[0020] As Figures 1-5 The application provides an acid leaching equipment, in particular a continuous quartz sand acid leaching equipment, which comprises a pre-polishing part 1, an acid leaching assembly 2 and a material transferring mechanism 3. The pre-polishing part 1 comprises a transverse polishing cylinder 4 and extrusion polishing rods 5 in the transverse polishing cylinder 4, the surface of the extrusion polishing rod 5 is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed protrusions, which are used to contact the quartz sand in the transverse polishing cylinder 4 and polish the surface of the quartz sand, and a plurality of uniformly distributed conveying fins 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transverse polishing cylinder 4, so as to further increase the polishing intensity of the quartz sand, the conveying fins 6 are driven to move and convey the quartz sand in the transverse polishing cylinder 4 along with the rotation of the transverse polishing cylinder 4, the quartz sand in the transverse polishing cylinder 4 is stirred by the conveying fins 6, the extrusion polishing rod 5 is close to the bottom of the transverse polishing cylinder 4, the quartz sand falls from the top of the transverse polishing cylinder 4 downward along with the rotation of the inner wall of the transverse polishing cylinder 4, and then is pushed into the extrusion polishing area 7 formed between the bottom of the extrusion polishing rod 5 and the conveying fins 6, so as to increase the contact stress between the quartz sand and the extrusion polishing rod 5, and due to the extrusion, the accumulated quartz sand is dislocated and rubbed against each other after extrusion, so that the clay minerals and other impurities attached to the surface of the quartz sand are removed.
[0021] The pre-grinding section 1 also includes a first mounting bracket 11. The two ends of the horizontal grinding cylinder 4 are rotatably connected to the two inner ends of the first mounting bracket 11. A driven gear ring 22 is sleeved on the outside of the horizontal grinding cylinder 4, with the teeth of the driven gear ring 22 facing outwards. The driven gear ring 22 is driven by a drive assembly provided on the first mounting bracket 11. The drive assembly may include a drive motor and a drive gear. The drive gear is installed at the output end of the drive motor. Then, the drive gear meshes with the driven gear ring 22, driving the horizontal grinding cylinder. 4. To increase the efficiency of grinding the quartz sand inside the horizontal grinding cylinder 4, a hydrochloric acid drip irrigation pipe 17 is installed inside the horizontal grinding cylinder 4. Several evenly distributed acid outlet holes are opened at the bottom of the hydrochloric acid drip irrigation pipe 17. After the hydrochloric acid is added to the inside of the horizontal grinding cylinder 4, it performs preliminary acid washing and grinding on the quartz sand inside the horizontal grinding cylinder 4, so that they are carried out simultaneously. In order to reduce the corrosion of the pre-grinding part 1 and the acid immersion assembly 2 by hydrochloric acid, both the pre-grinding part 1 and the acid immersion assembly 2 are made of acid corrosion resistant materials.
[0022] An installation rod 13 is fixedly connected to both ends of the extrusion grinding rod 5. The other end of the installation rod 13 is connected to the inner ends of the first mounting frame 11. The installation rod 13 can be removed from the first mounting frame 11 to replace or repair the entire extrusion grinding rod 5. The radius of the installation rod 13 is smaller than that of the extrusion grinding rod 5. A material discharge area 14 is formed between the bottom of the installation rod 13 and the horizontal grinding cylinder 4, which can facilitate the feeding and discharging of materials into the inner ends of the pre-grinding section 1, reducing the accumulation of quartz sand in the inner ends of the horizontal grinding cylinder 4. A feed pipe 15 and a discharge pipe 16 are respectively provided at the outer ends of the first mounting frame 11.
[0023] Quartz sand discharged from the pre-grinding section 1 is processed and enters the interior of the acid leaching assembly 2. The acid leaching assembly 2 includes a horizontally placed stirring drum 8. Several uniformly distributed stirring and conveying fins 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the horizontally placed stirring drum 8. The space between the stirring and conveying fins 9, in conjunction with the inner wall of the horizontally placed stirring drum 8, forms an acid leaching channel 10. The acid leaching channel 10 is used to contain quartz sand and hydrochloric acid and mix the two. The horizontally placed stirring drum 8 heats the quartz sand and hydrochloric acid mixed inside to remove surface impurities through a heating device, heating it to 100~120℃. The layer material in contact with the horizontally placed stirring drum 8, the stirring and conveying fins 9, the quartz sand, and the hydrochloric acid can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is resistant to strong acids and can be used at temperatures up to 120℃. After heating to 100~120℃, the quartz sand lattice system can be completely open. During the acid leaching process, the hydrochloric acid penetrates into the interior of the quartz lattice system, dissolving the internal impurity phases and improving the purity of the acid-leached quartz sand.
