Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mixing equipment technology, specifically relating to a powder dissolving kettle with a disperser and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Powder dissolving kettles are devices specifically designed to improve the dissolution efficiency of powdered substances. However, in industrial applications, situations often arise where powdered raw materials have low solubility, making them difficult to completely dissolve under normal conditions. To address this problem, methods commonly employed by those skilled in the art include heating and stirring (e.g.,...). Figure 1 (As shown), pressure control, the use of surfactants, and increasing solvent usage are all methods. These methods, used alone, often fail to achieve the desired results, therefore a combination of at least two methods is frequently necessary, such as heating, stirring, and increasing solvent usage. Increasing solvent usage often complicates post-treatment processes, increasing both wastewater discharge and post-treatment costs.

[0101] Example 1
[0102] like Figures 2-6As shown, this invention provides a powder dissolving vessel with a disperser, comprising a dissolving vessel body 1, a powder inlet pipe 2 connected to the top surface of the dissolving vessel body 1, and a powder guide shell 3 disposed within the dissolving vessel body 1; the powder inlet pipe 2 is located above the powder guide shell 3. The dissolving vessel body 1 includes, from top to bottom, an upper end cap, a cylindrical body, and a cone. Specifically, in this embodiment, the powder inlet pipe 2 is connected to the top surface of the upper end cap in the dissolving vessel body 1, and the powder guide shell 3 is connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical body in the dissolving vessel body 1. The powder inlet pipe 2 is connected to a powder inlet pipeline, and further connected to a pneumatic powder conveying system. Preferably, the powder inlet pipe 2 includes a straight section and a flared section 21 connected vertically, so that the powder material in the powder inlet pipeline is diffused through the flared section 21 and uniformly dispersed in the cross-section of the dissolving vessel body 1. The flared section 21 is disposed within the top of the dissolving vessel body 1. The powder guide shell 3 is a hollow cone with an open bottom surface, guiding the powder through its outer circumference so that the powder moves downwards along the outer circumference. More preferably, the height of the powder guide shell 3 is 65-85% of the height of the dissolving vessel body 1, preferably 75-80%; and / or, the diameter of the bottom surface of the powder guide shell 3 is 50-70% of the inner diameter of the dissolving vessel body 1, preferably 55-65%; and / or, the diameter of the bottom surface of the powder inlet pipe 2 is 20-40% of the inner diameter of the dissolving vessel body 1, preferably 25-35%.
[0103] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top surface of the powder guide shell 3 is arc-shaped, eliminating dead corners and preventing powder material from accumulating on the top surface of the powder guide shell 3. Preferably, the complementary angle of the half-apex angle of the top surface of the powder guide shell 3 is greater than the angle of repose of the powder, and more preferably, the half-apex angle of the top surface of the powder guide shell 3 is smaller than the angle of repose of the powder, to further ensure that the powder does not remain on the powder guide shell 3. More preferably, the diameter of the top surface of the powder guide shell 3 is 50-80% of the inner diameter of the bottom surface of the horn section 21 of the powder inlet pipe, preferably 60-70%; here, "diameter of the top surface of the powder guide shell 3" refers to the diameter at the connection between the arc-shaped top surface of the powder guide shell 3 and the cone-shaped body of the powder guide shell 3. More preferably, the powder inlet pipe 2 is coaxially arranged with the dissolving vessel body 1; and / or, the powder inlet pipe 2 is connected to the top surface of the dissolving vessel body 1; and / or, the powder guide shell 3 is connected to the inner side wall of the dissolving vessel body 1; and / or, the powder guide shell 3 is coaxially arranged with the dissolving vessel body 1.
[0104] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the powder guide shell 3 is connected to the dissolving vessel body 1 via a rib assembly and a support beam assembly.

Figure 4 As shown, the rib assembly includes multiple ribs 41 at the same vertical height. One end of each rib 41 is connected to the outer wall of the powder guide shell 3, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1. Preferably, the spacing between adjacent ribs 41 is the same. More preferably, the top surface of each rib 41 is a cone apex, and the included angle of the cone apex is the same as the apex angle of the powder guide shell 3, further preventing powder material from accumulating above the rib 41. Figure 5 As shown, the support beam assembly includes multiple support beams 42 at the same vertical height. Each support beam 42 passes through the powder guide shell 3 and is connected at both ends to the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1. The intersections of the multiple support beams 42 are fixedly connected, specifically by welding. Preferably, the length of the support beam is the same as the inner diameter of the dissolving vessel body; and / or, the included angle between two adjacent support beams 42 is the same. More preferably, the top surface of the support beam 42 is a conical apex (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown in the diagram, the included angle of the cone apex is the same as the apex angle of the powder guide shell 3, further preventing powder material from accumulating above the support beam 42. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The central stiffener assembly includes four equally spaced stiffeners 41 at the same vertical height. Figure 4 The middle support beam assembly includes two mutually perpendicular support beams 42 at the same vertical height, but this does not constitute a limitation on the stiffening plate assembly and the support beam assembly.
