AI Technical Summary
The cooling efficiency of traditional air-cooled cooling kilns is low, which makes it difficult for spodumene to effectively disperse heat during cooling, affecting the subsequent processing technology.
The acidification cooling kiln is adopted in the tube type. By setting up several heat exchange pipes in the kiln body, the cooling water enters the water inlet pipe from one end of the kiln body. After heat exchange of materials in the kiln body, it enters the water return pipe from the other end of the kiln body to achieve full contact between the cooling water and the material.
The cooling efficiency is improved, and the heat exchange efficiency is higher than that of the air-cooled system, and the structure is simple, which avoids the temperature loss when the cooling water is reflowed and improves the utilization rate of the cooling water.
