Bolian Belt Filter Cloth for Phosphate Production

Filtration Challenges in Phosphoric Acid Production

In the production process of feed-grade phosphate, phosphate rock reacts with sulfuric acid to produce wet-process phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate gypsum. The reaction slurry then enters a belt filter for solid-liquid separation:

Phosphate slurry → Belt Filter → Phosphoric Acid Filtrate + Gypsum Cake


This filtration process involves challenging operating conditions, including:

  • Acidic slurry containing gypsum particles

  • Continuous operation of belt filter equipment

  • Requirements for stable filtration performance and long service life

During long-term operation, filter cloth must provide excellent filtration efficiency while maintaining acid resistance, tensile strength, dimensional stability, and mechanical durability.


Application Value of Belt Filter Cloth in Phosphate Industry

In phosphate production, filter cloth plays a critical role not only in solid-liquid separation but also in maintaining stable and continuous operation of the entire process.

With optimized material selection and advanced manufacturing technology, Bolian belt filter cloth provides the following advantages:

  • Monofilament woven structure delivers excellent anti-blinding performance and maintains high filtration throughput during continuous operation.

  • Excellent cake release performance reduces residual filter cake, improves filtration efficiency, and increases production capacity.

  • The calendering creates well-formed gypsum filter cakes with lower adhesion. During scraper discharge, the cake can be removed smoothly, leaving less gypsum residue on the filter cloth surface. This helps reduce filtration resistance caused by cake buildup and extends filter cloth service life.

  • High strength and dimensional stability ensure reliable performance under continuous belt operation.

  • Excellent tensile and tear resistance allows the filter cloth to withstand long-term tension without damage. Advanced heat-setting technology minimizes thermal shrinkage, preventing elongation, and wrinkling, while reducing equipment adjustment and maintenance.
