Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an ion exchange column, in particular to a novel ion exchange column. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the stone coal vanadium extraction industry, there are two main ways to enrich vanadium pentoxide, namely extraction stripping method and resin adsorption analysis method. In the resin adsorption analysis method for vanadium enrichment, the ion exchange column is the key equipment. Most of the existing ion exchange columns use a simple single-stage exchange column with a simple structure. The exchange liquid enters from the top of the exchange column, passes through the resin bed, and the exchanged liquid flows out from the bottom. The resin filling volume is generally 1-5m 3 .

[0003] A single-stage exchange column is filled with a certain amount of adsorption exchange resin. The filling amount of the resin is generally 1-5m 3 The vanadium-containing liquid flows in from the top, passes through the resin layer and flows out from the bottom. The top is generally open to the atmosphere, and a water distribution cap is installed at the bottom to prevent the resin from escaping. The problem with single-stage exchange columns is that due to the limited amount of resin filled and the single-stage exchange, the wall effect is prone to occur during operation, forming a siphon phenomenon, which causes liquid short-circuiting and leads to a high vanadium concentration in the liquid after adsorption. The occurrence of siphon phenomenon can easily cause the resin bed to become compressed and dense, and incomplete resin regeneration can easily form resin lumps, affecting the resin's exchange capacity. Resin decomposition and regeneration require manual stirring, which is labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a new ion exchange column with improved liquid inlet, bottom, and top structures. A multi-point back-flushing system is designed for the exchange column. This increases the column volume, increasing the resin loading capacity per column. These improvements effectively mitigate the vessel wall effect and siphoning, preventing the resin bed from becoming compressed and dense. The multi-point back-flushing system allows for more thorough resin flushing and regeneration, reducing labor intensity.
