Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of titanium dioxide production technology and equipment, specifically relating to a continuous pulping system. Background Technology

[0002] In the sulfuric acid process for titanium dioxide production, the acid neutralization step uses a slurry made from stone powder emulsion and carbide slag to neutralize concentrated and diluted wastewater. The daily supply of carbide slag is approximately 80 tons. Traditional pulping typically involves crushing, ball milling, and beating. On one hand, the grinding and digestion process generates small amounts of water vapor and dust that are released into the plant, reducing visibility and the working environment. On the other hand, the slurry is not finely ground, easily clogging pipes and affecting the normal operation of the production line. Furthermore, traditional processes have high power consumption and high construction costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a continuous pulping system.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a continuous pulping system, characterized in that: the feed inlet of the screw feeder is connected to a star-shaped unloader, a high-speed pulper is correspondingly arranged below the discharge outlet of the screw feeder, a water inlet pipe is connected to one side of the upper part of the high-speed pulper, the bottom outlet of the high-speed pulper is connected to the inlet of the filter press through a connecting pipe, the filter residue outlet of the filter press is connected to a belt conveyor, and the filtrate outlet of the filter press is connected to a pulping tank.

[0005] The inlet pipe is equipped with an electromagnetic flow meter and an electromagnetic regulating valve.

[0006] The motor of the high-speed pulper is driven by a frequency converter, and the spindle speed is not less than 360 rpm.

[0007] The slurry filter has a filtration capacity of >100m³ / h and a slurry particle size of 2-8mm.

[0008] The high-speed pulping machine is equipped with a low-voltage distribution cabinet, a control cabinet, a frequency converter cabinet, and a local control box. The low-voltage distribution cabinet is used for power supply during on-site maintenance. The control cabinet is connected to the DCS system to control the start and stop of the motors of the star unloader, screw feeder, high-speed pulping machine, pulp filter, and belt conveyor. The frequency converter cabinet is connected to the DCS system to control the frequency of each motor. The local control box is connected to the outgoing terminals of the control cabinet and the remote terminals of the DCS to realize the on-site and remote switching function.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It employs a high-speed pulper for pulping, controls the water inflow through an electromagnetic regulating valve and electromagnetic flow meter, and then filters the pulp using a filter press, thus avoiding dust generation, solving the problems of incomplete screening and poor production environment, improving the utilization rate of calcium carbide slag blocks, and saving neutralization costs. The entire system is automatically controlled by a computer, offering flexible operation and enabling continuous pulping. Attached Figure Description
