Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solid material cleaning devices, in particular to a boric acid cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] Polarizers are a core component in the LCD panel industry. Iodine-based polarizers, made from a combination of iodine molecules and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), have the highest market share in the polarizer production process. To prepare these polarizers, the PVA film is dyed in an iodine-containing solution. The main components of this solution are elemental iodine, potassium iodide, and boric acid. As the iodine solution is consumed during the dyeing process, the resulting iodine-containing waste liquid needs to be treated.
[0003] The common treatment method for iodine-containing wastewater involves pretreatment, distillation, and separation. By leveraging solubility differences and controlling the concentration ratio, a high content of boric acid can be obtained. However, the boric acid at this stage contains 1% to 5% potassium iodide, making it unsuitable for commercial use and requiring further purification. Currently, acidification is the most common method for purifying boric acid. Because boric acid is a weak acid, strong acids can be used to convert borates into boric acid. While this method is simple, the resulting salty filtrate is high in yield and difficult to process. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing production technology, the applicant provides a boric acid cleaning device with a rational structure, which utilizes the waste heat of steam condensate to clean boric acid containing potassium iodide, thereby improving the cleaning and removal efficiency of potassium iodide in boric acid.
[0005] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0006] A boric acid cleaning device comprises a cleaning tank, wherein a stirring paddle is provided in the middle of the cleaning tank, an output port is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank, the output port is connected to an automatic centrifuge, and a discharge port is provided at one end of the bottom of the automatic centrifuge; a pump is provided at one end of the cleaning tank, one end of the pump is connected to a No. 1 steam condensate pipe, the No. 1 steam condensate pipe is connected to a steam condensate water source, and the other end of the pump is connected to the cleaning tank through a No. 2 steam condensate pipe, and the steam pipeline is also included, and the steam pipeline extends to the bottom position of the cleaning tank. An elevator is provided at the other end of the cleaning tank, the bottom of the elevator is a feed port, and the top of the elevator is connected to the top surface of the cleaning tank.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:
[0008] The outer wall surface of the cleaning tank is provided with a heat-insulating layer.
[0009] The insulation material of the insulation layer is high temperature resistant rock wool covered with aluminum plate.
[0010] A thermometer and a radar level gauge are installed on the top surface of the cleaning tank.
[0011] The stirring paddles adopt two pairs of triangular blades.
[0012] An on-off valve is installed on the No. 2 steam condensate pipe.
[0013] The No. 2 steam condensate pipe is connected to the top surface of the cleaning tank.
[0014] The pump is a stainless steel multi-stage centrifugal pump.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0016] The utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. Through the mutual cooperation between steam condensate, a pump, a cleaning tank, a hoist, an automatic centrifuge and various pipelines, it is convenient to utilize the waste heat of steam condensate to clean boric acid containing potassium iodide, and the cleaning and removal efficiency of potassium iodide in boric acid can be improved.
[0017] The utility model does not require the addition of acid for purification when cleaning boric acid. Because the concentration ratio of the iodine-containing waste liquid is controlled in the previous process, the obtained boric acid contains only 1% to 5% of potassium iodide. Since the solubility of potassium iodide is greater than that of boric acid, the small amount of potassium iodide contained in the boric acid can be fully dissolved in the cleaning water during the cleaning process at a temperature greater than 50°C. Finally, the potassium iodide content in the boric acid is less than 0.1%, and the boric acid content is greater than 99%.
[0018] The main facility cleaning tank of the utility model uses the steam condensed water of the distillation of the previous iodine-containing waste liquid as cleaning water, and an insulation layer is provided on the outside of the cleaning tank to ensure that the water temperature is maintained above 50°C during the cleaning process. The temperature is monitored by a set temperature sensor. If the temperature is lower than the set temperature, steam can be turned on for heating to ensure that the water temperature is within a reasonable range during the entire cleaning process. That is, the waste heat of the steam condensed water is fully utilized and the thermal insulation performance of the cleaning system is guaranteed to ensure the cleaning effect.
