Metso, a global leader in sustainable mineral and metal processing technologies, cc144 ceramic filters that is purchased by many mining companies to dehydrate concentrates and filter tailings.
CC Ceramic filters are usually made of porous ceramic materials with micrometer-scale pores that allow solid-liquid separation through capillary action.
Capillary action: Micrometer-scale pores (usually 0.5-5μm) inside ceramics form capillary networks, and water is absorbed into the pores due to surface tension.
Vacuum Assist: An external vacuum system enhances negative pressure and accelerates liquid penetration through the filter plate, while solid particles are trapped on the surface to form filter cakes.
Periodic backwashing: Reverse water flow or gas pulses are used to remove particles that clog pores and restore filtration efficiency. In concentrate dehydration, CC Ceramic filters plates may be used to improve the dryness of the concentrate and reduce transportation costs. In tailings filtration, CC Ceramic filters plates may be used to recover water, reduce the pressure on tailings ponds, and improve environmental benefits.
With the characteristics of high efficiency dehydration, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness, CC Ceramic filters plates has significant advantages in the treatment of concentrate and tailings, especially for fine particles and high value minerals.
