[0021] Figure 1 A sodium aluminate solution preparation system suitable for an embodiment of the present utility model is schematically shown.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a sodium aluminate solution preparation system, comprising: a reaction tank and a sedimentation tank, wherein the reaction tank and the sedimentation tank are connected, the reaction tank is connected to a lime milk solution, and the sedimentation tank is connected to a flocculant emulsion.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present application, it is necessary to add lime milk to generate calcium silicon slag in the process of reducing silicon dioxide content in sodium aluminate solution to increase the silicon content index. The calcium hydroxide in lime milk has the characteristic of being slightly soluble, and the overflow in the sedimentation tank will be filtered, but some of the Ca2+ ions are difficult to remove by filtering. As the sodium aluminate solution enters the decomposition process, it finally enters AL(OH)3, causing product quality to decline. Therefore, it is necessary to add a certain concentration of flocculant emulsion according to the ratio during the sedimentation of the sedimentation tank to reduce the interfacial tension of the solid-liquid interface, increase the contact angle of the solid-liquid interface, promote the aggregation of surfactants on the interface, flocculate the slightly soluble calcium hydroxide, reduce the Ca ion content in the sodium aluminate solution, and meet the production indicators of downstream merchants.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the mixer is used to receive alkaline water and flocculant, and mix the two to prepare flocculant emulsion.

[0028] Exemplarily, it further includes: a filter, which is connected to the sedimentation tank.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, the bottom flow in the sedimentation tank enters the filter for filtering operation to obtain calcium silicon slag.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the feeding trough is used to receive raw materials.
