Equipment selection for thicker, more difficult-to-filter substances
Thread Content
Seeking advice: In the process I use, toluene is the solvent, and separation is carried out using a vacuum filter. Since the filter cake layer is quite thick and difficult to filter, it is necessary to manually press it with a spoon continuously, which results in a long processing time. Do any of you know of other filters that can achieve similar good results? It’s best to be vacuum-type
What is the quantity, and what does the filter cake mainly consist of? What is the negative pressure used for vacuum filtration? Take a photo so I can see what’s wrong.