[0105] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a top saturated steam jetting element 5 is provided inside the dissolving vessel body 1 to purge the powder material fed by pneumatic conveying. Specifically, in this embodiment, the top surface of the upper end cap of the dissolving vessel body 1 is provided with the top saturated steam jetting element 5. The top saturated steam jetting element 5 includes a top saturated steam inlet and a top saturated steam nozzle assembly; preferably, the top saturated steam nozzle assembly includes multiple top saturated steam nozzles. The top saturated steam inlet is located outside the dissolving vessel body 1 and is connected to a saturated steam inlet pipeline. The top saturated steam nozzle assembly is connected to the inner wall of the flared section 21 of the powder inlet pipe, and the inlet end of each top saturated steam nozzle is connected to the saturated steam inlet pipe. More preferably, each top saturated steam nozzle in the top saturated steam nozzle assembly is inclined downward and faces the axis of the dissolving vessel body 1. Most preferably, the plurality of top saturated steam nozzles are arranged in a ring on the inner sidewall of the flared section of the powder inlet pipe; and / or, the spacing between two adjacent top saturated steam nozzles is the same; and / or, the top saturated steam nozzle group composed of the plurality of top saturated steam nozzles is coaxially arranged with the dissolving vessel body 1.
[0106] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the top saturated steam nozzle assembly in the top saturated steam injection component 5 is provided with a total of four top saturated steam nozzles. Figure 3 (Only two are shown in the image). The top saturated steam nozzle group, consisting of four top saturated steam nozzles, is circular and coaxially arranged with the dissolving vessel body 1; the spacing between two adjacent top saturated steam nozzles is the same; Figure 3 The two top saturated steam nozzles shown are both tilted downwards and toward the axis of the dissolving vessel body 1. However, this is merely an illustrative example of the present invention, and the number and angle of the top saturated steam nozzles do not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
[0107] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a powder distribution mesh 6 is provided inside the dissolving vessel body 1, and the powder distribution mesh 6 is located below the powder inlet pipe 2 and above the powder guide shell 3 (e.g., Figure 3As shown, the powder distribution mesh 6 is connected to the dissolving vessel body 1, preferably to the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1. Specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the powder distribution mesh 6 is connected to the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1 to facilitate uniform powder distribution. In this embodiment, the powder material in the powder inlet pipe is uniformly distributed onto the powder distribution mesh 6 via the bell-shaped section 21 of the powder inlet pipe, and then enters the cylindrical section of the dissolving vessel body 1. Preferably, the mesh count of the powder distribution mesh 6 is not less than 5 mesh, more preferably 10-25 mesh, to avoid powder material clogging the mesh openings of the powder distribution mesh 6. If the mesh count of the powder distribution mesh 6 is too high, the mesh openings will be too small, easily causing powder material clogging; if the mesh count of the powder distribution mesh 6 is too low, the distribution purpose cannot be achieved. It should be noted that, firstly, those skilled in the art can determine the mesh size of the powder distribution mesh 6 based on the particle size of the powder; secondly, those skilled in the art can set the number and angle of the top saturated steam nozzles according to the specifications of the dissolving vessel body 1, so that the spray area of the top saturated steam nozzle group can cover the entire plane of the powder distribution mesh 6, thereby improving the powder agitation ability and preventing powder residue on the powder distribution mesh 6.
[0108] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dissolving vessel body 1 is provided with a plurality of central saturated steam injectors, which are located below the powder distribution mesh 6. All of the plurality of central saturated steam injectors are connected to the inner sidewall of the dissolving vessel body 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cylinder of the dissolving vessel body 1 is provided with a plurality of central saturated steam injectors, all of which are connected to the inner sidewall of the cylinder of the dissolving vessel body 1. Preferably, the plurality of central saturated steam injectors are parallel to each other and arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Specifically, in this embodiment, the axes of the plurality of central saturated steam injectors are all perpendicular to the horizontal plane. More preferably, the spacing between two adjacent central saturated steam injectors is the same.
[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, the dissolving vessel body 1 is equipped with three central saturated steam injection elements. The outer circumferential surfaces of the three central saturated steam injection elements are all connected to the inner sidewall of the dissolving vessel body 1. The axes of the three central saturated steam injection elements are all perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the three central saturated steam injection elements are arranged at equal intervals. However, this is only an illustrative example and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can determine the number of central saturated steam injection elements based on the height of the dissolving vessel body 1, especially the length of the cylinder in the dissolving vessel body 1. For ease of description, [the following is a simplified description]. Figure 2 The three central saturated steam injectors are named the first central saturated steam injector 71, the second central saturated steam injector 72, and the third central saturated steam injector 73, respectively.
