[0023] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions. They are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance.

[0024] It should be noted that in this invention, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only the expressly listed elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0025] To address the risks and waste of chlorine during the anode-side brine sampling process at the inlet and outlet of the chlor-alkali production line; such as... Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a safety device for sampling brine and recycling waste chlorine gas in a potassium alkali production electrolytic cell. The device is connected to the anode inlet pipeline 7 and the anode outlet pipeline 9 of the electrolytic cell, respectively. The anode inlet pipeline 7 and the anode outlet pipeline 9 of the electrolytic cell are respectively connected to the electrolytic cell 18.
[0026] The function of the anode inlet pipeline 7 in the electrolytic cell is primarily to transport the electrolyte containing the anode reactants to the anode region of the electrolytic cell. For example, in a chlor-alkali industrial electrolytic cell, the anode inlet pipeline transports a saturated brine solution to the anode chamber, providing chloride ions as reactants for the oxidation reaction occurring at the anode.
[0027] The function of the anode outlet pipeline 9 of the electrolytic cell is to discharge the products of the oxidation reaction on the anode and the unreacted electrolyte from the electrolytic cell. For example, in a chlor-alkali electrolytic cell, the anode outlet pipeline will discharge the generated chlorine gas and electrolyte containing a small amount of unreacted chloride ions, so that the products can be collected, separated and processed in the subsequent process. The chlorine gas can be liquefied to obtain liquid chlorine products.
[0028] Based on the above, the reuse safety device includes:

[0043] It should be noted here that the horizontal position of the gas end passage of the anode sampling recovery bucket 3 connected to the chlorine gas balance pipe 14 is higher than the passage of the anode sampling recovery bucket 3 connected to the discharge pipe 16, so that the chlorine gas can smoothly enter the discharge groove 15.
[0044] In the preferred embodiment, the sampling recovery module further comprises:
[0045] a sampling bucket control ball valve 4 arranged on the connecting passage of the anode sampling recovery bucket 3 and the discharge pipe 16 for controlling the flow rate;
