Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous hydrometallurgy and relates to an automatic temperature control and rapid filling, replacement and cleaning system for a pressure kettle. Background Art
[0002] Before the start of the pressure leaching of nickel and cobalt, the pressure leaching slurry is directly pumped into the pressure autoclave because the reaction medium cannot be filled in the pressure autoclave. The reaction atmosphere is insufficient, resulting in incomplete slurry leaching and too long start-up time. In the normal production process, due to changes in slurry concentration, flow rate, oxygen intake, etc., the autoclave temperature and autoclave pressure in the pressure autoclave fluctuate greatly. The existing coil-type temperature control device in the pressure autoclave is prone to internal leakage, which increases the difficulty of maintenance. At the same time, if the stirring equipment and oxygen pipe in a compartment of the pressure autoclave fail, replacement cleaning cannot be performed separately or simultaneously, and water can only be fed from the feed port for progressive replacement cleaning, which takes a long time. Therefore, the present invention provides a pressure autoclave automatic temperature control and rapid filling replacement cleaning system to solve the above defects. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic temperature control and rapid filling, replacement and cleaning system for an autoclave in response to the problems existing in the prior art, thereby solving the problem that the existing autoclave cannot simultaneously have the functions of automatic temperature control and rapid replacement and cleaning, resulting in reduced operating efficiency of the autoclave.
[0004] To this end, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The invention discloses an automatic temperature control and rapid filling, replacement and cleaning system for a pressure kettle, comprising a pressure kettle, a supernatant liquid storage tank and a high-pressure pump.
[0005] The autoclave is equipped with a vapor phase thermometer, and the first pressure transmitter is used to detect the vapor phase temperature and pressure during leaching in the autoclave; the leached slurry enters the autoclave from the feed port, and is discharged from the discharge port after leaching in each compartment. Each compartment of the autoclave is equipped with a liquid phase thermometer, a steam branch pipe, and a supernatant branch pipe, and the liquid phase thermometer is used to detect the liquid phase temperature in different compartments.
[0006] Each steam branch pipe is respectively connected to the steam main pipe and is equipped with a first automatic quick-break valve, a first check valve, a first three-way pipe, and a first automatic regulating valve. A third pressure transmitter is arranged on the steam main pipe. Each supernatant branch pipe is respectively connected to the supernatant main pipe and is equipped with a second automatic quick-break valve and a second check valve, and is connected to the steam branch pipe via the first three-way pipe.
[0007] The supernatant liquid main pipe is equipped with a first flow meter, a second pressure transmitter, a second automatic regulating valve, and a second flow meter. The starting end of the supernatant liquid main pipe is connected to the pump outlet valve of the high-pressure pump, and the end is connected to the inlet of the supernatant liquid storage tank; the supernatant liquid storage tank is equipped with a liquid level meter, and the outlet is equipped with a supernatant liquid outlet valve. A second three-way pipe is arranged on the pipeline between the inlet of the high-pressure pump and the supernatant liquid outlet valve, and is connected to the tap water pipeline, and a tap water valve is arranged on the tap water pipeline.
[0008] Furthermore, the first automatic quick-break valve on the steam branch pipe is locked with the liquid phase thermometer on the pressure autoclave, the first pressure transmitter, and the third pressure transmitter on the steam main pipe; when the temperature detected by the liquid phase thermometer is equal to or greater than the minimum temperature specified for pressurized leaching in the corresponding compartment, and the pressure detected by the third pressure transmitter is equal to or less than the first pressure transmitter, the first automatic quick-break valve cannot be opened; when the temperature detected by the liquid phase thermometer is lower than the minimum temperature specified for pressurized leaching in the corresponding compartment, and the pressure detected by the third pressure transmitter is greater than the pressure detected by the first pressure transmitter by more than 0.15MP, the first automatic quick-break valve opens; at the same time, the first automatic regulating valve is opened to start heating the compartment.
[0009] Furthermore, the second automatic quick-break valve on the supernatant branch pipe is locked with the liquid phase thermometer on the pressure autoclave, the first pressure transmitter, and the second pressure transmitter on the supernatant main pipe; when the temperature detected by the liquid phase thermometer is equal to or lower than the minimum temperature specified for pressurized leaching in the corresponding compartment, and the pressure detected by the third pressure transmitter is equal to or lower than the first pressure transmitter, the first automatic quick-break valve cannot be opened; when the temperature detected by the liquid phase thermometer is equal to or higher than the maximum temperature specified for pressurized leaching in the corresponding compartment, and the pressure detected by the third pressure transmitter is higher than the pressure detected by the first pressure transmitter by more than 0.15MP, the first automatic quick-break valve opens and starts to cool down the compartment.
[0010] Furthermore, the first automatic quick-break valve on the steam branch pipe is interlocked with the second automatic quick-break valve on the supernatant branch pipe; when the first automatic quick-break valve is opened, the second automatic quick-break valve cannot be opened; when the second automatic quick-break valve is opened, the first automatic quick-break valve cannot be opened.
[0011] Furthermore, the second automatic regulating valve on the supernatant main pipe is interlocked with the second pressure transmitter; when the pressure detected by the second pressure transmitter is 0.2MP greater than the pressure detected by the first pressure transmitter on the pressure autoclave, the second automatic regulating valve automatically opens and increases its opening as the pressure rises, allowing the remaining supernatant to flow back into the supernatant storage tank.
[0012] Furthermore, the second automatic quick-break valve and the first automatic regulating valve can be opened manually, so that different compartments of the autoclave can be quickly filled or replaced individually or simultaneously according to different situation needs.
[0013] Furthermore, when cleaning different compartments of the autoclave after replacement individually or simultaneously, close the supernatant outlet valve, open the tap water valve, manually open the second automatic quick-break valve and the first automatic regulating valve, and clean different compartments of the autoclave individually or simultaneously.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention can quickly fill, replace and clean the autoclave when it is started and stopped, quickly create or eliminate the reaction atmosphere, completely leach the initial slurry, and shorten the start and stop time. At the same time, the present invention has the functions of temperature control, filling, replacement and cleaning of one or more compartments of the autoclave, thereby realizing precise control of the pressurized leaching process.

[0021] The supernatant main pipe 16 is equipped with a first flow meter 17, a second pressure transmitter 18, a second automatic regulating valve 19 and a second flow meter 20. The starting end of the supernatant main pipe 16 is connected to the pump outlet valve 21 of the high-pressure pump 3, and the end is connected to the inlet of the supernatant storage tank 2.

At this time, the second automatic quick-break valve 14 is interlocked and in a closed state, and feeding starts from the feed port 27, and the pressure vessel 1 starts pressurized leaching.
[0024] Step 3: Temperature and pressure control: During the pressure leaching process, when the temperature and pressure of the pressure autoclave 1 are about to be lower than the specified technical conditions, the step 2 procedure is automatically executed; when the temperature and pressure are about to be higher than the specified technical conditions, the high-pressure pump 3 is automatically started, and the second automatic quick-break valve 14 on the supernatant branch pipe 8 is automatically opened, and the supernatant enters the pressure autoclave 1 and starts to cool down; when the temperature detected by the liquid phase thermometer 6 is equal to or lower than the specified minimum temperature for pressure leaching in the corresponding compartment, the second automatic quick-break valve 14 is automatically closed, and the temperature and pressure reduction are completed. At this time, the first automatic quick-break valve 9 is closed.
