Sulfuric Acid Filter
In the field of sulfuric acid filtration, the vacuum disc filter is one of the most widely adopted pieces of equipment.Featuring a corrosion-resistant structure and specialized filtration media, it leverages vacuum negative pressure to achieve rapid capture and separation of solid particles in acid solutions. Widely applied in highly corrosive working conditions such as sulfuric acid production, chemical pickling, and metallurgical acid leaching, this equipment offers outstanding advantages including high separation efficiency, superior filtrate clarity, stable and reliable operation, and easy maintenance. It serves as a core piece of equipment for material processing in acidic systems.
The shell material of sulfuric acid filter
Material type | Applicable scenarios | Core strengths |
Reinforced Polypropylene (FRPP) | Normal temperature, medium low concentration sulfuric acid (≤ 70%) working condition | Strong acid and corrosion resistance, light weight, moderate cost, easy installation |
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) | High temperature (≤ 120 ℃), high concentration sulfuric acid (≥ 90%) or mixed acid working conditions | Extremely strong corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high mechanical strength, and long service life |
Rubber lined carbon steel (butyl rubber/fluororubber lining) | Large processing capacity, final concentration sulfuric acid working condition | High structural strength, acid and wear resistance, high cost-effectiveness, suitable for large equipment |
Hastelloy | Extreme corrosion conditions (high temperature, high concentration sulfuric acid+impurities) | Good corrosion resistance, adaptable to complex and harsh environments, industrial grade high-end choice |
Advantages of Sulfuric Acid Filter
1. Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Strong Adaptability
Specifically engineered for sulfuric acid systems, the entire machine housing and filtration media are constructed from acid-resistant, application-specific materials. It delivers stable performance across sulfuric acid environments of varying concentrations and temperatures, as well as mixed-acid settings. This effectively addresses the industry-wide pain points of equipment aging and damage under highly corrosive working conditions.
2. High-Efficiency Separation & Outstanding Capacity
The vacuum disc design features a large contact area, enabling rapid filtration under negative pressure. Its efficiency is 2–3 times that of conventional equipment, with solid recovery rates reaching over 98% and suspended solids in the filtrate controlled to ≤ 50 ppm. This significantly boosts overall production efficiency.
3. Stable Operation & Easy Maintenance
The machine adopts a modular layout, ensuring a compact structure and minimal floor space. The proven drive system design guarantees smooth operation and low failure rates. Filter cloth replacement is straightforward, and cleaning cycles are extended, effectively reducing daily operation and maintenance costs, as well as unplanned downtime.
4. Energy Efficiency & Environmental Friendliness for Green Production
Powered by vacuum negative pressure, its energy consumption is only about 60% of that of pressure-driven filtration equipment. The filtrate can be directly recycled, and the filter cake moisture content is reduced to below 25%. This not only cuts acid solution losses but also alleviates subsequent environmental treatment burdens, fully aligning with clean production principles.
5. Flexible Customization & Wide Application Coverage
Filter area, material combinations, and automation levels can be flexibly configured to meet specific process requirements, comprehensively satisfying diverse application scenarios across industrial production operations of all scales.
Precautions for Sulfuric Acid Filter Operation
Precision Material Selection & Working Condition Matching
Select materials for the equipment housing and filtration media scientifically based on sulfuric acid concentration and impurity types. This prevents risks such as corrosion and leakage caused by material incompatibility.
Inspection of Sealing & Vacuum Systems
Prior to equipment operation, inspect the acid-resistant seals on flange sealing surfaces and pipeline connections to ensure zero leakage. Conduct regular checks on the airtightness of vacuum pumps and vacuum pipelines to maintain stable negative pressure.
Corrosion Prevention & Safety Protection
Equip the area around the equipment with acid collection tanks and emergency neutralization facilities. Operators must wear acid-alkali resistant protective clothing, goggles or face shields, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent personal injury caused by acid splashing.
Filtration Media Maintenance
Clean filter cloths/filter membranes on a regular basis—backwash with clean water or soak in dilute alkaline solution under neutral conditions—to avoid filter pore clogging that would compromise filtration efficiency. Replace damaged filter materials immediately to prevent cross-contamination of filtrate.
Strict Operation Parameter Control
Never operate the equipment beyond the temperature resistance limits of its materials or the designed pressure. During feeding, regulate slurry concentration and solid particle size appropriately to prevent large particle impurities from scratching filter membranes or causing feed pipeline blockages.
Regular Maintenance & Servicing
Inspect key components such as transmission mechanisms, bearings, valves and pipelines as scheduled, and apply acid-resistant grease. If the equipment is out of service for an extended period, flush residual acid from the interior thoroughly with clean water to prevent corrosion damage during downtime.
Customers Prioritize Stability and Maintenance Costs of Sulfuric Acid Filters
The core demand of industrial production for equipment—continuous operation and low failure rates—dictates that buyers focus more on total cost of ownership (TCO) rather than just the purchase price. The ability of equipment to operate stably over the long term and the convenience and cost-effectiveness of its maintenance directly impact production line efficiency and overall costs.
1. Equipment Reliability
Customers pay close attention to the equipment’s failure-free operation capability, which hinges on two key metrics:First, the mean time between failures (MTBF);Second, the service life of wear parts.
2. Maintenance Convenience
Key considerations include whether wear parts are easy to disassemble, replace and standardize, and whether maintenance can be performed without relying on professional teams. This avoids prolonged downtime caused by complicated maintenance procedures.
3. Failure Rate and After-Sales Service
Buyers also value manufacturers’ established after-sales service teams, failure response time, and the speed of spare parts supply. These factors are critical to preventing production line shutdowns due to equipment malfunctions.
