压滤机是一种用于固液分离的机械设备，通过施加压力将液体通过过滤介质，留下固体颗粒。其工作原理是通过压缩滤板，将液体通过滤布或滤 网进行过滤，从而分离出其中的固体和液体。其核心功能是将悬浮液中的固体颗粒截留在过滤介质表面形成滤饼，同时使液体（滤液）透过滤介 质排出，从而达到物料脱水、浓缩或净化的目的。 压滤机行业发展市场规模概况 十四五期间，2021年全球压滤机市场规模为21.03亿美元，根据本公司最新调研显示，2025年全球压滤机市场规模为27.89亿美元，2021-2025这五 年期间年复合增长率CAGR为2.67%。 十五五之后，预计到2031年全球规模将达到3.81百万美元，2025至2031期间年复合增长率为5.34%。 压滤机主要用于固液分离，通过将液体与固体分开，广泛应用于污水处理、矿业、化工、制药、食品、冶金等多个行业。随着环保政策的日益严 格以及工业化和城镇化进程的推进，以及国家政策的支持，对压滤机行业的发展起到很大的推动作用，未来6年，全球压滤机市场将保持增长态 势。 2024年，中国压滤机市场收入达到了11.77亿美元，预计2031年将达到17.83万美元，年复合增长率（CAGR）为6.5 ...

1. RWA与智能合约的关系 RWA（Real World Assets，现实世界资产）与智能合约和代币之间的关系可以从技术实现、功能作用和实际应用三个层面来分析。这三者的结合是RWA落地 的重要基础，也是实现其价值的关键。 智能合约在RWA的实现过程中扮演了核心角色，主要体现在以下几个方面： (1) 资产数字化与代币化的核心技术 · 智能合约是区块链上的自动化程序，能够按照预设规则自动执行操作。通过智能合约，现实世界资产可以被映射到区块链上，并生成对应的数字资产（代 币）。 · 例如，将房地产、应收账款等资产的所有权或收益权通过智能合约进行数字化处理，并根据规则生成标准化代币。 (2) 自动化管理与操作 · 智能合约可以实现对RWA的自动化管理，包括交易、收益分配、清算等操作。 · 举例： 如果某RWA代币代表一个租赁物业，智能合约可以自动收取租金，并将收益分配给代币持有者。 在供应链金融中，智能合约可以自动追踪应收账款的支付状态，并确保资产的真实性。 (3) 透明性与信任 · 智能合约的规则和执行过程是透明且不可篡改的，这在RWA中尤为重要，因为它能够解决传统金融中资产管理和交易中的信任问题。 · 例如， ...