[0110] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the central saturated steam injectors includes a central saturated steam injector body, a central saturated steam inlet connected to the outer side of the central saturated steam injector body, and a central saturated steam nozzle assembly connected to the inner side of the central saturated steam injector body. Preferably, the central saturated steam injector body is an annular tube; and / or, the central saturated steam injector body is coaxially arranged with the dissolving vessel body 1; and / or, the spacing between two adjacent central saturated steam nozzle assemblies is the same.

The distance between the first central saturated steam injector 71 and the second central saturated steam injector 72 is the same, and the distance between the second central saturated steam injector 72 and the third central saturated steam injector 73 is the same.
[0112] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each central saturated steam nozzle group includes multiple pairs of central saturated steam nozzles, so that its spray range can completely cover the cross-section of the dissolving vessel body 1, thereby improving the dissolution efficiency of the powder in saturated steam. Figure 7 As shown, each pair of central saturated steam nozzles includes an upper central saturated steam nozzle 74 and a lower central saturated steam nozzle 75. The upper central saturated steam nozzle 74 is inclined upwards, and the lower central saturated steam nozzle 75 is inclined downwards to further ensure that the steam fills the entire dissolving vessel body 1 after being injected by the central saturated steam nozzles, increasing the contact area between the powder and the saturated steam. Preferably, the angle between the upper central saturated steam nozzle 74 and the horizontal plane is 20° to 70°, preferably 30° to 60°, and more preferably 45°; the angle between the lower central saturated steam nozzle 75 and the horizontal plane is 20° to 70°, preferably 30° to 60°, and more preferably 45°. It should be noted that the outer circumference of the central saturated steam nozzle group is as close as possible to the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1 to prevent the powder between the central saturated steam nozzle group and the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1 from being outside the spray range of the central saturated steam nozzle group, thereby reducing the dead zone of contact between the powder and the saturated steam. More preferably, the spacing between two adjacent pairs of central saturated steam nozzles is the same. Most preferably, each group of central saturated steam nozzles includes at least four pairs of central saturated steam nozzles.
[0113] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1 is polished or coated with a PTFE coating to minimize the adhesion of powder material to the inner wall of the dissolving vessel body 1. Preferably, the outer walls of the top saturated steam jet, the middle saturated steam jet, and the powder guide shell 3 are polished or coated with a PTFE coating to minimize the adhesion of powder material to the outer walls of the top saturated steam jet, the middle saturated steam jet, and the powder guide shell 3.
[0114] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heat tracing jacket 8 is provided outside the dissolving vessel body 1, and the heat tracing jacket 8 is connected to the heat tracing medium inlet pipeline 81 and the heat tracing medium outlet pipeline 82, respectively. Preferably, the heat tracing jacket 8 is provided outside the cylinder and cone of the dissolving vessel body 1 to achieve a sufficient heat tracing effect and improve the dissolution efficiency of the powder. More preferably, a heat tracing medium guide plate is provided inside the heat tracing jacket 8 to improve the heat tracing effect and further improve the dissolution efficiency of the powder material.
[0115] The present invention also provides an application of a powder dissolving kettle with a dispersant, specifically including the following steps:
[0116] S1: Powder material is introduced into the powder inlet pipe 2. The powder material passes sequentially through the straight section and the flared section 21 of the powder inlet pipe 2 and reaches the powder distribution mesh 6 on the dissolving vessel body 1.

The temperature of the heating medium is preferably 100-200°C, and more preferably 150-190°C.
[0117] S2: Saturated steam is introduced into the top saturated steam injection element 5. Under the action of the top saturated steam, the mixture is uniformly dispersed on the powder distribution mesh 6 of the dissolving vessel body 1 and moves downward through the powder distribution mesh 6. Preferably, the inlet temperature of the saturated steam is 100-200°C, more preferably 140-150°C; and / or, the inlet pressure of the saturated steam is 0.1-1.5 MPaG, more preferably 0.3-0.6 MPaG.
[0118] S3: Saturated steam is introduced into multiple central saturated steam injectors. Under the action of multiple pairs of upper central saturated steam nozzles 74 and lower central saturated steam nozzles 75, the powder material and saturated steam move downwards along the powder guide shell 3 and mix thoroughly, finally exiting from the bottom outlet of the dissolving vessel body 1. Preferably, the inlet temperature and inlet pressure of the saturated steam are the same as in step S2.
