widely applied in the chemical industry. This equipment creates a vacuum environment through a fixed vacuum box and a moving filter belt, achieving continuous filtration, cake washing, and discharge. Its working principle involves evenly distributing materials on the vacuum belt and using negative pressure generated by the vacuum system to draw off liquids while retaining solid particles.

The main advantages of horizontal vacuum belt filters include:

Continuous Operation Capability: This equipment can achieve uninterrupted solid-liquid separation, significantly improving production efficiency, especially suitable for large-scale production demands of aluminum hydroxide flame retardants.

Efficient Filtration Effect: In a vacuum environment, the belt filter can separate aluminum hydroxide from impurities, ensuring product purity while further enhancing product quality through multi-step filtration and cake washing.

Stable and Durable: The vacuum belt filter made from corrosion-resistant materials has strong acid-base resistance, capable of withstanding chemical erosion over long periods while maintaining stability and durability.
