[0034] Term explanation:
[0035] White fertilizer is a fertilizer product derived from raffinate acid treatment, phosphoric acid production by-products or converted by a specific process. It contains rich nutrients, especially trace elements, which have a positive promoting effect on the growth and development of plants. In the fields of agriculture and phosphorus chemical industry, the preparation and utilization of white fertilizer is one of the important ways to improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce environmental pollution.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1 A drying device, comprising a drying granulator 1, a hot air pipe 1023 of the drying granulator 1 is connected to a heating assembly, an exhaust pipe 1033 of the drying granulator 1 is connected to a dust collector 2.
[0037] A feed pipe 1022 of the drying granulator 1 is connected to a concentrator 3, and a discharge pipe 1032 of the drying granulator 1 is connected to a conveyor 4.
[0038] Through the above technical solution, the high-temperature hot air generated by the heating assembly is transported into the drying granulator through the hot air pipe to quickly remove the water in the slurry or liquid, and then granulation is carried out; after the granulation is completed, the tail gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe.
[0039] And the slurry or liquid (white fertilizer) in the concentrator comes to the drying granulator through the feed pipe to carry out granulation, and the obtained particles are conveyed to the designated position by the conveyor through the discharge pipe.
[0040] In some embodiments, the heating assembly comprises a hot blast stove 5 connected to the hot air pipe 1023 of the drying granulator 1.
[0041] Specifically, the hot blast stove as a part of the heating assembly first generates heat energy by burning natural gas. The hot blast stove is connected to the hot air pipe of the drying granulator, and the heat energy generated by the hot blast stove is transmitted to the drying granulator through the hot air pipe.
[0042] In some embodiments, the heating assembly further comprises an air heater 6 connected to the hot blast stove 5, and a blower 7 connected to the air heater 6.
[0043] Specifically, the hot blast stove is also connected to an air heater, which is responsible for preheating the air entering the hot blast stove, thereby improving thermal efficiency. The air preheated by the air heater then enters the hot blast stove and combines with the heat energy generated in the hot blast stove to form high-temperature hot air.
[0044] The high-temperature hot air is transported to the drying granulator through the hot air pipe for drying the material. In order to ensure the quality of the hot air, the blower is connected after the air heater, which is responsible for providing sufficient air flow to the hot blast stove.
[0045] In specific embodiments, the air heater is used to heat the steam to 160℃ once, and then the hot blast stove is used to heat the air twice in series, which raises the inlet air temperature of the drying cylinder to a control range of 270℃-350℃, ensuring the efficiency and stability of the drying process. The operating parameters of the hot blast stove can be adjusted through the control cabinet and connected to the control system of the central control through the optical fiber cable, which is convenient for the operator to monitor and adjust in real time, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the drying process.
[0046] In some embodiments, a dehumidifier 8 is also connected to the blower 7.
[0047] Specifically, the blower is also connected to a dehumidifier, which is used to reduce the moisture carried in the air, ensuring that the air entering the hot blast stove is dry, thereby further improving the drying efficiency and effect.
[0048] In some embodiments, a cyclone separator 9 is also included, the feed end of the cyclone separator 9 is connected to the exhaust pipe 1033 of the drying granulator 1, and the air outlet end of the cyclone separator 9 is connected to the dust collector 2.
[0049] Specifically, the dust collector 2 is a bag-type dust collector 2. The filter bag material of the bag-type dust collector 2 is Gore membrane polyester needle felt.
[0050] More specifically, the feed end of the cyclone separator is connected to the exhaust pipe of the drying granulator, and larger particles are separated from the hot and humid gas by the action of centrifugal force. The bag-type dust collector uses Gore membrane polyester needle felt filter bag to filter out fine dust, ensuring that the discharged gas meets environmental protection standards.
[0051] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the drying granulator 1 includes a rotating drum 101, a feed box 102, a discharge box 103, and a nozzle 104, the feed box and the discharge box 103 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating drum 101, and the nozzle 104 is arranged on the side of the feed box away from the rotating drum 101.
[0052] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the feed tank includes a feed tank body 1021, a feed pipe 1022, and a hot air pipe 1023. The feed pipe 1022 passes through the feed tank body 1021 and is placed at one end of the feed tank away from the drum 101, and the other end of the feed pipe 1022 is placed in the drum 101.
[0053] The hot air pipe 1023 is fixedly connected with the feed tank body 1021 and is located at the side of the feed tank body 1021 away from the drum 101.
[0054] Specifically, the feed tank body 1021 is fixedly installed at the front end of the drying granulator and maintains a certain distance from the drum 101 to ensure that the slurry can smoothly enter the drum. One end of the feed pipe 1022 is connected with the concentrator 3, and the other end passes through the feed tank body 1021 and extends to the inside of the drum 101. The design of the feed pipe 1022 ensures uniform distribution of the slurry. The hot air pipe 1023 is fixedly connected with the feed tank body 1021 and is located at the side of the feed tank body 1021 away from the drum 101. The hot air pipe 1023 is connected with the hot air furnace 5 through a pipeline to ensure that the high-temperature hot air can be smoothly transmitted into the feed tank.
[0055] Therefore, by designing the feed pipe 1022 to pass through the feed tank body 1021 and being placed at one end of the feed tank away from the drum 101 and at the other end in the drum 101, it is ensured that the slurry can be uniformly distributed before entering the drum. At the same time, the high-temperature hot air introduced by the hot air pipe 1023 preheats the slurry in the feed tank, increases the contact area of the slurry with the hot air, and significantly improves the moisture removal efficiency.
[0056] In some embodiments, the discharge tank includes a discharge tank body 1031, a discharge pipe 1032, and an exhaust pipe 1033. The discharge pipe 1032 is arranged at the tail end of the bottom of the discharge tank body 1031. The exhaust pipe 1033 is installed at the side of the discharge tank body 1031 away from the drum 101.
[0057] Specifically, the discharge tank body 1031 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the drying granulator and maintains a certain distance from the drum 101 to ensure that the dried granular material can smoothly enter the discharge tank body 1031. The discharge pipe 1032 is arranged at the tail end of the bottom of the discharge tank body 1031 to ensure that the material can be smoothly discharged. The discharge pipe 1032 is fixedly connected with the discharge tank body 1031 and is connected with the conveyor 4 through a flange or other connecting member. The exhaust pipe 1033 is installed at the side of the discharge tank body 1031 away from the drum 101 to ensure that the wet hot gas can be effectively discharged. The exhaust pipe 1033 is fixedly connected with the discharge tank body 1031 and is connected with the cyclone separator 9 through a pipeline and finally connected to the bag-type dust collector 2.
[0058] Therefore, by the above technical solution, the discharge pipe 1032 is arranged at the tail end of the bottom of the discharge box body 1031, which ensures that the dried granular material can be smoothly discharged, avoiding material accumulation or blockage. The exhaust pipe 1033 is installed on the side of the discharge box body 1031 away from the rotary drum 101, which ensures that the wet hot gas can be effectively discharged and treated through the cyclone separator and the bag-type dust collector, reducing environmental pollution.
