Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a novel ammonium sulfate saturator. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of chemical production, ammonium sulfate is an important chemical product that is widely used in agricultural fertilizers, industrial raw materials and many other aspects. As a key piece of equipment for producing ammonium sulfate, the performance of the ammonium sulfate saturator directly affects the quality of ammonium sulfate products and production efficiency.
[0003] Traditional ammonium sulfate saturators typically use one pipe to transport gas and another to transport liquid during operation. The ends of these pipes are straight, which hinders gas-liquid mixing. From a crystallization perspective, insufficient gas-liquid mixing within the equipment results in significant differences in the size of the generated ammonium sulfate crystals. Small crystals tend to agglomerate, increasing operational difficulty in subsequent filtration and drying processes, reducing product purity and appearance quality, and impacting its effectiveness in high-end agricultural fertilizers and industrial applications with stringent quality requirements. Therefore, we propose a novel ammonium sulfate saturator. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel ammonium sulfate saturator, including a saturator tank 1, a top cover 15 fixedly installed on the top of the saturator tank 1, an inlet pipe 2 fixedly installed on the top cover 15, an inlet ring 20 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inlet pipe 2, a notch 21 provided on one side of the inlet ring 20, and multiple nozzles 22 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inlet ring 20. The two ends of the inlet ring 20 near the notch 21 are not connected to the outside, in order to ensure the liquid pressure at the nozzle 22, so that the liquid can be sprayed out from the nozzle 22 more smoothly;
[0030] Specifically, an air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly installed on the top cover 15, and an air inlet ring 30 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the air inlet pipe 3. Multiple air outlet holes 31 arranged in a ring at equal intervals are provided on the bottom surface of the air inlet ring 30. Both the liquid inlet ring 20 and the air inlet ring 30 are located inside the saturator tank 1. The liquid inlet ring 20 is located above the air inlet ring 30. The air inlet pipe 3 passes through the notch 21, so that the sulfuric acid solution is evenly sprayed downward from the nozzle 22 of the liquid inlet ring 20, and the ammonia gas is discharged from the air outlet holes 31 of the air inlet ring 30. The two are in full contact inside the saturator tank 1, which greatly improves the gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency and accelerates the reaction rate.
[0031] In this embodiment, a conical cylinder 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the saturator tank 1, and a discharge pipe 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the conical cylinder 10. A discharge valve 12 is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 11. The conical cylinder 10 is funnel-shaped, and the plane of the inner wall of the conical cylinder 10 is inclined downward at 45° to 60°, so that the material can flow more smoothly into the discharge pipe 11 under the action of gravity, effectively preventing material residue and improving discharge efficiency.
[0032] Specifically, multiple support legs 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the saturator tank 1, and a fixed base 131 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support legs 13. The fixed base 131 is fixedly installed on the ground, so that the saturator can be placed stably on the ground and ensure the stability of the equipment during operation.
[0033] Furthermore, a temperature-controlled electric heater 14 is fixedly installed on the cylinder of the saturator tank 1, which allows the temperature inside the saturator to be adjusted according to the reaction requirements, providing a suitable temperature environment for the ammonium sulfate production reaction, which is beneficial to improving reaction efficiency and product quality.
[0034] In addition, a stirring motor 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the top cover 15. A stirring shaft 40 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the stirring motor 4 in a vertical position. A stirring blade 41 is fixedly installed on the stirring shaft 40. The stirring blade 41 is located inside the saturator tank 1 to stir the reaction materials in the tank, promote uniform mixing of the solution, accelerate the reaction process, and make the crystallization process more uniform, thereby improving the quality of the ammonium sulfate product.
[0035] It is worth noting that a booster pump 5 is installed on one side of the saturator tank 1. A suction pipe 50 is fixedly installed at the water inlet end of the booster pump 5, and a delivery pipe 51 is fixedly installed at the water outlet end of the booster pump 5. Multiple uniformly distributed pipes 52 are fixedly installed on the end of the delivery pipe 51, and multiple nozzles 53 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the uniformly distributed pipes 52. The nozzles 53 are located inside the saturator tank 1. The nozzles 53 are located between the liquid inlet ring 20 and the air inlet ring 30. The suction pipe 50 is connected to the external chemical liquid delivery pipeline, which can add auxiliary agents according to production needs, optimize the reaction environment, and further improve the reaction effect and product quality. At the same time, after connecting the suction pipe 50 to the external water source, water can be delivered into the saturator tank 1 for cleaning operations.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the temperature-controlled electric heater 14, stirring motor 4, and booster pump 5 involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the spare parts of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components, and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection methods should refer to the working principle of this utility model. The electrical connections between each electrical component are completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection methods are all technologies known in the art.
[0037] In use, the novel ammonium sulfate saturator of this invention involves connecting the temperature-controlled electric heater 14 to a power source and adjusting it to a suitable temperature for preheating the reaction. Then, sulfuric acid solution is supplied to the inlet ring 20 via the inlet pipe 2. Since the two ends of the inlet ring 20 near the notch 21 are closed, the liquid pressure at the nozzle 22 is ensured, allowing the solution to be smoothly and evenly sprayed downwards from the nozzle 22. Simultaneously, ammonia gas enters the inlet ring 30 via the inlet pipe 3 and exits from the equally spaced outlet holes 31 at its bottom, fully contacting the sulfuric acid solution sprayed from the nozzle 22 within the saturator tank 1, accelerating the reaction. Additionally, the stirring motor 4 is turned on, driving the stirring shaft 40 and stirring blades 41 to stir the reaction materials, promoting uniform mixing and crystallization.
[0038] If auxiliary agents need to be added, connect the suction pipe 50 to the external liquid delivery pipeline, start the booster pump 5, and the liquid is sprayed out from the nozzle 53 through the delivery pipe 51 and the distribution pipe 52. It participates in the reaction between the liquid inlet ring 20 and the air inlet ring 30 to optimize the environment. After the reaction is completed, open the discharge valve 12, and the ammonium sulfate crystals are smoothly discharged from the discharge pipe 11 under the action of the conical cylinder 10.
[0039] After the equipment has been used for a period of time, the suction pipe 50 can be connected to an external water source, the booster pump 5 can be started, and the water can be sprayed through the nozzle 53 to clean the inside of the saturator tank 1 to maintain the equipment in good operating condition.
