Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of filtration, in particular to a filtering and purifying system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal tar pitch, catalytic slurry oil and ore slurry are important in industrial applications as high solid content viscous liquids. For example, clean slurry oil obtained by filtering the catalytic slurry oil to remove catalyst powder can be used for high value-added products such as carbon black or rubber filler, needle coke, carbon fiber, etc. Not only can it improve the utilization rate of resources, but also reduce the pollution to the environment. However, the flow properties of high solid content viscous liquids are greatly affected by the solid content, and the viscosity increases with the increase of solid particle content. The presence of solid particles increases the internal friction of the fluid, thereby affecting its rheological properties, which brings not small challenges to production and application. When dealing with high solid content viscous liquids, the selection of filtration technology needs to consider many factors, including the degree of medium blockage, viscosity, corrosion resistance and heat resistance, etc. High viscosity liquids often exhibit pseudoplastic behavior, i.e. the apparent viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. At room temperature, the viscosity of the body fluid is very large, the filtration separation resistance is large, and the efficiency is low, and usually the liquid needs to be heated to reduce the viscosity. Patent CN114870463A discloses a filter suitable for high viscosity medium and a filtering method thereof, and a back flushing component is arranged in the filter to automatically clean the filter and improve the service life of the filter. However, the filter does not install a heater, and when high viscosity liquid enters the filter, it cannot guarantee that the liquid is at a suitable filtration temperature, thereby affecting the filtration efficiency.

[0003] To ensure the stability and continuity of the filtration effect, the filter element will be back-flushed after a period of filtration to empty the solid particles intercepted in the filter. Patent CN213823686U discloses an ultra-high pressure high viscosity filter, which improves the filtration efficiency of high solid content viscous liquid through a series of structural design and use, but the filter lacks a back-flushing component, and the equipment cannot maintain long-term operation. The prior art has poor backwashing effect or high operation cost and complicated process during backwashing, which affects the production efficiency. SUMMARY
