Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical devices, in particular to a urea ammonium nitrate solution continuous filtration system and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Liquid nitrogen fertilizer urea ammonium nitrate solution contains nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen and amide nitrogen, which can be directly applied after dilution with water, or used as raw material to produce ternary liquid fertilizer. Generally, the process principle adopted by each manufacturer in the production of urea ammonium nitrate solution is that urea particles and 92% ammonium nitrate solution are metered according to the formula requirements, and a certain proportion of process water is added into a static mixer for mixing and stirring reaction. The mixed urea ammonium nitrate solution is cooled and then sent to a storage tank for storage, while being loaded or packaged according to requirements, and the packaged product is sold or stored.

[0003] Urea ammonium nitrate is originally a colorless liquid, but during its production process, impurities such as oily substances and dust particles invisible to the naked eye may be mixed therein, which may cause the liquid to appear turbid, the liquid to change color, the color to be out of standard, or the oily substances on the surface of the liquid to float, etc. Therefore, filters must be added to each link of urea ammonium nitrate solution production to filter the raw materials and finished liquid. Since the traditional filtration system is relatively simple and the filter is not reasonably arranged, the liquid product may not meet the standards. Patent No. ZL201710421487.4 provides a method for simultaneously removing turbidity and filling urea ammonium nitrate solution, which filters and removes turbidity from urea ammonium nitrate solution before filling. The method adopted is to use two-stage polyester filter bags for filtration.
