Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0012] The utility model provides a device for comprehensively utilizing the heat of lithium precipitation mother liquor, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The heat comprehensive utilization device for lithium precipitation mother liquor enables the heat concentration device for lithium precipitation mother liquor to fully utilize waste heat through the settings of a heat insulation box, a preheating storage box, an air pump, a first air pipe, and an exhaust pipe. During use, the lithium precipitation mother liquor continuously enters the preheating storage box through the liquid inlet pipe at a certain speed. The liquid pump pumps the lithium precipitation mother liquor in the preheating storage box into the second water pipe through the first water pipe, and then enters the heat treatment box through the second water pipe. Under the action of a heater and a heating plate, the lithium precipitation mother liquor in the heat treatment box is evaporated and concentrated. During the heating process, the driving motor drives the rotating shaft and the fixing rod to rotate, so that the stirring rod stirs the mother liquor in the heat treatment box. Stirring can make the substances inside the liquid move more actively, and at the same time reduce the non-uniformity of temperature distribution, making the temperatures of all parts of the liquid more consistent, which plays a role in improving the heating efficiency. When the mother liquor reaches a certain temperature, the generated steam is pumped into the first air pipe by the air pump, and the steam then enters the heat insulation box through the first air pipe. During the movement of the steam in the first air pipe, a small part of the steam condenses into water droplets in the first air pipe. When the water formed by the water droplets reaches a certain amount, the first solenoid valve is opened to discharge the liquid, preventing the water from blocking the first air pipe. Similarly, the second liquid discharge pipe and the second solenoid valve play the same role. After the steam carrying heat enters the heat insulation box, first, the steam rushes towards the bottom surface of the preheating storage box to transfer heat to heat the bottom surface of the preheating storage box, and then the steam diffuses around and contacts the corrugated outer wall of the preheating storage box, thereby transferring heat to the mother liquor in the preheating storage box, playing a role in preheating the mother liquor. Finally, the steam enters the exhaust pipe. Since the liquid inlet pipe is arranged in the exhaust pipe, the steam contacts the outer surface of the liquid inlet pipe for heat exchange. The staff can appropriately adjust the length of the exhaust pipe according to the actual situation. After the steam moves in the exhaust pipe for a period of time, due to long-term contact and heat exchange with the liquid inlet pipe, the steam condenses into water droplets and finally flows out through the drain pipe, and the condensed water is collected. This device discharges the steam into the heat insulation box, making the steam contact the preheating storage box, playing a role in raising the temperature of the preheating storage box. At the same time, the steam contacts the liquid inlet pipe in the exhaust pipe to heat the mother liquor passing through the liquid inlet pipe again, so that the heat is fully utilized. By preheating the mother liquor, the initial temperature when heating the mother liquor in the heat treatment box later is increased, reducing the energy required for heating, achieving the purpose of improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing production costs.

An air pump 16 is installed on the upper surface of the heat treatment box 8. A first air pipe 17 is arranged at the output end of the air pump 16. The first water pipe 6 penetrates through the heat insulation box 1 and the preheating storage box 3, and the lower end of the first water pipe 6 is arranged at the bottom of the preheating storage box 3. The intake pipe of the air pump 16 is arranged inside the heat treatment box 8. The bottom of the first air pipe 17 is connected to a first drain pipe 18. A first solenoid valve 181 is installed on the surface of the first drain pipe 18. The other end of the first air pipe 17 is connected to the bottom surface of the heat insulation box 1. A second drain pipe 19 is connected to the bottom surface of the heat insulation box 1. A second solenoid valve 191 is installed on the surface of the second drain pipe 19.

A leak pipe 21 is arranged on the lower surface of the other end of the exhaust pipe 20.
[0022] In order to achieve the purpose of improving energy utilization rate and reducing production costs, during use, the lithium precipitation mother liquor continuously enters the preheating storage tank 3 through the liquid inlet pipe 4 at a certain speed. The liquid pump 5 pumps the lithium precipitation mother liquor in the preheating storage tank 3 into the second water pipe 7 through the first water pipe 6, and then enters the heat treatment tank 8 through the second water pipe 7. Under the action of the heater 9 and the heating plate 10, the lithium precipitation mother liquor in the heat treatment tank 8 is evaporated and concentrated. During the heating process, the driving motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12 and the fixed rod 13 to rotate, so that the stirring rod 14 stirs the mother liquor in the heat treatment tank 8. Through stirring, the substances inside the liquid can move more actively, and at the same time, the non-uniformity of temperature distribution is reduced, making the temperature of each part of the liquid more consistent, which plays a role in improving the heating efficiency. When the mother liquor reaches a certain temperature, the generated steam is pumped into the first air pipe 17 under the action of the air pump 16.

Similarly, the second drain pipe 19 and the second electromagnetic valve 191 play the same role. After the steam carrying heat enters the heat insulation box 1, first, the steam rushes towards the bottom surface of the preheating storage tank 3 to conduct heat transfer heating on the bottom surface of the preheating storage tank 3, and then the steam diffuses around and contacts the corrugated outer wall of the preheating storage tank 3, thereby transferring the heat to the mother liquor in the preheating storage tank 3, playing a role in initially heating the mother liquor. Finally, the steam enters the exhaust pipe 20. Since the liquid inlet pipe 4 is arranged in the exhaust pipe 20, the steam contacts the outer surface of the liquid inlet pipe 4 for heat exchange. According to the actual situation, the staff can appropriately adjust the length of the exhaust pipe 20. After the steam moves in the exhaust pipe 20 for a period of time, due to long-term contact and heat exchange with the liquid inlet pipe 4, the steam condenses into water droplets, and finally flows out through the drain pipe 21, and the condensed water is collected. This device discharges the steam into the heat insulation box 1, making the steam contact the preheating storage tank 3, playing a role in raising the temperature of the preheating storage tank 3. At the same time, the steam contacts the liquid inlet pipe 4 in the exhaust pipe 20 to heat the mother liquor passing through the liquid inlet pipe 4 again, so that the heat is fully utilized. By preheating the mother liquor, the initial temperature when heating the mother liquor in the heat treatment tank 8 subsequently is increased, reducing the energy required for heating, and achieving the purpose of improving energy utilization rate and reducing production costs.
