Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum oxide, and in particular to an intelligent detection and setting system for an aluminum oxide dissolution process. Background Art

[0002] The alumina dissolution process is a key preliminary stage in the production of aluminum products. The main purpose is to extract alumina from bauxite. This process usually involves reacting the ore with a caustic soda solution under high temperature and pressure conditions, so that the alumina dissolves from the ore to form a solution. The dissolved alumina is then separated from the solution through a series of steps such as cooling, precipitation and filtration to obtain a high-purity alumina product. The entire dissolution process is very sensitive to parameters such as temperature, pressure, chemical concentration and reaction time. The optimization of these parameters directly affects the recovery rate of alumina and product quality.

[0003] The production efficiency and quality of alumina depend largely on the accurate control of the dissolution process. Traditional methods rely on empirical operations and periodic laboratory tests, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to achieve real-time optimization of process parameters. Intelligent detection equipment can monitor key parameters in the dissolution process, such as temperature, pressure, and chemical component concentration in real time, and predict and adjust these parameters through data analysis and machine learning models to ensure process stability and product consistency. In addition, the intelligent system can also identify potential problems and improvement points by analyzing historical data, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing energy and raw material consumption.

[0004] Currently, the monitoring of alumina dissolution process mostly relies on traditional sensors. These systems can provide basic process monitoring, but lack high automation and optimization capabilities. The main drawbacks of this traditional method are slow response time, inability to dynamically optimize based on real-time data, and poor adaptability to environmental changes and non-standard operating conditions.

[0005] The prior art still has certain defects in the intelligent detection setting of the alumina dissolution process. For example, the Chinese patent with application number CN202110679077.6 proposes an automatic control method for the alumina dissolution process. The method is based on the set value of the pre-established knowledge base of the alumina dissolution process, collects process and test data, and dynamically adjusts the set value through data backtracking and feedforward compensation. This method mainly uses historical and real-time data to optimize the setting of the alkali addition flow rate, thereby improving the dissolution efficiency and the qualified rate of the caustic ratio; however, this method adopts a rule-based control strategy, which may lack good flexibility and adaptability when dealing with complex or nonlinear changes. For example, the Chinese patent with application number 202011633801.3 proposes a heat balance control system and method for alumina dissolution. First, the temperature data of the last-stage casing heater is collected through a data acquisition unit, and then the multiple sets of production parameters stored in the knowledge base are used to analyze and fuzzy reason these data through the intelligent processing module to determine the new steam adjustment input set value of each stage casing heater. The operating system automatically adjusts the regulating valve on the steam branch according to these set values, and accurately controls the temperature of the heater in real time to optimize the heat balance and improve the dissolution rate and product quality of alumina. However, this method mainly relies on temperature control and steam regulation, and does not make full use of other relevant data, including chemical composition and pressure, which limits the depth and scope of optimization. At present, the existing technology needs to improve the integrity of data monitoring and the accuracy of parameter setting in the alumina dissolution process.

[0006] Therefore, an intelligent detection and setting system for alumina dissolution process is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0077] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0078] The dissolution process of alumina is as follows: bauxite is crushed in a ball mill, and then the alumina in the ore is dissolved in an alkaline solution of a certain concentration in a hydrothermal reactor; specifically, the crushed ore and the alkaline solution are added to a nickel-lined tank in a certain proportion, the reactor is heated to a preset temperature, and then dissolved after a period of insulation. When the dissolution time is reached, the reactor is opened and the nickel-lined tank is taken out when the temperature is quickly cooled to a certain temperature with water.

[0079] In the process of alumina dissolution, the following parameters should be considered: particle size of raw material particles, alumina content and impurity content (including iron, silicate, calcium and magnesium), concentration and addition amount of alkaline solution, reaction temperature and pressure, dissolution time and mass concentration of alumina and sodium carbonate in the dissolution solution. These parameters directly affect the efficiency of the dissolution reaction and the quality of the final product, and must be accurately monitored and dynamically adjusted to optimize the entire production process.

[0080] In the present invention, the dissolution process of aluminum oxide is divided into three modules, namely, a crushing working module, a fusion working module and a temperature control working module; further, the present invention proposes three parameter groups, which respectively include important parameters in these three working modules.

[0081] There are many studies on intelligent detection and setting of aluminum oxide dissolution process in the prior art, but there are some defects. In order to solve the defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent detection and setting system for aluminum oxide dissolution process. The specific implementation method flow chart and system structure diagram of the system are shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0082] Embodiment 1

[0083] This example analyzes the dissolution process of the aluminum oxide sample.

[0084] The process flow chart of the intelligent detection and setting system for aluminum oxide dissolution process proposed in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 .

