Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electrodialysis equipment is a device that separates charged substances from solution based on electrochemical principles and under the action of a DC electric field.

[0003] In order to ensure the sealing, the relevant electrodialysis equipment generally uses hydraulic components to compress the membrane stack.

[0068] Further, such as Figure 4-Figure 7The spray assembly 3 includes a grid plate 31, a water supply unit 32 and a plurality of nozzles 33. The plurality of nozzles 33 are connected around the grid plate 31. The plurality of nozzles 33 are all connected to the water supply unit 32. The grid plate 31 is located inside the electrodialysis assembly 1. The water supply unit 32 and the plurality of nozzles 33 are all located outside the electrodialysis assembly 1.

[0069] Specifically, the grid plate 31 is used as a nozzle supporting component to support a plurality of nozzles 33.

[0076] Further, such as Figure 1 The electrodialysis assembly 1 includes: a frame 11; a fixed pressure plate 12 fixedly connected to the frame 11; a mobile pressure plate 13 movably connected to the frame 11; a plurality of membrane stacks 14 movably connected to the frame 11, and the plurality of membrane stacks 14 are located between the fixed pressure plate 12 and the mobile pressure plate 13; wherein the cylinder body 2151 of the hydraulic cylinder 215 is connected to the frame 11, and the piston rod 2152 of the hydraulic cylinder 215 is connected to the mobile pressure plate 13.

[0077] Specifically, during operation, the piston rod 2152 of the hydraulic cylinder 215 drives the movable pressure plate 13 to move along the frame 11 , so that a plurality of membrane stacks 14 are pressed between the movable pressure plate 13 and the fixed pressure plate 12 , thereby ensuring the sealing of the membrane stacks 14 .

[0078] Further, such as Figure 1 The membrane stack 14 includes: a positive electrode water distribution plate 141; a plurality of ion exchange membranes 143 and a plurality of partitions 144 arranged at intervals; and a negative electrode water distribution plate 142; wherein the plurality of ion exchange membranes 143 and the plurality of partitions 144 arranged at intervals are all located between the positive electrode water distribution plate 141 and the negative electrode water distribution plate 142.

[0081] Specifically, the DC voltage collector 212 is used to detect the DC voltage of multiple membrane stacks 14, and transmit the DC voltage values ​​of multiple membrane stacks 14 to the controller 205 via the communication cable 41 using the Mobbus RTU communication protocol. The controller 205 further analyzes and processes the DC voltage values ​​of the multiple membrane stacks 14. The controller 205 can also be electrically connected to the relevant host computer 42, so that the DC voltage values ​​of the multiple membrane stacks 14 can be understood on the host computer 42, and the trend charts and data reports of the DC voltage values ​​of the multiple membrane stacks 14 can be understood on the host computer 42, which is convenient for problem tracing and troubleshooting. It is also convenient to generate a water inlet abnormality warning based on the rising speed of the DC voltage value of the membrane stack 14 per unit time through the algorithm in the controller 205 to determine whether it is caused by water inlet abnormality and reduce losses caused by the abnormality. It is also convenient to generate a DC voltage value difference over-limit warning based on the DC voltage values ​​between the multiple membrane stacks 14 through the algorithm in the controller 205 to determine which specific membrane stack 14 has a problem.

[0082] When the controller 205 is a PLC controller, a DC voltage collector 212 is set in the cabinet of the PLC controller.

[0086] Specifically, during operation, an electrodialysis device of model BL3T-50-320 is used in a plateau area. The room temperature in winter is low, at 3-10°C. During operation, the incoming material is processed at 27°C. As the electrodialysis device is running, the temperature gradually rises from room temperature to the liquid temperature, and the membrane stack 14 expands, causing the hydraulic pressure to rise. After shutdown, the membrane stack 14 gradually cools down and shrinks, and the hydraulic pressure gradually decreases. After a long period of operation, the membrane stack 14 repeatedly expands and contracts, and then deforms and begins to leak. After the original electrodialysis device is transformed into an electrodialysis device with an automatic hydraulic station 2, the hydraulic pressure is stabilized within ±1% of the set value, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

[0087] Further, such as Fig. 9 , the plurality of second holes 332 are all inclined at a first angle α toward the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis assembly 1. Specifically, the first angle α facilitates the water from the plurality of second holes 332 to be sprayed toward the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis assembly 1, so as to ensure good targeted cleaning. The first angle α can be 15°, 20°, etc., preferably 15°.

[0088] Further, such as Figure 8 The plurality of second holes 332 are configured as two groups of hole units axially symmetrically distributed about the nozzle body 333, the spacing d between adjacent second holes 332 of the hole unit is equal, and the second holes 332 on both sides of the hole unit are inclined outward at a second angle β.

[0089] Specifically, the two groups of hole units facilitate spraying to both sides of a single nozzle body 333, thereby ensuring comprehensive cleaning. Each hole unit preferably includes 3-5 second holes 332. Since the spacing d between adjacent second holes 332 of the hole unit is equal, the spraying uniformity is good. The specific value of the spacing d is preferably about 2 mm. Since the second holes 332 on both sides of the hole unit are inclined outward at a second angle β, the spraying range is increased, thereby ensuring comprehensive cleaning. When each hole unit includes 3 second holes 332, the second angle β is preferably 30°.

[0090] Further, such as Figure 7 The water supply unit 32 includes two water supply modules 321, and the water supply module 321 includes a first water supply pipe 3211.

[0099] During operation, after the lithium chloride or lithium sulfate from the salt lake is pre-treated and purified, it enters the lithium hydroxide bipolar membrane stack to prepare lithium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. During operation, a small amount of solution will diffuse from the membrane to the surface of the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis component 1 or the edge seal is not tight to form a serious leakage, and salt solution will appear on the surface of the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis component 1. After evaporation, salt scale will form on the surface of the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis component 1. Depending on the situation, the machine can be shut down for 7-30 days, and then the spray component 3 will be opened to spray pure water at a rate of 1-2kg / cm 2 The water is delivered to the first water supply pipe 3211 under pressure, and then distributed to the third water supply pipe 3210, and finally enters the nozzle 33 and sprays at high speed on the surface of the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis module 1 to wash away the salt scale on the surface. After a one-year operation cycle, the surface of the membrane stack 14 of the electrodialysis module 1 is clean and free of salt scale, and the self-cleaning device is effective.
