Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium processing equipment, and in particular to a carbonization tower device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the recycling process for waste lithium batteries involves first extracting lithium through extraction, followed by a reverse extraction stirred tank. Specifically, a loaded organic phase (containing lithium solution) and pure water are added to the reverse extraction stirred tank, and then carbon dioxide is introduced. After thorough mixing, a lithium-rich solution of lithium bicarbonate and an empty organic phase extractant are obtained. However, the reverse extraction stirred tank is prone to uneven gas distribution during the reaction, leading to incomplete reaction and reduced lithium extraction efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a carbonization tower device. The presence of the rectangular saddle ring allows pure water and the loaded organic phase extractant to fully contact with carbon dioxide, ensuring a relatively high extraction rate of lithium.

The first tower body and the third tower body are respectively disposed at both ends of the second tower body. The first tower body is provided with a first feed inlet and a second feed inlet. A rectangular saddle ring is disposed inside the second tower body. An air distribution pipe is disposed inside the third tower body. An air inlet disposed on the third tower body is connected to the air distribution pipe. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the third tower body.

[0006] In this type of carbonization tower, pure water and the supported organic phase extractant (containing lithium solution) enter from the first inlet and the second inlet, respectively, and then flow to the rectangular saddle ring. The pure water and the supported organic phase extractant flow from top to bottom through the rectangular saddle ring, while carbon dioxide gas flows out from the gas distribution pipe and is evenly distributed at the bottom of the rectangular saddle ring. The carbon dioxide flows from bottom to top through the bottom of the rectangular saddle ring. The liquid and gas are evenly distributed and in contact within the rectangular saddle ring. The presence of the rectangular saddle ring allows the pure water and the supported organic phase extractant to fully contact with the carbon dioxide, ensuring a relatively high extraction rate of lithium.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes a distributor, which is disposed in the first tower body or the second tower body, and the rectangular saddle ring is located between the distributor and the gas distribution pipe.

[0008] The presence of the distributor allows pure water to be mixed with the loaded organic phase extractant (lithium-containing solution) and then flowed uniformly toward the rectangular saddle ring.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a mixing connector, which is a T-shaped mixing connector, with one end connected to the first feed inlet and the other end connected to the second feed inlet.

[0010] The function of the mixing nozzle is to mix water with the loaded organic phase extractant (lithium-containing solution) and then flow it to the distributor, and then through the distributor to the rectangular saddle ring.

[0011] Optionally, the first feed inlet and the second feed inlet are aligned in a straight line.

[0012] The first and second feed inlets are aligned in a straight line to ensure that the pure water and the loaded organic phase extractant (lithium-containing solution) are mixed evenly.

[0013] Optionally, the top of the first tower body is provided with an exhaust port.

[0014] The purpose of the vent is to allow the gases produced after the reaction to leave.

[0015] Optionally, it also includes a support, which is disposed at one end of the third tower body and located outside the third tower body.

[0016] The support is used to support the third tower body.

[0017] Optionally, the air distribution pipe is provided with a plurality of air distribution holes, and the distance between two adjacent air distribution holes is equal.

[0018] The air distribution holes on the air distribution pipe are for uniform air distribution, so that there is a carbon dioxide airflow distribution at the bottom of the rectangular saddle ring, and the carbon dioxide airflow flows evenly towards the rectangular saddle ring.

[0019] Optionally, the central axis of the first tower body, the central axis of the second tower body, and the central axis of the third tower body are on a straight line.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the presence of the rectangular saddle ring allows pure water to fully contact the loaded organic phase extractant and carbon dioxide, ensuring a relatively high extraction rate of lithium. Attached Figure Description
