Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of papermaking black liquor experimental research, and in particular relates to an experimental testing device and method for the flow scaling characteristics and phenomena of pulping and papermaking black liquor. Background Art

[0002] Black liquor is a highly concentrated waste liquid composed of wood cellulose, lignin and other chemicals, usually produced during the chemical pulping process. During chemical pulping (such as the sodium hydroxide process or the sulfite process), wood is treated with chemicals to decompose lignin to extract cellulose. This process produces a large amount of black liquor, which contains organic matter, inorganic salts, ash and water. The composition of black liquor includes not only the waste liquid itself, but also unextracted lignin and other chemicals. If black liquor is not treated, direct discharge will cause serious environmental pollution. Its high COD (chemical oxygen demand) and BOD (biological oxygen demand) values ​​will cause eutrophication and poisoning to water bodies, affecting aquatic ecology. Therefore, reasonable black liquor treatment is an important part of the sustainable development of the papermaking industry.

[0003] Black liquor scaling is also an important industrial problem. Scaling will reduce the efficiency of heat conduction, hinder the flow of fluid in the pipeline, increase the energy consumption of pumping, and the scaling substances may enter the final product, affecting the purity and quality of the product. In general, black liquor scaling has a significant impact on the operation of the equipment and the quality of the product. At present, the prior art has not reported any test equipment for the characteristics and phenomena of black liquor flow scaling. The patent application for a device and evaluation method for simulating the flow of black liquor in pipelines to observe scaling phenomena (application number: 202410778621.6) is the research result of the inventor's team. The emergence of this device fills the gap in the field of black liquor flow scaling research and test equipment. In actual applications, it is found that the equipment is inconvenient to operate in terms of observation and maintenance.

[0004] Regarding the experimental test methods for the characteristics and phenomena of black liquor scaling, the formation process of black liquor scaling usually takes a long time to observe obvious scaling phenomena, which makes the existing test methods have a long cycle and low efficiency. Especially in the industrial production process, it is particularly important to observe the characteristics and phenomena of black liquor scaling and quickly evaluate the scaling tendency of black liquor without affecting the operation of the equipment. And because sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate in black liquor are the main components of pipeline scaling, they will gradually precipitate due to the evaporation of black liquor water to form scaling. For the future treatment of black liquor scaling, it is also necessary to observe the surface morphology of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfate and measure the amount of the two.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new test device and method for the flow scaling characteristics and phenomena of pulping and papermaking black liquor. Summary of the invention

[0009] Among them, the control terminal is used to receive and display the temperature and pressure data transmitted by the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor, and the control terminal controls the opening or closing of the metering pump and the temperature control device, which are all well-known technologies in the art.

[0010] Preferably, the heater is a tubular electric heater, and the heater is arranged outside the test tube in a spirally wound shape.
