SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a static sodium sulfate crystallization device, including the crystallization separator with the settling chamber in bottom and the forced circulation heat exchanger, the side wall of the crystallization separator is provided with material inlet above the settling chamber, the side wall is provided with material outlet above the material inlet, the forced circulation heat exchanger is provided with circulating material inlet and circulating material outlet, the circulating material inlet is communicated with the material outlet by pipeline, the circulating material outlet is communicated with the material inlet by pipeline, the pipeline between the circulating material outlet and the material inlet is also communicated with raw material liquid pipeline, the crystallization outlet is formed below the settling chamber.In the above scheme, by setting the crystallization separator with the settling chamber and the forced circulation heat exchanger, then, the crystallization separator is provided with material inlet and material outlet, the forced circulation heat exchanger is provided with circulating material inlet and circulating material outlet, four are connected by pipeline, form circulation, the material (sodium sulfate solution) heated by forced circulation heat exchanger enters the crystallization separator and evaporates, then, the crystallized sodium sulfate crystal falls into the settling chamber under the action of gravity, and then is discharged from the settling chamber, so that the sodium sulfate in sodium sulfate solution is crystallized, forms by-product sodium sulfate and secondary steam, and the sodium sulfate and secondary steam can be applied in the later period, solve the problem of existing sodium sulfate solution storage.
[0004] In an embodiment, the pipeline between the circulating material outlet and the material inlet is provided with a forced circulation pump.By setting the forced circulation pump on the circulating pipeline, the material circulation between the crystallization separator and the forced circulation heat exchanger can be further guaranteed.
[0005] In one embodiment, the crystal slurry outlet is connected with the thickener through a pipeline and a discharge pump; the thickener is connected with a centrifuge. By setting the thickener and the centrifuge, the crystal slurry in the settling chamber is further treated and dewatered to obtain sodium sulfate crystals.
[0006] Further, the clear liquid outlet of the thickener and the centrifugal liquid outlet of the centrifuge are communicated with a mother liquor tank through pipelines. By setting the mother liquor tank, the clear liquid of the thickener and the centrifugal liquid of the centrifuge can be stored.
[0007] Further, the mother liquor tank is further communicated with the pipeline between the circulating material outlet and the material inlet through a mother liquor pump and a pipeline. By setting the mother liquor pump and the corresponding pipeline, the mixed liquid of the clear liquid of the thickener and the centrifugal liquid of the centrifuge in the mother liquor tank is added to the material circulation between the crystallization separator and the forced circulation heat exchanger, further heating the evaporative crystallization sodium sulfate crystals, reducing the discharge of waste water, and improving the yield of sodium sulfate crystals.
[0008] In one embodiment, the steam outlet of the crystallization separator is communicated with the steam mechanical compressor through a secondary steam pipeline; the secondary steam pipeline comprises a horizontal inlet pipe before the secondary steam inlet of the steam mechanical compressor, an inlet pipe higher than the horizontal inlet pipe and connected with the other end of the horizontal inlet pipe, and a remaining pipeline; at the position where the horizontal inlet pipe and the inlet pipe are connected, the inlet pipe is continued to extend axially below the horizontal inlet pipe to form a sump or is connected with a sump through a connecting pipe arranged below the horizontal inlet pipe. Through the above arrangement, the energy of the secondary steam of the crystallization separator can be effectively utilized. Further, by changing the position and structure of the condensate drainage port in the secondary steam pipeline, the condensate in the secondary steam is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the impact of the condensate on the blades of the steam mechanical compressor and ensuring the stability of the steam mechanical compressor. Specifically, by changing the position of the drainage port, the position of the drainage port on the lower pipe wall of the horizontal inlet pipe is moved to the end position of the horizontal drainage pipe. The principle is that before the secondary steam in the inlet pipe enters the horizontal inlet pipe, the condensate in the secondary steam directly falls into the extended part of the inlet pipe or the connecting pipe through gravity. At this time, the content of condensate in the secondary steam entering the horizontal inlet pipe is greatly reduced. At the same time, there is basically no condensate at the bottom of the horizontal inlet pipe, and since the length of the horizontal inlet pipe is generally set to be relatively short, there is even less condensate formed at the bottom of the horizontal inlet pipe, reducing secondary carrying (specifically, the airflow blows the condensate at the bottom of the horizontal inlet pipe, thereby carrying the condensate into the steam mechanical compressor). Therefore, the condensate in the secondary steam entering the steam mechanical compressor is greatly reduced, ensuring the stability of operation. Specifically, there are two technical solutions, one is to set the extended inlet pipe to form a sump, and the other is to connect the sump through a connecting pipe. In the connecting pipe, the thickness of the part connected with the inlet pipe is close to or preferably consistent with the thickness of the inlet pipe.
[0009] In one embodiment, a liquid blocking net is arranged in the pipeline at the connection between the horizontal inlet pipe and the inlet pipe. Through the arrangement of the liquid blocking net, the condensate in the secondary steam can adhere to the net and reduce the speed when passing through the liquid blocking net, thereby facilitating dripping.
[0010] In one embodiment, a liquid blocking structure is arranged in the extended part of the inlet pipe or in the connecting pipe. Through the arrangement of the liquid blocking structure, the secondary carrying of the liquid in the sump caused by the impact of the secondary steam can be prevented, thereby affecting the stable operation of the steam mechanical compressor.
[0011] Further, the liquid blocking structure is a mesh structure or a plate structure with openings. The condensate water is facilitated to drop, and the liquid caused by impact is blocked.
[0012] In an embodiment, the liquid blocking structure is a horn structure. The above functions are further realized, so that the liquid caused by impact is blocked to flow down along the side wall, and the effect is better.
[0013] In an embodiment, further comprising a liquid accumulation pump connected with the liquid accumulation tank, the liquid accumulation pump pumps away the water in the liquid accumulation tank. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0027] In an embodiment, a forced circulation pump 19 is arranged on the pipeline between the circulating material outlet 16 and the material inlet 13, which further ensures the circulation of the material in the circulating channel.
[0028] In an embodiment, the crystal slurry outlet 18 is connected with a thickening kettle 20 through a pipeline and a discharge pump 27, and the thickening kettle 20 is connected with a centrifuge 21. That is, the crystal slurry passing through the crystal slurry outlet 18 enters the thickening kettle 20 along the pipeline with the assistance of the discharge pump 27, and after thickening in the thickening kettle 20, enters the centrifuge 21 to be centrifuged.

