At the same time, the discharged oxygen contains a large amount of dust generated during the sintering process. Conventional dust collectors cannot operate under 700℃ conditions and can only be discharged directly into the atmosphere, causing serious air pollution.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the high-temperature oxygen separation system of the roller kiln 1 for sintering positive electrode materials of lithium batteries includes multiple roller kilns 1 connected in parallel, each roller kiln 1 is equipped with a rough dust collector 2, and a high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3 is installed on the rough dust collector 2. The high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3 is a tubular cold water heat exchanger, the system is simple and reliable, the warm water after replacement can be recycled, saving energy, and an acoustic nitrogen dust cleaner is arranged on the high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3, which is not shown in the figure, to prevent dust accumulation on the heat exchange tubes in the heat exchanger. A fine dust collector 4 is installed on the high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3, and a low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5 is installed on the fine dust collector 4. A variable frequency centrifugal fan 6 is provided at the end of the oxygen filtering and cooling recovery line of each roller kiln 1 to draw oxygen from the roller kiln 1 and transport it to the oxygen separation system. The outlet of the low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5 is connected to the variable frequency centrifugal fan 6, and a storage tank Ⅰ7 is installed at the outlet of the variable frequency centrifugal fan 6. Each storage tank Ⅰ7 is connected in parallel to the oxygen separation system, and multiple roller kilns 1 use one oxygen separation system for dust removal and oxygen recovery. The low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5 is a tubular cold water heat exchanger. The system is simple and reliable, and the cooling water uses 30°C normal temperature water. In this application, a coarse dust collector 2, a high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3, a fine dust collector 4, a low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5, and a variable frequency centrifugal fan 6 are installed in series between the roller kiln 1 and the storage tank Ⅰ7. Two sets of dust collectors are used to filter the oxygen twice to reduce the damage of the waste heat recovery device. Multiple roller kilns are combined to use one oxygen separation system to reduce the floor space occupied by the oxygen separation system equipment.

[0029] The coarse dust collector 2 is a cyclone dust collector, which can filter out most of the large dust particles in advance, reducing the wear and clogging of the high-temperature waste heat recovery equipment. The fine dust collector 4 is a cartridge dust collector, and the filter cartridge is a ceramic fiber filter cartridge 11. The ceramic fiber filter cartridge 11 has a temperature resistance of 600°C. Once the cooling effect of the high-temperature waste heat recovery device deteriorates, the filter cartridge can withstand the impact of high-temperature flue gas in a short period of time, avoiding the filter cartridge in the dust collector from burning due to high temperature.

[0030] The variable frequency centrifugal fan 6 of each roller kiln 1 is controlled by a separate variable frequency. Due to production requirements, the pressure in each roller kiln 1 must be controlled at -10Pa to -2Pa. The fan variable frequency controller is linked with the pressure sensor in the roller kiln 1, and PID regulation is configured to control the pressure in the roller kiln 1 in real time to ensure normal production. The pressure sensor and PLC are connected through a signal line, and the variable frequency controller of the variable frequency centrifugal fan 6 and the PLC are connected using 485 communication.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the oxygen separation system includes an oxygen separator 8 and a compressor 9, a storage tank Ⅰ7 is connected to the oxygen separator 8, a compressor 9 is installed on the oxygen output port 12 of the oxygen separator 8, and a storage tank Ⅱ10 is installed at the outlet of the compressor 9. The oxygen separator 8 is connected to the storage tank Ⅱ10 through the compressor 9, and the separated oxygen is output to the storage tank Ⅱ10 for recycling. The oxygen concentration in the gas purified by the oxygen separator 8 is about 80%. The remaining 20% ​​of the waste gas is discharged through the waste gas outlet 13 of the oxygen separator 8, and the waste gas is carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

[0032] The output port of the storage tank II 10 is connected to a plurality of roller kilns 1 connected in parallel, and oxygen is output to the air inlet of the roller kiln through the storage tank II 10, so that oxygen recovery and utilization is realized.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the heat exchange water source is connected in parallel to the heat exchange inlet of the high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3 and the low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5, and the heat exchange outlet of the high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3 and the low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5 is connected in parallel to the recovery pool. The temperature of the warm water after the high and low-temperature waste heat recovery devices is 40-45°C. The warm water is combined and sent to the recovery pool to recover the residual heat. At the same time, the water temperature is naturally reduced to about 30°C and then returned to the high and low-temperature waste heat recovery devices for recycling and energy saving.

[0034] There are often 3-4 roller kilns 1 in a workshop. The space inside and outside the workshop is narrow, so a set of integrated recovery systems is set up for multiple roller kilns 1. Each roller kiln 1 is equipped with a coarse dust collector 2, a high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3, a fine dust collector 4, a low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5, an induced draft fan and an oxygen storage tank. The high-temperature oxygen (700℃) in a roller kiln 1 first passes through the coarse dust collector 2, which can reduce the dust concentration to 5-10g / Nm³. The coarse dust collector 2 uses a cyclone dust collector. The temperature of the high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3 is reduced to 300℃. The high-temperature waste heat recovery device 3 uses cold water replacement, the cold water temperature is 30℃, and the warm water after replacement reaches 45-50℃. Then the 250℃ oxygen enters the fine dust collector 4 to filter the dust concentration to below 5mg / Nm³. The fine dust collector 4 uses a ceramic fiber cartridge dust collector. A low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5 is set after the fine dust collector 4. After the oxygen enters the low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5, the temperature is reduced to about 35°C. The low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5 uses cold water replacement, and the cold water temperature is 30°C. The warm water after replacement reaches 35°C. A variable frequency centrifugal fan 6 is set after the low-temperature waste heat recovery device 5. A 10m³ oxygen storage tank is set after the variable frequency centrifugal fan 6. The system is equipped with an oxygen main pipe, and the outlet of each oxygen storage tank is connected to the oxygen main pipe. The oxygen main pipe sends oxygen to the oxygen separation system. The oxygen concentration after separation by the oxygen separation system reaches more than 99%. The oxygen is finally compressed to 0.5MPa by the compressor 9 and re-enters the kiln for recycling.
