Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of viscose staple fiber production equipment in the textile industry, specifically to an oxidation depolymerization system for fiber production. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the viscose staple fiber market is highly competitive, and the impact of energy, environmental protection, and safety factors makes survival even more challenging for related companies. In this fiercely competitive environment, it is crucial to increase market share while simultaneously improving product quality and reducing production costs, all while meeting environmental and safety production requirements.
[0003] In the production of cellulose fibers, the traditional aging process for viscose staple fibers generally employs an aging drum depolymerization process. The aging drum depolymerization process is a relatively mature piece of equipment used for viscose staple fiber production. It is approximately 26.5m long and 3m in diameter. The aging drum has rotating structures at both ends and a support roller in the middle connected to a reducer and motor to achieve rotation. The aging drum is equipped with a jacket, which can be filled with media of different temperatures (clean water, brine, etc.). By adjusting the temperature of the media in the aging drum jacket, the temperature of the alkali cellulose inside the drum can be controlled, thereby achieving the desired degree of cellulose polymerization.
[0004] This polymerization reduction method has the following drawbacks:
[0005] 1. The old-style drum equipment is relatively large in size and occupies a large area;
[0006] 2. During the production process, cellulose stays in the aging drum for a long time, and after cellulose depolymerization, the loss due to oxidative depolymerization is relatively large. Utility Model Content
[0007] This invention aims to solve the problems of large equipment footprint, long residence time of cellulose in the aging drum, and significant oxidative depolymerization loss of cellulose in the existing aging drum depolymerization process.
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0009] An oxidative depolymerization system for fiber production includes an impregnation tank I, a press, a screw mixer, a medium-concentration slurry mixing tank, and an oxygen-alkali reactor. The impregnation tank I is connected to an alkali supply pipeline. The impregnation tank I is connected to the inlet of the press via pipe I. The material outlet of the press is connected to the inlet of the screw mixer. The outlet of the screw mixer is connected to the medium-concentration slurry mixing tank. The medium-concentration slurry mixing tank is connected to the oxygen-alkali reactor via pipe II. Pipe II is equipped with a steam pipe and an oxygen pipe.
[0010] The spiral mixer is connected to an alkali supply line, the steam pipeline is connected to a steam supply line, and the oxygen pipeline is connected to an oxygen supply line.
[0011] Furthermore, the material outlet end of the press is equipped with a crushing mechanism.
[0012] Furthermore, the spiral mixer is a pipeline spiral mixer, which is equipped with multiple alkali inlets and is connected to an alkali supply pipeline through the alkali inlets.
[0013] Furthermore, the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank is a vertical mixer, with an inlet I at the top and an outlet I at the bottom. The medium-concentration porridge mixing tank is equipped with a stirring mechanism with 4 to 8 layers of spiral stirring blades.
[0014] Furthermore, the spiral mixer and the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank are integrated into one unit, with the discharge end of the spiral mixer connected to the feed end of the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank.
[0015] Furthermore, the steam pipe is located near the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank; the oxygen pipe is located at the rear end of the steam pipe.
[0016] Furthermore, the steam pipeline is equipped with multiple steam inlets, and the steam pipeline is connected to the steam supply pipeline through the steam inlets.
[0017] Furthermore, a porridge pump is installed at the bottom of the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank.
[0018] Furthermore, the discharge end of the oxygen-alkali reactor is connected to the impregnation tank II via pipe III, and the impregnation tank II is connected to the alkali supply pipeline.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] I. This utility model proposes a novel oxidative depolymerization system for fiber production, replacing the traditional aging drum equipment for depolymerization treatment of cellulose. The working principle of this oxidative depolymerization system is as follows: by mixing oxygen, alkali solution, and cellulose in a three-phase mixture and controlling the pressure, time, and temperature conditions, the degree of polymerization of cellulose is reduced within an oxygen-alkali reactor. This replaces the traditional aging drum for reducing the degree of polymerization of alkali-treated cellulose, reducing alkali-treated cellulose loss during production, lowering production costs, and solving the technical problems of large footprint and high energy consumption associated with traditional aging processes.
[0021] II. In this utility model, the material outlet end of the press is equipped with a crushing mechanism for crushing the alkali cellulose filter cake obtained after processing by the press. The crushing mechanism is preferably designed as a multi-stage crushing structure.
[0022] Thirdly, in this utility model, the spiral mixer is a pipeline-type spiral mixer. The pipeline-type spiral mixer facilitates the thorough mixing of solid materials such as alkali cellulose with the alkali solution. It also allows for easy adjustment of the overall length of the pipeline-type spiral mixer to adapt to the production of different types of fibers. The spiral mixer is equipped with multiple alkali inlets, which are connected to alkali supply pipelines. Alkali solution can be added in stages, avoiding instability in product quality caused by adding alkali solution all at once.
[0023] IV. In this utility model, the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank is a vertical mixer. The medium-concentration porridge mixing tank has a hollow stainless steel structure. The upper end of the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank is provided with a feed inlet I; the lower end is provided with a discharge outlet I.

At the same time, it can reduce the area occupied by the equipment and avoid the waste of alkali solution.
[0025] VI. In this utility model, the steam pipe is provided with multiple steam inlets, and the steam pipe is connected to the steam supply pipeline through the steam inlets. The steam supply pipeline evenly introduces steam into the steam pipe through the multiple steam inlets, so as to avoid the problem of uneven heating of the fibers causing poor quality of finished products.
[0026] VII. In this utility model, a porridge pump is provided at the bottom of the medium-concentration porridge mixing tank, and the other end of the porridge pump is connected to the oxygen-alkali reaction vessel. The porridge pump is preferably a pump with a double-headed symmetrical spiral structure, which can stir and transport the porridge through high-speed rotation.

The impregnation tank II is connected to the alkali supply pipeline. The impregnation tank II is used to dissolve the organic or inorganic impurities generated after the oxygen-alkali reaction of cellulose in the alkali solution, thereby improving the quality of cellulose and enhancing the quality of alkali cellulose preparation.