[0032] Embodiment 2
[0033] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 The embodiment discloses a static sodium sulfate crystallization device, which is a further design based on embodiment 1. The steam outlet 26 of the crystallization separator 11 is communicated with the steam mechanical compressor 1 through a secondary steam pipeline, and the secondary steam entering the steam mechanical compressor 1 is mechanically compressed and then enters the forced circulation heat exchanger 12 as a heat exchange medium through a pipeline. The secondary steam pipeline comprises a horizontal inlet pipe 2 before a secondary steam inlet of the steam mechanical compressor 1, an inlet pipe 6 which is higher than the horizontal inlet pipe 2 and is connected with the other end of the horizontal inlet pipe 2 in line, and a remaining pipeline. The horizontal inlet pipe 2 is a conventional inlet pipeline of the steam mechanical compressor 1, and its length is determined according to the design of the equipment, but generally will not be too long, about 1 m to 2 m, but not limited to this range. The inlet pipe 6 is a vertical inlet pipe or an inclined inlet pipe, which refers to the setting angle of the inlet pipe, and can be determined according to the comprehensive design of the equipment, and preferably a vertical structure, that is, a vertical inlet pipe, at this time, the liquid droplets contained in the secondary steam are more easily dropped downward due to gravity.

In the design, the inlet pipe 6 is generally selected to have a pipe diameter of 18 inches or 20 inches, of course, not limited to the above-mentioned size. Through greatly reduced gas-liquid carrying, the impact of liquid on the compressor blades can be further reduced, and the stability can be improved.

In the process, the sodium sulfate crystals fall into the settling chamber 10, and the volatilized water vapor is discharged from the steam outlet 26 as secondary steam. The sodium sulfate solution continues to be heated and circulated between the crystallization separator 11 and the forced circulation heat exchanger 12, so that the volatilization and crystallization are carried out in the crystallization separator 11, forming a cycle. The crystal slurry formed by the sodium sulfate crystals in the settling chamber 10 enters the thickening kettle 20 through the crystal slurry outlet 18 along the pipeline with the assistance of the discharge pump 27, is thickened, then enters the centrifuge 21 for centrifugation, and the thickened clear liquid and the centrifuged liquid enter the mother liquor tank 24 for storage. The above-mentioned solution can also enter the circulating channel through the mother liquor pump 25 along the pipeline for further volatilization and crystallization. The secondary steam enters the steam mechanical compressor 1 for mechanical compression after entering the secondary steam pipeline, and is used as a heat exchange medium in the forced circulation heat exchanger 12.
[0042] As for the source steam inlet and outlet of the forced circulation heat exchanger 12, that is, the heat exchange medium inlet and the heat exchange medium outlet, no specific limitation is made here, and existing technologies can be used.