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment stores acquired real-time data, historical data and prediction models through a data storage unit; wherein the real-time data includes a first data set, a second data set and a third data set; the first data set includes target particle size, raw material hardness, raw material weight, ball milling size, ball milling quantity and raw material initial particle size grade; the second data set includes alumina content, a first impurity content, a second impurity content, a third impurity content and a fourth impurity content in raw material particles, as well as raw material particle size and alumina target purity; the third data set includes raw material particle size, raw material hardness, raw material weight, alumina mass concentration in the dissolution solution, sodium carbonate mass concentration in the dissolution solution, target mass concentration of the dissolution solution and carbon-alkali ratio of the dissolution solution; the parameter prediction model includes a first parameter prediction model, a second parameter prediction model and a third parameter prediction model; the parameter prediction model is trained by historical data, and the real-time data is analyzed by the trained parameter prediction model to obtain the corresponding prediction result; wherein the first parameter prediction model is used to analyze the first data set to obtain a first prediction result; the second parameter prediction model is used to analyze the second data set to obtain a second prediction result; the third parameter prediction model is used to analyze the third data set to obtain a third prediction result.

[0086] The parameter setting unit sets relevant parameters in a specific working module through the first prediction result, the second prediction result and the third prediction result obtained by the three parameter prediction models;

[0087] Specifically, first, the raw material bauxite is put into the crushing equipment, and the first data set obtained is analyzed by the first parameter prediction model to obtain a first prediction result. The parameter setting unit sets the crushing equipment speed and time in the crushing working module according to the first prediction result to obtain the crushed raw material; further, the crushed raw material is put into the reactor, and the second data set obtained is analyzed by the second parameter prediction model to obtain a second prediction result. The parameter setting unit sets the amount and concentration of the alkaline solution in the fusion working module according to the second prediction result; finally, the crushed raw material fused with the alkaline solution enters the heating equipment, and the third data set obtained is analyzed by the third parameter prediction model to obtain a third prediction result. The parameter setting unit sets the heating rate, target temperature and insulation time in the temperature control working module according to the third prediction result to obtain the dissolved material.

[0088] The system proposed in this embodiment will be described in detail below in conjunction with a specific implementation method flow chart and a system structure diagram.

[0089] Reference Figure 1 S10 in which S10 is applied to a data acquisition unit of an intelligent detection setting system for an alumina dissolution process, and is used to acquire real-time data from a production line, including a first data set of a crushing working module, a second data set of a fusion working module, and a third data set of a temperature control working module;

[0090] Furthermore, the first data set includes target particle size, raw material hardness, raw material weight, ball milling size, ball milling number and raw material initial particle size grade.

[0091] In this embodiment, the raw material is mined bauxite.

[0092] When setting the parameters of the crushing equipment for crushing bauxite, the target particle size determines the particle size standard that the crushing equipment needs to achieve, which directly affects the rate and completeness of the subsequent chemical reaction. The appropriate particle size can increase the reaction surface area, speed up the reaction speed, and improve the extraction efficiency of alumina. Raw materials with high hardness require more energy to crush to the target particle size, which affects the wear and energy consumption of the crushing equipment. Reasonable adjustment of crushing parameters to adapt to raw materials of different hardness can optimize energy consumption and extend equipment life. The weight of raw materials is directly related to the amount of material processed in each batch, which affects the load and operating efficiency of the crusher. Accurately control the input amount of raw materials to ensure that the equipment operates at the optimal load and avoid overload or inefficiency. Understanding the initial particle size grade distribution of raw materials helps to adjust the settings of the crushing equipment to adapt to raw materials of different particle sizes. This can ensure a more uniform crushing effect, reduce over-crushing or insufficient crushing, and further optimize energy consumption and processing efficiency;

[0093] The size of the ball mill and the number of balls are key factors in determining the parameters of the crushing equipment. Specifically, a larger ball mill or a larger number of balls can increase the contact area of ​​the grinding media, thereby improving the crushing efficiency and speeding up the crushing of materials, but the crushing equipment may need to start at a higher speed.

[0094] By accurately monitoring the target particle size, raw material hardness, raw material weight, ball mill size, ball mill number and raw material initial particle size grade, the present invention can adjust the operating parameters of the crushing equipment, including crushing speed and time. These parameters directly affect the processing quality and efficiency of the raw materials, so selecting these data for analysis can ensure that the raw materials are finely processed according to the predetermined standards, maximize the crushing efficiency and particle size uniformity, thereby optimizing the downstream chemical reaction conditions and improving the extraction rate of alumina, achieving maximum cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability of the production process.

[0095] Furthermore, the process of obtaining the initial particle size grade of the raw material includes:

[0096] The particle size of the raw materials is measured using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer to obtain a particle size set;

[0097] Set a particle size threshold; when the particle size exceeds or is equal to the particle size threshold, it is marked as a large particle size;

[0098] When the particle size is smaller than the particle size threshold, it is marked as a small particle size;

[0099] The Malvern Panalytical software is used to calculate the proportion of the large particle size and the small particle size in the particle size set, respectively, to obtain the initial particle size grade of the raw material; the determination formula of the initial particle size grade of the raw material is:

[0100] ;

[0101] in, is the initial particle size grade of the raw material, is the large particle size, is the particle size collection;

[0102] According to the national standard particle size requirements for bauxite ore, in this embodiment, the particle size threshold for distinguishing large particle size from small particle size is set to 100 mm;

[0103] In this embodiment, the final calculation result of the Malvern Panalytical software is: the large particle size accounts for 62.74% of the particle size set, and the small particle size accounts for 37.26% of the particle size set; so in this embodiment, the initial particle size grade of the raw material is 3;

[0104] Furthermore, the target particle size is preset; and the process of obtaining the target particle size includes:

[0105] Collect production data for each batch during production operation;

[0106] The production data include the particle size of the alumina particles entering the nickel-lined tank, the hardness of the raw materials, the concentration of the alkaline solution, the amount of the alkaline solution and the alumina content of the dissolved matter in the nickel-lined tank;

[0107] Processing the production data: merging the production data whose values ​​of the raw material hardness, the alkali solution concentration and the alkali solution amount differ by no more than 10% to form a production data group;

[0108] Using regression analysis method to analyze the relationship between the particle size of the alumina particles in the production data set and the alumina content of the dissolved material in the nickel-lined tank, and determine the target particle size;

[0109] Establish a mechanism for continuously obtaining the target particle size and regularly review the setting of the target particle size;

[0110] Taking the concentration of alkaline solution as an example, in this embodiment, the determination method for determining whether the concentration of alkaline solution in two pieces of production data does not exceed 10% is:

[0111] beg ,in is the concentration of the alkaline solution in a piece of production data, is the concentration of the alkaline solution in another production data, and , is the ratio of the alkaline solution concentration of the two production data. When the concentration of the alkaline solution in the two production data does not exceed 10%;

[0112] In this embodiment, some production data of alumina sample 1 is shown in Table 1:

[0115] According to the partial production data shown in Table 1, the production group data obtained is shown in Table 2:

[0116] Table 2 Production group data table

[0117]

[0118] As shown in Table 1, in the data with serial numbers 2 and 6, the hardness of the raw materials differs by 9.33%, the amount of the alkaline solution differs by 3.74%, and the alumina content of the dissolved substances in the nickel-lined tank differs by 5.71%, which is consistent with the fact that the three values ​​of the hardness of the raw materials, the concentration of the alkaline solution and the amount of the alkaline solution do not differ by more than 10%. Therefore, the production data with serial numbers 2 and 6 are combined into one data group, namely, the data group with serial number 1 in Table 2;

[0119] In this embodiment, the particle size of the alumina particles in the production data set is analyzed using a regression analysis method. Alumina content of dissolved substances in nickel-lined tanks The relationship between them is as follows:

[0120] ;

[0121] in, is the intercept term, is the regression coefficient, is the error term;

[0122] Calculate the target particle size by regression equation The formula is:

[0123] ;

[0124] in, Obtained by analyzing the production data set;

[0125] Furthermore, the weight of the raw material is obtained by a weighing device; the hardness of the raw material is obtained by an ultrasonic hardness tester; and the ball mill size and the ball mill quantity are preset values.

[0126] In the ball mill used in this embodiment, the number of balls is 93 and the size is 25 mm.

[0127] Through fine raw material particle size classification, this system divides the comprehensive particle size of raw materials into three levels, so as to achieve precise adjustment of crushing equipment parameters. For raw materials with particle size grade 3, it indicates that it contains more large-size particles, and the operating intensity of the crushing equipment may need to be increased; while for raw materials with particle size grade 1, since it contains more small-size particles, the operating parameters of the crushing equipment may be relatively reduced. In addition, the target particle size determined by historical data analysis helps to optimize the dissolution process of raw materials, while the weight and hardness of raw materials and the size and number of ball mills in the crushing equipment directly affect the parameter setting of the crushing equipment, making the entire processing process more efficient and precise. This method not only improves processing efficiency, but also ensures processing quality, which meets the production needs of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0128] Furthermore, the second data set includes the aluminum oxide content, the first impurity content, the second impurity content, the third impurity content and the fourth impurity content in the raw material particles, as well as the particle size of the raw material particles and the target purity of aluminum oxide.

