Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent belongs to the field of magnetic porous carbon adsorption material preparation technology, specifically an integrated preparation device for preparing magnetic porous carbon based on coal gangue and straw. Background Technology

[0002] Straw is difficult to recycle in nature. If it is burned, it will cause great harm to nature and pollute the air. Moreover, biochar usually enters the environment in the form of fine particles with low density, which makes it easy to disperse in soil and water and difficult to separate.

[0003] At present, magnetic porous carbon adsorption materials are mostly used in the field of environmental remediation. They can be used for the adsorption of heavy metals in soil and have a wide range of applications. Therefore, the preparation efficiency and effect of the materials cannot be ignored. In order to ensure the quality of magnetic porous carbon while meeting the requirements of large-scale production, integrated preparation equipment is particularly important.

[0004] The preparation of magnetic porous carbon materials requires a series of operations such as high-temperature carbonization, ball milling, magnetic separation purification, washing and drying. Existing preparation devices are few, inefficient and have low safety. In order to realize the integrated production of magnetic porous carbon materials and reduce the loss of manpower and material resources, we propose an integrated preparation device for preparing magnetic porous carbon based on coal gangue and straw. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the liquid circulation system, the wastewater in the magnetic separation box after magnetic separation enters the centrifuge through the inlet pipe. Centrifugation separates the solid and liquid. After centrifugation, the liquid enters the feed branch pipe through the outlet pipe and then enters the magnetic separation box for recycling. Impurities need to be prepared and scraped off with a scraper.

[0011] Both the inlet and outlet pipes are equipped with automatic telescopic shells to control the expansion and contraction of the pipes before and after the centrifugation process.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The objectives and technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following is a complete description. It should be noted that the following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The embodiments of the present invention include: An integrated preparation device for preparing magnetic porous carbon based on coal gangue and straw includes a feeding system I, a carbonization system II, a ball milling system III, a liquid circulation system IV, a magnetic separation system V, and a drying system VI. This invention designs an integrated preparation device for magnetic porous carbon adsorbent materials, recycling wastewater to achieve efficient integrated preparation of the material in a green and environmentally friendly manner.

[0022] The feeding system includes a storage unit 1 and a feeding pipe. For powdery materials, a powder conveying pipe 3 is provided, and a powder conveying pump 4 is provided at the outlet of the pipe. When the powder conveying pipe valve 2 and the powder conveying pump 4 are opened, the material particles are conveyed in the airflow direction in the closed pipe by using the dynamic and static pressure of the air.

[0023] The carbonization device includes a tubular furnace 5, an inert gas valve 51, a gas supply pipe 52, a heating wire 53, a discharge pipe 54, a tubular furnace valve 55, and a material conveying pump 56. The tubular furnace has two layers, an inner and an outer layer. The heating wire 54 is embedded in the outer layer and is insulated from the inner wall of the furnace tube to avoid short circuits. An inert gas valve 51 is installed at the upper end of the tubular furnace 5. Inert gas is introduced into the tubular furnace and the entire device through the gas supply pipe 52 to provide an inert gas atmosphere for stable material reaction. After high-temperature carbonization, the tubular furnace valve 55 and the material conveying pump 56 are opened. The dynamic and static pressure of the air is used to transport the carbonized material into the ball mill feed inlet 601 in the closed pipe along the airflow direction.

[0024] The ball milling system includes a ball mill 6, a ball mill inlet 601, a micro rotary agitator 602, an inlet pipe valve 603, a conveying pipe 604, a ball mill jar 605, a filter screen 606, a gas supply valve 607, a gas supply pipe 608, an exhaust port 609, a discharge pipe valve 610, a material conveying pump 611, and a discharge pipe 612. The ball mill inlet 601 is formed by combining the powder conveying pipe 3 and the discharge pipe 54. The micro rotary agitator 602 is installed at the ball mill inlet 601 and consists of several blades. During operation, it rotates and stirs the material. After all the material enters, it is roughly broken up by the micro rotary agitator 602, so that the material is in full contact and does not clump, making it easier to enter the ball mill jar 605 for ball milling. After ball milling, open the gas supply valve 607. The waste gas is discharged from the exhaust port 609 through the gas supply pipe 608 along with the inert gas flow. The exhaust is carried out in the laboratory fume hood. A filter screen 606 is installed at the end of the ball mill jar 605 to prevent material from being lost with the air flow. After a period of time, close the inert gas valve 51 and open the total material delivery pump 611. The total material passes through the discharge pipe 612.

