Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a filtering device, in particular to a filtering device for recycling crude valine mother liquor. Background Art

[0002] Valine crude mother liquor is a by-product produced during the valine production process, which contains rich L-valine.

[0003] Crude valine mother liquor contains not only L-valine but also other impurities and residues from the fermentation process. Direct discharge of these residues would pollute the environment. However, the L-valine contained in crude valine mother liquor can be used as animal feed or farmland fertilizer, making it valuable for practical applications. The mother liquor can be filtered and processed to extract the L-valine, reducing environmental pollution while also offsetting some production costs through the use of byproducts.

[0004] The mother liquor treatment process includes filtration, purification, refining, and crystallization drying. During the filtration stage, traditional filtration methods remove impurities in the liquid through pre-filtration and secondary filtration. However, since the liquid contains bacteria and impurities of different sizes and components, the pre-treatment filter components may not be able to effectively cope with the impact of different impurities on the filter membrane. During filtration, a large amount of impurities will adhere to the filter membrane, affecting the filtration efficiency and requiring frequent cleaning, which will have a significant negative impact on the processing efficiency and equipment life. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional filtration methods, impurities in the liquid are removed through pre-filtration and secondary filtration during operation. However, since the liquid contains bacteria and impurities of different sizes and components, the pre-treatment filtration components may not be able to effectively cope with the impact of different impurities on the filter membrane. During filtration, a large amount of impurities will adhere to the filter membrane, affecting the filtration efficiency and requiring frequent cleaning, which will have a significant negative impact on the processing efficiency and equipment life. The purpose is to provide a filtration device for pre-filtering the mother liquor and effectively reducing the clogging of the filter membrane for the reuse of crude valine mother liquor.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: a filtering device for recycling crude valine mother liquor, comprising a support frame, a filter cartridge, an end cover, a liquid inlet pipe, a reflux pipe, a liquid extraction pipe, a liquid discharge pipe, a spiral filter membrane, a liquid collecting pipe 1 and a liquid collecting pipe 2. The filter cartridge is vertically installed on the support frame, and the filter cartridge is centrally arranged. End covers are provided at both upper and lower ends of the filter cartridge, and a liquid extraction pipe and a liquid discharge pipe are provided on the upper and lower end covers respectively. One end of the liquid extraction pipe and the liquid discharge pipe both extend into the interior of the filter cartridge, a liquid collecting pipe 1 is provided on the upper end of the liquid extraction pipe, and a liquid collecting pipe 2 is provided on the lower end of the discharge pipe. A liquid inlet pipe and a reflux pipe are respectively provided on the upper and lower side walls of the filter cartridge, and a spiral filter membrane is provided on the inner wall of the filter cartridge. The cross-section of the spiral filter membrane is semicircular and spirally arranged along the inner wall of the filter cartridge. The upper and lower ends of the spiral filter membrane are respectively connected to the liquid inlet pipe and the reflux pipe. The liquid from the liquid inlet pipe enters the spiral filter membrane, and the liquid not filtered by the spiral filter membrane will be discharged from the reflux pipe.

[0007] Optionally, the system also includes a filter element, a slag discharge pipe, and a control valve. A communication pipe is connected between the liquid inlet pipe and the slag discharge pipe.

[0008] Optionally, a filter element is further included. A filter element is provided inside the filter cartridge. The top of the filter element is connected to the inside of the upper end cover and is closed by the upper end cover.

[0010] Optionally, multiple sets of filtering devices are provided on the support frame.

[0011] The beneficial effect is: the utility model arranges a spiral filter membrane to be connected with the liquid inlet pipe. When the liquid flow to be filtered is introduced into the filter cartridge, it will flow along the arrangement of the spiral filter membrane. The impurities in the liquid flow are blocked in the filter membrane.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: A filtration device for recycling crude valine mother liquor, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a support frame 1, on which a filtering device is provided. Specifically, a filter cartridge 2 is firmly provided on the support frame 1. The filter cartridge 2 adopts a center-through design to facilitate the circulation and treatment of liquid. The upper and lower ends of the filter cartridge 2 are equipped with end caps 21. These end caps 12 not only play a sealing role, but also provide installation interfaces for the liquid suction pipe 41 and the liquid discharge pipe 42. The liquid suction pipe 41 and the liquid discharge pipe 42 are respectively installed on the upper and lower end caps 21. One end of the liquid suction pipe 41 and the liquid discharge pipe 42 are both deeply inserted into the interior of the filter cartridge 2 to ensure that the liquid can be efficiently extracted and discharged. Among them, the upper end of the liquid suction pipe 41 is connected to the liquid collecting pipe 1 51 for collecting the liquid that has been preliminarily filtered; and the lower end of the liquid discharge pipe 42 is connected to the liquid collecting pipe 2 52, which is responsible for discharging impurities deposited in the filter cartridge 6 during operation or liquid during cleaning and maintenance.

