[0044] See also Figure 1 The figure shows the three-dimensional structure of the recovery device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 . Figure 2 The figure shows the three-dimensional structure of the recovery device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 . Figure 3 Shown is a side view of the recovery device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0045] This embodiment of the present application first provides a device for recovering solid sulfur containing impurities. The device primarily comprises a sulfur melting unit A, a feeding unit B, and a filtering unit C. Multiple sulfur melting units A are arranged side by side, heating and melting solid sulfur containing impurities into a liquid state. Feeding unit B is used to feed multiple sulfur melting units A, facilitating continuous production. Liquid sulfur from sulfur melting units A is fed into filtering unit C for filtration and separation to remove impurities. The filtered liquid sulfur is then sent to a liquid sulfur tank or liquid sulfur storage facility for subsequent processing. The technical solution provided by this invention implements a three-stage process: feeding, sulfur melting, and filtration.

[0046] The sulfur melting equipment A in the present invention is the core equipment, and its structure is designed as follows.

[0047] like Figure 4 The figure shows the appearance and structure of the sulfur melting equipment A provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 . Figure 5 The figure shows the appearance and structure of the sulfur melting equipment A provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 .

[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the sulfur melting equipment A mainly includes a horizontal sulfur melting tank A1. The sulfur melting tank A1 preferably adopts a stainless steel tank body. A heating device is arranged outside the sulfur melting tank A1. The heating device is used to heat the sulfur melting tank A1, thereby heating and melting the solid sulfur in the sulfur melting tank A1; the heating device adopts an electric heating device or a low-pressure steam heating device, preferably a low-pressure steam heating device.

[0049] An upward-facing sulfur filling pipe A101 is located at one end of the sulfur melting tank A1, and a liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 is located at the other end. Solid sulfur is added to the sulfur melting tank A1 through the sulfur filling pipe A101, and the melted liquid sulfur is discharged from the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 to the filtration device C. In the present invention, the sulfur melting tank A1 can be arranged horizontally or at an angle. When arranged at an angle, the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 is positioned low, facilitating gravity discharge of the liquid sulfur within the sulfur melting tank A1.

[0050] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the sulfur melting tank A1 has a first shell A103 in the shape of a circular tube. The first shell A103 is a double-layer structure. A heating jacket is formed between the double-layer structure. One end of the heating jacket is connected to the steam input pipe A104, and the other end is connected to the steam output pipe A105. The interior of the sulfur melting tank A1 is heated by passing low-pressure steam into the heating jacket. The two ends of the first shell A103 are closed by a first sealing plate A106. The bottom of the first sealing plate A106 is connected to a rectangular first base A107. The four corners of the bottom of the first base A107 are provided with support feet A108 with adjustable heights. By adjusting the support feet A108, the first shell A103 can be set horizontally or tilted. A plurality of first support frames A109 are also provided between the two first sealing plates A106 to support the first shell A103.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown in Figure 1, an upward-facing sulfur feeding pipe A101 is installed on the left side of the first shell A103. A first discharger A2 is located on top of the first discharger A101. The first discharger A2 houses a closed rotor, which uniformly feeds sulfur into the sulfur melting tank A1. A liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 is installed on the first sealing plate A106 on the right side of the first shell A103. This liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 penetrates the first sealing plate A106 and communicates with the interior of the first shell A103.

[0052] like Figure 6 The figure shows the structure of the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 in an embodiment of the present application. In the illustrated embodiment, the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 has an arc-shaped flow channel A102.1. This channel passes through a through-hole in the right first sealing plate A106 and connects to the bottom edge of the first housing A103. Liquid sulfur within the first housing A103 can flow smoothly into the arc-shaped flow channel A102.1. The top of the arc-shaped flow channel A102.1 is sealed by a first cover plate A102.2. In this application, the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 is a closed conduit connecting the first housing A103 and the filter device C.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to prevent unmelted sulfur from being directly discharged into the filtering device C, an intercepting valve A3 is provided on the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 in the present application. The intercepting valve A3 is used to control the connection or cutoff between the first shell A103 and the filtering device C. Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, the intercepting valve A3 includes a valve cover A301, a gate plate A302, and a first push rod A303. The valve cover A301 is mounted on the first cover plate A102.2. The first push rod A303 is mounted on the top of the valve cover A301. The piston rod of the first push rod A303 is located inside the valve cover A301 and is connected to the semicircular gate plate A302. The first push rod A303 can be an electric push rod, a pneumatic push rod, or a hydraulic push rod. A connecting port is provided on the first cover plate A102.2. The gate plate A302 in the valve cover A301 can pass through the connecting port on the first cover plate A102.2 and extend into the arc-shaped guide groove A102.1. When the edge of the gate plate A302 contacts the inner wall of the arc-shaped guide groove A102.1, the interior of the arc-shaped guide groove A102.1 is blocked; at this time, the liquid sulfur in the first housing A103 cannot flow into the filter device C.

