[0023] Cobalt sulfate is an important raw material for the preparation of lithium battery cathode materials, catalysts, and ceramic glazes. In its production process, a flash crystallizer is commonly used to crystallize cobalt sulfate crystals from a concentrated solution. This equipment boils the solution by instantaneously reducing pressure, rapidly evaporating water and cooling the solution, thereby precipitating crystals. However, during the flash evaporation process, the cobalt sulfate solution readily forms hard scale on the internal surfaces of the crystallizer, especially on the walls, guide plates, circulation cylinder, and sight glasses. This scale, primarily composed of cobalt sulfate, can lead to reduced efficiency, lower production capacity, and decreased product purity. Frequent shutdowns for maintenance and mechanical or chemical cleaning are required, resulting in material waste, increased costs, and significant safety risks for operators.

[0024] Therefore, the present invention proposes a cleaning system.

[0025] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning system includes a flash crystallizer 1, a steam heating device 2, a heat exchanger 3, and a rinsing device 4; the steam heating device 2 forms a heating flow path for generating steam; the heat exchanger 3 forms a first heat exchange flow channel section and a second heat exchange flow channel section capable of exchanging heat with each other, the first heat exchange flow channel section is located on the heating flow path, the second heat exchange flow channel section carries material, and the end of the second heat exchange flow channel section is connected to the flash crystallizer 1 for inputting material into the flash crystallizer 1; the rinsing device 4 has a rinsing pipe 41, the rinsing pipe 41 is located on the heating flow path and is connected to the first heat exchange flow channel section, the rinsing pipe 41 carries condensate, the end of the rinsing pipe 41 extends into the flash crystallizer 1, and is connected to a rinsing nozzle 42 facing the interior of the flash crystallizer 1.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, a steam heating device 2 is provided to supply steam as a heat source. The steam is then fed into the first heat exchange channel section of the heat exchanger 3 through a heating flow path, allowing the material flowing in the second heat exchange channel section to exchange heat with the steam, thereby heating the material and turning the steam into high-temperature condensate. The condensate from the first heat exchange channel section can then be discharged into a flushing pipe 41. The end of the flushing pipe 41 extends into the flash crystallizer 1 and is connected to a flushing nozzle 42, allowing the high-temperature condensate in the flushing pipe 41 to be sprayed out through the flushing nozzle 42 to flush the inner wall of the flash crystallizer 1. The temperature and water flow impact force are used to dissolve and peel off the cobalt sulfate scale. This embodiment improves the cleaning effect of cobalt sulfate scale in the flash crystallizer 1 and reduces safety risks by sending the high-temperature condensate from the heat exchanger 3 into the flash crystallizer 1 through the flushing pipe 41 for cleaning cobalt sulfate scale.

[0027] It should be noted that the high-temperature condensate discharged from heat exchanger 3 is between 80°C and 95°C. The flushing device 4 can use the high temperature of the condensate to accelerate the dissolution of cobalt sulfate scale. The material flowing in the second heat exchange channel section of heat exchanger 3 is set as cobalt sulfate feed liquid to provide raw materials for flash crystallizer 1.

[0028] Understandably, the scale is a solid substance mainly composed of cobalt sulfate, which adheres to the inside of the flash crystallizer.

[0029] In one embodiment, a recovery tank 5 is provided in the heating flow path, and the recovery tank 5 is located between the heat exchanger 3 and the flushing nozzle 42.

[0030] In embodiments of the present invention, by setting up a recovery tank 5, the condensate generated during material heat exchange in the heat exchanger 3 can be collected, and then when cleaning is required, the condensate in the recovery tank 5 can be discharged for rinsing when material heat exchange and flash crystallizer 1 feeding are stopped.

