Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molybdenum resource recovery technology, and in particular to a classified feeding structure for a pressure leaching device for molybdenum-based catalysts. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional molybdenum recovery processes primarily employ the sodium roasting method, which converts molybdenum into soluble molybdates through high-temperature roasting, followed by leaching. However, this method suffers from high energy consumption and large emissions of waste gases (such as SO2 and NO3). - However, due to issues such as complex processes and difficulties in handling waste catalysts with complex compositions (containing multiple elements such as molybdenum, cobalt, iron, and phosphorus), pressure leaching technology has gradually become the mainstream process due to its advantages such as mild reaction conditions, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness, in order to meet the increasing environmental protection requirements and the need for efficient resource utilization.
[0003] However, existing pressure leaching devices still have significant shortcomings in practical applications. First, the composition of spent catalysts is complex, and the leaching kinetics of different components vary considerably. Traditional single-inlet designs easily lead to uneven material distribution, causing localized over-leaching or incomplete reaction, thus affecting the selective leaching efficiency of molybdenum. Second, the gas-liquid-solid three-phase contact efficiency is low during leaching, and uneven oxygen distribution limits the reaction rate. Furthermore, traditional spray systems cannot dynamically adjust the alkali concentration and spray volume according to the leaching stage. Excessive alkalinity in the initial stage may cause co-dissolution of impurity elements (such as phosphorus and aluminum), while insufficient alkalinity in the later stage leads to incomplete molybdenum leaching. These problems not only reduce the molybdenum recovery rate but also increase the difficulty and cost of subsequent separation and purification. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a classified feeding structure for a pressure leaching device for molybdenum-based catalysts. This structure overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies and effectively solves the problems of low molybdenum recovery rate, which increases the difficulty and cost of subsequent separation and purification.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A classified feeding structure for a molybdenum-based catalyst pressure leaching device includes a tank body. A central feed inlet is welded to the center of the top outer wall of the tank body, and an annular distribution feed inlet is welded to the periphery of the tank body. A gas distributor is provided on the outer wall of the annular distribution feed inlet. The gas distributor includes a one-way valve and a gas distribution pipe. The one-way valve is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the annular distribution feed inlet, and the gas distribution pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the one-way valve through a flange. A conical disperser is provided inside the tank body, and a liquid alkali spraying assembly is provided at the bottom of the conical disperser.
[0007] Preferably, the liquid alkali spraying assembly includes an annular spray pipe, a nozzle, a spray port, and an alkali input pipe. The annular spray pipe is welded to the bottom outer wall of the conical disperser, the nozzle is screwed to the bottom outer wall of the annular spray pipe, the spray port is welded to one side outer wall of the annular spray pipe and to the inner wall of the tank, and the alkali input pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the spray port via a flange.
[0008] Preferably, both the central feed inlet and the annular feed inlet have feed pipes fixedly connected to their outer walls via flanges.
[0009] Preferably, a heating jacket is welded to the outer wall of the tank, and a temperature controller with an electric heater is installed on the outer wall of the heating jacket. A water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe are welded to the top and bottom of one side of the outer wall of the heating jacket, respectively.
[0010] Preferably, a stirring motor is provided at the bottom of the tank, and the output shaft of the stirring motor is fixedly connected to a stirring rod via a coupling, with stirring blades welded to the outer wall of the stirring rod.
[0011] Preferably, a motor base is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the tank by screws, and the stirring motor is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the motor base by screws.
[0012] Preferably, a drain pipe is welded to the inclined surface of the bottom outer wall of the tank, and a valve is installed on the outer wall of the drain pipe.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The classified feeding structure of the molybdenum-based catalyst pressure leaching device in this design, by setting a central feed inlet and annular distribution feed inlets, respectively connected to catalyst storage bins of different compositions or particle sizes, realizes classified feeding, which can accurately control the addition ratio of different materials, avoid premature dissolution of impurity elements, thereby improving the selective leaching efficiency of molybdenum. In addition, the gas distribution pipe is linked with the feed inlet, and compressed air or oxygen is introduced at the same time as the material falls, which significantly increases the gas-liquid interface area and enhances the mass transfer efficiency of oxygen in the leachate.
[0015] 2. The molybdenum-based catalyst pressure leaching device designed in this project features a categorized feeding structure. A conical disperser, with its inclined surface, evenly disperses the material inside the tank, preventing localized accumulation and ensuring sufficient contact between molybdenum and the leaching agent. This reduces the generation of unreacted particles. Furthermore, an annular spray pipe is positioned at the bottom of the conical disperser, uniformly spraying alkaline solution (such as NaOH solution) through multiple nozzles. This allows for easy adjustment of the spray volume and alkaline concentration based on real-time monitoring of the leaching solution's pH and molybdenum concentration. For example, a high-concentration alkaline solution is used initially to rapidly establish the reaction environment, while the concentration is gradually reduced later to prevent impurities from dissolving. This dynamic adjustment mechanism further optimizes leaching selectivity. Attached Figure Description

[0025] A gas distributor 4 is installed on the outer wall of the annular feed inlet 3, and its gas distribution pipe 42 is connected to an external gas source via a flange. The gas, passing through the gas distribution pipe 42, forms microbubbles with a diameter of less than 1 mm, which are evenly distributed along the material's falling path. Simultaneously, the annular spray pipe 61 of the liquid alkali spray assembly 6 is welded to the bottom of the conical disperser 5. The nozzle 62 uses a fan-shaped nozzle with a spray angle of 90° to ensure that the alkali solution covers the entire reaction area.

[0031] Working principle:
[0032] 1. Categorized feeding and dispersion:
[0033] After being sorted by composition or particle size, the spent catalyst enters tank 1 through the central feed inlet 2 and the annular distribution feed inlet 3, respectively. The PLC system controls the opening of each feed inlet according to a preset program. For example, high-molybdenum materials are preferentially added at 80% flow rate, while impurities are added in stages. The materials are uniformly dispersed by the conical disperser 5, forming a thin layer that falls.
[0034] 2. Gas-liquid synergistic leaching:
[0035] During the material's descent, oxygen is introduced through gas distributor 4, creating a microbubble flow. These bubbles contact the material surface, promoting the oxidation reaction of molybdenum (e.g., MoS2 → MoO4). 2- Simultaneously, the annular spray pipe 61 sprays alkaline solution, with the initial pH value controlled at 10-12, to dissolve molybdenum oxide.
[0036] 3. Temperature control and enhanced stirring:
[0037] The heating jacket 8 maintains the reaction temperature at 85℃, and the stirring blades 14 operate at 120 rpm to break up particle agglomeration and ensure uniform mass transfer. The leachate is discharged through the drain pipe 16 and can directly enter the subsequent precipitation process.
