Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically relating to an automatic control device and method for cyclone electrolysis of powder. Background Technology
[0002] In hydrometallurgy, the traditional copper electrolysis workshop purification system's production process flow is as follows: vacuum evaporation-water cooling crystallization to produce crude copper sulfate, induced copper removal to remove copper and arsenic, antimony, and bismuth impurities, electrothermal evaporation to remove nickel, and the use of a remelting tank to create new solution. In the existing process, most of the copper removal is mainly completed by induced copper removal and electrowinning copper removal processes, producing a large amount of sponge copper slag and sponge copper plates that accumulate, restricting the production of the next process. In the existing cyclone electrolysis powder system, most operations are carried out manually, which affects production efficiency, and the operation process is frequent, complex, and prone to errors, and the labor cost is high, which is not conducive to standardized production. Furthermore, in the cyclone electrolysis powder system, processes such as liquid feeding, circulation, electrolysis, liquid discharge, backflushing, backwashing, pressure filtration, liquid replenishment, and post-copper removal liquid transportation are not interlocked with pump sets, valves, flow rate, liquid level, temperature, and pressure, which is not conducive to improving electrolysis efficiency and production organization and management. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing an automatic control device for cyclone electrolysis of powders.
[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide an automatic control method for cyclone electrolysis powder in response to the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automatic control device for cyclone electrolysis of powder includes a powder circulation tank, on which a liquid inlet assembly is provided. One side of the powder circulation tank is connected to a cyclone electrolysis mechanism via a powder circulation mechanism. The cyclone electrolysis mechanism is equipped with an intelligent power distribution mechanism, and a backwashing mechanism is provided between the cyclone electrolysis mechanism and the powder circulation tank. The backwashing mechanism is equipped with a back-blowing assembly, and the cyclone electrolysis mechanism is connected to a low-level tank via the backwashing mechanism.

The liquid inlet assembly facilitates the injection of the pre-copper-removed liquid into the powder circulation tank, and the powder... The body circulation mechanism can transport the pre-copper removal solution to the cyclone electrolysis mechanism and electrolyze it through the intelligent power distribution mechanism. After electrolysis, it is sequentially subjected to back-blowing and back-rinsing operations through the back-blowing assembly and back-rinsing mechanism. Back-blowing facilitates the removal of air bubbles on the electrode surface, reduces cell pressure, and improves electrolytic efficiency. Back-rinsing removes deposits in the cell and restores effective electrolytic capacity. After electrolysis, back-blowing, and back-rinsing circulation, the solution that meets the requirements is transferred to the low-level tank. The solution in the low-level tank is filtered and copper removal is performed by a filter press. When the copper removal solution meets the requirements, it is transferred to the subsequent process through the copper removal solution tank. When the copper removal solution does not meet the requirements, it continues to circulate and electrolyze through the powder circulation tank, improving production efficiency.

The powder circulation pump can transfer the copper stripping liquid to the cyclone electrolysis mechanism through the circulation inlet pipeline. The flow rate of the copper stripping liquid transferred to the cyclone electrolysis mechanism can be controlled by the circulation inlet valve, circulation flow meter, and circulation outlet valve. The cooling circulating water system can exchange heat with the copper stripping liquid through the input and output ends of the plate heat exchanger, ensuring a constant temperature of the copper stripping liquid, guaranteeing the electrolysis effect, and improving the service life of the equipment.
[0008] In the aforementioned automatic control device for cyclone electrolysis of powder, the cyclone electrolysis mechanism includes several cyclone electrolysis cell groups, each group having several cyclone electrolysis cells; the intelligent power distribution mechanism includes an intelligent power distribution device, the positive terminal of which is connected to one end of the cyclone electrolysis cell group, and the negative terminal connected to the other end of the cyclone electrolysis cell group.

The backwashing pump is connected to one end of the cyclone electrolysis cell group via a backwashing inlet pipe. A backwashing inlet main valve is provided on the backwashing inlet pipe. A backwashing inlet valve is provided between one end of the cyclone electrolysis cell group and the backwashing inlet main valve. The other end of the cyclone electrolysis cell group is connected to a low-level tank via a backwashing outlet pipe, which is equipped with a backwashing outlet valve. The back-blowing assembly includes a compressed air pipeline, which is connected to the backwashing inlet pipeline via a back-blowing air inlet main valve. Each cyclone electrolyzer group has one end connected to a compressed air pipeline, and the other end of each cyclone electrolyzer group has an exhaust pipe installed on the circulating liquid outlet pipeline.

