Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mixing devices, and in particular to a carbide slag adding device for dissolving alumina. Background Art

[0002] Bauxite is the best raw material for producing aluminum and is also the most important application area. Its consumption accounts for more than 90% of the world's total bauxite production. Among the processes for preparing aluminum using bauxite, the Bayer process is a more common one. Its principle is to convert the alumina hydrate in bauxite into sodium aluminate with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, and re-precipitate the aluminum hydroxide by dilution and adding aluminum hydroxide seeds. The remaining sodium aluminate solution, also called mother liquor, is reused to process the next batch of bauxite, realizing continuous production.

[0003] First of all, the bauxite should be slurried, that is, bauxite, lime, sodium chlorate solution, etc. should be ground and dispersed into raw pulp according to a certain ratio. Lime is one of the important sources of alkali in raw pulp, and carbide slag can be used to replace lime as the source of alkali. In the process of raw pulp preparation, and subsequent high-pressure dissolution, dilution, separation and washing, the pH of raw pulp has a significant impact on the entire process, which mainly affects the amount of subsequent raw materials added, and the purity of alumina. And because the pH of each batch of bauxite has a certain difference, each time the slurry is adjusted, it is not possible to simply increase the amount of corresponding alkali according to the amount of bauxite, but to try to detect the pH of the slurry during the slurry adjustment process, and adjust the amount of carbide slag added according to the pH. In this way, if the slurry preparation amount of a single batch is small, the overall slurry adjustment efficiency is not high. If the slurry preparation amount of a single batch is large, then the slurry is easily unevenly distributed during slurry adjustment. Therefore, a more efficient slurry adjustment device can be designed. Summary of the invention

After a single measurement is completed, the slide tube 22 is retracted into the sleeve 21, and the motor 33 is adjusted to rotate the first spoiler 31 to return it to its previous position (as shown in the figure).

[0038] In this embodiment, a plurality of pH detection devices 20 are provided, and the plurality of pH detection devices 20 are evenly distributed in the vertical direction. Specifically, through periodic measurement by the plurality of pH detection devices 20, the pH value of the slurry at various locations in the tank body 10 can be known in real time, so as to know whether the slurry is evenly mixed and whether the pH value has reached a preset value.
