The Critical Separation Stage in Metallurgical Processing

Hydrometallurgy centers on separating metal from impurities, slag, and wastewater. Both leach slurries and crystallization slurries demand efficient separation. Centrifuges handle leachate–slag separation, crystal–mother-liquor separation, extraction-stage de-impurity, and wastewater pretreatment — directly driving metal recovery and purity.

Why Separation
Performance Matters？

In metallurgical production, the centrifuge does more than just separate solids from liquids — its performance further affects metal recovery rate, product purity, hazardous waste disposal cost, equipment lifespan, and wastewater treatment load.

High Moisture

Wet residue raises downstream disposal or resource-recovery cost.

Fine Slag Loss

Fine slag lost with salt liquor reduces solids recovery and contaminates the salt solution.

Chloride Corrosion

High chloride causes pitting corrosion — shortening equipment life.

AlN Hydrolysis

AlN hydrolyzes in water, releasing ammonia — oxygen monitoring or nitrogen purge needed.

One Process. Two Separation Solutions.

LWLZ

Sedimentation Thickening

Screen Filtration

Suitable for: lithium carbonate, rare-earth salts, low-concentration suspensions.

LWL Horizontal Screen Scroll Centrifuge

Continuous separation, dewatering and washing for metal salt crystallization.

Corrosion-resistant Materials

Main parts—bowl, screw, etc. can be made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or titanium alloy.

Filtration Screen

Dedicated filtration screen, 0.5mm thick—longer service life.

Adjustable Differential

Bowl speed is steplessly adjustable; screw differential speed adjustable in steps or steplessly.

Circulating Lubrication

Simple, reliable circulating lubrication — with pressure regulation, oil filtration, and water cooling.

Safety Protection

Speed, over-vibration, motor overload / overheat, and zero-differential protection.

LWL Series

LWLZ Horizontal Screen Decanter Centrifuge

Two-stage sedimentation + filtration in one unit — built for fluctuating, low-solids metallurgical feeds.

Gravity Discharge

Gravity discharge — minimal crystal breakage.

Deliquoring

Longer residence and deliquoring time — lower discharge moisture.

Fine Particles

Suited to fine-particle ammonium sulfate slurry.

Bowl Cone Angle

Bowl cone angle optimized at 25° for gravity-slide discharge.

Screen Slotting

Optimized screen slots improve fine-crystal retention.
