Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixed salt purification technology, and more specifically to a mixed salt pyrolysis purification system. Background technology:

[0002] In the treatment of high-salinity wastewater, miscellaneous salts are indirectly generated. These miscellaneous salts have already undergone oxidative decomposition of organic matter in the pre-treatment process; therefore, the organic matter remaining in the miscellaneous salts is mostly recalcitrant, making removal difficult. Purification of miscellaneous salts is the future trend in their treatment and disposal, and the removal of organic matter from miscellaneous salts is key to achieving resource recovery.

[0003] One of the main technologies for purifying mixed salts is microwave pyrolysis. When mixed salts undergo high-temperature pyrolysis under microwave action, the removal rate of organic matter is high. However, molten mixed salts tend to adhere to the quartz glass or ceramic material tubes of the pyrolysis equipment and are difficult to clean. Furthermore, some components of the mixed salts may react chemically with the material tubes, causing damage. Additionally, the microwave pyrolysis reactor has poor mass and heat transfer performance, leading to uneven heating, localized overheating, and affecting process stability, resulting in uneven carbonization and material caking. Moreover, sodium chloride, the main component of mixed salts, has weak microwave absorption capacity, resulting in long heating times, slow rates, and high energy consumption during microwave treatment. Utility Model Content:

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mixed salt pyrolysis purification system.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a mixed salt pyrolysis purification system, comprising a pyrolysis device, and further comprising a mixed salt storage tank, a starch storage tank, a stirring tank, a granulator, a screening machine, an activated carbon storage tank, a dryer, a vibrator, a filter, and an evaporation crystallization system. The outlets of the mixed salt storage tank and the starch storage tank are connected to the inlet of the stirring tank; the outlet of the stirring tank is connected to the inlet of the granulator; the outlet of the granulator is connected to the inlet of the dryer; the outlets of the dryer and the activated carbon storage tank are both connected to the inlet of the pyrolysis device; the outlet of the pyrolysis device is connected to the inlet of the screening machine; the first outlet of the screening machine is connected to the inlet of the activated carbon storage tank; the second outlet of the screening machine is connected to the inlet of the buffer tank; the outlet of the buffer tank and the water supply pipe are both connected to the inlet of the vibrator; the outlet of the vibrator is connected to the inlet of the filter; and the liquid phase outlet of the filter is connected to the inlet of the evaporation crystallization system.

[0006] Furthermore, the solid phase outlet of the filter is connected to the inlet of the plate and frame filter press, and the outlet of the plate and frame filter press is connected to the pyrolysis carbon silo.

[0007] Furthermore, the evaporation crystallization system includes an evaporator crystallizer, a centrifuge, and a dryer connected in sequence.

[0008] The advantages of this invention are as follows: The mixed salt in the mixed salt storage tank and the starch in the starch storage tank are mixed in a mixing tank, then granulated into mixed salt pellets by a granulator. After drying, they are sent to a pyrolysis device along with activated carbon granules for pyrolysis. On one hand, activated carbon granules are microwave-absorbing materials; their addition during pyrolysis improves heat and mass transfer, shortening the heating time of the mixed salt and reducing microwave energy consumption. On the other hand, soluble starch acts as a binder in the mixed salt granulation process. Pyrolysis after granulation ensures thorough mixing of heat with the raw materials, improving the uniformity of heating and preventing the molten mixed salt from adhering to the quartz glass or ceramic material tubes of the pyrolysis equipment, thus increasing the tubes' lifespan. Furthermore, the pyrolyzed mixture is screened, allowing the activated carbon granules to be recycled. The remaining material is sent to a vibrator with water to dissolve the waste salt, separating it from the pyrolysis carbon. After further processing by an evaporation and crystallization system, it can be recovered as sodium salt. Attached image description:
