Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of stainless steel cold rolling, in particular to a stainless steel rolling oil sludge separation system and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of cold-rolled stainless steel strip, mineral oil is generally used as the cooling and lubricating medium due to the high requirements for surface quality. While playing the roles of cooling and lubrication, the rolling oil will take away the metal debris generated on the surface of the stainless steel. To realize the recycling of the rolling oil, it is usually required to pass through primary and secondary filters in sequence and perform backwashing operation on the filter core. The oil liquid after backwashing enters an intermediate settling oil tank, and solid impurities are separated by means of three-stage gravity natural sedimentation; the solid-liquid mixture (sludge) formed by sedimentation is discharged from the bottom valve and pumped to a sludge tank for secondary gravity sedimentation. Finally, the sludge discharged from the bottom of the sludge tank is treated as solid waste.

[0003] Currently, there are some patented technologies in this field related to rolling oil filtration or sludge treatment, such as using centrifugal separation, magnetic adsorption or precision filtration to improve the cleanliness of the oil. However, most of the existing technologies still rely on gravity natural sedimentation as the core separation method, or although auxiliary treatment measures are introduced, the problems of low sedimentation efficiency and high oil content in the sludge cannot be effectively solved.

[0004] The existing process has the following outstanding problems: the separation efficiency of gravity natural sedimentation is low, and the discharge speed of solid particles is lower than the new speed, resulting in continuous accumulation of sludge in the intermediate oil tank and the sludge tank, which requires manual cleaning of the sludge adhered to the tank wall and the tank wall every half year, increasing the maintenance cost and downtime. In addition, in order to maintain the fluidity of the sludge, the oil content of the sludge discharged from the bottom valve of the sludge tank (3) is usually not less than 50% (measured by 350℃ high-temperature burning loss method, reduced weight / weight before burning). As solid waste treatment, high-oil sludge not only wastes rolling oil, but also significantly increases the treatment cost of solid waste. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing separation technology. SUMMARY

[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a use method of the stainless steel rolling oil sludge separation system.

[0008] a buffer tank for sedimentation of the sludge, the oil inlet being in communication with an external filter tank;

[0009] A sedimentation tank assembly, with its inlet connected to the outlet of a buffer tank, is used for secondary sedimentation of sludge from the buffer tank.

[0015] Preferably, a clean oil pump is provided between the centrifuge and the sludge storage tank.

[0016] To facilitate the separation of oil sludge, preferably, the sedimentation tank assembly is provided with multiple partitions, which divide the sedimentation tank into multiple sedimentation chambers. Adjacent sedimentation chambers are connected by an overflow gap. There are multiple sedimentation chambers, which are arranged sequentially.

[0017] Preferably, along the overflow direction of the oil in the sedimentation tank group, the last sedimentation chamber has an oil outlet, and the oil outlet of the sedimentation chamber is connected to the oil inlet of the buffer tank.

[0018] Preferably, a secondary filter pump is provided between the oil outlet of the sedimentation chamber and the oil inlet of the buffer oil tank.

[0019] To increase the discharge of sludge from the sedimentation chamber and reduce the residence time of sludge in the sedimentation chamber, thereby avoiding the residue of sludge on the walls of the sedimentation chamber, preferably, each sedimentation chamber is provided with a drain outlet at the bottom, and the drain outlet of the sedimentation chamber is connected to the oil inlet of the sludge tank; a sludge pump is provided between the drain outlet of the sedimentation chamber and the oil inlet of the sludge tank.

[0020] To further separate the oil sludge, preferably, a secondary filter tank is also included between the buffer tank and the sludge tank. The secondary filter tank is equipped with a filter element, and the drain outlet of the secondary filter tank is connected to the sludge tank.

[0021] In order to enable the self-separation system to recover clean oil, preferably, a dirty oil tank is also included, and the oil outlet of the secondary filter tank is connected to the dirty oil tank.

[0022] Preferably, a drain pump is provided between the sludge storage tank and the buffer oil tank, and the drain pump is used to transport the oil from the top of the sludge storage tank to the buffer oil tank.

[0023] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: a method of using the aforementioned stainless steel rolling oil-sludge separation system, characterized by including the following steps:

[0024] ① The oil sludge mixture is placed in the buffer tank. After the oil sludge mixture settles, the upper layer of sludge overflows into the sedimentation tank group.

[0028] ⑤ After the centrifuge has been stationary for 100-150 seconds, turn on the centrifuge, scrape off the sludge 7-12 times with a scraper, and then turn off the centrifuge.

[0029] ⑥ Calculate the time taken for steps ③-⑤. If the time taken for steps ③-⑤ is less than 8 hours, or if the amount of sludge scraped off by the centrifuge is greater than or equal to 1 kg, then repeat steps ③-⑤.

[0030] If the time taken for steps ③-⑤ is ≥8 hours, or the amount of sludge scraped out by the centrifuge is <1KG, then stop the mixer and enter the static liquid mode.

[0031] ⑦ The settling time in static mode is 4-6 hours. After settling, the upper layer of oil is removed from the sludge storage tank.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: firstly, the oil sludge is separated by multiple sedimentation through a settling tank group, a buffer oil tank and a sludge tank, and then the sludge oil sent from the sludge tank is separated into solid and liquid by a centrifuge.

The process is simple, the structure is simple, it is easy to operate and has low operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0050] ② Start the mixer 5 to uniformly mix the oil sludge in the oil sludge storage tank 4;

[0051] ③ When the sludge storage tank 4 reaches the first liquid level, turn off the sludge pump 9 and start the clean oil pump 7 and centrifuge 6. The centrifuge 6 starts the clean liquid separation mode at 3000 rpm and 1650-1750G centrifugal force. After the separation is completed, stop the centrifuge 6.