[0031] It is understood that the recycling tank 5 can be configured as a tank with heat preservation function to reduce the heat loss of condensate. For example, it can be configured as a tank with vacuum jacket or coated with heat preservation coating, or it can be configured as other tanks with heat preservation function. This invention does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0032] In one embodiment, the cleaning system further includes a solution recovery pipeline 6 and a solution concentration meter. The solution recovery pipeline 6 is connected to the drain port of the flash crystallizer 1 to discharge the cleaning waste liquid in the flash crystallizer 1. The solution concentration meter is installed in the solution recovery pipeline 6 to detect the concentration of the cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline 6.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, by setting up a solution recovery pipeline 6, the cleaning waste liquid generated after being cleaned with condensate water in the flash crystallizer 1 can be transported; at the same time, this embodiment also sets up a solution concentration detector, which can detect the concentration of the cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline 6, and then determine whether it needs to be recycled.

[0034] It is understandable that the cleaning waste liquid is a mixture of high-temperature condensate and the dissolved cobalt sulfate scale inside the flash crystallizer 1.

[0035] In one embodiment, a drain valve is installed on the solution recovery pipeline 6, which is electrically connected to a solution concentration meter. The drain valve is used to control the flow of cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline 6 to the wastewater treatment station 7; and / or, a transfer pump is installed on the solution recovery pipeline 6, which is electrically connected to a solution concentration meter. The transfer pump is used to control the flow of solution in the solution recovery pipeline 6 to the raw material tank 8, which is connected to the second heat exchange flow channel section of the heat exchanger 3. The raw material tank 8 is used to recover the cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline 6.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, by setting a drain valve, when the concentration detected by the solution concentration meter does not meet the recovery requirements, the cleaning waste liquid can be discharged into the wastewater treatment station 7 using the drain valve; this embodiment also includes a transfer pump, which is started when the concentration detected by the solution concentration meter meets the recovery requirements to send the cleaning waste liquid into the raw material tank 8. The raw material tank 8 is connected to the second heat exchange flow channel section of the heat exchanger 3, so that the recovered solution can be sent into the heat exchanger 3 for heat exchange and then transported as raw material to the flash crystallizer 1.

[0037] It should be noted that the above-mentioned related technical features, such as "a drain valve is installed on the solution recovery pipeline 6, which is electrically connected to the solution concentration meter, and the drain valve is used to control the flow of cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline 6 to the wastewater treatment station 7" and "a transfer pump is installed on the solution recovery pipeline 6, which is electrically connected to the solution concentration meter, and the transfer pump is used to control the flow of solution in the solution recovery pipeline 6 to the raw material tank 8, which is connected to the second heat exchange flow channel section of the heat exchanger 3, and the raw material tank 8 is used to recover the cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline 6", can be selected or installed simultaneously, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0038] In one embodiment, the flushing device 4 further includes a high-pressure flushing pump, which is installed in the flushing pipeline 41 and is used to adjust the water pressure of the condensate in the flushing pipeline 41.

[0039] In embodiments of the present invention, by setting a high-pressure flushing pump, the water pressure of the condensate in the flushing pipe 41 can be increased, thereby increasing the impact force of the condensate during flushing and improving the flushing and peeling effect on the structure.

[0040] In one embodiment, a plurality of rinsing nozzles 42 are provided, and the plurality of rinsing nozzles 42 are configured as rotatable nozzles.

[0041] In embodiments of the present invention, by providing multiple flushing nozzles 42, the flushing nozzles 42 can be respectively positioned toward multiple easily scaled areas within the flash crystallizer 1. For example, in this embodiment, the flushing nozzles 42 can be positioned toward multiple locations such as the flash chamber wall, guide plate, circulation cylinder, and sight glass, etc. The present invention does not limit this. At the same time, in this embodiment, the flushing nozzles 42 are rotatable nozzles, which can adjust the orientation and thus adjust the flushing area, thereby increasing the flushing range.

[0042] It is understood that the flushing pipe 41 in this embodiment may also be provided with multiple branch pipes, which can be connected to multiple flushing nozzles 42 respectively to perform flushing operations.

[0043] In one embodiment, the flushing nozzle 42 is at least partially equipped with a spherical nozzle 421; and / or, the flushing nozzle 42 is at least partially equipped with a high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle.

