Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to sorting equipment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of high-efficiency sorting device of red mud. BACKGROUND

[0002] Red mud produced in alumina production system is stored by damming as a kind of general solid waste, which occupies a large amount of land resources and has a great safety risk; the alkali contained in the red mud has a certain impact on the soil environment, groundwater and the surrounding environment; at the same time, the characteristics of powder form produce a large amount of dust in spring and autumn, which pollutes the air to a certain extent. Therefore, promoting the comprehensive utilization of red mud, absorbing new red mud and inventory red mud is a problem that needs to be solved urgently at present.

[0003] Through laboratory analysis of red mud particle size and characteristics, the particle size of the particles with high iron content can be used as raw materials for the steel industry (generally, the particles above +325 sieve can be applied to the steel industry), and the existing technology uses grading screening for solid recovery of different particle sizes, but the red mud contains a certain amount of liquid and has high viscosity, so the screening effect of conventional filter screens or separators with different pore sizes is not good, therefore, the cyclone method can be used for separation, which utilizes the differences in centrifugal force, centripetal buoyancy and fluid drag force caused by the particle size difference between coarse particles and fine particles to achieve the purpose of separation and classification. For example, a cyclone for extracting iron from red mud is disclosed in Chinese patent CN209597445U, but the cyclone cylinder in this patent is a one-piece cone, and the underflow port is a cylindrical shape with a uniform diameter, the separation effect is poor, and the overflow port is integrally provided without special design. The device in this patent has high requirements for particle size control, and the grading effect for dispersed particles is poor, the underflow port with a uniform diameter cannot adjust the quality, and the single fixed mode cannot fully separate the red mud, causing waste, and the fixed design of the overflow port lacks flexibility, cannot reduce the overflow by adjusting the central tube, and the valuable iron elements cannot be completely extracted, and the device is damaged and difficult to replace. Therefore, the structure of the red mud separation device still needs to be further improved to meet the needs of better separation effect and convenient use and maintenance. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model designs a separation device that can efficiently separate red mud with high iron content according to the different particle sizes of red mud, and the specific scheme is as follows:

[0005] The utility model discloses a kind of bauxite residue high-efficiency sorting devices, comprising: end cap, center tube, conical cylinder and horn mouth formula shrinkage body, the end cap is hollow structure, the center tube is with the rim formula cylinder, the conical cylinder is connected by a hollow cylinder and multiple hollow circular table with different diameters in turn, the hollow cylinder side is provided with bauxite inlet, the horn mouth formula shrinkage body is the cylinder with flange at end, internally set with conical hole;The end cap is fixed above the conical cylinder, the rim part of the center tube is placed on the conical cylinder, and the cylinder part of the center tube is located in the conical cylinder, the hollow part of the end cap is located directly above the center tube, the horn mouth formula shrinkage body is fixed via its flange at the lower end of the conical cylinder;Wherein, the inner diameter of the center tube is 140mm-180mm, the angle α of the conical hole of the horn mouth formula shrinkage body is 45 °-60 °, the inner diameter of the center tube and the maximum inner diameter ratio of the conical hole of the horn mouth formula shrinkage body is 1.8-2.1.

[0006] Further, the inner diameter ratio of the hollow cylinder in the conical cylinder and the inner diameter of the center tube is 3.2-3.6.

[0007] Further, the center tube is coated with wear-resistant coating, which can prolong service life.

[0008] Further, the conical cylinder is composed of a hollow cylinder, a first hollow circular table, a second hollow circular table and a third hollow circular table, which are fixedly connected in turn from top to bottom, the diameters of the connecting surfaces are the same, and the diameters decrease from top to bottom.

[0009] Further, the included angle between the oblique side and the bottom side of the first hollow circular table is the same as that of the second hollow circular table.

[0011] (1) the utility model adopts the mode that the center tube and the horn mouth formula shrinkage body are combined, realizes the purpose of high-efficiency grading of bauxite with different particle sizes by the size cooperation of the center tube and the horn mouth formula shrinkage body, the improved center tube device can maximize the extraction of valuable elements, and the iron in bauxite is fully extracted, the purpose of setting the movable mode is to adjust at any time, different thickness and size of the center tube can be replaced at any time according to the different properties of ore and the change of material, the horn mouth formula shrinkage body is set, and the angle is limited in a certain range, so that the sorting effect of the material with small solid content is poor due to the too large angle of the shrinkage body, or the material with high solid content is greatly wasted due to the too small angle, therefore, the reasonable size can obviously improve the yield, and the index can meet the requirements of raw materials required by the steel industry, and the effect of extracting valuable materials from general solid waste is achieved through reasonable configuration.

[0012] (2) and for the cone cylinder split design, and the design of different inclination, because the material into the way, from the side with tangent into, in the uniform diameter cylinder, with the energy attenuation, the bottom speed decreases, centrifugal force decreases, the separation effect is poor, therefore through the setting of different gradient diameter, make inside from top to bottom centripetal force and centrifugal force as far as possible to keep consistent, reach the high efficiency operation mode.

[0013] Therefore, the utility model solves the problem that the alumina red mud separation effect is poor and can only be stored by damming, and opens up a new way for red mud reduction and storage reduction. The utility model reduces the size of the center tube, matches the appropriate split body, and makes the effective product output rate reach more than 30%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
