Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potassium fluoride preparation technology, and in particular to a potassium fluoride solution microfiltration device. Background Technology
[0002] Potassium fluoride is an inorganic salt, also known as the fluoride of potassium. It is a white monoclinic crystal or crystalline powder with a salty taste and is hygroscopic. It is soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol. Its aqueous solution is alkaline and can corrode glass and porcelain. In the potassium fluoride production process, it is necessary to treat liquids containing potassium fluoride to remove impurities, particulate matter, or other unwanted components to obtain a pure solution. Therefore, a potassium fluoride solution microfiltration device is used.
[0003] Currently, in existing potassium fluoride solution microfiltration devices, when the flow rate of the solution through the microfiltration membrane is too low, solutes and particulate matter accumulate near the membrane surface, forming a concentration gradient. This leads to reduced solvent permeation on the concentrated solution side, causing concentration polarization. When concentration polarization reaches a certain level, especially under low flow rate and high solute concentration conditions, the solute near the membrane surface reaches or exceeds the saturation concentration, resulting in enhanced solute interaction and the formation of a semi-solid gel-like layer, i.e., a gel layer. The formation of the gel layer further exacerbates the membrane resistance, reduces the membrane permeation flux, and affects filtration efficiency. Therefore, this application provides a potassium fluoride solution microfiltration device to meet this requirement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a potassium fluoride solution microfiltration device to solve the problem that in the use of existing microfiltration devices, the flow rate of the solution through the microfiltration membrane is too low, forming a gel layer on the microfiltration membrane and hindering the solution from passing through.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] It also includes: a pretreatment frame, disposed on the base plate and located next to the filter housing; a booster pump, disposed inside the pretreatment frame; and one side of the delivery pipe extends into the pretreatment frame and is connected to the outlet end of the booster pump.
[0008] It also includes: a feed pipe, connected to the top of the pretreatment frame; a filter screen frame, located at the top of the inner cavity of the pretreatment frame; and a collection hopper, located inside the pretreatment frame and below the filter screen frame, for collecting the pretreated solution and allowing it to fall down uniformly.
[0009] The conveying section includes: a first connecting pipe, which is connected to the top of the filter cylinder; a second connecting pipe, which is connected to the first connecting pipe; a diverter valve, which is connected to the second connecting pipe; and the other side of the conveying pipe is connected to the diverter valve.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In the above scheme, by setting the spiral column and the flow guide plate, the degree of turbulence of the solution can be increased, effectively breaking the laminar flow state near the surface of the microfiltration membrane and reducing the occurrence of concentration polarization. At the same time, the turbulence enhances the diffusion of the solute, which helps to prevent macromolecules or particles from accumulating on the surface of the microfiltration membrane to form a gel layer.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The potassium fluoride solution microfiltration device provided by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art can use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; moreover, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a potassium fluoride solution microfiltration device, comprising: a base plate 1; a filter housing 4 disposed on the base plate 1; a plurality of filter cylinders 8 disposed within the filter housing 4; a microfiltration membrane 13 disposed within the filter cylinders 8 for filtering potassium fluoride solution; a separation layer 14 disposed within the filter cylinders 8 for the flow of separated liquid; a flow layer 16 disposed within the microfiltration membrane 13 for solution flow; a spiral column 17 disposed within the flow layer 16 for increasing solution turbulence; a plurality of guide vanes 15 disposed within the flow layer 16, and the guide vanes 15 are located in the spiral channel of the spiral column 17, and the guide vanes 15 are arc-shaped for smooth solution passage; a conveying section 10 disposed above the filter cylinders 8 for conveying solution; a discharge section 12 disposed below the filter cylinders 8 for discharging separated liquid; and a conveying pipe 18 disposed within the filter housing 4.
[0026] By setting the spiral column 17, which is typically made of a chemically resistant metal such as stainless steel or a special alloy, the spiral column 17 guides the fluid to form a spiral flow through its specific shape. This flow pattern can accelerate the fluid velocity. Since the spiral flow increases the contact area between the fluid and the filter medium, it helps to improve the filtration efficiency, allowing more solutes or impurities to be effectively separated. By setting the guide vane 15, the direction of the fluid is changed to ensure that the fluid passes through the microfiltration membrane 13 evenly. This helps to prevent local overload and clogging, thereby extending the service life of the microfiltration membrane 13.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: a pretreatment frame 2, which is set on the base plate 1 and located next to the filter housing 4; a booster pump 9, which is set inside the pretreatment frame 2; and one side of the delivery pipe 18 extends into the pretreatment frame 2 and is connected to the outlet end of the booster pump 9.
[0028] By setting up a booster pump 9 to draw in low-pressure fluid and increase its pressure, the solution can be pushed through the filter membrane, ensuring that the solution passes through the microfiltration membrane 13 at sufficient pressure, which helps to improve the filtration rate and efficiency.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: a feed pipe 3, which is connected to the top of the pretreatment frame 2; a filter screen frame 7, which is located at the top of the inner cavity of the pretreatment frame 2; and a collection hopper 6, which is located inside the pretreatment frame 2 and below the filter screen frame 7, for collecting the pretreated solution and allowing it to fall down uniformly.
[0030] By setting the filter screen 7, the solution can be coarsely filtered, which can effectively remove large particles in the solution and reduce the load on the microfiltration membrane 13; by setting the collection hopper 6, the coarsely filtered solution can be collected and flow into the bottom of the pretreatment frame 2 for sedimentation.

[0034] By setting the first control valve 123 to connect to the external pipeline, the separated solution is transported in a unified manner for subsequent operations; by setting the second control valve 122, the remaining solution is transported in a unified manner for easy subsequent management.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes: several fixing columns 11, which are disposed inside the filter housing 4 and connected to the filter cylinder 8. By setting the fixing columns 11, the fixing columns 11 and the filter cylinder 8 are fixedly connected, and the fixing columns 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter housing 4, thereby providing support and fixing for the filter cylinder 8.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a control panel 5, which is mounted on the base plate 1. By setting up the control panel 5, the required data can be input into the control panel 5 in advance, and the operation of the device can be controlled through the control panel 5. If a deviation or accident occurs, the control panel 5 will stop operating and notify personnel to conduct inspection.
[0037] The technical solution provided by this utility model involves the solution entering the pretreatment frame 2 through the feed pipe 3, undergoing coarse filtration through the filter screen frame 7, and then flowing through the collection hopper 6 to the bottom of the pretreatment frame 2. The booster pump 9 is activated using the control panel 5, and with the cooperation of the conveying pipe 18, the solution is conveyed to the diversion valve 101. Then, with the cooperation of the second connecting pipe 102 and the first connecting pipe 103, the solution is conveyed to the filter cylinder 8, located in the flow layer 16. With the cooperation of the spiral column 17 and the guide plate 15, the solution flow is accelerated. The solution is then separated by the microfiltration membrane 13, and the separated solution is located in the separation layer 14. It then flows into the storage device through the first discharge pipe 124 and the first control valve 123. The remaining solution is output through the cooperation of the third connecting pipe 125, the output pipe 121, and the second control valve 122, facilitating subsequent operations.
