[0023] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will give a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1-5 , this is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which provides a molecular sieve ion exchange device. This molecular sieve ion exchange device includes a catalyst tank 1. One end of the catalyst tank 1 is provided with a pump body 17. One end of the pump body 17 is installed with a pipeline 2. One side of the catalyst tank 1 is provided with a reaction kettle 3. Both ends of the reaction kettle 3 are provided with an upper flange cover 4 and a lower flange cover 5. The bottom of the upper flange cover 4 and the top of the lower flange cover 5 are both provided with external threads 6. Both ends inside the reaction kettle 3 are provided with thread grooves 7. The upper flange cover 4 and the lower flange cover 5 are threadedly connected through the external threads 6 and the thread grooves 7. The catalyst tank 1 and the pump body 17 are connected through the pipeline 2. By threaded connection, the upper flange cover 4 and the lower flange cover 5 can be made detachable, which is convenient for the maintenance of the reaction kettle 3. At the same time, there are four groups of reaction kettles 3.

[0025] The outer diameters of the upper flange cover 4 and the lower flange cover 5 are larger than the diameter of the reaction kettle 3. The outer diameter of the external thread 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the reaction kettle 3, and it is connected through the thread groove 7.

[0026] One end of the lower flange cover 5 is provided with a sampling port 8. The sampling port 8 is inclined, which can facilitate the sampling operation and avoid the phenomenon of ions getting stuck.

[0027] A driving motor 9 is installed on the top of the upper flange cover 4. Inside the upper flange cover 4 and within the internal part of the reaction kettle 3, there is a spiral stirring rod 10. The output end of the driving motor 9 extends to the inner side of the upper flange cover 4 and is connected to the spiral stirring rod 10. The driving motor 9 is in a clamped state with the upper flange cover 4 and is connected to the spiral stirring rod 10 through a bushing. In this way, it can prevent the occurrence of channeling phenomena during the ion exchange process of the molecular sieve, and at the same time, it is convenient for the maintenance of the reaction kettle 3 to avoid the phenomenon of jamming.

[0028] Inside the reaction kettle 3, there is an inner ring 11 fixedly connected. The inner ring 11 is located at the bottom of the thread groove 7. On the surface of the inner ring 11, there are connection holes 13. There are two groups of inner rings 11, and their structures are the same, which can avoid blockage.

[0029] A filter plate 12 is installed on the surface of the inner ring 11. Inside the filter plate 12, there is a bolt 14 movably sleeved. The bottom of the bolt 14 penetrates through the filter plate 12 and extends into the connection hole 13 and is threadedly connected to it. On the surface of the filter plate 12 and on one side of the bolt 14, there is a handle 15 fixedly connected. The bolt 14 can conveniently position the filter plate 12. At the same time, in cooperation with the use of the inner ring 11, it can prevent the filter plate 12 from sliding deep into the reaction kettle 3. The handle 15 can conveniently take out the filter plate 12. At the same time, a circular groove is opened inside the filter plate 12. The spiral stirring rod 10 is located inside the circular groove, and the outer diameter of the spiral stirring rod 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the circular groove, which is convenient for taking it out.

[0030] One side of the reaction kettle 3 is connected with a liquid inlet pipe 18 and a liquid outlet pipe 19. The liquid inlet pipe 18 and the liquid outlet pipe 19 are respectively located at the bottom of the upper flange cover 4 and the top of the lower flange cover 5. Valves 16 are installed on the surfaces of the liquid inlet pipe 18 and the liquid outlet pipe 19;

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, one end of the pump body 17 is connected to the first group of pipes 2, the first group of pipes 2 is connected to the first group of liquid outlet pipes 19, and the first group of liquid inlet pipes 18 is connected to the second group of liquid outlet pipes 19 through the second group of pipes 2, and so on, to achieve series connection;

[0032] At the same time, filtering structures are installed inside both the liquid inlet pipe 18 and the liquid outlet pipe 19. They are similar in structure to the filter plate 12, but there is no circular groove inside them, and they are not shown in the figure.

[0033] At the beginning stage of the experiment, the molecular sieve is put into the reaction kettle 3, and the spiral stirring rod 10 is inserted into the reaction kettle 3, so that the upper flange cover 4 is located on the top of the reaction kettle 3, and the external thread 6 at the bottom of the upper flange cover 4 is located inside the thread groove 7. Subsequently, the upper flange cover 4 is tightened so that the external thread 6 is threadedly connected to the thread groove 7;

[0034] After heating the catalyst tank 1, the catalyst required for ion exchange is pumped into the reaction kettle 3 through the pump body 17 for ion exchange. Since the molecular sieve is in granular form, filter structures are installed on both the liquid inlet pipe 18 and the liquid outlet pipe 19 of the reaction kettle 3. And for the purpose of avoiding blockage, a secondary filter is installed in the pipeline 2. There are valves 16 before and after the filter structure in the pipeline 2, which can be disassembled and repaired during the ion exchange process if necessary.

[0035] In the four-pole ion exchange reaction kettle 3, there are sampling ports 8 at the lower ends to monitor the ion concentration in real time. And it can be known from the sampling and detection results whether the ion exchange reaction in the reaction kettle 3 is proceeding normally.

[0036] During the ion exchange process of the molecular sieve, a channeling phenomenon may occur. In the reaction kettle 3, the detachable spiral stirring rod 10 connected to the upper flange cover 4 can solve this problem.

[0037] The spiral stirring rod 10 cooperates with the detection results, which can make the ion exchange of the molecular sieve proceed smoothly and positively.

[0038] The advantage of setting the devices in series is that after the first-stage exchange is completed, the second stage becomes the first stage, the third stage becomes the second stage, the fourth stage becomes the third stage, and so on.

[0039] During the ion exchange process, after sampling, the occurrence of the channeling phenomenon can be judged according to the real-time detected concentration. If the channeling phenomenon occurs, start the drive motor 9 to drive the spiral stirring rod 10 to start stirring for 30 seconds and then stop stirring (stirring is not required during the normal exchange process). This method can simplify the preparation method, make the operation easier, and improve work efficiency.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not restrictive. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
