The Application of Precision Ceramics in the Chemical Industry

Machines and equipment in chemical and pharmaceutical process engineering are often exposed to high stresses caused by temperature, pressure, corrosion, and wear. In this case, ceramic materials based on oxides and non oxides are often suitable alternatives for designers. Accurately understanding the application conditions is crucial for selecting the right materials in this regard.

The quality control of chemical reactions is a key factor in the efficient production of chemical products. In such processes, the equipment components that come into contact with the separated substances and products typically must meet high requirements for their corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and heat-resistant mechanical properties. In applications with extreme stress, typically only ceramic materials can achieve an acceptable service life to ensure the economic operation of such reactors. Due to its excellent thermal and chemical stability, boron nitride ceramics have traditionally been used as components in high-temperature equipment.

A key advantage of using membrane separation technology for material separation is that it does not require a heat treatment stage, thus enabling an energy-efficient separation system. The membrane made of special ceramic materials has high mechanical elasticity and wear resistance when exposed to solvents and acid and alkali solutions, even at very high concentrations. Ceramic filters are not only proven equipment components in the aforementioned industrial fields, but also used to purify various types of wastewater and recycle recyclable waste in closed-loop processes.

Pumps and accessories used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries typically must meet high requirements for the elasticity of equipment components in contact with the product when exposed to chemicals, temperature, and pressure. In many applications, to save costs, oxide and non oxide ceramic components are used, such as doped zirconia, Al2O3 ZrO2 hybrid ceramics, silicon carbide (SiC), or silicon nitride, which are usually the final ratios. Huamin Ceramics provides high-quality ceramic materials and professional key ceramic components for various chemical applications.
