[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to an alkali metal recovery and reuse device. Background Art

[0002] Alkali metals are widely used in the fine chemical industry, such as the synthesis of organometallic compounds and as reducing agents to reduce other metals with important uses. Alkali metals have low density, low melting and boiling points, and high reactivity under standard conditions. They can react with oxygen and water in the air, directly form ionic compounds with many non-metallic elements, and react with many organic compounds. Some reactions require the input of excessive alkali metals, and their subsequent treatment processes often require filtering out the alkali metals, quenching them with water and other reagents, and finally converting them into salt solutions for wastewater treatment. This not only causes waste of raw materials and increases wastewater treatment costs, but also poses great safety risks.

[0003] At present, there are few reports on devices for recycling alkali metals. Therefore, the utility model proposes an alkali metal recycling device to effectively recover excess alkali metals. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an alkali metal recovery and reuse device includes an alkali metal reactor 1 and an alkali metal filter 2. The alkali metal filter 2 is arranged above the alkali metal reactor 1. The top of the alkali metal reactor 1 is provided with a discharge port 15. The bottom of the alkali metal filter 2 is provided with a feed port. The discharge port 15 is connected to the feed port of the alkali metal filter 2 through a straight pipe 6.

[0027] The utility model arranges the discharge port 15 above the alkali metal reactor 1, adopts the upper discharge mode, arranges the alkali metal filter 2 above the alkali metal reactor 1, and the connecting pipe between the alkali metal reactor 1 and the alkali metal filter 2 is short and straight. When the recovered alkali metal is discharged, the alkali metal intercepted by the elastic filter can smoothly enter the alkali metal reactor 1 under the action of gravity and nitrogen, and the phenomenon of material clogging in the pipe is not easy to occur.

[0028] The discharge port 15 of the alkali metal reactor 1 is provided with an extension pipe 18 in the reactor, wherein a switch valve 8 is provided at the feed port of the alkali metal filter 2, and a filter baffle 3 for intercepting alkali metals is provided inside the alkali metal filter 2, and the filter baffle 3 includes a regular hexagonal baffle frame, and an elastic filter screen 17 is provided on the lower surface of the baffle frame.

[0029] The filter baffle 3 of the alkali metal filter 2 of the utility model is provided with an elastic filter screen 17, so that the alkali metal can be completely discharged from the filter without manual assistance.

[0030] In this embodiment, a lug 16 is provided on the side of the alkali metal filter 2, and a weighing module 5 is provided below the lug 16, which can collect original data and automatically calculate and record the mass of the recovered alkali metal, providing convenience for production and benefit statistics.

[0031] A fixing bracket 4 is provided inside the alkali metal filter 2, the fixing bracket 4 is fixed to the alkali metal filter 2, and the filter baffle 3 is fixed below the fixing bracket 4. A flange 7 is provided on the cylinder of the alkali metal filter 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, an air inlet 1, a solvent inlet, an exhaust gas outlet and a filtrate inlet are sequentially provided at the top of the alkali metal filter 2, and a switch valve 2 9, a switch valve 3 10, a switch valve 4 11 and a switch valve 6 13 are sequentially provided on the pipelines where the filtrate inlet, the exhaust gas outlet, the solvent inlet and the air inlet 1 of the alkali metal filter 2 are located.

[0033] An air inlet 2 is provided below the alkali metal filter 2, wherein a switch valve 7 14 is provided on the pipeline where the air inlet 2 is located.

[0034] In this embodiment, an air inlet three is provided on the top of the alkali metal reactor 1, wherein a switch valve five 12 is provided on the pipeline where the air inlet three is located.

[0035] The process of recovering alkali metals from alkali metal-containing materials is as follows:

[0036] When the alkali metal reactor 1 is discharging, the worker clicks on the DCS operating table to open the air inlet switch valve 5 12 of the alkali metal reactor 1, the feed inlet switch valve 1 8 of the alkali metal filter 2, and the filtrate inlet switch valve 2 9 of the alkali metal filter 2, and nitrogen enters the alkali metal reactor 1. The pressure in the alkali metal reactor 1 increases, and the alkali metal-containing material is pressed into the alkali metal filter 2 through the extension pipe 18. When the alkali metal material passes through the elastic filter 17, the alkali metal is intercepted on the elastic filter 17, and the filtrate passes through the filtrate port above the alkali metal filter 2 to the downstream.

[0037] After the filtration is completed, the worker on the DCS operating table closes the air inlet switch valve 5 12 of the alkali metal reactor 1, the feed inlet switch valve 1 8 of the alkali metal filter 2, and the filtrate inlet switch valve 2 9 of the alkali metal filter 2; opens the air inlet switch valve 7 14 at the lower left of the alkali metal filter 2, and opens the tail gas switch valve 3 10 above the alkali metal filter 2 to dry the alkali metal. After the alkali metal is dried, the worker on the DCS operating table closes the air inlet switch valve 7 14 at the lower left of the alkali metal filter 2, and closes the tail gas switch valve 3 10 above the alkali metal filter 2. The DCS system collects the mass data m1 of the weighing module 5.

[0038] When the next batch of materials is added to the alkali metal reactor 1, the worker opens the switch valve 4 11 of the solvent pipeline above the alkali metal filter 2 and opens the switch valve 1 8 of the pipeline below the alkali metal filter 2 on the DCS operating table, and the solvent enters the alkali metal filter 2 to flush the alkali metal into the alkali metal reactor 1. After the solvent feeding is completed, the worker closes the switch valve 4 11 of the solvent pipeline above the alkali metal filter 2 and opens the switch valve 6 13 of the nitrogen pipeline above the alkali metal filter 2 on the DCS operating table, and nitrogen enters the alkali metal filter 2. Under the alternating action of opening and closing the nitrogen, the elastic filter 17 stretches, and the alkali metal remaining on the elastic filter 17 falls off and falls into the alkali metal reactor 1 under the action of nitrogen pressure and gravity, realizing the recovery and application of alkali metals. The DCS system collects the mass data m2 of the weighing module 5.

[0039] The DCS system takes the difference and obtains the mass of alkali metals recovered in this batch m=m1-m2.
