Aluminum ash contains components such as metallic aluminum, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide, iron, iron oxide and calcium oxide. After the aluminum ash is denitrified by wet harmless treatment, there are currently several ways to utilize it: (1) landfill in buildings; (2) aluminum source for cement plants; (3) aluminum source for water purification agents; (4) ceramic raw materials.

[0003] However, method (1) does not reflect the value of aluminum resources and is a waste; method (2) the amount used is limited because the salt content in aluminum ash affects the quality of cement; method (3) the aluminum ash contains metallic aluminum which reacts with acid to produce hydrogen, which is prone to combustion and explosion, posing a great safety risk; method (4) the color of ceramic raw materials turns yellow or black because they contain iron, cracks are produced because they contain calcium, and pores are produced because they contain salt.

[0004] Therefore, in addition to alumina, denitrification aluminum ash contains a variety of impurities, which limits its use and reduces the utilization value of alumina in the denitrification aluminum ash. Utility Model Content

[0043] A denitrification aluminum ash component sorting system according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of a denitrification aluminum ash component sorting system.

[0045] In this embodiment, a denitrification aluminum ash component sorting system mainly includes a slurry mixing tank 100, a spiral chute 110, and a guide channel 120.

[0046] The slurry mixing tank 100 is used to mix denitrified aluminum ash with water to form a slurry.

[0047] In this embodiment, a slurry mixing tank 100 is set up to fully mix the denitrified aluminum ash with water to form a uniform slurry. This helps to improve the fluidity of various components in the denitrified aluminum ash, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent separation.

[0048] Specifically, the mixing tank 100 may include a tank body, a stirring paddle rotatably disposed within the tank body, and a first motor that drives the stirring paddle to rotate.

[0049] Furthermore, the tank body can be made of fiberglass, PP, PE, or low-carbon steel.

[0050] The spiral chute 110 extends spirally from top to bottom and is used to guide and transport the slurry downwards in a spiral manner so that components of different densities in the slurry are separated under the action of gravity and centrifugal force.

[0051] In this embodiment, by setting up a spiral chute 110, the slurry is transported on the spiral chute 110, which combines the effects of gravity and centrifugal force to achieve efficient sorting of components with different densities.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, at least two slurry mixing tanks 100 are provided, and the at least two slurry mixing tanks 100 alternately feed slurry to the spiral chute 110. Thus, the two slurry mixing tanks 100 alternately supply material to achieve continuous production, eliminate intermittent time, and at the same time ensure the capacity matching between the pretreatment process and the sorting process.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the spiral chute 110 has a diameter greater than 0.8m and a height greater than 2m. Thus, the large diameter design ensures that the material layer is fully expanded, increasing the sorting space, while the height of more than 2m ensures sufficient separation time, improving sorting efficiency.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, a fluid equalizer 140 is provided at the top feed inlet of the spiral chute 110. The fluid equalizer 140 is used to uniformly introduce the slurry into the spiral chute 110. Thus, the fluid equalizer 140 can ensure uniform distribution of slurry, eliminate flow deviation, maintain stable flow distribution, improve sorting stability, and avoid the decrease in separation efficiency caused by local overload.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, a centrifugal pump 150 is provided between the top feed inlet of the mixing tank 100 and the spiral chute 110. The centrifugal pump 150 is used to transport the slurry in the mixing tank 100 to the top feed inlet of the spiral chute 110. Thus, the centrifugal pump 150 can provide a stable conveying pressure to ensure continuous production, thereby overcoming the elevation difference to achieve forced conveying and expanding the applicability of the system.

[0056] Furthermore, a regulating valve 160 is provided between the centrifugal pump 150 and the spiral chute 110. The regulating valve 160 is used to regulate the slurry conveying flow rate. Thus, the valve regulation can achieve precise flow control to match the sorting requirements. The processing volume can be adjusted in real time according to the slurry concentration, making the operation flexible and preventing the reduction of separation efficiency due to overload.

[0057] Furthermore, a rotor flow meter 170 is installed between the regulating valve 160 and the spiral chute 110. The rotor flow meter 170 is used to display the slurry conveying flow rate. Thus, the flow visualization of the rotor flow meter 170 enables precise control of process parameters, ensuring the stability and repeatability of system operating parameters.

[0058] For the guide channel 120, multiple guide channels 120 are provided. Multiple guide channels 120 are arranged in sequence along the radial direction of the spiral chute 110 at the bottom outlet of the spiral chute 110, and are used to receive the slurry of various components separated on the spiral chute 110.

[0059] In this embodiment, multiple guide channels 120 are set up. The guide channels 120 arranged radially along the spiral chute 110 achieve multi-stage precise flow separation, ensuring effective separation and collection of different components.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the discharge end of the spiral chute 110 is provided with a triangular guide 130. The two sides of the triangular guide 130 are used to form discharge ports. Thus, the double-sided diversion design of the triangular guide 130 effectively prevents slurry accumulation. At the same time, the acute angle structure of the triangular guide 130 enhances the diversion guidance and improves the sorting accuracy. Moreover, it can avoid secondary mixing of materials of different densities at the discharge port.

[0061] Furthermore, three triangular guides 130 are provided, and four discharge ports are formed between the three triangular guides 130 and between the side walls of the triangular guides 130 and the spiral chute 110. Each discharge port corresponds to one guide chute 120. Thus, the three triangular guides 130 form four discharge ports, realizing multi-gradient fine classification. At the same time, the increase in discharge ports can adapt to the fine sorting and recycling of various components of aluminum ash.

[0062] It needs to be explained that, under the influence of gravity and centrifugal force, the components of different densities in the slurry are separated as follows: iron and iron oxide particles with a density of 7.9-5.6 g / mL flow from the first outlet along the inner side of the spiral chute 110 to the corresponding guide trough 120 and then into the iron storage tank; aluminum oxide with a density of 3.5-4.05 g / mL flows from the second outlet along the inner side of the spiral chute 110 to the corresponding guide trough 120 and then into the aluminum oxide storage tank; calcium oxide and aluminum particles with a density of 2.7-3.3 g / mL flow from the third outlet along the inner side of the spiral chute 110 to the corresponding guide trough 120 and then into the calcium storage tank; and silicon oxide with a density of 2.2-2.6 g / mL flows from the outlet on the outer side of the spiral chute 110 to the corresponding guide trough 120 and then into the silicon storage tank. Thus, the different components of aluminum ash are separated.

[0063] Furthermore, the angle of the triangular diverter 130 is adjustable, so that the angle of the triangular diverter can be adjusted according to the boundary line of different components on the spiral chute 110 to guide materials of different components into the corresponding component material diverter 120, thereby achieving effective separation of light and heavy components.

[0064] Specifically, the triangular flow divider 130 may include a first flow divider plate, a second flow divider plate, and a connecting plate that are hinged in sequence. The first flow divider plate is retractable, the second flow divider plate is retractable, and the first and second flow dividers plate are respectively used to form the discharge port. The hinges between the first and second flow dividers plate, between the second flow divider plate and the connecting plate, and between the connecting plate and the first flow divider plate have rotational damping force, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the triangular flow divider by external force and the fixing of the angle of the triangular flow divider by rotational damping force.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, a plate and frame diaphragm filter press can also be provided. The plate and frame diaphragm filter press is used to dewater the sorted alumina slurry, thereby facilitating the subsequent packaging, transportation and use of the alumina.

[0066] In this embodiment, the combination of the mixing tank 100, the spiral chute 110 and multiple guide channels 120 can separate various components in aluminum ash to purify alumina and improve the utilization value of alumina in aluminum ash.
