Aluminum Hydroxide: Factors Affecting the Filtration Effect of High Temperature Alumina

In the process of high-temperature alumina production itself may have some impurities, so it needs to be filtered to filter out these impurities to obtain higher purity products. Today we are going to introduce what factors affect the filtration effect of high-temperature alumina.
1. The viscosity of the slurry.
The slurry viscosity has a great influence on filtration. The higher the slurry viscosity, the slower the high temperature alumina passes through the filter medium, and the more difficult the filtration will affect its filtration effect to a certain extent.
2. Use cycle of filter cloth.
The filter cloth has a short service cycle and the operation rate of the filter equipment becomes lower. Therefore, the filter cloth should be selected according to the actual situation.
3. Filter pressure.
The greater the filtration pressure, the stronger the filtration power, and the faster the filtration of high-temperature alumina.
4. Filter media.
The nature of the filter cloth has a certain influence on the filtration of high temperature alumina. Usually, the larger the filter cloth hole, the easier the filtrate to pass through, and the better the production capacity. However, too large a filter cloth hole diameter will also cause fine solid particles to pass through easily and enter the filtrate.
The physical properties of solid materials will also affect the filtering effect of high temperature alumina. In general, the coarser the particle size of solid materials is, the larger the pore size of filter cake as filter medium is, the easier the filtrate penetrates, the better the filtration performance is, and the solid materials with fine particle size are easy to block the pores of filter cloth. If the pores of filter medium are small, the filtration speed will be reduced.
