AI continuously optimizes and learns through historical data modeling to improve the purification effect and reaction rate. In multi-stage reaction and energy optimization, according to the physical and chemical properties of impurities, the reaction process is divided into multiple temperature control stages. Different target temperatures are set for each stage to separate specific impurities.

The AI system analyzes vertical data through machine learning algorithms, and optimizes the reaction conditions by continuously updating and optimizing the process. The optimization formula is as follows:
[0108] mαx T,P,t E(T,P,t)
[0109] in:
[0110] E(T, P, t) is the purification efficiency function, which represents the efficiency of the purification process at a specific temperature T, heating power P, and reaction time t;
[0111] T is temperature, the reaction temperature at each stage in the process;
[0112] P is the heating power, which determines the input of thermal energy into the reactor;
[0113] t is the reaction time, which refers to the duration of the reaction at each stage;
[0114] Sp5: Product cooling and waste treatment. The purified calcium hydroxide product is discharged from the reactor and enters the cooling device for cooling. The waste heat, waste gas and waste generated by the reaction are secondary treated by the green treatment device, and the waste heat is recycled again through the heat exchanger.
[0115] In actual use, in order to improve the accuracy of the entire process, the raw material pretreatment is set up, and the crushing particle size of the calcium hydroxide raw material containing impurities is controlled at 100-200μm. A vibration screening device is used to remove oversized or undersized particles to ensure uniform raw material particles and provide a uniform reaction basis for subsequent heating and reaction. Iron filings and mud impurities are removed by gravity sorting or magnetic suspension. A bag dust collector is used to treat dust emissions during the crushing process to reduce dust emissions during the crushing process, improve the working environment and reduce raw material losses.
[0116] In refined temperature control and heating, the reactor is divided into multiple independent heating zones, and each heating zone is set with a temperature control target. Different heating zone temperatures are designed according to the physical and chemical properties of the impurities, such as volatilization point, melting point, decomposition temperature, etc. The low temperature zone is used to remove low melting point and volatile impurities, such as moisture and light organic matter. The medium temperature zone is used to decompose impurities with higher melting points, such as sulfides and fluorides. The high temperature zone is used to completely decompose impurities that are difficult to volatilize, such as metal oxides, to ensure that the purity of calcium hydroxide is improved. A high-precision thermocouple temperature sensor is arranged in each heating zone to monitor temperature changes in real time. The temperature signal is transmitted to the PID controller through the control system, and the heating power is adjusted by the PID control algorithm to ensure that the temperature is always kept in the optimal range. The multi-stage reaction and energy optimization further include the following:
[0117] The low temperature zone is set at 100-200℃, mainly removing moisture, volatile impurities and low melting point organic matter. This stage uses lower energy consumption while ensuring that raw material decomposition is avoided;
[0118] The temperature in the medium temperature zone is set at 300-500℃ to decompose inorganic impurities with medium melting points. At this time, the reaction rate is high, and the reaction time is optimized by temperature gradient control, such as sulfides and fluorides. At this time, the reaction rate is high, and the reaction time is optimized by temperature gradient control;
[0119] The temperature of the high temperature zone is set at 600-900℃, which is used to remove high temperature resistant impurities such as metal oxides to achieve the high purity purification requirements of calcium hydroxide;
[0120] Refined temperature control and zoned heating are adopted. Each heating zone monitors the temperature in real time according to the volatilization point and decomposition temperature of different impurities to ensure that the temperature in each stage accurately reaches the set value. The PID control algorithm is used to adjust the heating power to avoid overheating or underheating and ensure the purity of calcium hydroxide. The energy recovery system recovers the waste heat generated in the reaction process through the heat exchanger and uses it to preheat the raw materials in other stages, effectively reducing energy consumption. Heat exchangers are installed in each stage to effectively recover waste heat, and the recovered heat energy is used to preheat the raw materials in the next stage to reduce overall energy consumption. Through the energy management system, the energy consumption of each reaction stage is monitored and adjusted in real time to ensure that the energy input and heat recovery process are efficient and waste-free. Environmentally friendly design is adopted, including waste heat, waste gas and waste material treatment devices. The waste heat generated in the reaction process is recovered through the heat exchanger and reused in other process links to reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the waste gas is treated by a scrubber and a filter to ensure that the emission meets environmental standards. Waste materials such as metal impurities can be recycled through secondary use to reduce environmental pollution and resource waste.
