Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgical pressure leaching, and in particular relates to an oxygen pressure leaching pressure kettle top-entry valve group. Background Art

[0002] In nickel-cobalt pressure leaching, oxygen enrichment technology, replacing air blast, can enhance production and improve productivity. Pressurized oxygen leaching promotes the decomposition and transformation of minerals through the interaction of oxygen and saline solution, thereby achieving the extraction and enrichment of metals. However, oxygen has a strong oxidizing and combustion-supporting effect, and can cause severe explosions when exposed to mixed gases, friction, and static electricity. Therefore, the proper configuration of the oxygen supply piping and valve assembly in the autoclave is crucial.

[0003] The bottom-feed oxygen pipe enters the autoclave compartment from the bottom. This can easily lead to pipe blockage when slurry is poured into the pipe during shutdown, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Once the oxygen pipe is blocked, nitrogen gas must be switched to clear the blockage. In severe cases, the pipe and valves must be dismantled and cleared piece by piece, increasing workload and safety risks while also impacting production efficiency. Therefore, developing a top-feed pipe and valve assembly is crucial. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an oxygen pressure leaching autoclave top-entry valve group, which aims to solve the problem of oxygen pipe blockage, reduce the failure rate of the autoclave, and improve operation efficiency and safety reliability.

[0009] The nitrogen pipe is connected to the nitrogen main pipe of the external network, and is switched by the nitrogen manual valve. It is in the closed state during oxygen production; it is connected to the oxygen dedicated pipe through a tee.

[0010] The connecting pipe connects the oxygen-specific pipe and the nitrogen pipe, and an oxygen pneumatic shut-off valve is installed, which is in a closed state during oxygen production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, an oxygen pressure leaching autoclave top-inlet valve group includes an oxygen pressure leaching autoclave 1, a tee, an oxygen-specific valve, an oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, an oxygen-specific valve, an oxygen flowmeter 6, an oxygen pneumatic shut-off valve 7, a nitrogen manual valve 8, a check valve 9, an oxygen-specific pipe 10, a connecting pipe 11, a nitrogen pipe 12 and an autoclave inlet pipe 13.

[0019] The oxygen pressure leaching kettle 1 is a horizontal titanium-lined kettle or a lead-lined and brick-lined kettle; the oxygen inlet is located on the upper side of the pressure kettle.

[0020] The oxygen pipe 10 is connected to the external oxygen main pipe, enters the autoclave from the top and extends directly below the agitator. An oxygen flow meter 6, a second oxygen valve 5, an oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, a first oxygen valve 3, and a check valve 9 are installed in sequence.

[0021] The nitrogen pipe 12 is connected to the nitrogen main pipe of the external network, is switched by the nitrogen manual valve 8, and is in a closed state during oxygen production; and is connected to the oxygen dedicated pipe 10 through a tee.

[0022] The connecting pipe 11 connects the oxygen dedicated pipe 10 and the nitrogen pipe 12, and is installed with an oxygen pneumatic shut-off valve 7, which is in a closed state during oxygen production.

[0023] The first oxygen dedicated valve 3, the oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, the second oxygen dedicated valve 5, the oxygen flow meter 6, the oxygen pneumatic shut-off valve 7, the nitrogen manual valve 8, and the check valve 9 are all flange-connected, and a jumper wire is used between the two flanges.

[0024] The oxygen pneumatic regulating valve is interlocked with the oxygen flow meter 6, and the valve opening can be adjusted through the DCS system to adjust the oxygen flow.

[0025] When starting production, pre-pressurize and confirm in advance that the first oxygen-specific valve 3, the oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, the second oxygen-specific valve 5, and the oxygen pneumatic shut-off valve 7 are in the closed state; open the nitrogen manual valve 8 and use the nitrogen pressure to pre-pressurize the autoclave to 0.5 MPa.

[0026] Feed oxygen, close the nitrogen manual valve 8, and open the first oxygen-specific valve 3, the oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, and the second oxygen-specific valve 5 in sequence; adjust the required oxygen flow rate through the interlocking relationship between the oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4 and the oxygen flowmeter 6; the first oxygen-specific valve 3 and the second oxygen-specific valve 5 are in the open state, and the opening size is not adjusted.

[0027] When troubleshooting the oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, close the first oxygen-specific valve 3 and the second oxygen-specific valve 5 and replace them; open the oxygen pneumatic shut-off valve 7 to continue production.

[0028] When troubleshooting the autoclave, it is necessary to sequentially shut down the oxygen exchange. When the autoclave pressure is ≤0.1MPa, the second oxygen-only valve 5, the oxygen pneumatic regulating valve 4, and the first oxygen-only valve 3 are sequentially closed, and the nitrogen manual valve 8 is opened to exchange the nitrogen in the autoclave.
