[0046] like Figure 1As shown, a novel high-concentration alkali solution evaporation and concentration system of the utility model has the following use process:
[0047] Alkaline solution (hereinafter referred to as feed solution) is poured into the feed tank 1, and the feed solution enters the primary preheater 21 through a pipeline for preliminary heating, and then enters the secondary preheater 22 through a pipeline for reheating.
[0048] The liquid preheated twice enters the heat exchange chamber of the first-effect evaporator 31 through a pipeline, and water vapor enters the heat exchange chamber through a pipeline to heat the liquid. Due to the high pressure in the heat exchange chamber, the boiling point of the liquid in the heat exchange chamber will increase, which will cause the liquid to overheat. After the overheated liquid enters the evaporation chamber, the pressure of the liquid drops rapidly, causing part of the liquid to flash or boil rapidly.
[0049] The first gas-liquid separator 41 separates the high-temperature feed liquid and the secondary steam generated by the flash evaporation of the feed liquid, and discharges the secondary steam into the second-effect evaporator 32 through a pipeline for recycling as a heat source, while the separated feed liquid is discharged into the second-effect evaporator 32 through a pipeline for the next evaporation.
[0050] During this process, the injected water vapor releases energy and liquefies to form water, which flows into the dirty condensed water tank 6 through a pipeline for storage; the condenser 5 extracts the non-condensable gas in the secondary steam separated by the first gas-liquid separator 41, and discharges the non-condensable gas from the vacuum system to prevent affecting the evaporation efficiency, and the generated secondary condensed water is discharged into the dirty condensed water tank 6. The secondary condensed water in the dirty condensed water tank 6 is discharged back into the primary preheater 21 for recycling.
[0051] After the feed liquid is further evaporated and concentrated by the second-effect evaporator 32 , the second gas-liquid separator 42 , the third-effect evaporator 33 and the third gas-liquid separator 43 , it is discharged from the device through the discharge pipe on the third-effect evaporator 33 for storage.
[0052] For the compressor 7, the secondary steam separated by the third separator 43 enters the compressor 7 through a pipeline, and after being pressurized at a high temperature, enters the first-effect evaporator 31 through a pipeline to be circulated and used as a heat source.
