摘要

A method of forming a filter cake for filtering liquid metal from particles stable within the liquid metal on an inert, liquid metal permeable substrate in the flow path of the liquid metal to be filtered characterised by depositing the particles in the flow path upstream of the substrate to be carried at least partially by the metal flow and dispersed as a pre-wetted and pre-primed filter cake on the substrate.
