In order to ensure the purity of TiCl4 product and the stability of subsequent processing, fine solid impurities in the gas stream need to be separated efficiently and stably. Due to its simple structure and reliable operation, the cyclone separator becomes the core separation equipment of titanium tetrachloride boiling chlorination process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Obviously, the above is part of the utility model, not all of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model. EMBODIMENT
[0018] REFERENCE Figure 1The utility model provides a kind of cyclone separator, including exhaust pipe 5 with cyclone 1, cyclone 1 is equipped with coaxial line arrangement exhaust pipe 5, annular passage is formed between the inner wall of cyclone 1 and the outer wall of exhaust pipe 5, cyclone 1 top is penetrated from cyclone 1 top by exhaust pipe 5 upper end, the lower end of cyclone 1 is fixedly connected with dust hopper 6, the inner wall of cyclone 1 is equipped with wear layer, dust hopper 6 outlet is equipped with gas locking discharge valve 7, the outer wall of exhaust pipe 5 is fixedly connected with second valve 9, the outer wall of exhaust pipe 5 is fixedly connected with air inlet pipe 3, the outer wall of air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected with first valve 8, one end of air inlet pipe 3 is penetrated from the outer wall of cyclone 1, the outer wall of cyclone 1 is fixedly connected with cyclone separator support 2, the outer wall of dust hopper 6 is fixedly connected with ash removal pipe 4 by dust hopper 6 outlet, dust hopper 6 is fixedly connected with gas locking discharge valve 7 by ash removal pipe 4, the outer wall of cyclone 1 is fixedly connected with air inlet cylinder 10, the inner wall of air inlet cylinder 10 is movably connected with mounting cylinder 11, the inner wall of mounting cylinder 11 is fixedly connected with buffer plate 12, the inside of mounting cylinder 11 and the inside of air inlet cylinder 10 are both provided with through hole, the inner wall of through hole is movably connected with bolt 13, the outer wall of bolt 13 is threadedly connected with nut 14.
[0019] In the high-temperature environment of TiCl4 production, the inlet gas flow rate significantly affects the cyclone separation efficiency. High flow rate can enhance centrifugal action and improve particle separation effect, but also increases the wear and energy consumption of the cyclone separator. The present invention proposes to use a high-temperature and corrosion-resistant frequency conversion device to accurately control the flow rate, ensuring that the flow rate is adjusted within the range of 15-25 m / s, balancing the separation efficiency and equipment service life.
[0020] The inlet design of the cyclone separator is crucial for gas flow distribution and centrifugal separation efficiency. By designing a tangential inlet, the gas flow enters the cyclone cylinder in the rotation direction, avoiding wear and energy loss caused by gas flow impacting the inner wall of the cylinder. The present invention also proposes a multi-layer tangential inlet design, which sets different angles and positions of the gas inlet according to the distribution of titanium slag particles, to enhance the cyclone effect and improve the gas-solid separation efficiency.
[0021] For the high-temperature and high-corrosion conditions of titanium tetrachloride boiling chlorination process, the present invention optimizes the cone angle and inner cylinder length ratio of the cyclone separator, controls the cone angle at 20°-25°, and sets the inner cylinder length ratio at 1:3 to ensure stable gas flow field, optimize particle discharge path, maximize centrifugal separation efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
[0022] The wear-resistant layer is a high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating material, which can be applied to the high-temperature and high-corrosion environment of the titanium tetrachloride boiling chlorination process, so as to prolong the service life of the separator. When the internal temperature of the separator reaches a preset high temperature value, the control terminal can monitor the temperature and corrosion condition of the coating surface in real time. After obtaining the temperature and corrosion condition of the coating, the control terminal can determine whether the coating reaches a preset durability standard. If the high-temperature corrosion-resistant effect of the coating is within the preset durability standard range, the separator can continue to operate stably at this time. If the coating does not reach the durability standard, or the coating thickness is abnormally worn, the control terminal can determine that the cyclone separator is in a high corrosion risk state at this time. At this time, the operation parameters of the feedback adjustment device can be adjusted, or a maintenance signal can be triggered to remind the operator to check and replace, so as to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the separator. The utility model proposes that the inner wall of the cyclone separator is covered with special high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant material (such as coating material containing high aluminum or high silicon), so as to reduce the corrosion and wear of TiCl4 and solid impurities on the equipment. In addition, the coating thickness is further increased in the inlet area and the cone area, prolonging the service life of the equipment and ensuring long-term stable separation effect.
[0023] To cope with the change of gas-solid concentration in the boiling chlorination process, high-temperature pressure, flow rate and particle concentration sensors are installed in the cyclone separator to form a closed-loop monitoring system. The sensors collect data in real time, and the feedback system adjusts the inlet flow rate, inlet angle and other parameters to ensure that the separator maintains high separation efficiency under different working conditions.
[0024] By inserting the mounting cylinder 11 into the air inlet cylinder 10, aligning the through holes opened on the mounting cylinder 11 with the through holes opened on the air inlet cylinder 10, inserting the bolts 13 into the through holes, and rotating the nuts 14 and inserting them into the bolts 13, the mounting cylinder 11 is installed in the air inlet cylinder 10. Then, the buffer plate 12 plays a buffering role on the entering high-speed airflow, reduces the airflow speed, avoids interference with the normal cyclone separation state inside due to too fast airflow speed, and also preliminarily intercepts some large-particle dust particles, making the subsequent separation work easier and more efficient.

Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features, and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
