Abstract

The conventional method of removing suspended solids from the soluble oil emulsion coolants used in aluminium rolling mills is by allowing the coolant to settle in large holding tanks and in some cases subsequently straining the coolant through metal gauze or paper media. This treatment removes suspended solids in the size range 5–50 microns, depending on the media employed. Filtration in the region of 5 microns using these methods only provides a very low efficiency filtration.
