[0002] Electrolytic manganese powder is flammable and explosive in air, easily oxidized, dissolves and releases hydrogen when exposed to dilute acids, and can decompose water to release hydrogen gas at slightly above room temperature. Manganese powder [with a water content of ≥25%] is a flammable solid; extremely fine manganese dust can ignite upon contact with a ignition source, reacts with water or acid to release hydrogen gas, and can form an explosive mixture when mixed with oxidants. Using traditional dry mills for electrolytic manganese powder production poses significant safety hazards. Therefore, wet ball milling is primarily used for electrolytic manganese powder production. However, manganese powder products are prone to hydrolysis and oxidation, which presents drawbacks. To address this, the industrial technology for electrolytic manganese powder production is optimized to improve production safety. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment of the present invention, a safety device for large-scale industrial production of electrolytic manganese metal powder includes a ball mill 1 and a control terminal. The ball mill 1 is connected to a dust removal device 16 through a peripheral discharge pipe 14. The feed inlet of the ball mill 1 is provided with a feed chute 2, and the feed chute 2 is also connected to a nitrogen storage tank 10 through a nitrogen pipeline 5. The nitrogen in the nitrogen storage tank 10 is sourced from an air-compressed nitrogen generator 8. To address this issue, the ball mill 1 is a horizontal dry ball mill with peripheral discharge. The ball mill 1 is equipped with double-layer discharge valves 3 at its inlet and outlet. The exhaust port of the ball mill 1 is connected to a dust collector 12, and the exhaust pipe of the dust collector 12 returns to the specially designed feed inlet of the ball mill 1. The entire system uses nitrogen circulation to ensure that no explosion occurs during the electrolytic manganese metal powder production process, enabling large-scale industrial production.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a double-layer discharge valve 3 is provided at the top of the feed chute 2. The double-layer discharge valve 3 consists of two discharge valves connected in series. The top discharge valve closes after completing the discharge, while the bottom discharge valve discharges. Only one of the two discharge valves can be open at the same time. This feeding method can keep the ball mill 1 in a sealed state, reduce the entry of external oxygen, and also reduce the leakage of internal nitrogen or circulating gas.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, an ash discharge valve 15 is installed on the peripheral discharge pipe 14, and the output end of the nitrogen pipeline 5 is also connected to the ash removal equipment 16.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the ball mill 1 is also equipped with a dust removal system;
[0022] The dust removal system mainly consists of a dust collector 12. The ball mill 1 is connected to the dust collector 12 through a dust exhaust pipeline 13. The dust collector 12 is equipped with an explosion vent 11 at the top. The output end of the nitrogen pipeline 5 is also connected to the dust collector 12. There is also extremely fine manganese dust inside the dust collector 12, which may cause combustion and pose a safety hazard. The introduction of nitrogen can effectively prevent this.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the dust collector 12 is also equipped with a circulating air storage tank 9 and a chimney 7. The output end of the dust collector 12 is connected to an induced draft fan 6. The output end of the induced draft fan 6 is connected to the chimney 7 and the circulating air storage tank 9 respectively and is equipped with a valve to control the air flow direction. The circulating air storage tank 9 is connected to the feed chute 2 and the dust removal equipment 16 respectively through the circulating air pipeline 4. The gas is transported to the circulating air inlet of the feed chute 2 of the ball mill 1 through the pipeline by the induced draft fan 6, so that the gas is circulated and nitrogen is saved.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the nitrogen pipeline 5 is equipped with multiple valves that control the nitrogen gas path. The nitrogen delivery route is controlled by the nitrogen control valve, and the control terminal controls each valve.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a spiral discharge valve is installed at the material outlet of the peripheral discharge pipe 14 to prevent gas from the ball mill chamber 1 from being discharged from the peripheral discharge pipe 14.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, an online oxygen content detector is installed on the circulating air storage tank 9, the circulating air pipeline 4, and the dust exhaust pipeline 13. The control terminal controls the opening and closing of each valve based on the detection value of the online oxygen content detector.
[0027] The gas discharge port of the ball mill 1, which is also the dust exhaust pipeline 13, is connected to the dust collector 12. The dust in the chamber of the ball mill 1 is extracted and filtered through the dust collector bag. The gas is transported by the induced draft fan 6 through the pipeline to the circulating air inlet of the feed chute 2 of the ball mill 1. The dust collection pipeline of the ball mill 1, including the circulating air storage tank 9, the circulating air pipeline 4 and the dust exhaust pipeline 13, is equipped with an online oxygen content detector. When the oxygen content in the dust collection pipeline is lower than a certain index, firstly, supplementary nitrogen is introduced into the nitrogen inlet of the feed chute 2 of the ball mill 1; secondly, the outlet valve of the switching induced draft fan 6 is opened to switch the gas to direct discharge into the direct exhaust chimney 7.
[0028] The entire system is equipped with automatic nitrogen fire suppression. An online oxygen content detector is installed on the dust collection pipeline at the outlet of ball mill 1, and a nitrogen storage tank is provided. It is connected to several gas supply valves installed on the ash hopper of dust collector 12. In the event of a fire, all inlet and outlet pipeline valves on dust collector 12 are closed first, and the control valves are adjusted to fill the ball mill 1, dust collector 12 and dust removal equipment 16 with nitrogen to reduce the oxygen content and suppress the explosion of metallic manganese dust.
[0029] It should be noted that all the above embodiments belong to the same utility model concept, and the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. Where the description in a particular embodiment is not detailed, please refer to the description in other embodiments.
[0030] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