[0129] In the fusion work module, the alumina content in the raw materials is a key factor affecting the dissolution efficiency because it determines how much alumina can be extracted from the raw materials. A higher alumina content indicates a greater potential yield, which requires adjusting the dissolution conditions to optimize the dissolution process. At the same time, impurities in the raw materials may react with the added alkaline solution to form complexes or produce scaling, so understanding the various impurity contents is crucial to adjusting the chemical reaction conditions to maximize the efficiency of alumina extraction, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the consumption of chemical reagents. In addition, the particle size of the raw materials directly affects the dissolution rate and efficiency. Although smaller particle sizes help accelerate chemical reactions due to their larger surface area to volume ratio, they may also cause incomplete dissolution or subsequent filtration difficulties. Therefore, particle size control is a factor that must be considered in the dissolution process. Finally, setting the target purity of alumina is key to ensuring product quality and meeting the needs of specific downstream applications. By real-time monitoring and adjusting production parameters, the final product can be ensured to meet quality standards, thereby avoiding additional reprocessing costs. This comprehensive consideration strategy not only improves production efficiency, but also optimizes resource utilization, ensuring the economy and environmental friendliness of the process.

[0130] Furthermore, the acquisition of the particle size of the raw material particles includes: using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer to measure the particle size of the raw material particles to obtain a particle size set; calculating the average value of the particle size in the particle size set as the particle size of the raw material particles; the target purity of alumina is a value preset according to production requirements;

[0131] The aluminum oxide content, the first impurity content, the second impurity content, the third impurity content and the fourth impurity content in the raw material particles are obtained by atomic absorption spectrometer; the first impurity is iron, the second impurity is silicate, the third impurity is calcium, and the fourth impurity is magnesium.

[0132] In this embodiment, the average value of the particle size of the raw material is obtained by using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer, which helps to adjust the dissolution process and ensure a more uniform chemical reaction rate, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of aluminum oxide. At the same time, the impurity content of iron, silicate, calcium, magnesium, etc. accurately measured by an atomic absorption spectrometer allows the chemical dosage in the dissolution process to be adjusted more accurately, reducing unnecessary consumption and possible environmental pollution in the chemical reaction; in the dissolution process of aluminum oxide, the impurities present include iron, silicate, calcium and magnesium, which will react differently with the alkaline solution, thereby affecting the efficiency and cost of the entire process; iron and silicate may form precipitation, resulting in equipment blockage and reduced extraction efficiency; precipitation generated by calcium and magnesium consumes too much alkali, reduces the alkali efficiency of the system, and increases additional processing costs; correct management of the content of these impurities is the key to optimizing the production process, reducing costs and improving the extraction efficiency of aluminum oxide. In addition, the set target purity of aluminum oxide is preset according to production requirements, ensuring that the product quality meets the strict requirements of downstream processing, and effectively avoiding quality problems and cost increases in subsequent processing. These measures not only optimize the production process as a whole, but also bring the dual advantages of economic benefits and environmental sustainability to enterprises.

[0133] Furthermore, the third data set includes raw material particle size, raw material hardness, raw material weight, aluminum oxide mass concentration in the dissolution solution, sodium carbonate mass concentration in the dissolution solution, target mass concentration of the dissolution solution, and carbon-alkali ratio of the dissolution solution.

[0134] The particle size, hardness and weight of the raw materials directly affect the reaction rate and heat conduction efficiency of the raw materials during the heating process, thereby affecting the required heating rate and the target temperature achieved. At the same time, the chemical composition of the dissolution solution, especially the mass concentration of alumina and the concentration of sodium carbonate, determines the length of time to maintain the target temperature to ensure the completeness of the reaction. The target mass concentration of the dissolution solution sets the final state that the dissolution reaction should reach, affecting the setting of the heating rate and the holding time to ensure the maximum dissolution efficiency. This fine parameter control not only ensures the efficiency of the process, but also effectively saves energy, optimizes the reaction conditions, and ensures the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the alumina extraction process.

[0135] Furthermore, the mass concentration of aluminum oxide in the dissolution solution is obtained by monitoring the absorbance of aluminum oxide in the solution by a near-infrared spectrometer; the mass concentration of sodium carbonate in the dissolution solution is obtained by a near-infrared spectrometer; the target mass concentration of the dissolution solution is a value preset according to production requirements; the carbon-alkali ratio of the dissolution solution is the ratio of sodium carbonate to sodium hydroxide in the dissolution solution, which is obtained by an online ion chromatograph.

[0136] By accurately monitoring the mass concentration of alumina and sodium carbonate in the dissolution solution, the system can better control the heating rate, target temperature and holding time. These parameters directly affect the thermodynamic and kinetic conditions of the dissolution process, thereby affecting the dissolution efficiency and energy consumption of alumina. Setting the target mass concentration of the dissolution solution and optimizing the carbon-alkali ratio help to develop a more effective heating strategy, ensuring that while achieving the ideal dissolution rate and final product quality, energy consumption can be minimized and the economy of the process can be improved. In this way, energy consumption can be finely controlled while maintaining reaction efficiency, optimizing energy management in the production process and ensuring environmental sustainability.
