Abstract
Ceramic foam filters were used for industrial filtration of aluminum. Results are compared with laboratory experiments which are in good agreement with trajectory analyses of deep bed filtration for the early stage of filtration.
The correlations between structural characteristics of the filter media, filtration parameters and filter efficiency are given. In addition the most important parameters for the industrial use of filters are discussed.
