Ore crushing and grinding
: Feldspar ore is crushed to a certain particle size and made into slurry;
- Chemical treatment and leaching : Impurities are dissolved and separated using acid or alkaline solutions;
- Slurry filtration and solid-liquid separation : Separation of filtrate containing valuable components and feldspar powder solids;
- Washing and drying : Further purification to remove impurities and residual liquids.
- During this process, the slurry often has high concentration and high viscosity, with uneven particle size distribution. Some fine particles easily penetrate the filter layer, causing turbid filtrate; while some coarser particles tend to form a filter cake layer on the filter cloth surface, increasing filtration resistance. This poses the following challenges for the filter cloth: High filtration precision requirements
: Effectively intercept fine particles to maintain clear filtrate;
- Balance permeability and strength : Ensure liquid can quickly pass through the filter cloth while resisting high slurry pressure and long-term mechanical abrasion;
- Strong chemical resistance : Maintain stable performance in acidic, alkaline, and complex chemical environments;
- Easy cleaning and regeneration : Ensure long-term cyclic use of the filter cloth and reduce operating costs.
- 2. Advantages of Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filter Compared with traditional plate and frame filter presses or rotary vacuum filters, the horizontal vacuum belt filter shows obvious advantages in the refining of potash-soda feldspar powder in the chemical industry:
Continuous operation
HVBF
- can achieve continuous feeding, filtration, washing, and discharging of materials, greatly improving processing capacity and suitable for large-scale mineral powder refining production.
Excellent washing effect Materials are evenly distributed on the filter belt and can be washed multiple times by spraying, significantly reducing impurity residues in the filter cake and improving product purity. - Controllable filter cake thickness
By adjusting the parameters of the cloth and vacuum zones, the filter cake thickness can be precisely controlled to ensure liquid permeability speed and optimize solid recovery rate. - Strong adaptability
Suitable for high concentration and high viscosity slurry, especially for potash-soda feldspar powder, which has a complex particle distribution in solid-liquid mixtures. - However,
its efficient operation depends on the performance and quality of the filter cloth. The filter cloth is both a
" Excellent washing effect filter and a conveyor belt ” , whose stability and durability directly affect the equipment's working efficiency. and a 3. Xidiars Industrial Filter Cloth Solutions ” As a leading brand in China's filtration material technology fabric research and manufacturing, Xiamen Xidiars has accumulated rich experience in developing filter cloth for horizontal vacuum belt filters.