[0044] See appendix Figure 3 In the embodiments of the present invention, by setting a spherical nozzle 421 or a high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle, it is easier to rotate and adjust, and the condensate pumped by the high-pressure flushing pump can be used for flushing. Specifically, this embodiment takes the spherical nozzle 421 as an example. In this embodiment, multiple flushing nozzles 42 are provided, and spherical nozzles 421 are installed on the multiple flushing nozzles 42 for flushing. Each flushing nozzle 42 contains eight spherical nozzles 421.

[0045] It should be noted that the above-mentioned related technical features, such as "the rinsing nozzle 42 is at least partially equipped with a spherical nozzle 421" and "the rinsing nozzle 42 is at least partially equipped with a high-pressure fan-shaped nozzle", can be selected or simultaneously provided, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0046] In one embodiment, a temperature maintaining device is installed on the flushing pipe 41 to maintain the temperature of the condensate in the flushing pipe 41.

[0047] In embodiments of the present invention, by providing a temperature maintaining device on the flushing pipe 41, the temperature loss of condensate can be reduced.

[0048] It is understood that the temperature maintaining device in this embodiment can be configured as a heat tracing pipe or other structure or device that can maintain temperature. Specifically, under the action of the temperature maintaining device, the temperature of the condensate sprayed from the flushing nozzle 42 should be controlled above 70°C to ensure the dissolution efficiency of the scale.

[0049] In one embodiment, the cleaning system further includes a differential pressure sensor installed inside the flash crystallizer 1 to monitor the thickness of scale inside the flash crystallizer 1.

[0050] In embodiments of the present invention, cleaning can be performed periodically during short production stops or intervals according to the production cycle; alternatively, a differential pressure sensor can be installed to monitor the scale thickness and cleaning can be performed based on the scale thickness signal.

[0051] See appendix Figure 4 This invention provides a cleaning control method for a cleaning system. The cleaning system's specific structure is described in the above embodiments. Since this cleaning control method employs all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here. The cleaning control of the cleaning system includes the following steps: Start the flushing device and spray condensate towards the scale buildup inside the flash crystallizer; It is understandable that the flushing device can be activated periodically during short production stops or intervals based on the production cycle; alternatively, a differential pressure sensor can be installed to monitor the scale thickness and activate the flushing device based on the scale thickness signal. It should be understood that before starting the flushing device, the feed to the flash crystallizer should be suspended, and the system should be kept at a low temperature and low pressure to avoid affecting the flushing effect.

[0052] It should be noted that the sprayed condensate can be controlled at at least 70 degrees Celsius using a temperature maintenance device to ensure effective dissolution of scale. Acquire the solution concentration signal from the solution concentration detector; It should be noted that the solution concentration signal detected by this solution concentration detector is the concentration signal of cobalt sulfate in the cleaning waste liquid; When the concentration signal meets the reuse conditions, the transfer pump is controlled to operate to transport the cleaning waste liquid in the solution recovery pipeline to the raw material tank. It is understood that, in this embodiment, the reuse condition is that the concentration of cobalt sulfate in the concentration signal is higher than 1.32 g / L.

[0053] When the concentration signal meets the discharge conditions, the drain valve is opened to transport the flushed solution in the solution recovery pipeline to the wastewater treatment station.

[0054] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the emission condition is that the concentration of cobalt sulfate in the concentration signal is less than 1.32 g / L.

[0055] It should be understood that after the flushing solution is discharged or recycled, the flushing system can be shut down and the equipment inspected to quickly resume production.

[0056] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, mobile phone, PLC control cabinet, etc.; or a control terminal for a cleaning control method of a cleaning system capable of realizing the above functions, specifically, such as... Figure 5As shown, the cleaning control method control terminal of this cleaning system may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005.

Optionally, the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0057] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 5 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the control terminal of the cleaning system and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the memory 1005, as a storage medium, may include an operating system, a data storage module, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a cleaning control program based on the cleaning system.
