Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical equipment, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency normal-pressure reaction tank. Background Art
[0002] In the pressure leaching process of nickel and cobalt, a large amount of heat is released during the reaction inside the tank. In addition, the corrosion of the joints by steam and chlorine and structural deformation can lead to chlorine leakage. The material has a large specific gravity and will form an accumulation at the bottom of the tank, causing the bottom layer of paddles to be buried and unable to operate normally. The gas enters the tank in a single-point direct injection form, which greatly reduces the utilization rate of chlorine. During the operation of the agitator, the reaction time is long and most of the chlorine is lost through the collection port of the tank cover. Too much solid material accumulates in the tank, making it impossible to circulate and stir the material, resulting in poor stirring effect, low leaching rate, and long reaction time. When the medium in the tank reaches its maximum value, the accumulation of material will cause the agitator shaft, impeller, etc. to bend, which will in turn damage the bearings of the bracket support points. After the bearings are damaged, the reducer and motor will also be damaged. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses a high-efficiency normal pressure reaction tank, including a tank body 1, a tank bottom support 11, a liquid outlet 12, a guide tube 13, a tank cover 2, a chlorine pipe 21, a liquid inlet pipe 22, a steam pipe 23, an exhaust port 24, a chlorine pipe 21, a compressed air pipe 26, a manhole 27, a seal 28, an air outlet 29, an air outlet 29, an air outlet 29, a stirring device 3, a frequency conversion motor 31, a reducer 32, a stirring bracket 33, a stirring shaft 34, an upper blade 35, a middle blade 36, and a lower blade 37.
[0016] The trough body 1 is in contact with the ground using a trough bottom support 11, which is made of Q235 channel steel arranged at equal distances and welded to the trough bottom; a liquid outlet 12 is set on the side, which is set on the upper part of the guide tube and is lined with corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant pipes; a guide tube 13 is set on the inner wall, which is made of titanium and has a semicircular structure and is welded to the inner wall of the trough body 1.
[0017] The tank cover 2 is sequentially equipped with a chlorine pipe 21, a liquid inlet pipe 22, a steam pipe 23, an exhaust port 24, a compressed air pipe 26, and a manhole 27. A flanged opening on the top of the tank cover connects to the pipe flanges, which extend deep into the tank body 1. The chlorine pipe 21 provides the chlorine required for the reaction; the liquid inlet pipe 22 provides the ore slurry required for the reaction; the steam pipe 23 heats the ore slurry to provide the required reaction temperature; the exhaust port 24 is connected to the exhaust gas absorption device to remove the exhaust gas generated by the reaction; the compressed air pipe 26 is inserted into the bottom of the guide tube 13 to provide kinetic energy to allow the ore slurry that has passed the reaction to be discharged from the tank body 1; and the manhole 27 is used to enter the tank body 1 for equipment maintenance or troubleshooting.
[0018] The stirring device 3 is equipped with a variable frequency motor 31, a speed reducer 32, a stirring bracket 33, a stirring shaft 34, an upper blade 35, a middle blade 36, and a lower blade 37. The variable frequency motor 31 automatically adjusts the stirring speed according to the slurry density and torque.
[0019] The chlorine pipe 21 and the steam pipe 23 are sequentially provided with a plurality of evenly distributed gas outlets 29, gas outlets 29, and gas outlets 29, which are used to evenly add gas, improve the gas fusion effect and heating uniformity, and improve the reaction efficiency.
[0020] The seal 28 is located between the tank body and the tank cover, and plays a sealing role to prevent gas leakage during the reaction process from polluting the on-site environment.
[0021] The stirring shaft 34 is equipped with upper blades 35, middle blades 36, and lower blades 37. The upper blades 35 are four-pitch-blade open turbine agitators, while the middle blades 36 and lower blades 37 are three-blade swept blades. The four-pitch-blade open turbine blades generate axial force, primarily promoting vertical fluid exchange, forcing convection and uniform mixing of the gas-liquid medium. They can be combined with three-blade swept blades to prevent splashing during the circulation process. Three-blade swept blades offer a higher volumetric circulation rate and shearing effect, and can adapt to increased viscosity during the reaction process, allowing a single layer to replace multiple layers in other agitators. In a three-blade swept agitator, the liquid flow rotates upward near the tank wall and downward from the center, creating a circular flow. The circulation effect of the three-blade swept blades requires the use of finger-shaped baffles distributed on the tank sidewalls to optimize chlorine gas dispersion. These blades can break up and disperse the bubbles of material and chlorine gas, ensuring full contact between the material and chlorine gas.
[0022] After the slurry reaction is complete, the compressed air pipe 26 is opened to blow air to the bottom of the guide tube 13, so that the slurry rises along the guide tube and is discharged from the liquid outlet 12 to enter the next process.
