Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of alumina production equipment, specifically relates to a slurry tank convenient to clean. BACKGROUND

[0002] The raw slurry storage tank is an important equipment for storing raw slurry in the alumina production process, and is used for storing raw slurry. The raw slurry contains bauxite, lime, soda ash, anthracite and other components, and the bauxite usually contains a large amount of impurities such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide and silicon oxide. These impurities are easy to react with soda solution to produce water-insoluble compounds, which are attached to the inner wall of the raw slurry storage tank to form scabs. The adverse effects of scabs include: 1. It will reduce the effective volume of the tank and affect the running stability of the equipment, thereby reducing the production efficiency; 2. The scabs may contain unreacted bauxite components or other impurities, which may enter the alumina product and affect the product quality; 3. The long-term existence of scabs will cause corrosion and wear of the tank wall, shortening the service life of the equipment.

[0003] The raw slurry storage tank usually includes a tank body provided with an inlet and outlet, and a stirring device is usually arranged in the tank body. For the raw slurry storage tank with such structure, the commonly used scab cleaning methods include physical cleaning and chemical cleaning methods. The physical cleaning method includes mechanical cleaning, water cleaning and the like, which has the disadvantages of time-consuming and labor-consuming, low efficiency, and difficult to completely discharge the cleaning liquid due to the dead angle in the tank. The chemical cleaning method usually includes pickling and alkaline cleaning, which has the disadvantages of high cost due to the consumption of a large amount of acid or alkali, corrosion of the tank body, influence on the service life, and difficult to completely discharge the cleaning liquid due to the dead angle in the tank. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a slurry tank convenient to clean, and the utility model specifically includes the following contents:

[0005] The utility model discloses a slurry tank convenient to clean, including first tank body, second tank body and discharge and cleaning system, the first tank body is the cylinder structure of top closed, bottom open, is provided with the feed inlet on the top of first tank body, the second tank body includes the first section and the second section of detachable connection from top to bottom, the first section and the second section jointly constitute an inverted conical tank body, the top of inverted conical tank body is connected with the bottom of first tank body, and the first tank body, second tank body jointly constitute a slurry tank with the bottom of conical body, the lateral wall of second tank body first section is provided with the reserved mouth, and the reserved mouth is circumscribed first pipeline, and the discharge and cleaning system includes discharge pipe and cleaning feeding pipe, and discharge pipe, cleaning feeding pipe are connected with first pipeline through tee joint. The ratio of the height of the second section of the second tank to the total height of the second tank is 1:(5-15). If the height of the second section is too high, the weight of the second section during production and cleaning will be too large, causing the load at the connection between the first section and the second section to be too large, which can easily cause the connection to fall off and be damaged, which is not conducive to production safety and long-term use of the equipment. If the height of the second section is too low, the opening at the connection between the first section and the second section will be too small, which is not conducive to completely discharging the material later.

[0006] When cleaning is needed, the stirring is started, a certain amount of alkali red mud and water are added from the feed inlet, high-temperature steam is then added from the bottom to the slurry tank through the cleaning feeding pipe to play a stirring role while heating, after a period of time of steam is passed, high-pressure gas is continuously passed into the slurry tank through the cleaning feeding pipe to strengthen the stirring, after a period of high-temperature stirring, most of the deposited scabs in the slurry tank can be dissolved in the alkali red mud, the alkali red mud with dissolved scabs is then discharged from the discharge pipe or the cleaning feeding pipe, and finally the connection between the first section and the second section of the second tank is opened to completely discharge the alkali red mud at the conical tank bottom. In this way, one cleaning work is completed.

[0007] Further, the first section and the second section of the second tank are connected through a plurality of bolts.

[0008] Further, a sealing device is arranged at the connection between the first section and the second section of the second tank, which can be a sealing ring, a sealing gasket or other sealing devices arranged at the connection.

[0009] Further, a rotating connection device is arranged on the outer wall at the connection between the first section and the second section of the second tank, which can be a pin shaft, a hinge or the like, and the rotating connection device can be used to open the second section from the bottom of the first section after the connecting bolts between the first section and the second section are removed, so that the operation safety can be ensured and the subsequent installation is facilitated.

[0010] Further, control valves are respectively arranged on the first pipeline, the discharge pipe and the cleaning feeding pipe.

[0011] Further, the side wall of the first section of the second tank body is further provided with an observation window, and a transparent plate is sealed and covered on the observation window, which can be used for observing the scabbing condition and cleaning condition of the tank bottom.

[0012] The present application has the following advantages:

[0013] The pulp tank disclosed by the present application comprises a first tank body, a second tank body, and a discharging and cleaning system. When the pulp tank disclosed by the present application is used normally, the pulp is fed from the feeding port and discharged from the discharging pipe. When cleaning is needed, a certain amount of alkali red mud and water are added from the feeding port, and then high-temperature steam is added from the cleaning feeding pipe to the pulp tank from bottom to top, which plays a stirring role while heating. After the steam is passed for a period of time, high-pressure gas is continuously passed into the pulp tank from the cleaning feeding pipe to strengthen the stirring. After high-temperature stirring for a period of time, most of the deposited scabs in the pulp tank can be dissolved in the alkali red mud. Then, the alkali red mud with dissolved scabs is discharged from the discharging pipe or the cleaning feeding pipe. Finally, the connection between the first section and the second section of the second tank body is opened, so that the alkali red mud in the conical tank bottom is completely discharged. The second tank body is designed as a conical structure with an open bottom in the present application, which is not easy to scab and is also convenient for discharging the bottom deposits during cleaning. Moreover, the cleaning feeding pipe is additionally arranged at the discharging port, so that gas can be passed into the tank bottom during cleaning, which can realize heating in the tank and bring more disturbance. In this way, the tank body is not damaged, and better cleaning effect can be achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
