[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and in particular to an online hydrogen ion analyzer. Background Art

[0002] In the process of nickel electrolysis, it is necessary to create conditions that allow hydrogen to be precipitated preferentially on the cathode and nickel to dissolve normally on the anode, thereby enriching the nickel ions in the electrolyte. Therefore, sulfuric acid needs to be added to the electrolyte to maintain the appropriate acidity of the electrolyte and inhibit the precipitation of nickel.

[0003] The electrolyte for nickel electrolysis is composed of a certain amount of sulfuric acid mixed with copper slag leaching solution, iron alum slag filtrate, anode mud washing solution, electrolytic waste acid and external liquid. Since the acidity of these solutions is different and the difference is large, it is necessary to adjust the appropriate acidity to prepare the acid and liquid. The corresponding result is obtained by detecting the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution, which facilitates timely process control and rectification of the corresponding acidity on the production line to ensure the normal progress of production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0019] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a hydrogen ion online analyzer includes a body 11, wherein a separated cavity is provided in the body 11, and a cabinet door 14 for sealing the cavity is provided on the surface of the body 11. Considering the safety of the detection equipment, the devices are placed inside the cabinet door 14 for protection.

[0020] The cavity includes an electrical part, a measuring part and a storage part. The electrical part, the measuring part and the storage part are separated and placed in sequence from top to bottom, which can isolate the electrical components and the solution transmission components. In case of leakage, they are not easily damaged.

[0021] Among them, the electrical part includes an electrical cavity 21, which is located at the uppermost side of the body 11. The electrical cavity 21 runs through the front and back. A control module 25 is fixedly installed in the electrical cavity 21. The control module 25 is used for communication and control of other internal equipment. At the same time, the distribution box, sockets, etc. are all installed in the electrical cavity. This type of equipment works stably for a long time and is not easy to adjust. Fixed installation can ensure the stability and safety of operation and ensure long-term operation of the device.

[0022] Among them, the control module 25 is the main control part, which is responsible for managing, controlling and processing the circuit signals of the instrument. The control module 25 includes a main controller, relays, PH signal conditioner, analog-to-digital converter, digital-to-analog converter, switching power supply and other components. The end face of the control module 25 also includes a touch screen for control. The cabinet door 14 of the electrical cavity 21 is provided with a through operating port 12 to facilitate the staff to perform debugging and control work.

[0023] In this application, in order to ensure long-term use and stable development and debugging, the main controller uses an industrial-grade embedded controller, which has the advantages of high performance, low cost, and low power consumption. It has powerful computing and processing capabilities, multi-channel analog, switch input and output, and network communication functions, and can connect and drive various sensors and external devices required for specified functions.

[0024] The measuring part is the part for performing detection work, and the measuring part includes a detection cavity 22, and the detection cavity 22 is located below the electrical cavity 21. The measuring part is placed in the middle layer, and liquid leakage in the measuring part will not affect the work of the electrical cavity 21. It is convenient for operation and can isolate electrical components, thereby reducing risks and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0025] A detection pool 41 for detecting hydrogen ions is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the detection chamber 22 . The detection pool 41 is located at the front. The detection pool 41 is in communication with the control module 25 . The detection work is performed inside the detection pool 41 .

[0026] The detection pool 41 is provided with an inner cavity 42, and the top of the inner cavity 42 is connected to a containing pool 43 for detection. The inside of the containing pool 43 is used to place the solution to be detected. The solution has a certain corrosiveness. The present application is aimed at acid-making liquid, and the acidity test is performed by titration. It is necessary to observe the color change of the titration process in real time, so glass material can be selected.

[0027] The top wall of the inner cavity 42 is connected with a pH detector 35 , and the pH detector 35 extends into the containing tank 43 . During operation, the pH detector 35 will penetrate into the solution to perform detection.

[0028] At the same time, a high-speed camera 46 and a water level sensor 45 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner cavity 42. The high-speed camera 46 and the water level sensor 45 are respectively located on both sides of the containing pool 43. The water level sensor 45 is used to observe the solution height inside the containing pool 43 to facilitate the control of the titration progress. The high-speed camera 46 is used to measure color changes to facilitate observation work. At the same time, the high-speed camera 46 is also provided with a light source to improve color accuracy and ensure observation accuracy.

