Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of filtration equipment, and particularly to a metal membrane for a rotary filtration device and a processing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial filtration, membrane separation technology has been widely used due to its high efficiency and energy conservation. Although traditional ceramic membranes have good chemical stability and microporous structures, their inherent brittleness and poor alkali resistance limit their application in strongly corrosive environments. Especially when treating high-concentration alkaline solutions, ceramic membranes are prone to structural damage, resulting in a sharp decline in filtration performance. In addition, the manufacturing cost of ceramic membranes is relatively high, and it is difficult to achieve the processing of complex structures, which further restricts their application scope.

[0003] In contrast, metal membranes have excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to more demanding working conditions. However, the existing metal membrane technology still faces many challenges: firstly, the processing accuracy requirements for the microporous structure of metal membranes are extremely high, and it is difficult for conventional processing methods to achieve uniform and controllable micropore distribution; secondly, the welding and sealing problems of multi-layer metal membrane structures have not been effectively solved, and leakage or insufficient structural strength is likely to occur.

[0004] To address the above problems, it is urgent to develop a new type of metal membrane filter disc, which should have a precise microporous structure, reliable sealing performance, and optimized hydrodynamic design to meet the requirements of modern industry for efficient and durable filtration equipment.