[0121] After the purification of calcium hydroxide in product cooling and waste treatment is completed, it enters the cooling system through a transmission device. Countercurrent cooling or air cooling technology is used to quickly cool the product. Air or water can be used as the cooling medium. Air cooling is achieved through fans, while water cooling is achieved through circulating water cooling towers. Waste heat is recovered again through a heat exchanger, part of which is used for preheating in the previous stage, and the rest can be used for heating or power generation in other plant areas. The exhaust gas generated during the reaction is treated by green environmental protection equipment and discharged after purification through a washing tower or filtering device. Specific embodiment 2:
[0123] like Figure 1-4 As shown, according to the content of the specific embodiment 1, the following contents are further disclosed:
[0124] The formula contents of each process stage in the specific embodiment 1 are subjected to feasible experimental processing, and the experimental contents and data contents are as follows:
[0125] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is a curve of temperature change over time. This curve shows the change of temperature in the system over time. Due to the use of PID control algorithm, the temperature will be gradually adjusted to the target temperature in different temperature zones.
[0126] Initial stage: The temperature starts to rise from the initial temperature of 25°C, and the PID controller adjusts the heating power according to the difference between the target temperatures to make the temperature rise slowly;
[0127] Zoned heating: During the whole process, the system is divided into three temperature zones: low temperature zone: 150℃, medium temperature zone: 400℃, high temperature zone: 800℃. When the temperature reaches the target of the low temperature zone, the system automatically adjusts the heating power and enters the next temperature zone, and finally reaches the target temperature of 800℃ in the high temperature zone.
[0128] PID control effect: The PID controller adjusts the speed and stability of temperature rise through proportion, integration and differentiation to avoid overshoot or fluctuation, so that the temperature approaches the target temperature steadily;
[0129] Curve characteristics: The temperature rise in each stage is smooth and gradually approaches the target temperature. When the system switches to the next temperature zone, such as from the low temperature zone to the medium temperature zone, the temperature will continue to rise to the new target value;
[0130] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a curve of the control signal generated by the PID controller versus time, and the curve represents the control signal generated by the PID controller, that is, the adjustment amount of the heating power, versus time;
[0131] Initial stage: At the beginning, due to the large difference between the current temperature and the target temperature, the control signal will be relatively large to provide sufficient heating power;
[0132] Error reduction: As the system gradually approaches the target temperature, the error gradually decreases, the PID controller reduces the heating power, and the control signal tends to be stable;
[0133] Proportional term: directly adjust the control signal according to the temperature error. When the temperature difference is large, the control signal is large; when the temperature difference is small, the control signal gradually decreases.
[0134] Integral term: used to eliminate steady-state errors and increase control signals when temperature differences accumulate over a long period of time;
[0135] Differential term: By predicting the changing trend of the error, the system is prevented from over-adjusting, and the control signal gradually becomes flat when the temperature difference decreases;
[0136] Curve characteristics: The control signal is large in the initial stage of each temperature zone. As the temperature gradually approaches the target value, the control signal becomes smaller. If there is a large temperature fluctuation, the control signal may oscillate briefly, but eventually stabilize.
[0137] like Figure 4 As shown, it is a curve of reaction rate changing with time. This curve shows the reaction rate changing with time calculated according to the Arrhenius equation. The reaction rate is exponentially related to temperature. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the reaction rate will also increase.
[0138] Low temperature zone: In the low temperature zone, the reaction rate is slow due to the low temperature;
[0139] Medium temperature zone and high temperature zone: As the temperature enters the medium temperature zone and high temperature zone, the reaction rate increases rapidly, especially in the high temperature zone. Due to the high temperature and increased reaction rate, the decomposition and purification speed of impurities are significantly accelerated;
[0140] Effect of activation energy: The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction rate, and the temperature needs to be high enough to effectively speed up the reaction rate;
[0141] Curve characteristics: The reaction rate curve is roughly consistent with the temperature curve. As the temperature rises, the reaction rate increases exponentially. In the high temperature zone, the reaction rate reaches the highest and the purification process is most active.
[0142] Based on the above:
[0143] Temperature control process: Through PID control, the temperature can gradually approach the target temperature of different temperature zones. Each zone has a reasonable heating time and temperature control accuracy. The control signal curve shows the adjustment process of the heating power. The system can adjust the power of the heater in real time according to the temperature difference to prevent temperature overshoot or fluctuation. The reaction rate increases significantly in areas with higher temperatures, indicating that the purification effect in high temperature areas is most significant, which is in line with the temperature dependence of the chemical reaction rate, realizing an efficient calcium hydroxide purification process, and further improving the efficiency of the entire process through energy recovery and reaction rate optimization. Specific embodiment three:
