[0023] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the device for preventing leaching and bubbling of waste battery materials provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes a reaction tank 100, a guide tube 200, a gas processing structure 300 and a tubular reactor 400; one end of the guide tube 200 is an outlet 210, and one end of the outlet 210 is inserted into the reaction tank 100; the gas processing structure 300 is connected to the other end of the guide tube 200, and the gas processing structure 300 is used to extract the gas in the guide tube 200 and perform defoaming treatment on it; the tubular reactor 400 includes a tube body 410 and a nozzle 420, one end of the tube body 410 is provided with a first feed port 411 and a second feed port 412, the other end of the tube body 410 is inserted into the guide tube 200 and is provided with a nozzle 420, and the nozzle 420 is located above the liquid level 101.
[0024] By providing a tubular reactor 400, battery slurry and sulfuric acid can enter the tube body 410 through the first feed port 411 and the second feed port 412 respectively to fully contact and react. Since sulfuric acid releases heat during dilution and reaction, the reaction is promoted to proceed quickly, gas is generated quickly, and the gas generated by the reaction can be ejected from the nozzle 420 at high speed to be atomized, thereby allowing the gas generated by the reaction to be quickly separated from the liquid / solid phase, reducing the generation of bubbles. At the same time, the ejected slurry can also break the bubbles generated on the liquid surface, thereby achieving the purpose of defoaming. By providing a gas processing structure 300, the gas can be processed to reduce the risk of foam overflow.
[0025] During operation, the liquid level 101 of the reaction liquid in the reaction tank 100 is between the nozzle 420 and the outlet 210, the slurry enters the tube body 410 through the first feed port 411, and the sulfuric acid enters the tube body 410 through the second feed port 412. The slurry and the sulfuric acid fully contact and react in the tube body 410. After the slurry and the sulfuric acid are fully mixed and reacted, they are sprayed from the nozzle 420, sprayed into the guide tube 200, and enter the reaction tank 100 through the guide tube 200. The ejected gas enters the gas treatment structure 300 for defoaming treatment under the action of the gas treatment structure 300, and the ejected liquid phase or solid phase enters along the connecting section 210. The reaction continues in the reaction tank 100, wherein the foam with a lower density floats on the liquid surface, and the foam can be broken by the liquid phase or solid phase sprayed out at high speed by the nozzle 420. In addition, since the outlet 210 is located below the liquid surface 101, a liquid seal effect is formed, so that the gas sprayed out by the nozzle 420 is located in the guide tube 200, and the remaining small amount of liquid phase gas is controlled in a small range, which is convenient for collection and treatment, and timely release is achieved to prevent changes in the properties of certain materials, further reducing the generation of bubbles. Even if bubbles are generated in the guide tube 200, they will not overflow, but enter the demister 310 for water vapor separation, which will not affect the on-site environment.
[0026] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the gas processing structure 300 includes a demister 310, a fan 320 and a tail gas absorption system (not shown in the figure), the demister 310 is connected to the other end of the guide tube 200, the fan 320 is used to extract the gas in the guide tube 200 and transport it to the demister 310, the demister 310 is used to separate the gas from the liquid, the demister 310 includes a gas outlet (not shown in the figure) and a liquid outlet 311, and the gas outlet is connected to the tail gas absorption system; by providing the demister 310 and the fan 320, the gas is efficiently separated from the liquid, and the generation and overflow risks of bubbles are effectively reduced; specifically, the gas outlet is connected to the fan 320 and the tail gas absorption system in sequence;
[0027] During operation, the nozzle 420 sprays gas and liquid or solid phase into the guide tube 200, the fan 320 extracts the gas in the guide tube 200 and transports the gas to the demister 310, the demister 310 separates the gas into gas and liquid, and the separated gas is transported to the tail gas absorption system, the tail gas absorption system processes the gas to make it meet the discharge conditions, and the separated liquid is transported to an external storage barrel or to the reaction tank 100; specifically, the tail gas absorption system includes a spray tower;
[0028] Specifically, the gas processing structure 300 also includes a reflux pipe 330, and the liquid outlet 311 is connected to the interior of the reaction tank 100 through the reflux pipe 330. By providing the reflux pipe 330 between the demister 310 and the reaction tank 100, energy loss can be reduced and water balance can be easily controlled.