[0025] The magnetic separation system includes a magnetic separation box 7, a feed branch pipe 71, a robotic arm 72, an electromagnet 73, a plastic sheet 74, a storage box 75, a main material discharge pipe 76, a main material discharge pipe valve 77, and a main material conveying pump 78. The material enters the magnetic separation box 7 through the feed branch pipe 71. Initially, water is added to the magnetic separation box 7. The electromagnet 73 at the end of the robotic arm 72 is wrapped in the plastic sheet 74 and immersed in the suspension to adsorb magnetic porous carbon. After the magnetic separation is completed, the robotic arm 72 moves the electromagnet 73 above the storage box 75. The power is turned off, causing the electromagnet 73 to lose its magnetism, and the material falls into the storage box 75, completing the collection of the material.

[0026] The liquid circulation system includes a centrifuge 8, a centrifuge tank 81, a liquid input pump 82, an inlet pipe valve 83, a delivery pipe 84, an outlet pipe 85, an outlet pipe valve 86, a liquid transfer pump 87, and an automatic telescopic device 88. After magnetic separation, the inlet pipe valve 83 is opened, the liquid input pump 82 is started, and wastewater enters the centrifuge tank 81. The automatic telescopic device 88 retracts upwards and leaves the centrifuge 8, and the centrifuge tank 81 is started. After centrifugation, the automatic telescopic device 88 lowers the outlet pipe into the centrifuge 8, the outlet pipe valve 86 is opened, and the liquid transfer pump 87 is started. The processed liquid enters the magnetic separator 7 through the inlet branch pipe 71 via the outlet pipe 85, realizing the recycling of the liquid. After the preparation of impurities in the centrifuge 8 is completed, they are scraped off with a scraper.

[0027] The drying system includes a heating wire 18 and a blower box 19, and the dryer inlet is connected to the storage box 145.

[0028] The process for preparing magnetic porous carbon adsorbent materials using coal gangue as an example is as follows: In the storage unit, from left to right are iron(III) oxide and agate balls.

[0029] Open the powder conveying pipeline valve 2, start the powder conveying pump 4, add coal gangue and ferric oxide into the ball mill 6, add straw and coal gangue into the tubular furnace through the pipe opening, after high-temperature carbonization, open the tubular furnace valve 55, start the material conveying pump 56, add the carbonized material into the ball mill jar, open the feed inlet valve 603, start the ball mill 6, after the ball milling is completed, open the discharge pipeline valve 610, start the material conveying pump 611, and the material enters the magnetic separator 7.

[0030] After the material enters the magnetic separator 7, the gas supply valve 607 is opened, and the waste gas is discharged from the exhaust port 609 through the gas supply pipe 608. After a period of time, the inert gas valve 51 is closed.

[0031] The material enters the magnetic separator 7 through the discharge pipe 612 and the feed branch pipe 71. Water is added to the magnetic separator 7 at the beginning. The electromagnet 73 at the end of the robotic arm 72 is wrapped in plastic skin 74 and immersed in the suspension to adsorb magnetic porous carbon. After the magnetic separation is completed, the robotic arm 72 moves the electromagnet 73 to the top of the storage box 75. The power is turned off to make the electromagnet 73 lose its magnetism and the material falls into the storage box 75.

[0032] After magnetic separation is completed, open the inlet pipe valve 83, start the liquid input pump 82, and the wastewater enters the centrifuge tank 81. The automatic telescopic device 88 retracts upward and leaves the centrifuge 8. Start the centrifuge tank 81. After centrifugation, the automatic telescopic device 88 drives the outlet pipe down into the centrifuge 8. Open the outlet pipe valve 86 and start the liquid transfer pump 87. The treated liquid enters the magnetic separation box 7 through the inlet branch pipe 71 via the outlet pipe 85. After the impurities in the centrifuge 8 are prepared, they are scraped off with a scraper.

[0033] Open the main material discharge pipe valve 77, start the main material conveying pump 78, the material enters the dryer, start the dryer, and obtain magnetic porous carbon. It should be noted that the air box 10 is only opened in the early stage of drying to accelerate moisture separation. After the moisture is basically evaporated, the air box is closed.

[0034] It should be emphasized that the preparation of this experiment must be carried out in a laboratory fume hood, or the exhaust should be discharged through an exhaust pipe connected to exhaust port 609. Attention should be paid to personnel safety and waste gas treatment.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that the above description only illustrates one embodiment of this application, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be pointed out that any simple modifications or equivalent variations made without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this invention are within the scope of this invention.
