Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of alumina production, especially relates to a system for eliminating new steam used in hot water tank of alumina production. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of alumina production, the filter cake after filtering of aluminum hydroxide needs hot water washing to reduce the attached alkali of the filter cake, the low-temperature hot water washing effect is poor, causes the attached alkali to rise, influences product quality and alkali loss, the hot water quantity of alumina production is limited, cannot fully meet the process demand of each part, causes the temperature of hot water tank to be low and the filter cake of aluminum hydroxide filtration to contain high alkali, the commonly used washing water temperature raising method is all to increase the heat exchanger and heat, but its process is complex and the heat exchanger cleaning and overhauling is difficult and high in cost, the most direct method is to heat using new steam, causes the waste of new steam consumption. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, I, II, III, IV: evaporator;1, 2, 3, 4, 5: condensate from the evaporating tank;①, ②, ③, ④: direct preheater;Z1, Z2: from the evaporator) in order to save energy, new steam heating is all carried out Ⅰ effect or extended to Ⅱ effect heating, the generated steam and high-temperature condensate from the evaporator are recovered to heat the next stage, due to the multiple recovery of steam heating, the condensate temperature (116 ℃) is relatively low, and the self-evaporation capacity of the condensate evaporating tank is limited, after mixing, the high-temperature condensate from the evaporator enters the 5-effect condensate evaporating tank for self-evaporation, and the amount of steam generated is also relatively small, causing the waste heat of the high-temperature condensate from the evaporator to be unable to be maximized. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0003] Therefore, the utility model aims at providing a system for eliminating new steam used in hot water tank of alumina production to at least solve the technical problem that the waste heat of high-temperature condensate from the evaporator cannot be maximized.

[0004] The utility model aims at realizing the following technical scheme:

[0005] A system for eliminating new steam used in hot water tank of alumina production, which comprises a pipeline system, one end of the pipeline system is connected with a high-temperature condensate outlet of a last-effect forced evaporator, the other end is located at least 3 meters below the liquid level of a hot water tank, the last-effect forced evaporator is a last-effect forced evaporator of two groups of multi-effect evaporators, and the hot water tank is a washing water heating tank for filter cake of aluminum hydroxide.

[0006] Further, it also comprises a second pipeline, one end of which is connected to the exhaust outlet of the thermoelectric deaerator, and the other end is located at least 3.5 meters below the liquid level of the hot water tank.

[0007] Further, the pipeline system comprises a main pipe, a coil pipe and a plurality of branch pipes, the main pipe is connected to the coil pipe, the coil pipe is horizontally located above the liquid level of the hot water tank, the coil pipe is connected to the plurality of branch pipes at uniform intervals, the main pipe is connected to the high-temperature condensed water outlet of the last-effect forced evaporator, and the plurality of branch pipes are located at least 3 meters below the liquid level of the hot water tank and are staggered in height.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0009] The system for eliminating the use of new steam of the hot water tank in the production of aluminum oxide provided by the utility model introduces the 116 DEG C high-temperature condensed water of the last-effect forced evaporator into the hot water tank through the pipeline system, can heat the water in the hot water tank to 92.3 DEG C, and still has a flow of 190 m3 / h, meets the washing water demand of the filter cake of aluminum hydroxide filtration and other demands, and does not need to introduce new steam into the hot water tank for heating, so that 3 t of new steam is saved per hour.

[0010] Compared with the traditional method of introducing the high-temperature condensed water of the last-effect forced evaporator into the V-effect condensed water self-evaporation tank to mix with the low-temperature condensed water, and using the condensed water self-evaporation tank to generate steam for recycling, according to the self-evaporation efficiency of the condensed water self-evaporation tank, the steam generated by the high-temperature condensed water of the last-effect forced evaporator can be ignored, and the amount of steam offset by the new steam of the evaporation system is far less than the 3 t / h of new steam saved by being introduced into the hot water tank, so that the waste heat of the high-temperature condensed water of the last-effect forced evaporator is maximized, and the effect of obvious energy saving and consumption reduction is achieved.

[0011] The high-temperature condensed water of the last-effect forced evaporator no longer enters the V-effect condensed water self-evaporation tank for self-evaporation, and has no obvious influence on the operation and energy saving of the evaporation system.

[0012] The exhaust gas of the thermoelectric deaerator 3 is accompanied by steam, and the exhaust gas of the thermoelectric deaerator 3 is introduced into the hot water tank through the second pipeline, so that the temperature of the water in the hot water tank can be further improved, and the noise pollution caused by emptying is eliminated.

[0013] The high-temperature condensed water is introduced into the liquid level of the hot water tank through the plurality of branch pipes, so that the mixing efficiency of the condensed water and the water in the hot water tank can be improved.

[0014] The other advantages, objects and features of the utility model will be described in the subsequent specification to some extent, and to some extent, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art based on the study of the following text or can be taught from the practice of the utility model. The objects and other advantages of the utility model can be realized and obtained by the following specification. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
