Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of alumina production, and particularly relates to a rapid defluorination salt system based on evaporation of sodium aluminate solution. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of producing alumina by the Bayer method, the temperature of evaporated water is relatively high, reaches above 120 DEG C, and if the evaporated water is directly discharged, great waste is caused, and in order to improve the utilization rate, the existing process is to generate evaporated water by heat exchange of new steam through an evaporator, discharge the evaporated water into a later-stage condensate flash evaporator, generate low-pressure exhaust steam by multiple flash evaporation, use the low-pressure exhaust steam for heating of a later-stage evaporator, and finally use the low-pressure exhaust steam for heating of a heat-electricity deoxidizer.

[0003] However, in the process of evaporating sodium aluminate, fluorinated salt is precipitated in the running process of the six-effect evaporator, and more fluorinated salt is precipitated in the inner wall of the heating pipe along with the increase of the running time, the fluorinated salt crystalline layer formed in the inner wall of the heating pipe continuously increases the effective temperature difference of the six-effect evaporator, and the serious decline of the heat transfer efficiency of the heating pipe will affect the running efficiency and index control of the evaporator system. But the discharge of the seven-effect evaporator can only enter the six-effect evaporator, the production of the seven-effect liquid cannot be stopped, and therefore the six-effect evaporator cannot be isolated for removal of fluorine ion water washing operation, and the long-term accumulation of fluorine ions will seriously affect the running efficiency of the evaporator. If fluorine ion removal water washing operation is performed, the entire evaporator system must be stopped, a large amount of manpower is required, the operation workload is increased, and the production economic benefit is seriously affected due to the stoppage of the system.

[0004] Patents of part seven-effect evaporation system are disclosed in the prior art, wherein the utility model patent with publication number CN216259139U discloses a seven-effect evaporation system, which is characterized by comprising a raw liquid tank, a raw liquid flash evaporator, a blending tank and I-effect evaporator-VII-effect evaporator, I-stage flash evaporator-V-stage flash evaporator, I-stage condensate tank-VII-stage condensate tank, the discharge end of the raw liquid tank is divided into two branches, one branch is sequentially conveyed to the raw liquid flash evaporator, VII-effect evaporator, VI-effect evaporator, blending tank, and the other branch is sequentially conveyed to V-effect evaporator, IV-effect evaporator, III-effect evaporator, II-effect evaporator, I-effect evaporator, I-stage flash evaporator, II-stage flash evaporator, III-stage flash evaporator, IV-stage flash evaporator, V-stage flash evaporator and blending tank; the I-effect evaporator-VI-effect evaporator is heated by countercurrently inputting new steam to evaporate the material, and the condensate of the I-effect evaporator-VII-effect evaporator is cooled by the I-stage condensate tank-VII-stage condensate tank and then discharged. Although the problem of further reducing the steam consumption of the evaporator and improving the efficiency of the evaporator is solved, there is still the problem that fluorinated salt is precipitated in the six-effect evaporator, and the operation of the unit is affected when cleaning the fluorinated salt.
