Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrometallurgical technology, specifically to a leaching device for hydrometallurgical processes. Background Technology

[0002] Leaching is an important process in hydrometallurgy. It involves immersing ores, concentrates, roasted sand, or other materials in a selected solvent. By utilizing the different solubilities of various components in the solvent, the process allows the soluble metals or impurities to be extracted to dissolve into the solution under certain conditions. For example, in the leaching process of hydrometallurgical zinc, dilute sulfuric acid solution or zinc electrolysis waste liquid is used as a solvent to dissolve zinc roasted sand, allowing the zinc in the roasted sand to dissolve in the sulfuric acid solution.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN208617957U discloses a simplified hydrometallurgical leaching device, including a reaction tank, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a controller, a top plate, a support, a crushing mechanism, a mixing mechanism, and two support plates. The crushing mechanism includes a crushing pipe, a hopper, a feed pipe, an outlet pipe, and two drive chambers. The crushing pipe is equipped with a reciprocating assembly, a vertical plate, a screen, and two first saw teeth. The drive chamber is equipped with a drive assembly, which includes a translation unit, a crushing block, and second saw teeth. The mixing mechanism includes a lifting assembly, a first motor, a first drive shaft, a filter screen, a screen cover, and two sealing assemblies. This simplified hydrometallurgical leaching device crushes large pieces of ore into particles through the crushing mechanism, increasing the specific surface area of ​​the ore, which is beneficial for leaching. Furthermore, the mixing mechanism causes the ore particles to rotate and move up and down in the leaching agent, ensuring full contact with the leaching agent, accelerating the leaching efficiency, and improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0004] To increase the contact area between the material and the leachate, the material is usually in powder form during leaching. This results in a period of sedimentation required when the leachate is discharged after leaching. Furthermore, the powdery material is carried out during the discharge of the leachate, which is very inconvenient. In addition, existing leaching devices only increase leaching efficiency by stirring, which is not very effective. Utility Model Content

A top cover 19 is movably installed on the top. A bearing 110 is fixedly installed at the center of the top cover 19. A stirring frame 111 is fixedly installed at the center of the bearing 110. A gear ring 112 is fixedly installed at the top of the stirring frame 111. A motor 113 is fixedly installed on the top of the top cover 19. A gear 114 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shaft of the motor 113. A liquid pump 115 is fixedly installed on the top of the top cover 19. A water inlet pipe 116 is fixedly installed at the liquid inlet end of the liquid pump 115. A drain pipe 117 is fixedly installed at the liquid outlet end of the liquid pump 115.

[0027] The bottom of the leaching tank 1 is conical. The heating coil 13 is installed equidistantly on the outside of the leaching tank 1 with the center of the leaching tank 1 as the reference. The heating coil 13 is located between the outside of the leaching tank 1 and the inner wall of the outer shell 14. The center of the fixed tube 16 is in the same vertical line as the center of the leaching tank 1. The fixed tube 16 is slidably connected to the leaching tank 1 through the fixing bracket 15. The top of the movable tube 17 is provided with an annular protrusion structure. The movable tube 17 is slidably connected to the leaching tank 1. The center of the filter screen 18 is provided with an opening structure for the fixed tube 16 to fit into. The filter screen 18 and the fixed tube 16 are fixedly connected. The top cover 19 has an opening in the center that fits into the bearing 110. The stirring frame 111 is rotatably connected to the top cover 19 through the bearing 110. The stirring frame 111 has a horizontal branch on its outer side. The inner diameter of the stirring frame 111 is larger than the outer diameter of the fixed tube 16. The gear 114 and the gear ring 112 mesh with each other. The bottom end of the water pumping pipe 116 is located below the bottom end of the fixed tube 16. The bottom end of the drain pipe 117 passes through the top cover 19 and is located between the outer wall of the fixed tube 16 and the inner wall of the leaching tank 1.

[0028] Specifically, the motor 113 is a BLDC75W model. The leaching tank 1 can restrict the position of the leachate. The support frame 11 is fixed to the outside of the leaching tank 1, providing support and raising the leaching tank 1. The drain valve 12 facilitates the discharge of the leachate. The heating coil 13 generates heat after being energized to heat the leachate inside the leaching tank 1. The outer shell 14 protects the heating coil 13. The fixing frame 15 restricts the position of the fixing tube 16. The fixing tube 16 prevents the leachate above the filter screen 18 from flowing downwards through the opening in the center of the filter screen 18 and restricts the position of the material. The movable tube... 17 can slide the filter screen 18 and the fixed pipe 16 out of the leaching tank 1 by sliding, so as to carry out the waste residue. The top cover 19 can restrict the position of the stirring frame 111. When the motor 113 drives the gear 114 to rotate, the gear 114 will drive the stirring frame 111 to rotate through the gear ring 112 because the gear 114 and the gear ring 112 mesh with each other.

The liquid pump 115 can draw out the leachate at the bottom of the leaching tank 1 through the water pumping pipe 116 and restrict the leachate from falling back to the top of the filter screen 18 through the drain pipe 117.

[0029] In use, the heating coil 13 is installed equidistantly on the outside of the leaching tank 1, with the center of the leaching tank 1 as the reference. When energized, the heating coil 13 generates heat to heat the leachate inside the leaching tank 1. When the motor 113 drives the gear 114 to rotate, the gear 114 meshes with the gear ring 112, driving the stirring frame 111 to rotate via the gear ring 112. The branch structure on the outside of the stirring frame 111 stirs the material and the leachate. The liquid pump 115 draws the leachate from the bottom of the leaching tank 1 through the water suction pipe 116 and prevents the leachate from falling back above the filter screen 18 through the drain pipe 117. This method allows for uniform mixing of the leachate and the material while simultaneously improving the quality of the leachate. Heat is used to improve leaching efficiency. The filter screen 18 is fixed to the bottom end of the movable tube 17. The center of the filter screen 18 is provided with an opening structure that fits into the fixed tube 16, and the filter screen 18 and the fixed tube 16 form a fixed connection. The material is located above the filter screen 18. The filter screen 18 can only allow liquid to pass through. The material with a particle size larger than the filter screen 18 pores will be restricted above the filter screen 18, so that the leaching liquid at the bottom of the filter screen 18 is free of solid impurities. The leaching liquid below the filter screen 18 is transported to the top of the filter screen 18 through the pump 115, the pump pipe 116 and the drain pipe 117, to avoid the change in the concentration of the leaching liquid below the filter screen 18 and the concentration of the leaching liquid above the filter screen 18. This method can ensure that there are no solid impurities inside the leaching liquid when it is discharged.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