[0054] This application also provides an improved sulfur melting tank A1 structure, Figure 7 The diagram below illustrates the structure of the improved sulfur melting tank A1 provided in this application. In the improved sulfur melting tank A1, the first shell A103 is composed of two semicircular shells A103.1 assembled into a circular tube. The two semicircular shells A103.1 face each other vertically. The lower semicircular shell A103.1 is a double-layer structure with a heating jacket formed between the two layers. One end of the heating jacket is connected to the steam inlet pipe A104, and the other end is connected to the steam outlet pipe A105.

[0055] The improved sulfur melting tank A1 only heats the lower semicircular shell A103.1, leaving the upper semicircular shell A103.1 unheated. In actual production, the amount of filling in the sulfur melting tank A1 is smaller than that of the semicircular shell A103.1, so only the lower semicircular shell A103.1 needs to be heated.

[0056] In order to reduce the heat loss of the lower semicircular shell A103.1, side closing plates A110 are installed on both sides of the lower semicircular shell A103.1. Figure 8 The figure shows the structure of the sulfur melting tank A1 after installing the side closing plates A110. The two side closing plates A110 and the two first closing plates A106 enclose the lower semicircular shell A103.1 in a closed space.

[0057] Furthermore, in order to facilitate regular cleaning of the sulfur attached to the inner wall of the first shell A103, in a specific embodiment of the present application, a plurality of openable inspection windows A111 are provided on the upper semicircular shell A103.1.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to speed up the melting of sulfur, in a specific embodiment of the present application, a rotatable stirrer A4 can be provided inside the sulfur melting tank A1 to stir the material and accelerate the melting of the material. Figure 9The figure shows the structure of the agitator A4 in the sulfur melting tank A1 of the present application. As shown in the figure, the agitator A4 includes a stirring shaft A401 and a stirring portion A402. The stirring shaft A401 is arranged on the axis of the first shell A103. The two ends of the stirring shaft A401 pass through the first sealing plates A106 on both sides. Mechanical seals A6 are installed outside the two first sealing plates A106 and at the position where the stirring shaft A401 passes. One end of the stirring shaft A401 is connected to the first drive device A5. Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the first drive device A5 is arranged on the left side.

[0059] The first driving device A5 is used to drive the stirring shaft A401 to rotate. Figure 8 As shown in , in a specific embodiment of the present application, the first driving device A5 includes a first driving motor A501 and a first transmission mechanism A502, and the first transmission mechanism A502 can adopt belt drive or chain drive. Figure 8 The first transmission mechanism A502 shown in FIG is a belt drive. A driven pulley is mounted on the agitator shaft A401, and a driving pulley is mounted on the drive shaft of the first drive motor A501. A transmission belt connects the driving and driven pulleys. A first housing A503 is mounted externally to the first transmission mechanism A502, enclosing the driving pulley, driven pulley, and transmission belt.

[0060] like Figure 9 As shown in FIG, a plurality of stirring parts A402 are provided along the length direction on the stirring shaft A401 in the first shell A103, and the stirring parts A402 extend along the radial direction of the first shell A103. Figure 10 The figure shows a mounting structure diagram of a stirring unit A402 according to the present application. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the stirring shaft A401 located within the first housing A103 has a square cross-section and has four mounting surfaces A401.1. Each mounting surface A401.1 is provided with a mounting hole A401.2 along its length. The mounting holes A401.2 on adjacent mounting surfaces A401.1 are staggered along their length, and each mounting hole A401.2 is mounted on a stirring unit A402. Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, two stirring parts A402 are symmetrically installed at the starting ends of the upper and lower mounting surfaces A401.1 of the stirring shaft A401, and then two stirring parts A402 are symmetrically installed on the left and right mounting surfaces A401.1 of the stirring shaft A401. In this way, the stirring parts A402 are alternately installed along the length direction of the stirring shaft A401, so that the stirring parts A402 are fully distributed along the length direction of the stirring shaft A401 in the first shell A103.

[0061] like Figure 10As shown in , in one specific embodiment of the present application, the stirring portion A402 is composed of a stirring main rod A402.1 and a scraper A402.2. One end of the stirring main rod A402.1 is provided with an external thread, which is threaded into the mounting hole A401.2. The external thread section of the stirring main rod A402.1 is sleeved with a locking nut A402.3 and a sealing gasket. The locking nut A402.3 is rotated to further press the sealing gasket onto the mounting surface A401.1, thereby preventing liquid sulfur from entering the mounting hole A401.2, thereby ensuring that the stirring portion A402 can be removed. The free end of the stirring main rod A402.1 is detachably mounted with a scraper A402.2. The scraper A402.2 has a blade, and the scraper A402.2 can scrape the inner wall of the first shell A103 during rotation.

