Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ferric phosphate sintering technology, and in particular to a sintering device based on the treatment of Fenton process sludge. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the Fenton reaction is a relatively common method for treating wastewater containing recalcitrant organic matter. However, due to the addition of ferrous ions, the sludge produced after wastewater treatment contains approximately 55%–75% ferric hydroxide, and this sludge is primarily treated as solid waste, leading to a significant waste of iron resources. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a lithium-ion battery cathode material with advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, and good safety performance. In recent years, with the development of new energy vehicles and energy storage industries, the market demand for LFP batteries has gradually increased. As an important raw material for the preparation of LFP, the demand for iron phosphate will continue to rise. Therefore, recycling iron resources for the preparation of LFP is a feasible resource utilization method.
[0003] The iron phosphate produced from the Fenton process sludge treatment contains water of crystallization and a small amount of free water after washing, making it unsuitable as a raw material for the direct preparation of lithium iron phosphate. To address these issues, a sintering device based on the treatment of Fenton process sludge is proposed. Utility Model Content

The device of this application allows the crystal water and a small amount of free water in the iron phosphate to evaporate, and can remove the impurity sulfur element, ensuring its excellent performance. At the same time, it can realize the transformation of the iron phosphate crystal structure, making it suitable for different application scenarios.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the bottom of the processing cylinder 1 and the dividing plate 11 are both funnel-shaped. The bottom of the processing cylinder 1 is connected to a discharge pipe 8, and a switch valve is installed inside the discharge pipe 8. The funnel shape of the bottom of the processing cylinder 1 and the dividing plate 11 can play the role of collecting materials. The valve installed inside the discharge pipe 8 can realize the function of outputting the sintered materials.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the input mechanism includes a support column 3 fixedly connected to the top of the processing cylinder 1. A wide-mouth ring 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 3. Four evenly distributed through holes 5 are opened on the wide-mouth ring 2. A conveying pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each through hole 5. The other end of the conveying pipe 13 is connected to the sintering cylinder 10. The material is received from the outside through the wide-mouth ring 2 and transferred through the conveying pipe 13.
[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a spiral feeding rod 12 rotatably connected inside the sintering cylinder 10. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the top and middle of the processing cylinder 1. The spiral feeding rod 12 is connected to the rotating shaft 17 for transmission. By setting the spiral feeding rod 12, materials are output into the processing cylinder 1. The iron phosphate powder that has agglomerated due to heating can be broken up and transported under the action of the spiral feeding rod 12, thereby making the sintering feeding of iron phosphate powder smoother.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pusher ring 4 is rotatably connected to the outer circumference of the wide-mouth ring 2. The rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the pusher ring 4. The rotation of the rotating shaft 17 drives the rotation of the pusher ring 4, thereby sweeping the material in the wide-mouth ring 2 into the sintering cylinder 10.
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the top end of the spiral feed rod 12 passes through the sintering cylinder 10, and a driven gear 15 is fixedly connected to the through end. The rotating shaft 17 is fixedly sleeved with a driving gear 16 corresponding to the driven gear 15. The driving gear 16 is meshed with multiple driven gears 15 for transmission. The function of synchronously driving multiple spiral feed rods 12 can be realized by rotating the rotating shaft 17 in coordination with the driven gears 15.
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the upper outer wall of the processing cylinder 1. A main pulley 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 6. An auxiliary pulley 18 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 17. A belt 20 is sleeved between the auxiliary pulley 18 and the main pulley 19 for transmission. The drive motor 6 is used as the drive, and the output of the drive motor 6 can transmit the rotation to the rotating shaft 17 through the cooperation of the main pulley 19, the auxiliary pulley 18 and the belt 20.
[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pressure relief pipe 14 is provided on the top side wall of the sintering cylinder 10. The pressure relief pipe 14 is connected to an external pipeline to prevent excessive pressure from the steam inside the sintering cylinder 10 during the sintering process, which would affect the normal operation of the device.
[0032] Working principle: During the sintering process, the washed material is fed into the wide-mouth ring 2, and then fed into the sintering cylinder 10 through the rotating shaft 17 in conjunction with the pusher ring 4 and the conveying pipe 13. The material is then output downwards through the screw feeder 12. The lower part of the processing cylinder 1 is heated to a high-temperature zone of about 900℃ through the electric heating tube 21. The heat exchange tube 9 of the processing cylinder 1 can control the temperature of the upper part of the processing cylinder 1 at about 220℃ by inputting low-temperature steam. When the iron phosphate powder reaches the upper part of the processing cylinder 1, the moisture in the iron phosphate powder can be removed. When the iron phosphate powder reaches the high-temperature zone, it can form hexagonal iron phosphate crystals. After the iron phosphate is sintered at high temperature, it can be fed into the cooling storage chamber 102 through the separator 11 for temporary storage. This device recovers the excess heat in the high-temperature zone through the heat exchange tube 9, which can be used for other processing energy use. While reducing the influence of the high-temperature zone on the low-temperature zone temperature, it also further improves energy conservation and reduces production costs.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
