Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of production for recycling nonferrous metal waste, and in particular provides a vacuum distillation furnace for a high-tin material recycling system. Background Art

[0002] Tin metal is widely used in industrial production processes. Recycling non-ferrous metals from renewable resources is an important part of the sustainable development of the non-ferrous metal industry, and is increasingly valued by environmental protection departments and the non-ferrous metal industry. When recycling tin, a vacuum distillation furnace is usually required to perform vacuum distillation and refining operations on the melted tin liquid. The principle of vacuum distillation separation and purification of metals is to use the different vapor pressures generated by the components of the liquid alloy to separate and enrich the metals under conditions below atmospheric pressure. Taking lead removal as an example, the vacuum distillation and refining of tin is based on the obvious vapor pressure difference between tin and lead at the same temperature. In the temperature range of 1073-1473K, the vapor pressure of pure lead is 2000-8750 times that of pure tin, and as the temperature increases, the vapor pressure ratio decreases. In the temperature range of 1373-1473K, the vapor pressure of lead in crude tin with a lead content of 1% is 1123-1720 times that of tin. Therefore, as long as the appropriate distillation temperature is selected, the lead in the crude tin can be volatilized to achieve the purpose of purifying tin.

[0003] During the vacuum distillation and refining process of tin, after a period of distillation, condensates will form on the surface of the tin liquid in the evaporation tray, affecting the volatilization rate of lead, reducing the distillation efficiency and purification accuracy. The current vacuum distillation furnace does not have a special structure for this problem, and the industry has not proposed other feasible solutions. The only way is to stop the distillation at regular intervals and open the vacuum distillation furnace to scrape off the condensates on the surface of the tin liquid.

[0025] Example 1 This embodiment provides a specific scheme for the vacuum distillation furnace of the high tin material recovery system of the present invention, such as Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of the multi-stage vacuum distillation units is two, namely a first distillation unit 2 and a second distillation unit 3 arranged side by side.

[0026] The first distillation unit 2 includes a first evaporation pan group 21, a first connecting column 22, a first condensation pan group 24, a first condensation tube 25, a first graphite heating body 26, a first rotating mechanism 27, a first lifting mechanism 28, a first discharge pipe 29, a first receiving tank 210 and a first feed pipe 211.

[0027] The first evaporation pan group 21 includes a plurality of evaporation pans arranged at intervals along the vertical direction and whose outer diameters increase step by step from top to bottom.

The first connecting column 22 is arranged vertically, and its lower end is connected to the driving shaft of the first rotating mechanism 27, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the center of each evaporation pan of each stage in sequence. A center hole is provided at the center of each condensation pan, and the center hole is movably matched with the first connecting column 22.

The first connecting column 22 is located in a partially hollow arrangement between adjacent evaporation pans.

[0028] Since the structures of the two distillation units are the same, the second distillation unit 3 includes the corresponding second evaporation pan group 31, the second connecting column, the second condensation pan group 32, the second condensation precipitate tube 33, the second graphite heating body 34, the second rotating mechanism 35, the second lifting mechanism 36, the second discharge pipe, the second receiving tank and the second feed pipe, and the positions and connection relationships between the various structural parts are completely consistent with the above description of the second distillation unit 2. It should be noted that the second connecting column, the second discharge pipe, the second receiving tank and the second feed pipe are not marked in the drawings.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first evaporation pan group 21 and the first condensation pan group 24 are both configured as three-stage pan groups, with the first stage and the last stage both being arranged in order from top to bottom.

[0030] This embodiment arranges the part of the feed pipe inside the furnace body as a telescopic structure, and arranges a condensation tube and a receiving tank that are opposite to each other and not connected, thereby ensuring that the condensation plate can be freely raised and lowered without affecting the feeding and discharging functions.

[0031] like Fig. 9 The condensate scraping unit 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a scraper 42 and a swing mechanism 43. The rotating shaft 41 is arranged vertically and can rotate around the central axis. Multiple scrapers 42 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on the same side of the rotating shaft. The lower surface of each scraper is flush with the upper surface of each stage of the evaporation plate. The swing mechanism 43 is set at the bottom of the furnace body 1 and is drivingly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 41.

[0032] The vacuum distillation furnace of this embodiment also includes a condensate brushing removal unit 5, which includes a support rod 51 and a brush body. The support rod 51 is arranged vertically, and a plurality of brush bodies whose number is the same as the scraper 42 are arranged vertically at intervals on one side of the support rod 51 relative to the rotating shaft 41, and the height of each brush body corresponds to that of each scraper, and each brush body is located on the horizontal moving path of the corresponding scraper.

[0033] In this embodiment, the number of the scraper 42 and the number of the brush bodies are both three.

[0034] In this embodiment, the brush body includes an upper brush plate 52 and a lower brush plate 54 symmetrically arranged up and down, and bristles 53 arranged on opposite surfaces of the two brush plates. The scraper 42 moves horizontally between the upper and lower brush plates to laterally brush away the condensate on the surface of the scraper 42.

