Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of phosphoric acid production equipment, specifically to a sulfuric acid addition device for a wet phosphoric acid extraction tank. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphoric acid, as an important chemical raw material, plays a pivotal role in my country's chemical industry. Industrial phosphoric acid is typically obtained by extracting phosphate rock with sulfuric acid, producing calcium sulfate (commonly known as phosphogypsum) as a byproduct. Calcium sulfate dihydrate has the advantages of large crystal particles and easy filtration and separation, so phosphoric acid production enterprises generally adopt the wet phosphoric acid extraction process.

[0003] In wet-process phosphoric acid production, sulfuric acid is usually added to the extraction tank at a concentration of 98%. The dilution of concentrated sulfuric acid releases heat, causing local overheating of the slurry. At the same time, during the feeding process, the sulfuric acid is not well dispersed throughout the slurry. Sulfate ions cause local "supersaturation" and spontaneously form crystal nuclei, generating gypsum crystals that are not conducive to filtration.

[0004] Meanwhile, in actual use, after sulfuric acid and back acid (dilute phosphoric acid) are mixed in the mixer and splashed onto the slurry surface, the high temperature causes a large amount of fluorine to overflow, which not only wastes fluorine but also increases the burden on the tail washing system. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sulfuric acid addition device for a wet phosphoric acid extraction tank, which can effectively improve the supersaturation of the slurry in the extraction tank and improve gypsum crystallization in actual use; at the same time, it can also reduce the overflow of fluorine and fix the gaseous fluorine into the liquid phase for recycling.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A sulfuric acid addition device for a wet phosphoric acid extraction tank includes a main sulfuric acid pipeline, wherein a plurality of branching components are provided on the main sulfuric acid pipeline, the plurality of branching components are used to extend into the extraction tank, and the discharge ends of the branching components are all located below the liquid surface in the extraction tank.

[0008] The branching assembly includes a branching main pipe, a first valve, a flow meter, and a second valve. The first valve, the flow meter, and the second valve are installed in series on the branching main pipe. Several branch pipes are installed on the side of the branching main pipe near the discharge end, and a third valve is installed on each branch pipe.

[0009] In some preferred implementations, the first valve is a manual valve.

[0010] Furthermore, both the second and third valves are pneumatic valves.

[0011] In some preferred embodiments, the extraction tank has multiple chambers with their bottoms interconnected, and the branching components are located within the chambers.

[0012] Furthermore, each chamber is equipped with at least one branching component.

[0013] The outlet end of the branch pipe on the side closest to the liquid surface is located 10-15cm below the liquid surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the flow meter and the second valve are connected to a controller.

[0015] In some preferred embodiments, a stirring mechanism is uniformly provided in each chamber of the extraction tank.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In practical use, this invention utilizes a branching assembly to add sulfuric acid to the extraction tank in a single-channel manner. This branching assembly achieves dispersed addition and multi-point acid supply, allowing the sulfuric acid to be distributed over a wider area within the extraction tank and preventing excessive localized accumulation of concentrated sulfuric acid. The outlet ends of the branching assembly are all located below the liquid surface in the extraction tank. This subsurface entry of the branch pipes prevents violent boiling, ensures uniform heat diffusion within the liquid phase, resulting in a more uniform reaction and improved gypsum crystallization conditions.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment discloses a sulfuric acid addition device for a wet phosphoric acid extraction tank, including a main sulfuric acid pipeline 101. The main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 is provided with a plurality of branch components 102. The plurality of branch components 102 are used to extend into the extraction tank 103 for multi-point acid addition, and the discharge ends of the branch components 102 are all located below the liquid surface in the extraction tank 103.

[0031] The branching assembly 102 includes a branching main pipe 104, a first valve 105, a flow meter 106, and a second valve 107. The first valve 105, the flow meter 106, and the second valve 107 are installed in series on the branching main pipe 104. Several branch pipes 108 are provided on the side of the branching main pipe 104 near the discharge end, and a third valve 109 is provided on each branch pipe 108.

[0032] In practical use, this invention uses a branching component 102 to add sulfuric acid to the extraction tank 103 in a single-channel manner. The branching component 102 achieves dispersed addition and multi-point acid supply, allowing the sulfuric acid to be distributed over a wider area within the extraction tank 103, thus avoiding excessive local accumulation of concentrated sulfuric acid. The outlet ends of the branching component 102 are all located below the liquid surface in the extraction tank 103. By using a submerged entry method for the branch pipes 108, boiling over is avoided, heat is evenly diffused within the liquid phase, resulting in a more uniform reaction. This improves the supersaturation of the slurry in the extraction tank, improves gypsum crystallization, reduces fluorine overflow, and allows for the recovery and reuse of gaseous fluorine from the liquid phase.

[0033] Furthermore, the first valve 105 is a manual valve, and the on / off control of the entire branch assembly 102 is achieved through the first valve 105.

[0034] Among them, the second valve 107 and the third valve 109 are both pneumatic valves.

[0035] In practical use, the purpose of quantitative acid addition is achieved by controlling the opening degree of the third valve 109.

[0036] In practical use, the extraction tank 103 has multiple chambers 110 inside, and the bottoms of the multiple chambers 110 are interconnected. The branch assembly 102 is located inside the chambers 110. In this application, there are three chambers 110.

[0037] Each chamber 110 is equipped with at least one branch assembly 102, which makes the acid addition more uniform.

[0038] Furthermore, the outlet end of the branch pipe 108, which is closer to the liquid surface, is located 10-15 cm below the liquid surface. In this embodiment, it is located 10 cm below the liquid surface.

[0039] Furthermore, the flow meter 106 and the second valve 107 are connected to a controller. By monitoring the flow rate, the controller enables automatic control of the opening degree of the second valve 107.

[0040] Furthermore, in actual use, each chamber 110 within the extraction tank 103 is uniformly equipped with a stirring mechanism. This stirring mechanism further enhances the mixing effect.

[0041] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, the sulfuric acid addition device of the wet phosphoric acid extraction tank 103 further includes a support and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is connected to the support and is used to drive the support to move. The main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 is fixedly mounted on the support, and an extension rod is provided on the support. The branch assembly 102 is fixed on the extension rod. This arrangement can fix the main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 and the branch assembly 102. At the same time, under the action of the drive mechanism, the main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 and the branch assembly 102 can be driven, so that the main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 and the branch assembly 102 can move to achieve the purpose of acid supply at multiple positions and depths. At the same time, the main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 and the branch assembly 102 can also achieve the purpose of stirring during the movement, effectively improving the mixing effect.

[0042] The driving mechanism is a telescopic rod, which can be an electric telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, or a pneumatic telescopic rod.

[0043] Furthermore, in actual use, the main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 is connected to a telescopic pipe to ensure that the main sulfuric acid pipeline 101 and the branch assembly 102 can move vertically.

[0044] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
