Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and particularly relates to a dense fixed bed adsorption tower for preventing blockage of in-situ leaching solution of uranium mines and a use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dense fixed bed adsorption tower is simple in operation, large in processing flow, and is widely applied to in-situ leaching solution adsorption of in-situ leaching uranium mines. However, in the adsorption process, the resin in the tower has no relative displacement, and the resin bed is in a dense state, which can intercept the flocculent and impurities entrained in the leaching solution. With the accumulation of the liquid inlet flow, the flocculent can block the resin bed, resulting in increased bed resistance, increased pressure at the top of the adsorption tower, and reduced liquid inlet flow.

[0003] In order to solve the problem of blockage of the resin bed by the flocculent and impurities entrained in the leaching solution, a bag filter is used for filtering before the leaching solution enters the tower in the current production of in-situ leaching uranium mines. This not only requires a large number of filtering equipment, increases the equipment sets of the adsorption device, and increases the construction investment, but also requires frequent cleaning of the filter bag. There are as many as 24 filter bags for each filter, and manual operation is required for disassembly and installation, which is not only labor-intensive, but also causes high radiation contamination of the operator. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and provides a dense fixed bed adsorption tower for preventing blockage of in-situ leaching solution of uranium mines. The flocculent that blocks the resin bed can be flushed out by setting a backwash water inlet and outlet at a suitable position.

The number of holes is determined according to the horizontal sectional area corresponding to each pipe.

[0016] In order to avoid that the resin enters the liquid distribution pipe in abnormal working conditions, the other end of the liquid distribution pipe extends out of the tower body and is connected with a transparent pipe and a ball valve, and when it is observed that there is resin or other sundries in the pipe, the valve can be opened to discharge the resin or other sundries.

[0017] In the technical scheme, the backwash liquid outlet is arranged in multiple and is uniformly distributed along the circumference of the tower body; the backwash liquid outlet is connected with an inner extension liquid pipe in the direction of the tower, and the inner extension liquid pipe is arranged along the radial direction of the cross section of the tower body. The inner extension liquid pipe in the direction of the tower can ensure smooth liquid outlet in the central area of the tower, and the effect is more obvious when the diameter of the tower is large.

[0018] In the technical scheme, the backwash liquid outlet is connected with an outer discharge pipeline, and a filter screen is arranged on the outer discharge pipeline to intercept a small amount of resin that may be discharged.

[0019] In the technical scheme, the filter screen is specifically an arc-shaped screen.

[0020] Another object of the present application is to provide a clog-preventing uranium ore in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption system.

[0021] A clog-preventing uranium ore in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption system, comprising an adsorption raw liquid pump, a dense fixed bed adsorption tower, an arc-shaped screen and a backwash liquid collecting pool.

[0022] The dense fixed bed adsorption tower is the clog-preventing uranium ore in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower described in the technical scheme.

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] An anti-blocking uranium in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower, the dense fixed bed adsorption tower comprising a tower body and a resin bed layer arranged inside the tower body; the tower body has a diameter of 5 m, a straight cylinder segment height of 6 m, and an internal resin bed layer height of 4 m;

[0046] The tower body is provided with an adsorption raw liquid inlet, an adsorption tail liquid outlet, a backwashing liquid inlet and a backwashing liquid outlet;

[0047] The adsorption raw liquid inlet is arranged at the top of the tower body, and the adsorption tail liquid outlet is arranged at the bottom of the tower body and connected to the bottom of the tower body through a wire-wound tube filter;

[0048] The backwashing liquid inlet is arranged at a position 0.5 m below the top of the resin bed layer on the side wall of the tower body, and the backwashing liquid inlet is provided with four (k1-k4) and is uniformly distributed along the circumference of the tower body.

[0049] The backwashing liquid outlet is arranged at a position 1 m above the top of the resin bed layer, and the backwashing liquid outlet is provided with four and is uniformly distributed along the circumference of the tower body.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] A use method of the anti-blocking uranium ore in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower, the anti-blocking uranium ore in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower is the anti-blocking uranium ore in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower described in example 1, comprising the following steps:

[0052] Step 1, adsorption process, the adsorption raw liquid flows into the adsorption raw liquid inlet at the top of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower, flows through the resin bed layer, and the adsorption tail liquid flows out through the adsorption tail liquid outlet at the bottom of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower; the adsorption raw liquid flow is 10 m / h-60 m / h of empty tower linear velocity, and the adsorption raw liquid turbidity is less than 5 NTU;

[0053] Step 2, backwashing process, when it is necessary to remove the flocculent mud intercepted by the resin (when the top pressure of the tower is increased by about 0.15 MPa compared with the initial pressure), the pipeline of the adsorption raw liquid into the dense fixed bed adsorption tower is changed, and the adsorption raw liquid is changed to flow into the backwashing liquid inlet; a part of the adsorption raw liquid flows downward through the resin bed layer to perform normal adsorption operation, and the adsorption tail liquid flows out through the adsorption tail liquid outlet at the bottom of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower; another part of the adsorption raw liquid flows upward to fluidize and backwash the resin bed layer located above the backwashing liquid inlet, and the backwashing liquid and the flocculent mud flow out through the backwashing liquid outlet. The flow rate of the adsorption raw liquid flowing into the adsorption raw liquid inlet in the adsorption process is the same as the flow rate of the adsorption raw liquid flowing into the backwashing liquid inlet in the backwashing process.

