Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reaction vessel technology, specifically a high-efficiency oxidation reaction vessel. Background Technology

[0002] Reactors are one of the most common and important unit equipment in the metallurgical and chemical industries. They are suitable for reaction processes with various physical properties (such as viscosity and density) and various operating conditions (such as temperature and pressure).

[0003] In hydrometallurgical processes, reaction vessels are often used to perform efficient leaching and impurity removal of materials. Oxidation methods are widely used to remove impurities from the solution or to improve the metal leaching effect. Oxidants used include chemical reagents such as manganese dioxide and hydrogen peroxide, as well as high-purity oxygen and inexpensive air (containing about 21% oxygen).

[0004] In oxidation processes involving the introduction of air (oxygen), the oxidation of liquids relies on the dispersion and thorough mixing of air or oxygen with the solution, which is essential for achieving complete oxidation. To ensure effective air dispersion within the slurry in the reactor vessel, an air distributor is required. The following types of air distributors are available on the market:

[0005] 1. Injecting air into the bottom through a single tube is a simple method, but it is not energy-efficient. The gas dispersion is insufficient, the oxygen does not come into sufficient contact with the substance to be oxidized, the oxidation effect is not ideal, and it is prone to gas overflow.

[0006] 2. Using ring-tube multi-hole distributors and filter-type microbubble distributors, both of which allow air to be discharged from small holes or micropores, the air quickly re-aggregates and is easily clogged, affecting the distribution effect; there is also a Taylor vortex distributor. Although the Taylor vortex distributor has a better air distribution effect, due to the inherent characteristics of its structure, the number of nozzles installed on the elliptical sphere is limited, making it difficult to meet the production requirements of high oxygen consumption. Moreover, its pressure loss is large, and the overall energy-saving effect is not ideal.

[0007] Therefore, a highly efficient oxidation reactor is needed to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient oxidation reactor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 A high-efficiency oxidation reactor includes a reactor body 10. A gas distributor 20 is installed inside the reactor body 10. An air compressor 21 is connected to the air inlet of the gas distributor 20. The gas distributor 20 includes annular conduits 22 arranged along the inner wall of the reactor body 10. The annular conduits 22 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the reactor body 10 by snap-fit. Air nozzles 23 are provided on the annular conduits 22. During this process, external gas can be introduced into the gas distributor 20 through the air compressor 21. Oxygen from the air enters the reactor body 10 through the air nozzles 23, accelerating the oxidation efficiency and improving the oxidation effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the annular conduit 22 is divided into multiple segments, each segment of the annular conduit 22 is connected by a flange, and each segment of the annular conduit 22 is equipped with an air nozzle 23. This design allows for a modular design of the annular conduit 22, enabling direct replacement of damaged parts during later maintenance, thus achieving a rapid and efficient process.

[0029] Furthermore, the air nozzle 23 is connected to the annular conduit 22 by threads or flanges. The air nozzles 23 are evenly distributed on the annular conduit 22. When a certain air nozzle 23 is damaged or blocked, it can be replaced, thereby achieving the effect of strong applicability and the ability to replace the air nozzles of different sizes as needed.

[0030] The nozzle 23 is a variable-diameter structure, installed upwards. After passing through the nozzle 23, the gas flow direction changes to be inclined downwards and diffused into the liquid. According to Bernoulli's principle, in a turbulent two-phase liquid, both pressure and velocity are constantly changing. At the venturi-shaped variable-diameter structure, the fluid velocity is further increased, while the internal pressure decreases. This promotes continuous circulation and mixing of the liquid around the gas distributor 20. At the same time, changing the airflow direction to be inclined downwards can prevent the bottom slurry from clogging the nozzle 23, and can also fully diffuse the airflow, accelerating the oxidation efficiency.

[0031] The vessel body 10 is equipped with a vessel lid, and a stirring device 30 is also installed inside the vessel body 10. The stirring device 30 includes a transmission device 31 located at the top of the vessel body 10, and a stirring shaft 32 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the transmission device 31 and extending into the interior of the vessel body 10. A stirrer 33 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the stirring shaft 32. In this embodiment, the stirring device 30 is connected to the vessel lid using a mechanical shaft seal. A mechanical shaft seal is a rotary shaft seal with low power consumption, low leakage rate, reliable sealing, and long service life. It is mainly used in pressurized or vacuum equipment operating in corrosive, volatile, explosive, highly toxic, and solid particle-containing media. Stirring can accelerate the mixing of slurry and oxygen.

[0032] The upper right side of the vessel body 10 is provided with a feed inlet 11 and an auxiliary material inlet 12; the left side of the vessel body 10 is provided with a thermometer 13 that can be inserted into the vessel body 10 from the lid to measure the temperature, and a gas phase channel 14 for tail gas treatment.

[0033] The vessel body 10 is externally provided with a jacket 40, and the jacket 40 is internally provided with a jacket layer, which includes a steam inlet 41 and a condensate outlet 42. To prevent the gas from directly impacting the inner wall of the vessel body 10 vertically when it enters the jacket 40, thus avoiding localized overheating and vibration, an inlet baffle 43 is provided, and the steam inlet pipe inside the jacket 40 is laterally opened. The baffle 43 is connected to the jacket layer via a gasket 44.

[0034] Furthermore, the jacket 40 encloses the lower half of the outer wall and the bottom of the vessel body 10. The steam inlet is connected to the jacket 40 for heating the medium inside the jacket 40. The heating medium is steam. By passing steam through the jacket 40, the liquid inside the vessel body 10 can be heated. A return pipe is connected to the jacket 40, and a condensate outlet is provided at the bottom of the jacket 40 for releasing the steam condensate inside the jacket 40.

[0035] A discharge port 50 is provided at the center of the bottom of the vessel body 10 for discharging materials.

[0036] It is worth noting that the vessel body 10 is made of ceramic, while other components such as the stirring device 30 (stirring shaft 31, agitator 33) and gas distributor 20 are made of stainless acid-resistant steel. The vessel body is a vertical cylindrical container, consisting of a cylinder and end caps. It is mounted on a foundation platform via supports. The end caps are generally elliptical. Because the inner diameter Di of the cylinder is less than 1800mm, the lower end cap is welded to the cylinder. For ease of disassembly and cleaning, the upper end cap is connected to the cylinder via a flange. Various holes are required on the cylinder and end caps for different purposes, connected via pipes and flanges.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
