Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning and automated collection of nano-energetic materials, and relates to a continuous solid-liquid separation device and separation method for nano-energetic materials. Background Technology

[0002] There are various ways to prepare nanoscale energetic materials, mainly through mechanical ball milling and jet refining. The main problem encountered when separating and collecting nanoscale energetic materials obtained by mechanical ball milling and jet refining is that a large amount of suspension containing nanoscale energetic materials needs to be processed, and the materials need to be separated and collected quickly and efficiently while keeping the size of the nanoparticles from increasing significantly.

[0003] The separation and collection of nanoscale energetic materials in suspensions has been studied by relevant research institutions and some pyrotechnic product manufacturers both domestically and internationally. However, most studies are still in the laboratory preparation and small-batch production stages, primarily relying on filtration and washing for separation and collection. A patent authorized by Gansu Yinguang Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (CN114146477A) discloses a horizontal disc filter device for explosives, which uses a central rotating disc in conjunction with vacuum for filtration and separation of explosives, suitable for separating slurries with a large solid-liquid ratio. Some laboratories also use small vacuum filters in conjunction with membranes of specific pore sizes for vacuum filtration separation, or use high-speed centrifuges for centrifugal separation. These methods mainly have the following problems: (1) The nano-energetic materials prepared by jet refining have a small solid-liquid ratio and small particle size. Vacuum filtration takes a long time, the filter membrane is easily clogged, and the nanoparticle size is easy to grow.

[0004] (2) Nano energetic materials have a small specific gravity, require high speed of high-speed centrifuges, have a small single separation volume, are difficult to produce and apply on a large scale, and require secondary dispersion after the separated particles are accumulated.

[0005] (3) Using methods such as membrane filtration results in high loss of nano-energetic materials, making it difficult to improve the yield.

[0006] (4) It is difficult to carry out large-scale solid-liquid separation of energetic nanomaterials smaller than 300 nm. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The separation method of the above-mentioned continuous solid-liquid separation device for nanomaterials includes: S1. Suspension loading; S2, Suspension concentration; S3, enrichment of energetic materials; S4. Cleaning of energetic materials; S5. Collection of energetic materials.

[0013] In the above separation method, the specific operation steps in step S1 are as follows: Turn on the refrigeration unit and set the temperature to 0~5℃; turn on the deionized water machine; the feed solenoid valve in the suspension concentration device opens, and the nano-energetic material suspension in the storage tank flows into the centrifugal pump under the influence of gravity; at this time, the concentration tank solenoid valve closes, and the discharge three-way solenoid valve closes; start the centrifugal pump; open the drain solenoid valve, and pump the nano-energetic material suspension in the storage tank through the ceramic membrane tube assembly into the concentration tank; the liquid level sensor detects the liquid level in the concentration tank, and when the upper limit of the specified liquid level in the concentration tank is reached, close the feed solenoid valve.

[0014] In the above separation method, the specific operation steps in step S2 are as follows: Open the solenoid valve of the concentration tank. The suspension in the concentration tank is drawn out by the centrifugal pump and returned to the concentration tank through the ceramic membrane tube. The separated water is discharged through the drain solenoid valve. The speed of the centrifugal pump is controlled according to the pressure of the hydraulic gauge, thereby controlling the pressure difference inside and outside the ceramic membrane tube assembly. When the liquid level in the concentration tank drops to the specified lower limit, close the solenoid valve of the concentration tank and open the feed solenoid valve. The centrifugal pump continues to pump the suspension in the storage tank into the suspension concentration device for concentration. After the suspension reaches a concentration of 10 to 20 times after circulation concentration, the discharge three-way solenoid valve is opened, the feed solenoid valve is closed, and the concentration tank solenoid valve is opened. The concentrated suspension in the concentration tank is pumped into the circulation tank of the suspension separation device through the centrifugal pump and pipeline. After the concentration tank is emptied, close the discharge three-way solenoid valve and open the backflushing solenoid valve to flush the ceramic membrane tube assembly to ensure that there is no residue of nano-energetic materials. The flushing liquid is mixed with the subsequent suspension and concentration continues.

[0015] In the above separation method, the specific operation steps in step S3 are as follows: After the circulating tank contains enough concentrated suspension, the feed three-way solenoid valve is opened to control the flow direction of the concentrated suspension to the feed centrifugal pump. The feed centrifugal pump pumps the concentrated suspension into the separation tank through the pipeline. At this time, the backflushing solenoid valve is closed, the drain solenoid valve is closed, and the circulating solenoid valve is opened. The concentrated suspension returns to the circulating tank through the tubular membrane and the circulating solenoid valve, and the nano-energetic materials in the concentrated suspension are enriched on the surface of the tubular membrane.

[0016] In the above separation method, the specific operation steps in step S4 are as follows: After the energetic material has been enriched for 10-30 minutes, the feed centrifugal pump is turned off, the feed solenoid valve is turned off, the circulation solenoid valve is turned off, and the drain solenoid valve is turned on. The drain three-way solenoid valve is turned on to control the flow direction to the circulation tank, and the drain centrifugal pump is started. The suspension in the separation tank is drained to the circulation tank. The drain three-way solenoid valve is turned off, the feed three-way solenoid valve is turned on, and the flow direction is controlled to deionized water to the feed centrifugal pump. The deionized water is pumped into the separation tank to clean the nano-energetic material on the surface of the tubular membrane.

[0018] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: (1) The present invention uses a combination of sensor and solenoid valve to realize automated liquid delivery and processing; (2) The present invention adopts a two-step combination of concentration and separation, which can handle the separation of a large number of suspensions with a small solid-liquid ratio, improves the separation and collection efficiency, and the liquid can be concentrated to 1 / 10 of the volume. After separation, the mixture of nano energetic materials and deionized water is only concentrated to 1 / 5 of the volume and is not a suspension, which can achieve rapid filtration. (3) The present invention completes the cleaning of the nano-energetic materials during the production process, eliminating the need for secondary washing; (4) The present invention integrates backflushing function, which can realize the regeneration application of ceramic membrane tubes and tubular membranes in the concentration and separation process without frequent replacement; (5) The present invention is equipped with cooling jackets for key links. Combined with efficient liquid separation processing, it can process a large amount of solution in a short time. At the same time, low temperature insulation can ensure that the particle size of nanoparticles does not increase significantly in a short time. Attached Figure Description
