The utility model discloses a two-stage thickening kettle which comprises a salt collecting hopper with a salt
discharge port at the bottom, the top of the salt collecting hopper is connected with a
barrel, an overflow flow guide weir is arranged at the top of the
barrel, an overflow liquid
discharge port is formed in the side direction of the overflow flow guide weir, a top cover is arranged above the overflow flow guide weir, and the salt collecting hopper, the
barrel and the top cover are all hermetically connected to form a
closed cavity; the two-stage thickening kettle further comprises a
cyclone separator connected with the
closed cavity in a sealed mode, a feeding port and a
clear liquid outlet of the
cyclone separator are both located outside the barrel, a heavy liquid outlet of the
cyclone separator is located in the middle of the barrel, and the
clear liquid outlet is provided with a valve. Through the
coupling design of the cyclone separator and the
closed cavity, the synergistic effect of first-stage hydraulic cyclone coarse separation and second-stage gravity
settling fine separation is achieved. When the feed liquid treatment capacity is large and the feed concentration is low, the cyclone separator can pre-concentrate the low-concentration feed and
discharge the
clear liquid out of the
system in advance, so that the subsequent treatment load is reduced.