A post-liquid flow meter is installed on the post-liquid conveying pipe. When the solution in the low-level tank... When the liquid level exceeds the stirring blades, automatic stirring is initiated. The liquid level in the low-level tank can be detected by the low-level tank level gauge. The stirred solution is then transported to the filter press for filtration via the low-level tank transfer pump. The filtered solution is tested. When the solution is qualified, the inlet valve of the filtered liquid in the powder circulation tank is closed, and the inlet valve of the filtered liquid in the downstream tank is opened. The filtered solution is then transferred to the copper removal downstream tank through the downstream outlet pipeline. The filtered solution is then transported to the next process via the downstream transfer pump and downstream transfer pipeline. The flow rate of the solution in the downstream transfer pipeline can be detected by the downstream flow meter. When the solution is unqualified, the inlet valve of the filtered liquid in the powder circulation tank is opened, and the inlet valve of the filtered liquid in the downstream tank is closed. The filtered solution is then transferred to the powder circulation tank for circulating electrolysis via the downstream circulation inlet pipeline.
[0011] An automatic control method for cyclone electrolysis of powder, the method comprising the following steps:
[0012] Step S1: The operation screen is started through the preset program of the central controller. The powder circulation tank is filled with liquid. The liquid filling is stopped by liquid level detection. The powder circulation tank feeds liquid to the cyclone electrolysis mechanism through the powder circulation mechanism. After the liquid is filled, electrolysis is carried out through the intelligent power distribution mechanism.
[0013] Step S2: According to the preset electrolysis time of the central controller, after the cyclone electrolysis mechanism has completed electrolysis, the powder circulation mechanism is turned off and back-blowing is performed. After the back-blowing is completed, the cyclone electrolysis mechanism is back-washed.
[0014] Step S3: Based on the liquid level detection of the low-level tank, repeat the liquid feeding, electrolysis, backflushing, and backwashing process. When the liquid level in the low-level tank reaches the required height, perform pressure filtration through a filter press. Detect whether the solution after pressure filtration is qualified. Based on whether the solution after pressure filtration is qualified, perform circulating electrolysis and solution transfer respectively.
[0015] In the above-mentioned automatic control method for cyclone electrolysis of powder, in step S1, the central controller starts according to the preset program, opens the liquid inlet component on the powder circulation tank to feed liquid, and closes the front liquid inlet valve after the liquid level of the powder circulation tank level gauge is met. Then, the circulation inlet valve and circulation outlet valve on each cyclone electrolysis cell group are opened, while other valves are closed. Then, the powder circulation pump is started to inject electrolyte into the cyclone electrolysis cell. The central controller adjusts the pump speed of the powder circulation pump in real time according to the feedback value of the circulation liquid flow meter to adjust the circulation volume of electrolyte. After the liquid feeding is completed, the cyclone electrolysis cell is electrolyzed through the intelligent power distribution mechanism. At the same time, the DC current sensor and DC voltage sensor are started. The central controller adjusts the output current of the intelligent power distribution device according to the feedback value of the DC current sensor using the single-loop PID control method.
[0016] In the above-mentioned automatic control method for cyclone electrolysis of powder, in step S2, electrolysis is completed according to the electrolysis time preset by the central controller, the intelligent power distribution mechanism is turned off and the powder circulation mechanism is turned off, the flushing inlet valve and flushing outlet valve on each group of cyclone electrolysis cells are turned on in sequence, and then the back-blowing operation is performed on each group of cyclone electrolysis cells in sequence according to the back-blowing component; after the back-blowing is completed, the back-blowing component is turned off and the back-rinsing operation is performed on each group of cyclone electrolysis cells in sequence.
[0017] In the above-mentioned automatic control method for cyclone electrolytic powder, in step S3, when the liquid level in the low-level tank does not reach the preset height, the process of steps S1 and S2 is repeated until the liquid level in the low-level tank reaches the specified height. The low-level tank transports the solution to the filter press for filtration, and the solution after filtration is tested to see if it is qualified. If the solution is unqualified, it is transported to the powder circulation tank and the process of steps S1 and S2 is repeated. The qualified solution is transported to the copper removal liquid tank and then transported to the next process.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:
[0019] 1. Based on the central controller system, and through the on-site operation panel, it is used for local display and control, which is convenient for users to observe, operate and control;
[0020] 2. Multiple control methods work together, including single-loop PID + interlock control for circulating fluid flow, system electrolysis current, and backwash fluid pressure. Through precise PID control, the circulating fluid flow, system electrolysis current, and backwash fluid pressure are more stable, which facilitates standardized production.
[0021] 3. The liquid levels in the low-level tank and the copper stripping liquid tank are controlled by an interlocking automatic system, which is very convenient and efficient. It enables the entire production process to be fully automated, improving the safety, stability, continuity and efficiency of the entire production process. It also achieves standardized production, greatly reduces production costs and improves economic benefits. Attached Figure Description