[0029] The high-speed camera 46, the water level sensor 45, and the pH detector 35 are all connected to the control module 25 via lines for data transmission and control.

[0030] The inner cavity 42 is also provided with a stirring device for the containing tank 43. The stirring device adopts an electromagnetic stirrer. The electromagnetic stirrer can reduce the contact for mixing, ensure better mixing, and does not affect the detection of normal titration.

[0031] The solutions detected in the detection pool 41 are all introduced from the outside. In order to ensure sufficient metering accuracy, the detection pool 41 is connected to a titration structure for injection. The titration structure includes a syringe pump 36. The syringe pump 36 has high accuracy and can perform quantitative control work, thereby realizing quantitative control of the titrant. The titrant needs to be quantitatively controlled. At the same time, the containing pool 43 also needs to inject other samples and water and other solutions. In order to ensure that the titrant will not be contaminated by other impurities during the injection process and affect the titration reaction, therefore, the syringe pump 36 is provided with two, one of which is only used to inject the titrant and the internal cleaned water. The syringe pump 36 is connected to a guide plate 32, and the guide plate 32 is connected to two external catheters. The other syringe pump 36 is used to inject different solutions and samples. The syringe pump 36 is also connected to a guide plate 32, and the guide plate 32 is connected to a number of different catheters, which connects more types of solutions and performs corresponding injection work. The two syringe pumps 36 are connected to the containing pool 43 through catheters.

[0032] After the titration is completed, the waste liquid in the containing tank 43 needs to be discharged and then cleaned. The detection tank 41 is also connected to a peristaltic pump 36, and the peristaltic pump 36 is connected to the containing tank 43 through a catheter. The waste liquid and the cleaning liquid have a large capacity when discharged, and no corresponding metering work is required. Therefore, the peristaltic pump 36 is used for discharge, and the peristaltic pump 36 and the detection tank 41 are connected through a catheter for drainage.

[0033] At the same time, the waste liquid can be used as a sample record to facilitate subsequent inspection feedback. The waste liquid is discharged separately and is not mixed with the cleaning liquid for discharge. Therefore, the peristaltic pump 36 is provided with two, one for waste liquid discharge and the other for cleaning liquid discharge.

[0034] The measuring part also includes a cabinet door 14. The detection chamber 22 runs through the front and back, and the front and back sides are sealed by the cabinet door 14. The injection pump 33, the peristaltic pump 36, and the detection pool 41 are all on one side. The control module 38 of the injection pump 33 is located on the back to facilitate partition renovation and reduce interference.

[0035] The front cabinet door 14 also includes an observation port 13, which is convenient for the working personnel to check and judge the titration work.

[0036] The storage portion includes a material storage chamber 23 and a flow guiding chamber 51 . The material storage chamber 23 and the flow guiding chamber 51 are arranged front and back and are both located at the bottom of the machine body 11 .

[0037] The storage chamber 23 is used to place various reagent barrels, homogenizers, and waste liquid collection barrels to deal with emergencies or problems that arise during equipment maintenance.

[0038] A plurality of partitions 24 are provided in the storage chamber 23, and the interior of the storage chamber 23 is separated by different partitions 24, so that different reagent barrels can be classified and placed, which is convenient for staff to adjust. The peristaltic pump 36 discharges the waste liquid and the cleaning liquid into the reagent barrels of the discharge chamber 23 through the catheter, and the injection pump 33 injects the titrant and various auxiliary solutions in the storage chamber 23.

[0039] A filtering device is provided in the guide cavity 51, and the filtering device is used for pre-treating samples for convenient transmission. A connecting plate 52 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide cavity 51, and a filter block 53 is installed on the connecting plate 52. The filter block 53 is connected to a plurality of conduits, and the conduits are used to guide the flow of samples. Some of the conduits are connected to the filter block 53 and the measuring part, that is, the injection pump 33. The sample filtered by the filter block 53 is transmitted to the injection pump 33 for titration measurement, while another part of the conduits is connected to the filter block 53 and an external pipeline. The conduits extend outside the device and are connected to the main pipeline to facilitate sample collection, thereby performing filtering.

[0040] The above embodiments only express the specific implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the technical solution concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
