Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of battery material production equipment, and particularly relates to a waste heat recovery and utilization system for a sodium battery cathode material production line. Background Technique
[0002] The roller hearth kiln is a light-weight continuous industrial kiln and is widely used as a heating device in fields such as ceramics, metallurgy, and machinery. In actual sintering processes, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas is discharged every time. The exhaust gas generates a large amount of heat, and the flue gas flow rate is also relatively high. This not only causes serious environmental pollution but also wastes a large amount of precious energy, which cannot be ignored. Reasonably and fully utilizing industrial waste heat can reduce the energy consumption per unit product and can achieve considerable economic benefits.
[0003] From the perspective of the processing production line of sodium battery cathode materials, it mainly includes processes such as mixing, sintering, crushing, screening, and packaging. Among them, since the cathode material is very sensitive to environmental humidity, in many processes, the workshops of many enterprises have high requirements for the industrial environment, and some even reach a dew point of -10 to -40, and tend to develop towards a lower dew point. Generally speaking, the lower the dew point, the greater the power consumption and the higher the electricity cost. The screening and packaging processes have also become one of the processes with the highest requirements for the industrial environment and the highest energy consumption in the production process of cathode materials. Therefore, in order to cope with continuous cost reduction and zero-carbon transformation, cathode material enterprises need to continuously make efforts on the basis of reducing production costs while taking into account material performance. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a waste heat recovery and utilization system for a sodium battery cathode material production line. This system can effectively collect and utilize the excess heat generated by the roller hearth kiln, improve the energy utilization rate of industrial production, and make it applicable not only to restaurants, bathrooms, etc. in daily life but also to the dehumidification needs of places where humidity needs to be controlled in industrial production.