[0035] In this embodiment, the condensate brushing unit 5 also includes a longitudinal guide rail 55 and a reciprocating mechanism 56. The longitudinal guide rail 55 is arranged at the bottom of the furnace body 1 of the vacuum distillation furnace and is arranged along the direction of the line between the support rod 51 and the rotating shaft 41. The bottom of the support rod 51 is slidably arranged in the longitudinal guide rail 55. The reciprocating mechanism 56 is arranged at the bottom of the furnace body 1 and is drivingly connected to the bottom of the support rod 51. The support rod 51 drives each brush body to reciprocate along the longitudinal guide rail 55 to longitudinally brush off the condensate on the surface of the scraper 42.

[0036] The control unit is connected to the first rotating mechanism 27 and the second rotating mechanism 35 by electrical signals, and is configured to drive the first evaporation pan group 21 and the second evaporation pan group 31 to rotate alternately; the control unit is connected to the first lifting mechanism 28 and the second lifting mechanism 36 by electrical signals, and is configured to drive the first condensation pan group 24 and the second condensation pan group 32 to rise and fall alternately; the control unit is connected to the first graphite heating body 26 and the second graphite heating body 34 by electrical signals, and is configured to control the corresponding graphite heating body to stop heating when the condensation pan group in a certain distillation unit rises and leaves the evaporation pan group; the control unit is connected to the reciprocating mechanism 56 by electrical signals; the control unit is connected to the swing mechanism 43 by electrical signals, and is configured to drive the rotating shaft 41 to drive each scraper to move horizontally toward the distillation unit where heating is stopped.

[0037] In order to achieve a reasonable combination of the distillation process and the condensate scraping process, further save the space in the furnace and improve the distillation operation efficiency, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 41 is arranged on the middle front side of the first distillation unit 2 and the second distillation unit 3, and the support rod 51 is arranged on the middle rear side of the first distillation unit 2 and the second distillation unit 3. The swing mechanism 43 drives the rotating shaft 41 to swing back and forth between the two distillation units, so as to drive the scraper 42 to swing alternately to the surface of the first evaporation plate group 21 or the second evaporation plate group 31 to scrape off the condensate on the surface of the tin liquid.

[0038] In this embodiment, since the path of the scraper 42 when it swings is fan-shaped, in order to maximize the removal of condensate on the scraper 42, the upper brush plate 52 and the lower brush plate 54 are arranged to gradually increase in width from the rotating shaft 41 to the support rod 51, so as to extend the contact time between the bristles 53 and the scraper 42. Specifically, a fan ring or a trapezoidal shape can be used.

[0039] The working process of the above vacuum distillation furnace is as follows: A vacuum environment is established inside the vacuum distillation furnace, and the condensation plate group and the evaporation plate group are controlled to be in a buckled state. The graphite heating body heats the evaporation plate group and controls the internal temperature. After the tin material containing lead impurities is heated and melted, it is transported to the top evaporation plate of the evaporation plate group through the feed pipe and flows into the evaporation plates below in sequence. The evaporation plates at each level are distilled respectively, and the metal vapor is collected into the condensation precipitation tube through the corresponding condensation plates at each level, and finally output from the receiving tank and the discharge pipe in sequence.

[0040] After a period of distillation, the first graphite heating body 26 is controlled to stop heating, the first lifting mechanism 28 drives the first condensation plate group 24 to rise and separate from the first evaporation plate group 21, the first rotating mechanism 27 drives the first evaporation plate group 21 to rotate, and the swing mechanism 43 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate and drives each scraper 42 to move horizontally above each level of evaporation plate to scrape off the condensate on the surface of the tin liquid in the evaporation plate.

[0041] After the scraping operation of the condensate in the first distillation unit 2 is completed, the swing mechanism 43 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the scrapers 42 to move horizontally above the evaporation plates of each level of the second distillation unit 3, and controls the first evaporation plate group 21 to stop rotating. The first condensation plate group 24 descends and fits tightly with the first evaporation plate group 21. The first graphite heating body 26 starts to heat. At this time, the first distillation unit 2 continues to perform the distillation operation. At the same time, in the second distillation unit 3, the second graphite heating body 34 is controlled to stop heating. The second lifting mechanism 36 drives the second condensation plate group 32 to rise and separate from the second evaporation plate group 31. The second rotating mechanism 35 drives the second evaporation plate group 31 to rotate, and cooperates with the scraper 42 to scrape the condensate on the surface of the tin liquid in the second distillation unit 3.

[0042] When the swing mechanism 43 drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate bidirectionally, the reciprocating mechanism 56 drives the support rod 51 to move along the longitudinal guide rail 55, so that when the scraper 42 moves laterally relative to the upper and lower brush plates, the upper and lower brush plates also move longitudinally relative to the scraper 42, thereby cleaning the scraper 42 to the greatest extent.

[0043] The above process is carried out alternately to scrape off the condensate on the surface of the tin liquid in the first distillation unit 2 and the second distillation unit 3 at different time periods, so that one of the distillation units is always kept in a distillation operation state, effectively improving the distillation efficiency of the entire vacuum distillation furnace.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments may be modified or some technical features may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