[0062] Furthermore, during equipment maintenance, the sulfur attached to the stirrer A4 is difficult to clean. To clean the sulfur attached to the stirrer A4, in one embodiment of the present application, a hollow cavity extending along the axis is provided in the stirrer shaft A401, and the hollow cavity passes through both ends of the stirrer shaft A401; the hollow cavity is used to circulate low-pressure steam, which melts the sulfur solid attached to the stirrer A4 by heating the stirrer A4 itself. After the sulfur melts, it quickly detaches from the stirrer A4 during the rotation process. During specific installation, the stirrer shaft A401 is connected to the first drive device A5, and one end is connected to the first rotary joint A7, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the stirring shaft A401 connected to the first rotary joint A7 of the present application. The first rotary joint A7 is mounted on the first housing A503. The rotating tube portion of the first rotary joint A7 passes through the first housing A503 and is connected to one end of the stirring shaft A401. Low-pressure steam is introduced from the first rotary joint A7. The other end of the stirring shaft A401 passes through the mechanical seal A6 on the first sealing plate A106 on the other side and is connected to the second rotary joint A8; as shown in FIG. Figure 12 The diagram shows the connection between the stirring shaft A401 and the second rotary joint A8. The mechanical seal A6 on the other side of the first sealing plate A106 is mounted with an end cap, which is then mounted on the second rotary joint A8. The rotating tube portion of the second rotary joint A8 passes through the end cap and connects to the stirring shaft A401. The second rotary joint A8 is used to discharge low-pressure steam.

[0063] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the mounting hole A401.2 on the stirring shaft A401 is connected to the hollow cavity; the stirring main rod A402.1 in the stirring part A402 has a hollow cavity, such as Figure 13 The figure shows the hollow cavity within the stirring rod A402.1 of this application. Once the stirring rod A402.1 is installed in the mounting hole A401.2, the hollow cavity within the stirring rod A402.1 communicates with the mounting hole A401.2. This design allows low-pressure steam to further heat the stirring portion A402, thereby quickly removing any sulfur adhering to the stirring portion A402.

[0064] In the present application, the low-pressure steam is passed to the agitator A4 not only in the equipment maintenance stage but also in the sulfur melting stage, thereby accelerating the temperature rise of the liquid sulfur and the melting speed.

[0065] The liquid sulfur melted in the sulfur melting device A is sent to the filtering device C for filtration and separation to remove impurities. The filtering device C can adopt the following specific structural forms.

[0066] Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the liquid sulfur discharge pipes A102 of the three sulfur melting units A are connected to a filter unit C. The filter unit C comprises a filter housing C1 and a filter structure disposed therein. In this application, the filter housing C1 employs an insulated structure. For example, the filter housing C1 is designed as a sandwich structure filled with insulating material. Furthermore, a steam heating pipe can be provided within the sandwich structure to heat the interior of the filter housing C1 with low-pressure steam, preventing the liquid sulfur from solidifying within the filter housing C1.

[0067] The filtering structures in this application are various and are listed below for explanation.

[0068] like Figure 14 The figure shows the first filter structure of the present application. The upper part of the filter box C1 is a rectangular shaped accommodating cavity, and the lower part gradually narrows. An inclined guide pipe C2 is provided at the bottom of the filter box C1, and the guide pipe C2 is connected to the liquid sulfur pool or liquid sulfur storage equipment. In this embodiment, the filter structure adopts a filter plate C3, and the filter plate C3 can be provided in multiple layers. The top filter plate C3 is lower than the lowest point of the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102. When using multiple layers of filter plates C3, filter plates C3 with different pore sizes can be used for layered filtration. During specific installation, the large-pore filter plate C3 is arranged above the small-pore filter plate C3; for example, when a two-layer filter plate C3 structure is used, the upper filter plate C3 adopts a 20-mesh stainless steel mesh, and the specific pore size is selected according to actual conditions; the lower filter plate C3 adopts a 100-mesh sintered metal felt.

[0069] The use of filter plate C3 has the problem of difficulty in cleaning the filter residue. For this reason, the present application also provides a second filter structure. Figure 15 The figure shows the second filter structure of the present application. The second filter structure can be removed from the top of the filter box C1, and each sulfur melting equipment A is equipped with a separate filter structure. The significance of this design is that when a single filter structure is used for slag removal, it will not affect the operation of other equipment.

[0070] like Figure 15As shown in , the rectangular holding chamber on the upper part of the filter box C1 is divided into three independent filter chambers by a vertical partition C101 installed vertically. Each filter chamber corresponds to a sulfur melting device A, that is, the liquid sulfur discharge pipe A102 of each sulfur melting device A is connected to a filter chamber. Figure 16 The figure shows the internal structure of the intermediate filter chamber of the present invention. A support base plate C102 is provided in the filter chamber, and a flow guide hole C103 is provided on the support base plate C102. Figure 17 The figure shows the structure of the flow holes C103 on the support base plate C102. A vertical flow guide pipe C104 is set on the bottom surface of the support base plate C102. The flow holes C103 are connected to the vertical flow guide pipe C104, and the bottom of the vertical flow guide pipe C104 is connected to the flow guide pipe C2.
