Issues related to the recovery and filtration of industrial wastewater
Thread Content
I work in the field of extracting metals from industrial wastewater, operating on a small scale. Thanks to my hard work and good luck, my business is growing steadily. Now I would like to seek advice from experts. I currently use a Büchner funnel, filter paper, and a vacuum pump to filter the residues from industrial wastewater; this method works well but isn’t very efficient. I’m considering using industrial filtration methods now, but I’m not sure which type would be suitable for my needs. Laboratory-grade filter paper seems to suffice, but what kind of equipment should I use? I don’t think it’s that difficult, but I lack experience in the chemical industry. . . I hope you can be more detailed – specific models or reference models
First, perform a particle size analysis on the solution. Determine the filtering method based on your processing volume. If the volume is small, that is, 1 cubic meter per hour, a precision filter will suffice; a cheap wire-wound filter element can be used for this purpose. If the filter residue is to be retained, a filter press can also be used.
2# FILTRATION-MAN: I want to keep those filter residues, as many precious metals are found in them. 1 cubic meter per hour is sufficient. Could you please specify the exact model? Thank you very much
For the specific model, you need to consult the filter press manufacturer; they will provide you with professional advice. You can learn about domestic filter press brands.
OP, if 1 cubic meter needs to be filtered every hour, what is the solid content ratio? Is your working time 8 hours of filtering? Just tell me the total amount and working hours, and I can determine the model. There is also the pH value of the material.
