Let's work together to create a new model for efficient, green, and economical solid-liquid separation in smelting!

1. Solid-liquid separation needs in the smelting industry

The smelting industry involves high-temperature smelting, refining, and waste residue treatment of metal ores, with a significant demand for solid-liquid separation throughout the process, such assteel slag dewatering, red mud filtration, flue gas desulfurization, and metal refining sediment filtration.Due to the characteristics of materials produced during the smelting process, which often includehigh temperature, high corrosiveness, and high solid content,common filtration materials struggle to meet the requirements for long-term stable operation.

Xiamen Citius Filter Media Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xiamen Citius") has over30 years of industry experience,focusing on the research and manufacturing of high-performance industrial filter fabrics, providing efficient and durable filtration solutions for the smelting industry, helping enterprises optimize production processes and enhance environmental protection and resource recovery capabilities.

2. Filtration equipment and filter cloth solutions suitable for the smelting industry

The solid-liquid separation equipment involved in the smelting industry is diverse, and Xiamen Citius's industrial filter cloth can be widely applied to the following equipment:

✅Horizontal vacuum belt filter—— Suitable for dewatering steel slag, red mud, and wet metallurgy sediment.
✅Drum vacuum filter—— Suitable for handling metal refining sediment and flue gas desulfurization by-products.
✅Plate and frame filter press, vertical filter press—— Suitable for refining waste liquid and slurry concentration solid-liquid separation.
✅Belt press filter—— Suitable for dewatering smelting sludge.

Xiamen Citius can research and produce various special performance monofilament materials according to different application conditions of customers, including: ordinary and high hydrolysis-resistant PET, PA (PA6, PA66, PA610, PA11, PA12, etc.), PP (including high-temperature resistant PP), PPS, PEEK, and core materials (PA/PET, PPS/PET). These materials broaden the application fields of Xiamen Citius's products and meet the specific requirements of customers for filtration materials.

3. Typical application case: Steel slag dewatering

🔹 Application background
Steel slag is a by-product generated during the steelmaking process, containing a certain amount of metal oxides and residual metals, which need to undergo dewatering, screening, and recovery to achieve resource utilization. However, steel slag contains a large number of fine particles, and traditional filtration media are prone to clogging, affecting filtration efficiency and filter cloth lifespan.

🔹 Solution
Xiamen Citius recommends high-wear-resistant industrial filter cloth suitable for steel slag dewatering, usingHorizontal vacuum belt filterhigh-strength monofilament + multi-layer composite woven structure,which has the following advantages:✔
Wear-resistant—— Can withstand the scouring of steel slag particles, extending the filter cloth lifespan by over 30%.High permeability
Wear-resistant—— Rapid liquid discharge, reducing the moisture content of the filter cake to25%-30%.High temperature and corrosion resistance
Wear-resistant—— Adaptable to high-temperature and high-corrosion environments in smelting, ensuring long-term stable operation.Easy to peel off filter cake
Wear-resistant—— Improves slag discharge efficiency and reduces filter cloth cleaning frequency.🔹 Application effect

After application in a large steel plant, the steel slag dewatering efficiency increased by
25%,and the filter cloth replacement cycle was extended by1.5 times,significantly reducing maintenance costs while improving the recycling rate of steel slag.4. Other application cases in the smelting industry

Red mud dewatering (alumina industry)

✅Red mud is the main solid waste in alumina production, and Xiamen Citius provides high chemical corrosion-resistant filter cloth suitable for horizontal belt vacuum filters, achieving efficient dewatering and dry discharge.
Wet metallurgy metal refining

✅Sediments generated from wet metallurgy processes for copper, zinc, nickel, etc., require high-precision filtration. Xiamen Citius's filter cloth can be applied to disc filters and drum filters, ensuring high clarity of the filtrate and improved metal recovery rates.
Flue gas desulfurization by-product treatment

✅The desulfurization process in the smelting industry generates by-products such as gypsum. Xiamen Citius's filter cloth is suitable for plate and frame filter presses, effectively separating solids and improving the quality of desulfurization by-products.
Precious metal recovery filtration

✅High-precision filtration is required during the smelting of precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Xiamen Citius provides low-clogging, high-precision filter cloth to enhance recovery rates and filtration efficiency.