[0029] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the liquid outlet end of the reflux pipe 330 is located below the liquid surface 101 , so that the liquid in the reflux pipe 330 can react more easily with the reaction liquid in the reaction tank 100 .
[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the guide tube 200 includes an extension section 220 and a connecting section 230, one end of the extension section 220 is an outlet 210, one end of the extension section 220 is inserted into the reaction tank 100, the other end of the extension section 220 is connected to one end of the connecting section 230, the gas processing structure 300 is connected to the other end of the connecting section 230, and the other end of the tube body 410 is inserted into the extension section 220. The extension section 220 is vertically arranged to facilitate the liquid or solid phase sprayed by the nozzle 420 to impact and disperse the foam in the guide tube 200, thereby playing a defoaming role; specifically, the spraying direction of the nozzle 420 is downward.
[0031] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the extending section 220 is in a trumpet shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so that the liquid or solid phase sprayed by the nozzle 420 can impact and disperse the foam in the guide tube 200.
[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the tube body 410 is arranged horizontally, and there is a gap between the other end of the tube body 410 and the tube wall of the guide tube 200 to allow the slurry and sulfuric acid to be fully mixed.
[0033] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an air supply pipe 500, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the outside of the reaction tank 100 and the inside of the guide tube 200, and the outlet end of the air supply pipe 500 is located between the nozzle 420 and the liquid level 101, so as to stabilize the pressure in the guide tube 200 through the air supply pipe 500 to ensure that the fan 320 will not draw the reaction liquid in the reaction tank 100.
[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the air supply pipe 500 is installed on the guide tube 200 and is located at the upper end of the reaction tank 100. The air supply pipe 500 is inclined so that the position of the air supply pipe 500 is lower. The foam can be broken while supplying air, further preventing the foam from gathering.
[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, a rotatable stirring paddle 110 is installed in the reaction tank 100 to allow the liquid phase or the solid phase to fully react in the reaction tank 100 .
[0036] Furthermore, one of the first feed port 411 and the second feed port 412 is used for introducing sulfuric acid, and the other of the first feed port 411 and the second feed port 412 is used for introducing slurry, so that the first feed port 411 or the second feed port 412 can stably introduce slurry or sulfuric acid; the reaction tank 100 is used to accommodate the reaction liquid, the reaction liquid in the reaction tank 100 has a liquid level 101, the outlet 210 is located below the liquid level 101, the nozzle 420 is located above the liquid level 101, and the outlet end of the air supply pipe 500 is located between the nozzle 420 and the liquid level 101, so that the defoaming effect of the bubbling device is optimized.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, when the device is working, the slurry enters the tube body 410 through the first feed port 411, and the sulfuric acid enters the tube body 410 through the second feed port 412. The slurry and the sulfuric acid fully contact and react in the tube body 410. After the slurry and the sulfuric acid are fully mixed and reacted, they are sprayed from the nozzle 420 and sprayed into the guide tube 200. Since the guide tube 200 is inserted below the liquid level 101, it plays a role of liquid sealing. The gas sprayed into the guide tube 200 can only be located in the guide tube 200, and then the gas moves upward under the action of the fan 320 and enters the demister 310. The demister 310 The gas containing a small amount of liquid phase is separated into gas and liquid, and the separated liquid flows back to the reaction tank 100 through the liquid outlet 311 and the reflux pipe 330. The separated gas enters the tail gas absorption system, and the tail gas absorption system processes the gas to make the gas meet the discharge conditions. The sprayed liquid phase or solid phase sinks downward along the guide tube 200 and sinks into the reaction tank 100, and then is evenly dispersed in the reaction tank 100 by the stirring paddle 110, and continues to react. The lighter density foam floats on the liquid surface in the guide tube 200, and the fallen liquid phase or solid phase breaks the foam on the liquid surface.
