DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0024] If not specifically indicated, the technical means used in the examples is the conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-2 The present application discloses a modular combined extraction unit suitable for metal extraction metallurgy, comprising a main mixing chamber 1 and an auxiliary mixing chamber 2 communicating with the main mixing chamber 1. In addition to the main mixing chamber, 1- n auxiliary mixing chambers can be selected to be connected in series. The main mixing chamber and the auxiliary mixing chamber can be directly connected or connected by pipes or chutes. The main mixing chamber and the auxiliary mixing chamber can be made into square or cylindrical shape. The false bottom of the main mixing chamber and the auxiliary mixing chamber can be flat or dimple type. The dimple type false bottom can fully improve the pumping capacity of the stirrer and reduce the height of the main mixing chamber and the auxiliary mixing chamber. A partition is arranged in the false bottom to separate the organic phase and the aqueous phase and balance the pumping capacity of the pump in the organic phase and the aqueous phase. Alternatively, the bottom of the main mixing chamber and the auxiliary mixing chamber is a submerged chamber, which can be a flat submerged chamber or a dimple type submerged chamber. A partition is arranged in the submerged chamber.
[0026] Further, a stirrer 3 is arranged in the main mixing chamber 1 and the auxiliary mixing chamber 2 respectively. According to different technical conditions, the stirrer 3 is arranged as single-layer stirring, double-layer stirring or triple-layer stirring. The stirring impeller at the bottom layer of the main mixing chamber 1 is a pump suction type mixing stirring impeller. The stirring impeller is an open type impeller or a semi-open type impeller. The blades are straight blades or involute type blades. The stirring blades at the upper layer are straight blades or variable cross-section blades. The angle between the stirring blades and the solution plane in the main mixing chamber 1 is 30-90°.
[0027] Further, the auxiliary mixing chamber 2 is communicated with the liquid distribution tank 4 or liquid distribution pipe, at least one clarification chamber 5 is connected on the liquid distribution tank 4 or liquid distribution pipe, at least one clarification grid 6 and at least one clarification inclined plate 7 are arranged in the clarification chamber 5, the horizontal direction of the clarification inclined plate 7 is inclined at an angle of 0-60°, and the clarification chamber 5 is connected with the phase interface regulator 9 through the valve 10. Specifically, the clarification chamber can be a shallow pool (smaller than the depth of the main and auxiliary mixing chambers) or a deep pool (the same as the depth of the main and auxiliary mixing chambers). The clarification chamber can be divided into 1-n clarification chambers and arranged in parallel on one side of the liquid distribution tank 4 and communicated with the liquid distribution tank 4 through a pipeline, and the pipeline is provided with a control valve 8. The mixed liquid after extraction is poured into the liquid distribution tank from the last auxiliary mixing chamber through a chute, and the control valve 8 is used to control the entering of the clarification chamber. In addition to the n clarification grids arranged in the clarification chamber, n clarification inclined plates are also arranged, and the angle of the clarification inclined plate is 0-60° in the horizontal direction, so that the clarification effect is improved, the content of the organic phase in the water phase after clarification is reduced, and as one of the embodiments, the clarification grid is arranged between the two clarification inclined plates. The phase interface regulator can be a gate or a screw regulating valve, which is connected with the outlet pipeline of the clarification chamber, and the water phase outlet of each clarification chamber is connected with the water phase outlet pipeline. The phase interface regulator can adjust the height of the phase interface and the water phase return flow. As another embodiment, the liquid distribution tank can also be selected as a liquid distribution pipe.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The application discloses an extraction system comprising modular combined extraction units suitable for metal extraction metallurgy, the extraction units are arranged in sequence on the other side of the liquid distribution tank 4, the main mixing chamber on the increased extraction unit is communicated with the previous clarification chamber 5 between adjacent extraction units, and the auxiliary mixing chamber on the increased extraction unit is communicated with the liquid distribution tank 4 on the extraction unit. Specifically, the plurality of extraction units are arranged in series and can be combined into extraction, washing and reverse extraction sections with the same function. Figure 3 For example, the main mixing chamber on the second extraction unit is communicated with the clarification chamber of the first extraction unit (when the clarification chamber is multiple, a plurality of pipelines are arranged to be communicated with the clarification chambers respectively), the main mixing chamber on the third extraction unit is communicated with the clarification chamber of the second extraction unit, and the arrangement mode of other extraction units is the same. The auxiliary mixing chamber 2 is communicated with the liquid distribution tank of each extraction unit. The phase interface regulators arranged on the second extraction unit are communicated with the main mixing chambers on the first and second extraction units respectively.
[0029] When it is required to improve the production capacity of the extraction system or the clarification time is required to be relatively long, the auxiliary mixing chamber and the clarification chamber can be further developed to rapidly reach the required production capacity. Different extraction sections can form a complete extraction system. The pipelines and valves are connected between the mixing chambers, between the clarification chambers and between the clarification chambers and the liquid distribution tank. For example, Figure 4The auxiliary mixing chambers 2 can be provided in plurality, connected in series in sequence directly or through pipes, the auxiliary mixing chamber 2 at the starting end is communicated with the main mixing chamber 1, and the auxiliary mixing chamber 2 at the tail end (or the last stage) is communicated with the liquid distribution groove 4 through a chute. The solution is uniformly distributed into each clarification chamber through a control valve. The mixed solution into a single or multiple clarification chambers can be controlled according to the production requirements. The outlet of the clarification chamber 5 is communicated with an expanded clarification chamber 11 through a pipe, and a valve is arranged on the pipe as required.