[0054] By controlling the flow rate of the backwashing liquid flowing out of the backwashing liquid outlet (corresponding to an empty tower linear velocity of about 20 m / h), the fluidized expansion height of the resin bed layer above the backwashing liquid inlet (corresponding to a bed expansion rate of 100%-180% of the backwashing liquid outlet flow rate) is controlled, so that the resin interface is lower than the backwashing liquid outlet, and the resin is prevented from flowing out of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower.

[0055] The backwashing process lasts about 8 minutes, during which the turbidity of the backwashing effluent is obviously reduced. When the turbidity is less than 50 NTU, the backwashing process is ended. During backwashing, the backwashing effluent enters the sieve bend. By observing the sieve bend, it can be determined whether resin is washed out.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] A clogging-preventing uranium in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption system comprises an adsorption original liquid pump (pump flow 1100 m 3 / h, head 60 m), a dense fixed bed adsorption tower, a sieve bend (sieve bend mesh 30 mesh, sieve surface area 9.2 m2), and a backwashing liquid collection tank (glass steel combined water tank volume 150 m 3 ). The dense fixed bed adsorption tower is the clogging-preventing uranium in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower described in Example 1.

[0058] The adsorption original liquid pump is connected to the adsorption original liquid inlet and the backwashing liquid inlet of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower through pipelines. The backwashing liquid outlet of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower is connected to the sieve bend through an external discharge pipeline. The sieve bend liquid outlet is connected to the backwashing liquid collection tank pipeline.

[0059] The use method of the clogging-preventing uranium in-situ leaching liquid dense fixed bed adsorption tower in this example is the same as that in Example 2, comprising the following steps:

[0060] Step 1, adsorption process, the adsorption original liquid is pumped into the adsorption original liquid inlet at the top of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower through the adsorption original liquid pump, flows through the resin bed layer, and the adsorption tail liquid flows out through the adsorption tail liquid outlet at the bottom of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower.

[0061] Step 2, backwashing process, when it is necessary to remove the flocculent mud trapped by the resin, the pipeline for the adsorption original liquid to enter the dense fixed bed adsorption tower is changed, and the adsorption original liquid is changed to flow in through the backwashing liquid inlet. Part of the adsorption original liquid flows downward through the resin bed layer to perform normal adsorption operation, and the adsorption tail liquid flows out through the adsorption tail liquid outlet at the bottom of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower. The other part of the adsorption original liquid flows upward to fluidize the resin bed layer located above the backwashing liquid inlet to perform backwashing, and the backwashing liquid and the flocculent mud flow out through the backwashing liquid outlet. After the backwashing liquid is discharged, a small amount of resin that may be discharged is first intercepted by the sieve bend, and then returned to the adsorption original liquid storage tank after clarification by the backwashing liquid collection tank.

[0062] The flow rate of the adsorption original liquid flowing in from the adsorption original liquid inlet in the adsorption process is the same as the flow rate of the adsorption original liquid flowing in from the backwashing liquid inlet in the backwashing process.

[0063] By controlling the flow rate of the backwash liquid flowing out of the backwash liquid outlet, the resin bed layer fluidization expansion height of the upper part of the backwash liquid inlet is controlled, the resin interface is ensured to be lower than the backwash liquid outlet, and the resin is prevented from flowing out of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower.

[0064] It is found through research that the bed layer blockage of the dense fixed bed adsorption tower is mainly concentrated in the upper part of the bed layer within 0.3 m, and there is little floc in the lower part, so the key to the bed layer unblocking is to remove the floc trapped in the upper part of the bed layer within 0.3 m. The technical scheme of the present application adopts the scheme of backwashing the upper part of the bed layer within 0.3 m to remove the floc. During normal adsorption, the adsorption raw liquid enters from the top of the tower, and when the bed layer needs to be unblocked, the adsorption raw liquid enters from the backwash liquid inlet at a position 0.5 m below the top of the bed layer. The resin above the backwash liquid inlet is in a fluidized state, and the floc rises higher due to the density difference. The floc can be washed out by setting a backwash water outlet at a suitable position.

[0065] In addition, when the bed layer needs to be unblocked, the adsorption raw liquid enters from the backwash water inlet, and the flow rate is the same as that during normal adsorption and remains unchanged. The adsorption raw liquid entering the tower is divided into two streams from the perspective of the flow direction. One stream continues to flow downward for adsorption, and the other stream flows upward to backwash the resin bed layer with a thickness of 0.5 m at the top. The backwash water flows out of the backwash water outlet. By controlling the flow rate of the backwash water outlet, the resin bed layer expansion height can be controlled, the resin interface is ensured to be lower than the backwash water outlet, and the resin is prevented from being washed out. Moreover, the floc can be smoothly discharged. After the backwash water is discharged, a small amount of resin that may be discharged is first intercepted by an arc screen, and then returned to the collecting tank after clarification in a clarification tank.

The liquid distribution holes in the walls of the pipes are arranged in horizontal, oblique downward and downward directions, and the hole diameters The number of holes is determined according to the horizontal cross-sectional area of each pipe.

In the embodiment, the C-C cross-sectional view shows the specific implementation of the liquid distribution holes arranged in oblique downward 45° and downward directions, and the liquid distribution holes are small holes with a diameter of 4mm (see Figure 7 ). The arrangement of multiple backwash liquid inlets and the connection of liquid distribution pipes to each backwash liquid inlet can achieve uniform liquid distribution in a large-diameter adsorption tower, and can also achieve the arrangement of as few support members as possible in the inner wall of the tower body, thereby ensuring the integrity of the anticorrosive lining in the tower body, improving the anticorrosive effect and service life.
