Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sodium chloride crystal preparation systems, in particular to a sodium chloride crystal preparation system. Background Art

[0002] Salt particle size is one of the most important indicators for measuring salt. Its size and uniformity directly affect the quality, performance, salt variety regulation, and sales price of the product. Existing salt production equipment produces a large number of powder particles, which directly affects production and use. This has two main impacts. First, the large number of powder particles makes it easy for the particles to fly during use, which has a direct impact on the workload and health of operators, and also affects the cleanliness of the workshop. Excessive dust can even pose a safety hazard. Second, the salt particles are small and light. After the salt enters the salt tank, a large number of fine particles float on the top of the salt tank, making it difficult to settle. The brine concentration is uneven and difficult to control. The presence of a large number of fine particles can also clog pipelines, affecting production. In addition, the size of the crystal particles has a significant impact on agglomeration. The larger the proportion of small particles, the greater the contact area between the particles, and the greater the tendency to agglomerate, which affects the storage, transportation, and use of the salt.

The fine crystal elimination mechanism is used to dissolve and eliminate the fine crystals floating in the clear liquid area 8 and transport them to the center tube 4. A heating mechanism is provided between the center tube 4 and the annular isolation tube 2. The heating mechanism is used to heat the brine in the gushing zone 9 and the heating crystal growth zone 10 and make the particles absorb heat to grow and crystallize, and promote the circulation of brine in the crystallization separation tank 1.

[0022] The fine crystal elimination mechanism includes a fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13, which is connected to the clear liquid area 8 of the crystallization separation tank 1 through an external pipeline, the fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13 is connected to the raw material, and the fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13 is connected to the central tube 4 through an external pipeline. A second delivery pump 14 is provided on the external pipeline between the fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13 and the central tube 4, and a stirring paddle 15 is provided on the fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13. The fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13 is provided with a driving mechanism 16 for driving the stirring paddle 15 to rotate, and a sewage outlet 19 is provided on the fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13.

The insulation spacer 17 is provided with a condensed water outlet 18 .

[0024] The heating mechanism includes a blower 20, a second heat exchanger 21, an annular gas distributor 22 and an automatic flushing mechanism.

The unsaturated characteristics of the feed brine are used to dissolve the small particles. At the same time, steam is transported and the brine is heated in the gap between the fine crystal elimination dissolution tank 13 and the insulation spacer 17. The solubility of the sodium chloride solution increases with the increase of temperature, and eventually a large number of small particle crystals are dissolved, and heat energy is provided to the brine in the melting tank. The brine in the dissolution tank then enters the central tube 4 in the crystallization separation tank 1 through the second delivery pump 14 from the circulation pipe and is sprayed out and evaporated and crystallized to precipitate sodium chloride crystals; this cycle is repeated to eliminate fine particles in the product.
