Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrolytic magnesium technology, and in particular to a device for treating solid waste residue in electrolytic magnesium production. Background Technology

[0002] Magnesium electrolytic cell slag, magnesium molten salt furnace slag, and magnesium continuous refining furnace slag are the three main sources of solid waste in current electrolytic magnesium production.

[0003] When magnesium oxide is wetted by molten salt, it deposits at the bottom of the furnace or electrolytic cell, forming slag that adheres to the walls. Over time, this can adversely affect the normal operation of the workpiece.

[0004] Therefore, solid waste must be cleaned up regularly to avoid affecting normal production.

[0005] The main components of solid waste slag produced in electrolytic magnesium production are MgO, MgCl2, CaCl2, NaCl, KCl, Mg, and Mg2N3. When this slag is piled up and exposed to air, especially humid air, it will produce flammable and explosive hydrogen gas and toxic ammonia gas. The main chemical reaction equation is as follows: Mg2N3 + H2O = Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3↑. If the concentration of hydrogen and ammonia accumulates to a sufficiently high level, it can cause an explosion or environmental pollution. Therefore, the treatment of solid waste slag is necessary.

[0006] On June 27, 2024, a search was conducted in the China Patent Publication Database using "electrolytic magnesium and solid and waste residue and ammonia and neutralization" as the abstract keywords and the option to allow synonym expansion was selected. No relevant literature was found.

[0007] On June 27, 2024, an abstract search was conducted on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) using "electrolytic magnesium and solid and waste residue and ammonia and neutralization" as abstract keywords, but no relevant literature was found.

[0008] CN112077118A discloses a treatment process for solid waste residue in electrolytic magnesium production, which provides a complex method for solid waste treatment. This method requires a large amount of equipment for post-processing, which is too costly to some extent, resulting in a serious economic burden for enterprises.

[0009] It is completely different from the concept of this patent.

[0010] Therefore, the shortcomings of the existing technology are: the cost is too high, the required equipment is too large, and the control of ammonia is too complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0013] A device for treating solid waste residue in electrolytic magnesium production, characterized in that,

[0014] The processing device includes a basic processing container 1, and a feed inlet 3 is arranged above the basic processing container 1. The feed inlet 3 is a closable hopper and leads to the interior of the basic processing container 1.

[0015] The bottom of the basic processing container 1 includes a bottom gate 2;

[0016] An integrated flue gas reaction auxiliary system 5 is arranged on the basic treatment container 1;

[0017] The integrated flue gas reaction auxiliary system 5 includes multiple sets of dispersion heating tubes 503 passing through the basic treatment container 1. The two sides of the dispersion heating tubes 503 correspond to the dispersion main board 502 and the collection main board 504, respectively. The dispersion main board 502 and the collection main board 504 are each hollow cavities.

[0018] The mainboard 502 is connected to the flue gas inlet 501;

[0019] Collect the motherboard 504 and connect it to the flue gas duct 6;

[0020] The basic treatment container 1 includes an exhaust gas channel 4 for collecting ammonia gas.

[0021] Flue gas duct 6 leads to flue gas passage 7;

[0022] The flue gas passage 7 and the exhaust gas passage 4 are connected by a combined pipe 8;

[0023] The opening on one side of the integrated pipe 8 is the contact port 9 of the washing tower.

[0024] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a water spray nozzle is arranged in the basic treatment container 1.

[0025] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a temperature sensor is arranged in the basic processing container 1.

[0026] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a conveyor belt is included below the bottom gate 2.

[0027] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the feed inlet 3 can hold solid waste residue from the electrolytic magnesium production process. The main components of the solid waste residue are: MgO, MgCl2, CaCl2, NaCl, KCl, Mg and Mg2N3.

[0028] Mg2N3 + H2O = Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3↑; ammonia and sulfur oxides or nitrogen oxides in flue gas inlet 501 are further neutralized with water by acid-base reaction.

[0029] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the integrated flue gas reaction auxiliary system 5 can heat the solid waste residue and assist in the release of ammonia.

[0030] A further technical solution of the present invention is that acid-base neutralization takes place in the main reaction in a washing tower.

[0031] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the solid waste residue and silt below the bottom gate 2 are mixed together to make building bricks.

[0032] The present invention, employing the above technical solution, offers the following advantages over existing technologies: Compared to the existing technology, "CN112077118A discloses a complex solid waste treatment method for electrolytic magnesium production, which requires extensive post-processing equipment, resulting in excessively high costs and a significant economic burden on enterprises. Therefore, the shortcomings of existing technologies are: excessively high costs, excessive equipment requirements, and overly complex ammonia control." This patent innovatively utilizes the pre-filtered flue gas from existing flue gas purification scrubbing towers to catalyze the reaction, making ammonia unstable and rapidly released. Subsequently, acidic gases react with ammonia, automatically neutralizing it, reducing environmental costs, and preventing the later generation of ammonia. Attached Figure Description