[0020] A liquid inlet pipe 3 is provided at the upper part of the side wall of the filter cartridge 2, which is used to introduce the crude valine mother liquor to be treated into the filter cartridge 2, and a reflux pipe 4 is provided at the lower part of the side wall of the filter cartridge 2, which is responsible for discharging the liquid that has not been filtered by the spiral filter membrane 5 and returning it to the storage container to be filtered again, forming a closed-loop liquid flow path. It is worth mentioning that a spiral filter membrane 5 is provided on the inner wall of the filter cartridge 2, and its cross-section is semicircular and spirally arranged along the inner wall of the filter cartridge 2. This design not only increases the filtration area, but also enables the liquid flow to form a rotating flow when passing through, thereby more effectively capturing impurities. The upper and lower ends of the spiral filter membrane 5 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet pipe 3 and the reflux pipe 4, ensuring smooth flow and efficient filtration of the liquid.

[0021] When the crude valine mother liquor enters the filter cartridge 2 through the liquid inlet pipe 3, it will be introduced into the spiral filter membrane 5. Under the guidance of the spiral filter membrane 5, the liquid will flow along its spiral shape and impurities will be captured by the filter membrane during the flow. The liquid that is not captured will continue to flow and eventually be discharged through the reflux pipe 4. In this process, the liquid with a certain flow rate can flush the inner wall of the filter membrane while rotating and filtering in the filter membrane, effectively avoiding clogging by impurities and ensuring the treatment effect and treatment flux.

[0022] Among them, there are multiple sets of filtering equipment on the above-mentioned bracket, which further improves the processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0023] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 2-3 As shown, the filter element 6 is also included. The liquid inlet pipe 3 and the slag discharge pipe 61 are cleverly connected by an interconnecting pipe, and the filter element 6 is installed on this interconnecting pipe. The interior of the filter element 6 is closely connected to the interior of the interconnecting pipe to ensure that the liquid can pass smoothly. A layer of fine filter membrane is provided on the inner side of the upper part of the filter element 6. This filter membrane can effectively capture particulate impurities in the liquid discharged from the reflux pipe 4. At the same time, a slag discharge pipe 61 is connected to the side wall of the filter element 6, which is used to regularly discharge impurities accumulated in the filter element 6. In order to control the flow of the liquid, a control valve 62 is also provided on the upper part of the interconnecting pipe. By adjusting the opening and closing of the control valve 62, the flow direction and flow rate of the liquid can be flexibly controlled.

[0024] When the liquid in the reflux pipe 4 flows out, it will first enter the filter element 6 through the interconnecting pipe. Here, the filter membrane on the filter element 6 will play its role to block the granular impurities in the liquid. The liquid after the impurities are removed will continue to flow through the filter element 6 and the interconnecting pipe, and finally return to the liquid inlet pipe 3 for secondary treatment. This design not only improves the purity of the liquid, but also enables the reuse and treatment of the liquid discharged from the reflux pipe 4 to be completed in one workstation, thereby optimizing the treatment process.

[0025] Furthermore, to better control the temperature during the filtration process, a temperature control cylinder 7 is wrapped around the outside of the filter cartridge 2. The interior of the temperature control cylinder 7 is hollow and equipped with two connectors 71, both of which communicate with the interior of the temperature control cylinder 7. These connectors 71 facilitate the injection or removal of a temperature-regulating medium into or out of the temperature control cylinder 7, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature within the filter cartridge 2 and ensuring that the temperature of the liquid being processed in the filter cartridge 2 remains within the optimal treatment range.

[0026] A filter element 8 is added inside the filter cartridge 2. The top of the filter element 8 is tightly connected to the inside of the upper end cover 21 and is fixed in the filter cartridge 2 by the sealing effect of the end cover 21. There is a certain gap between the outer wall of the filter element 8 and the inner wall of the filter cartridge 2. This gap provides sufficient space for the flow of liquid. The addition of the filter element 8 further improves the processing capacity and filtering effect of the filtering device.

[0027] In order to monitor the temperature of the liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 3 in real time, a detector 9 is also provided on the liquid inlet pipe 3. This detector 9 is a temperature detector 9. Its detection end is inserted into the liquid inlet pipe 3 and can accurately measure the temperature of the liquid. Through real-time monitoring by the detector 9, abnormal temperature conditions can be discovered and handled in a timely manner to ensure the smooth progress of the filtration process. At the same time, the detector 9 can be connected to the temperature control device of the tube connected to the temperature control cylinder 7 in the joint for signal connection, which helps the temperature control device to make early judgment and changes in the temperature before the temperature medium is transported according to the liquid inlet temperature.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
