Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of titanium sponge production, and particularly relates to a pressure relief system for automatic dredging and dust collection in titanium sponge production. Background Art

[0002] During the reduction process of the reactor for producing titanium sponge, it is under a slightly positive pressure protected by argon. When the pressure in the reactor is too high during the reduction process, the reactor needs to be depressurized. There are two reasons for the pressure increase: 1. The pressure of the reactor increases with the production of titanium tetrachloride; 2. When discharging magnesium chloride in the upper row, argon needs to be filled to discharge magnesium chloride. The depressurized flue gas will be mixed with dust of low-valent chlorides that have not fully reacted.

[0003] Currently, some titanium sponge production manufacturers connect the depressurized soot through the discharge pipeline and lead it outside the workshop for treatment. In this way, there is a relatively serious problem of pipeline blockage. When cleaning the pipeline blockage, the influx of air may cause flash explosion of low-valent chlorides, which is somewhat dangerous to the cleaning personnel, pipelines, and equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a pressure relief system for automatic dredging and dust collection in titanium sponge production.

[0005] The solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A pressure relief system for automatic dredging and dust collection in titanium sponge production,

[0007] The exhaust port of the automatic pressure relief valve for the titanium sponge production reactor is communicated with the air inlet channel of the negative pressure dust collection box through a pressure relief pipeline. A horizontal cleaning rod is arranged in the pressure relief pipeline on one side corresponding to the exhaust port of the automatic pressure relief valve. A strip-shaped hole is arranged on one side of the pressure relief pipeline parallel to the horizontal cleaning rod. The horizontal cleaning rod is connected with the moving part of a cylinder through a connecting piece. The cylinder is fixed on the outer wall surface of the pressure relief pipeline downstream of the strip-shaped hole. A plurality of communicating cavities are formed in the negative pressure dust collection box through a plurality of partition plates. A plurality of cleaning ports are arranged at the top and bottom of the negative pressure dust collection box, and the cleaning ports are closed by rubber plugs.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the cylinder is located on the outer wall surface of the pressure relief pipeline downstream of the strip-shaped hole. One end of the connecting piece extends into the pressure relief pipeline from the strip-shaped hole and is connected with the horizontal cleaning rod, and the other end of the connecting piece is connected with the moving part of the cylinder.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the automatic pressure relief valve is interlocked with the reactor.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the automatic pressure relief valve and the horizontal cleaning rod have an interlock.

[0011] The present invention also discloses a method for using a pressure relief system for automatic dredging and dust collection in titanium sponge production, including the following steps:

[0012] Pressure relief is controlled by an automatic pressure relief valve, which is interlocked with the pressure in the reactor. When the reactor pressure reaches 15 - 25 kPa, the pressure relief procedure is started, and when the pressure is lower than 1 - 10 kPa after pressure relief, it automatically closes;

[0013] The outlet of the automatic pressure relief valve corresponds to a horizontal cleaning rod, which dredges the pressure relief pipeline during pressure relief. The horizontal cleaning rod is controlled by a cylinder to perform dredging actions intermittently;

[0014] The pressure relief flue gas is sucked into the negative pressure dust collection box by negative pressure through the pressure relief pipeline and collides with the partition in the negative pressure dust collection box to decelerate and fall.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the horizontal cleaning rod acts once every 3 - 15 seconds.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, a pressure relief system for automatic dredging and dust collection in titanium sponge production, the exhaust port of the automatic pressure relief valve for the titanium sponge production reactor is communicated with the air inlet channel of the negative pressure dust collection box through the pressure relief pipeline. A horizontal cleaning rod is arranged in the pressure relief pipeline on one side corresponding to the exhaust port of the automatic pressure relief valve. There are strip-shaped holes on one side of the pressure relief pipeline parallel to the horizontal cleaning rod. The horizontal cleaning rod is connected to the moving part of the cylinder through a connecting piece. The cylinder is fixed on the outer wall surface of the pressure relief pipeline downstream of the strip-shaped holes. The negative pressure dust collection box is formed with several communicating cavities through several partitions. There are several cleaning ports at the top and bottom of the negative pressure dust collection box, and the cleaning ports are closed by rubber plugs.

[0017] Advantages of the present invention:

[0018] 1. The horizontal cleaning rod and the automatic pressure relief valve are interlocked for automatic control of pressure relief, avoiding blockage at small pipe diameters;

[0019] 2. Dust collection is carried out before entering the tail gas pipeline to reduce the entry of low-valence substances into the tail gas pipeline and avoid blockage;

[0020] 3. A semi-open dust collection pipe is adopted at the horizontal cleaning rod. While absorbing the flue gas, air is inhaled to oxidize the low-valence chlorides, reducing the possibility of flash explosion;

[0021] 4. The dust collection box is closed with a rubber plug to avoid damage to the equipment during a serious flash explosion and facilitate cleaning. Description of the Drawings
