Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of indium extraction, in particular to an indium extraction device. Background Art
[0002] As a rare metal, indium is widely used in the semiconductor industry and can also be used as a high-grade alloy material. It also has a wide range of applications in the medical, chemical, glass, and electrical industries. However, higher-purity indium usually requires extraction, which is a key step in extracting indium from indium-containing materials.
[0003] Existing indium extraction devices use organic extractants to separate indium from aqueous solutions. These organic extractants have strong selectivity and affinity, effectively separating indium from other metal ions. However, current industrial extraction devices suffer from emulsification and third-phase pipe clogging.
[0004] The problem of a third phase clogging the pipeline in existing indium extraction devices is addressed by using a high-speed stirrer, a digital electric stirrer, and an ultrasonic vibrator. The digital electric stirrer mixes the light and heavy phases, while the high-speed stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator break up and disperse the third phase, thus preventing its formation. Without the formation of a third phase during the extraction process, the two phases of the mixture can come into contact more quickly and fully, shortening mixing time and improving extraction efficiency.
[0005] However, during the use of indium extraction equipment, the light and heavy phase separation solutions are not always evenly distributed, which can cause the liquids diverted by the light and heavy phase drain valves to mix. During the extraction process, the light phase is usually rich in extractant and extracted indium, while the heavy phase may contain other metal ions and impurities. If the light and heavy phases mix, the purity of the indium will be reduced, which will affect the quality of the final indium solution or require secondary separation, greatly increasing the complexity of the operation. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose an indium extraction device, which solves the problem that the third phase appears in the indium extraction process and blocks the pipeline.
[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] An indium extraction device includes a transparent frame and a light phase drain valve. A digital display electric stirrer is installed at the top of the transparent frame. A high-speed stirrer is installed at the top of the digital display electric stirrer. An ultrasonic vibrator is installed on the side of the digital display electric stirrer. A titanium cage is fixedly connected to the bottom of the high-speed stirrer. Several spoilers are fixedly connected to the bottom of the digital display electric stirrer. The high-speed stirrer, digital display electric stirrer, and ultrasonic vibrator are used to prevent the formation of a third phase, thereby preventing the third phase from clogging the pipeline.
[0009] As a further improvement to the present invention, a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the transparent frame's center. A movable groove is provided on the top of the transparent frame, away from the ultrasonic vibrating rod. A PPH baffle is slidably connected to the sliding groove. This allows for the easy replacement of PPH baffles of varying heights to facilitate adjustment of the solution height.
[0010] As a further improvement to the present invention, the transparent frame, on the side closest to the ultrasonic vibrating rod, is fixedly connected to a circulating hot water inlet and outlet, respectively. A heavy phase drain valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transparent frame, away from the outlet. The light phase drain valve is positioned above the outlet and slides on the inner side of the movable tank. This allows for the introduction of circulating hot water, facilitates heat preservation of the solution, and ensures that the organic phase does not emulsify due to low temperature.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the top end of the light phase liquid discharge valve is fixedly connected to an upper baffle, which is slidably connected to the top end of the movable groove. The bottom end of the light phase liquid discharge valve is fixedly connected to a lower bonding plate, the bottom end of the lower bonding plate is slidably connected to a first telescopic plate, and the bottom end of the first telescopic plate is slidably connected to a second telescopic plate. This allows the light phase liquid discharge valve to move without leaking.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the bottom end of the telescopic plate 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected to a plurality of springs 1, the bottom ends of which are all fixedly connected to the interior of the transparent frame. The bottom end of the lower bonding plate is evenly fixedly connected to a plurality of springs 2, the bottom ends of which are all fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the telescopic plate 1. This allows the bottom of the light phase liquid discharge valve to be freely extended and retracted.
[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, a fixed rod is fixedly connected to the side of the light phase liquid discharge valve, a sliding rod is slidably connected to the interior of the fixed rod on the side away from the light phase liquid discharge valve, a push handle is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod away from the upper baffle, and a plurality of fixed blocks are evenly fixedly connected to the outside of the transparent frame near the sliding rod, and the sliding rod is inserted into the interior of one of the fixed blocks. This allows the light phase liquid discharge valve to be quickly fixed after being moved to the appropriate position.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The digital electric stirrer mixes the light and heavy phases using a high-speed stirrer, an ultrasonic vibrator, a spoiler, and a titanium cage. The high-speed stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator then demulsify and disperse the third phase, preventing its formation. The digital electric stirrer's U-shaped structure and the presence of several spoilers on the blades significantly shorten extraction reaction time. The digital electric stirrer consists of three layers of micro-paddles and a porous titanium cage on the outer layer, which provides high-shear demulsification during mixing. Emulsification and the formation of a third phase can interfere with the extraction process, reducing extraction efficiency. Avoiding these two phenomena ensures more stable and controllable extraction conditions, thereby improving extraction efficiency. Avoiding these two phenomena prevents equipment corrosion and clogging, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, emulsification and the third phase can contain impurities or incompletely extracted ingredients. Avoiding these two phenomena ensures a higher purity of the final product, meeting higher quality requirements.
