By utilizing the automatic acid adjustment control system technology, the acid adjustment is automatically controlled through the DCS control system of the workshop central control center.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0019] The embodiments will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1As shown in the preferred embodiment 1, an automatic control system for sodium hypophosphite acid conditioning includes several acid conditioning vessels 12 connected in parallel. The inlet of each acid conditioning vessel 12 is connected to the feed pipeline 3 through an acid conditioning vessel feed valve 5. The air inlet of each acid conditioning vessel 12 is connected to the compressed air pipeline 10 through a compressed air feed valve 11. The acid inlet of each acid conditioning vessel 12 is connected to the hypophosphite feed pipeline 7 through a hypophosphite feed valve 9. The outlet of each acid conditioning vessel 12 is connected in parallel to the acid conditioning vessel discharge pump 16 through an acid conditioning vessel discharge valve 15.
[0021] Each of the acidification tanks 12 is equipped with a level sensor 13 and an online pH monitor 14. The level sensor 13, the online pH monitor 14, the acidification tank feed valve 5, the compressed air feed valve 11, the hypophosphorous acid feed valve 9, and the acidification tank discharge valve 15 are all connected to an external DCS control system. The level sensor 13 is linked with the corresponding acidification tank feed valve 5 on the acidification tank 12 through the external DCS control system. The online pH monitor 14 is linked with the corresponding compressed air feed valve 11, hypophosphorous acid feed valve 9, and acidification tank discharge valve 15 on the acidification tank 12 through the external DCS control system.
[0022] The liquid level is detected by the liquid level sensor 13, and the feeding amount is controlled by the DCS control system for automatic feeding; the pH value is detected by the online pH monitor 14, and the pH adjustment process is controlled by the DCS control system.
[0023] The acid conditioning reactor inlet valve 5, compressed air inlet valve 11, hypophosphoric acid inlet valve 9, and acid conditioning reactor outlet valve 15 are all electrically controlled valves. This facilitates linkage control via a DCS control system.
[0024] The feed line 3 is connected to the valve at the outlet of the acid-adjusting feed tank 1 via the acid-adjusting feed pump 2.
[0025] An acid-adjusting feed flow meter 4 is installed on the side of the feed pipeline 3 near the acid-adjusting feed pump 2. This facilitates control of the feed rate.
[0026] The compressed air line 10 is connected to a clean compressed air source. It is used for preliminary pH adjustment and stabilization.
[0027] The hypophosphite feed pipeline 7 is connected to the valve at the outlet of the hypophosphite storage tank 6.
[0028] A hypophosphite flow meter 8 is installed on the side of the hypophosphite feed pipeline 7 near the hypophosphite storage tank 6 to facilitate control of the discharge rate.
[0029] The discharge port of the acid conditioning reactor discharge pump 16 is connected to the acid conditioning discharge fine filter 17. After being filtered by the acid conditioning discharge fine filter 17, the discharge from the acid conditioning reactor enters the evaporation feed storage tank 18.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment 2, the pH online monitor 14 can be an MDC-P1 / P2 pH online monitor, and the liquid level sensor 13 can be a PCM266 liquid level sensor.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model:
[0032] 1. After passing the carbonization process and filtering, the liquid enters the acid conditioning feed tank 1 in preparation for acid conditioning. The acid conditioning tank feed valve 5 is opened, and the system automatically pumps the liquid directly into the acid conditioning tank 12 through the acid conditioning feed pump 2 and the acid conditioning feed pipeline 3. When the system reaches the set liquid level through the automatic liquid level sensor 13, the feed valve 5 is automatically closed to stop feeding. The compressed air valve 11 is opened, and clean compressed air is introduced through the compressed air pipeline 10 for stirring.
[0033] 2. The system automatically displays the feed rate through the feed flow meter 4. After the automatic pH online monitor 14 detects that the pH value of the feed solution is stable, the system automatically starts the hypophosphite feed valve 9 to inject qualified hypophosphite into the acid conditioning tank for acid conditioning. The system's automatic pH detection system runs at the same time. When the pH value reaches the qualified range, the hypophosphite feed valve is adjusted to decrease. After the pH value of the feed solution is detected to be qualified, the hypophosphite feed is automatically stopped.
[0034] 3. After the pH value of the liquid stabilizes for about half an hour without change and remains within the qualified range, the system automatically shuts off the compressed gas agitator, opens the bottom discharge valve 15 of the acid conditioning tank, and uses the discharge pump 16 of the acid conditioning tank to pass the liquid through the fine filter 17 for one fine filtration. The qualified liquid enters the evaporation feed storage tank 18, and is automatically fed by the evaporation feed pump for evaporation.
