Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel industry wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a device for detecting impurity content in water based on light transmittance. BACKGROUND
[0002] "Blast furnace slag flushing water" refers to the process of flushing the slag iron at the bottom of the blast furnace (furnace bottom) to remove the solid substances such as clogged iron slag, slag and ash slag, and to ensure the smooth operation of the blast furnace. This operation helps to maintain the normal operation of blast furnace smelting and ensures the continuity and efficiency of the steel production process.
[0003] As a low-temperature waste heat source, blast furnace slag flushing water has the characteristics of stable temperature and large flow. How to make the slag flushing water play the benefit of waste heat utilization has gradually become a research topic. In the ironmaking process, the new water consumed by slag flushing accounts for more than 50% of the total new water consumption. About 11.2 tons of new water are consumed for flushing 1 ton of water slag, and the circulating water consumption is about 10 tons. According to the steel production output of 500 million tons in China, and according to the calculation of 350 kg of slag per ton of iron, the new water consumption for slag flushing alone exceeds 150 million tons, accounting for 4% of the new water consumption of the steel industry. The physical heat of the blast furnace slag taken away by the slag flushing water accounts for about 8% of the ironmaking energy consumption, which is equivalent to about 21 kg of standard coal (calculated at 350 kg / ton of iron). The water temperature of the circulating water pool ranges from 60 to 85°C, which belongs to industrial low-temperature waste heat source. If it is not utilized, this part of energy will be wasted.
[0004] For the waste heat utilization of blast furnace slag flushing water, the main method is to directly utilize the sensible heat to provide winter heating. This utilization method is simple in technology and low in transformation cost, but the following problems exist:
[0005] The slag flushing water contains a large amount of impurities, which is easy to cause blockage after entering the pipe network, and the heating pipe network system is large, so the cleaning difficulty is very high.
[0006] In terms of the sensible heat utilization of slag flushing water, a plate heat exchanger with high heat exchange efficiency is usually used. In order to ensure the safe operation of the heat exchanger, a pre-filter is usually configured to prevent waste slag from entering the heat exchanger and affecting the heat exchange efficiency. However, the content of waste slag in the slag flushing water has great fluctuation, and in actual operation, there is a high instantaneous content of slag (20% mass ratio) in a short time, and the filter cannot remove the related waste slag in a short time, causing the filter to be blocked.
[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to design a device capable of monitoring high-temperature, high-corrosion-intensity water quality impurity content, and to link it with the heat exchanger control system to effectively protect the installation and operation of the heat exchanger and the filter.