[0016] 2. Through the light phase discharge valve, upper baffle, lower bonding plate, telescopic plate 1 and telescopic plate 2, after the light and heavy separation of the liquid in the clarification separation tank is completed, since the liquid boundary is not exactly the same each time, the light phase discharge valve is controlled to move to the appropriate dividing line position, and then the sliding rod and the fixed block are fixed, so that the light phase discharge valve can be controlled to accurately discharge the upper light phase solution at the boundary each time. By precisely controlling the light phase discharge valve, it can be ensured that the upper light phase solution can be discharged in a timely and accurate manner after each extraction, thereby avoiding the reduction in extraction efficiency caused by solution retention or uneven mixing. This precise control helps to maintain the continuity and stability of the extraction process and improve the overall extraction efficiency. In the indium extraction process, the light phase is usually rich in the extracted indium element. By accurately controlling the discharge valve, it can be ensured that only the light phase solution rich in indium is discharged, avoiding the mixing of other impurities or incompletely extracted components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without violating the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly attached to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation methods.
[0027] As shown in the figure, an indium extraction device includes a PPH partition 104, a high-speed stirrer 105, a digital display electric stirrer 106, an ultrasonic vibration rod 107, a spoiler 108 and a titanium cage 109.
[0028] First, by activating the high-speed stirrer 105, the digital electric stirrer 106, and the ultrasonic vibrator 107, the light and heavy phases are mixed by the digital electric stirrer 106. Then, by activating the high-speed stirrer 105 and the ultrasonic vibrator 107, the third phase is demulsified and dispersed, thereby preventing its formation. The U-shaped structure of the digital electric stirrer 106, along with the spoilers 108 mounted on the blades, significantly shortens the extraction reaction time. The high-speed stirrer 105 consists of three layers of micro-paddles, and a titanium cage 109 is installed on the exterior of the high-speed stirrer 105. This allows the digital electric stirrer 106 to achieve a high-shear demulsification effect during mixing. The ultrasonic vibrator 107 effectively breaks up and disperses the third phase into extremely small particles during the extraction process. Combined with the spoilers 108, this prevents the formation of the third phase. Furthermore, the device is jacketed, allowing circulating hot water to flow through the periphery of the transparent frame 101 via the circulating hot water inlet 110 and the circulating hot water outlet 111. This facilitates heat preservation of the solution and prevents emulsification of the organic phase due to low temperature. Emulsification and the formation of a third phase can interfere with the normal extraction process, resulting in reduced extraction efficiency. By avoiding these two phenomena, the extraction process can be carried out under more stable and controllable conditions, thereby improving extraction efficiency.
[0029] Further, by observing the transparent frame 101, when the upper light phase solution and the lower heavy phase solution inside the transparent frame 101 are completely separated, the light phase discharge valve 112 is controlled to move up and down to the separation position. At this time, the upper baffle 201 and the lower bonding plate 202 at the top and bottom of the light phase discharge valve 112 will not let the solution flow out. When the separation position is at a higher position, the lower bonding plate 202 will pull the lower bonding plate 202, the telescopic plate 1 203 and the telescopic plate 2 204 to expand and contract. At this time, the spring 1 205 and the spring 2 206 will undergo elastic deformation. In order to prevent the spring from The light phase discharge valve 112 is moved by the pull of spring 1 205 and spring 2 206. The fixed rod 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the light phase discharge valve 112, and a push handle 208 is provided on the surface of the fixed rod 207. The sliding rod 209 sliding inside the fixed rod 207 is fixed by the push handle 208. By inserting the sliding rod 209 into a suitable fixed block 210 under the push of the push handle 208, the temporary fixing effect of the position of the light phase discharge valve 112 is achieved. Thus, the light phase discharge valve 112 can be controlled to accurately discharge the upper light phase solution at the boundary each time. By accurately controlling the light phase discharge valve 112, it can be ensured that the upper light phase solution can be discharged in a timely and accurate manner after each extraction, thereby avoiding the reduction in extraction efficiency caused by solution retention or uneven mixing.
[0030] Furthermore, when the solution height needs to be adjusted, the PPH partition 104 is pulled out from the sliding groove 102 and replaced with a PPH partition 104 of appropriate height, so that the effect of quickly adjusting the solution height during indium extraction can be achieved. By quickly adjusting the solution height, solid matter can be prevented from staying and accumulating in the extraction equipment for a long time, thereby reducing equipment blockage and the difficulty of cleaning.
[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