[0024] And only using hydrochloric acid as pickling material, almost can react with all the impurities except SiO2, while also ensure the quartz sand crystal not to be damaged. When the inside of the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 is heated to 100~120℃, at this time the quartz sand in the reactor is fluffy, its lattice system will produce expansion, the quartz sand will produce cracks, and the HCl in the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 is affected by high temperature from liquid to gaseous state, gaseous HCl into the quartz sand lattice inside the cycle, with the impurities trace elements Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Na, Cr, Mn, Ti, etc. in quartz sand, and can remove a large number of impurity elements contained in the solid quartz sand inclusion. By using the change of the thermal expansion coefficient, the impurities in the quartz sand can be fully exposed, and the HCl gas can fully immerse into the quartz lattice system to react with harmful elements, so as to achieve the purpose of purifying quartz sand. And using hydrochloric acid as pickling material, after reaction with impurity elements in quartz sand, almost all generate metal chloride salt, then using pure water to clean the pickled quartz sand, which can be dissolved in aqueous solution and discharged in the form of waste water, which is easier to neutralize and reduce environmental pollution.
[0025] The material transfer mechanism 3 is arranged between the pre-polishing part 1 and the acid leaching assembly 2, which can remove impurities and other treatments for the quartz sand polished by the pre-polishing part 1, and then transfer the treated quartz sand to the inside of the horizontal stirring cylinder 8. The quartz sand discharged from the horizontal polishing cylinder 4 needs to be screened during the transfer process of the material transfer mechanism 3. In addition to screening the particle size of the quartz sand, the screening also needs to be performed on whether the impurities on the surface of the quartz sand are completely removed. Only the quartz sand with qualified surface impurities can be transferred to the inside of the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 through the material transfer mechanism 3 to form a continuous acid leaching operation.
[0026] The second mounting bracket 12 is arranged outside the horizontal stirring cylinder 8, and the two ends of the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 are rotatably connected to the two ends inside the second mounting bracket 12. The driven gear ring 22 outside the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 is driven by the driving assembly on the second mounting bracket 12 to drive the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 to rotate. The two ends outside the second mounting bracket 12 are also provided with the feeding pipe 15 and the discharging pipe 16, and the feeding pipe 15 on the second mounting bracket 12 is close to the material transfer mechanism 3. The waste acid treatment part 18 is arranged outside the horizontal polishing cylinder 4, and the material transfer mechanism 3 and the waste acid treatment part 18 are connected through the first reflux pipe 19. The horizontal stirring cylinder 8 and the waste acid treatment part 18 are connected through the second reflux pipe 20, and the waste acid treatment part 18 and the hydrochloric acid drip irrigation pipeline 17 are connected through the third reflux pipe 21. The residual hydrochloric acid in the horizontal stirring cylinder 8 and the quartz sand, and the residual hydrochloric acid in the horizontal polishing cylinder which is not reacted completely, can be transported to the inside of the hydrochloric acid drip irrigation pipeline after being treated by the waste acid treatment part 18, so as to fully use the hydrochloric acid.
[0027] In summary, the continuous quartz sand acid leaching equipment has the following advantages: By extruding the grinding rod 5 and the conveying fin 6 in the transverse polishing cylinder 4, an extrusion polishing area 7 is formed at the bottom of the extrusion grinding rod 5. Through the rotation of the transverse polishing cylinder 4 and the pushing of the conveying fin 6, the quartz sand is accumulated in the extrusion polishing area 7, and the extrusion polishing and self-grinding between the quartz sand are carried out to remove the impurities such as clay minerals attached to the surface of the quartz sand. The acid washing solution can complete the purification work by means of hydrochloric acid and heating, and it is easier to carry out water washing and deacidification work. After reacting with the impurity elements in the quartz sand, almost all of them form metal chlorides, and then the acid-washed quartz sand is cleaned with pure water, which can be dissolved in aqueous solution and discharged in the form of wastewater, which is easier to neutralize and reduce environmental pollution.
