The invention relates to a
coal tar filtering device and method. The device comprises at least one can-type filter, wherein the can-type filter is internally divided into an after-
filtration residual oil collecting chamber, a filter liquor collecting chamber and a filtering chamber from top to bottom; a
residual oil leading-out tube plate is arranged between the after-
filtration residual oil collecting chamber and the filter liquor collecting chamber; a residual oil leading-out tube is arranged above the residual oil leading-out tube plate, an after-
filtration residual oil
guide tube is arranged in the filter liquor collecting chamber, an upper
filter element fixing plate is arranged between the filter liquor collecting chamber and the filtering chamber, and filter elements and a raw oil
distributor as well as a lower
filter element fixing plate are arranged in the filtering chamber; the lower
filter element fixing plate is connected with the upper filter element fixing plate by a connecting rod, and the upper and lower ends of the filter elements are fixed on the upper filter element fixing plate and the lower filter element fixing plate respectively. According to the invention, the
sump oil quantity can be greatly reduced, the filtering precision of the device is improved, the equipment runs stably, the filtering method is relatively simple, the
coal tar recovery rate is high, environmental
pollution is less, the filtering efficiency is high, and the
coal tar filtering device and method are suitable for industrialized application.
