A filter (20) configured to separate the solid components and the liquid components from a slurry. The filter (20) includes a plurality of filter plate assemblies (46) that cooperate to define a plurality of filter chambers (70), each defining a perimeter (96) having an open section (98) when the filter plates (68) are in a closed position relative to one another. Each filter plate assembly (46) includes a closure (104) configured to close the open section (98). Preferably, the closures (104) are movable to an open position to permit a particulate cake to be removed from the filter chambers (70) without separating the filter plates (68).

A solid/fluid separation module and apparatus enables treatment of solid/fluid mixtures to generate a filtered mass having a solids content above 50%. A filter unit with stacked filter plates and filter passages recessed into a face of each filter plate is provided.

The present invention relates to a method for processing acetic acid solvent in an oxidizing unit of a PTA industrial apparatus; said method uses a pressure filter machine to filter crude terephthalic acid slurry, and then, using a multi-stage counter-current method, uses washing water to wash the acetic acid solvent, and, by means of setting up a bias-current and drainage, prevents residual liquid in the filtrate pipe from entering the next area following the rotation of the pressure filter machine, improving washing efficiency and reducing the amount of washing water; the present invention integrates the processes of filtering and washing crude terephthalic acid into a single pressure filter machine, such that the process is shorter, the occupied floor space is reduced, and energy consumption is lower. A method feeding nitrogen gas into the mother liquor tank and washing liquid tank is used to regulate the pressure balance of the system.
