Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of anode mud treatment technology, and more specifically, to an apparatus for reducing the moisture content in anode mud. Background Technology

[0002] Anode mud is a mud-like substance that adheres to the surface of the anode substrate, settles at the bottom of the electrolytic cell, or is suspended in the electrolyte during the electrolytic refining process. It is enriched with most or most of the precious metals and some rare elements in the ore, concentrate, or flux, and has a high comprehensive recycling value.

[0003] In the process of anode mud treatment, a filter press is usually used to remove electrolyte and water. The filter press applies pressure to squeeze out the liquid in the anode mud, thereby obtaining a relatively dry anode mud filter cake. This step helps with natural air drying or baking. However, the anode mud after filter pressing still contains a large amount of water. Anode mud with high water content requires a longer time to reach the required process conditions in subsequent processing, which will increase the equipment occupancy time and affect the overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an apparatus for reducing the moisture content in anode mud by using high-temperature steam to heat the incoming anode mud and reduce the moisture content in the anode mud.

[0005] This application provides a device for reducing the moisture content in anode mud, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An apparatus for reducing the moisture content in anode mud includes a support, a hopper, and a steam pipe. The hopper is mounted on the support, and the steam pipe is wound around the outside of the hopper. Openings are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the hopper. A blower is provided at the upper end of the hopper, and a sealing mechanism is provided at the lower end of the hopper for sealing the lower opening of the hopper.

[0007] Preferably, the silo is provided with a heat insulation cover, the steam pipe is located between the silo and the heat insulation cover, and the end of the steam pipe passes through the heat insulation cover.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a support block, a drive assembly, and a sealing plate. Two support blocks are provided, which are arranged opposite each other outside the hopper. The support blocks are provided with grooves. The drive assembly is located at the bottom of the sealing plate, with its two ends respectively located in the grooves. The drive assembly drives the sealing plate to seal or move away from the lower opening of the hopper.

[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a handle, a connector, and movable wheels disposed at both ends of the connector. The handle and the connector are both fixedly connected to the sealing plate, and the movable wheels are disposed within the groove.

[0010] Preferably, two connectors are provided.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting rod is provided on the support block, one end of the limiting rod passes through the support block and extends into the groove, and the limiting rod is threadedly connected to the support block.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting rod is provided with a rotating ring.

[0013] Preferably, limit blocks are provided at both ends of the moving wheel's running direction, and the limit blocks are disposed on the support block.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting block and the support block are connected by bolts.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0016] (1) By wrapping the steam pipe around the outside of the silo, this application can increase the contact area between the steam pipe and the silo, improve the heat exchange effect, and after high-temperature steam is introduced into the steam pipe, the heat of the steam is transferred to the anode mud to heat the anode mud. The moisture inside the anode mud evaporates after being heated to form hot air and is released through the upper opening of the silo, thereby reducing the moisture content in the anode mud.

[0017] (2) By setting up a blower, the heat emitted inside the hopper can be blown away, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0018] (3) By setting up a sealing mechanism, when the filter-pressed anode mud is placed into the silo, the sealing mechanism seals the lower opening of the silo, which facilitates the storage of anode mud in the silo. After the sealing mechanism is released from the lower opening of the silo, the anode mud can be discharged. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the device for reducing the moisture content in anode mud includes a support 1, a hopper 2, and a steam pipe 3. The hopper 2 is mounted on the support 1, and the steam pipe 3 is wound around the outside of the hopper 2. Openings are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the hopper 2. A blower 4 is provided at the upper end of the hopper 2, and a sealing mechanism 5 is provided at the lower end of the hopper 2. The sealing mechanism 5 is used to seal the lower opening of the hopper 2.

[0033] In use, first use the sealing mechanism 5 to seal the lower opening of the hopper 2, then place the anode mud after filter pressing into the hopper 2, and then introduce high-temperature steam into the steam pipe 3. The heat of the steam is transferred to the anode mud, thereby heating the anode mud. The moisture inside the anode mud evaporates after being heated, forming hot air that is dissipated through the upper opening of the hopper 2, thereby reducing the moisture content in the anode mud. Under the action of the blower 4, the hot air dissipated inside the hopper 2 can be blown away, improving the heat dissipation effect. When it is necessary to discharge the anode mud, simply release the sealing mechanism 5 from the lower opening of the hopper 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, a heat insulation cover 6 is provided on the outside of the silo 2, and a steam pipe 3 is located between the silo 2 and the heat insulation cover 6. The end of the steam pipe 3 passes through the heat insulation cover 6, and the heat insulation cover 6 is used to reduce the loss of steam heat.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism 5 includes a support block 7, a drive component 8, and a sealing plate 9. There are two support blocks 7, which are arranged opposite each other outside the hopper 2. The support blocks 7 are provided with grooves 10. The drive component 8 is located at the bottom of the sealing plate 9, and its two ends are respectively located in the grooves 10. The drive component 8 drives the sealing plate 9 to block or leave the lower opening of the hopper 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 8 includes a handle 11, a connector 12, and movable wheels 13 disposed at both ends of the connector 12. The handle 11 and the connector 12 are both fixedly connected to the sealing plate 9. The movable wheels 13 are disposed in the groove 10 and are connected by a rolling connection, which can reduce the resistance when moving the sealing plate 9. The handle 11 makes it easy to pull the sealing plate 9.

[0037] In this embodiment, two connectors 12 are provided, and the two connectors 12 support the two ends of the sealing plate 9 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the sealing plate 9.

[0038] In this embodiment, a limiting rod 14 is provided on the support block 7. One end of the limiting rod 14 passes through the support block 7 and extends into the groove 10. The limiting rod 14 is threadedly connected to the support block 7. After the sealing plate 9 seals the lower opening of the hopper 2, the limiting rod 14 is installed on the support block 7. The limiting rod 14 is used to limit the movement wheel 13 to prevent the sealing plate 9 from leaving the lower opening of the hopper 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, a rotating ring 15 is provided on the limiting rod 14, which facilitates the rotation of the limiting rod 14.

[0040] In this embodiment, limit blocks 16 are provided at both ends of the moving wheel 13 in the running direction. The limit blocks 16 are provided on the support block 7 and are used to limit the running trajectory of the moving wheel 13.

[0041] In this embodiment, the limiting block 16 and the support block 7 are connected by bolts, and the bolt fixing method facilitates the assembly of the limiting block 16 and the support block 7.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
