Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alumina production technology, and in particular to a flue gas treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] See Figure 1 The production of alumina includes processes such as grinding of raw ore slurry, low-temperature leaching, red mud separation, and roasting. The roasting process generates flue gas at 600-900℃. The red mud obtained after separation undergoes processes such as red mud washing and red mud filtration. In the red mud filtration process, the filtrate can be heated to 80-90℃ and then returned to the low-temperature leaching process, serving a purpose of alkali recovery.

[0003] If the flue gas generated during the roasting process is directly filtered through a bag filter, the waste heat of the flue gas will be wasted, which is inconsistent with the company's concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0004] This application aims to fully utilize the waste heat of the flue gas generated during the roasting process, etc., and to use the waste heat of the flue gas to heat the above-mentioned filtrate, which is in line with the company's concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] See Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a flue gas treatment system, including a flue gas duct 1, a hot water exchange pipe 2, a first heat exchange device 3, a second heat exchange device 4, and a filter tank 5.

[0041] Flue gas duct 1 is used to transport flue gas having a first specified temperature. The flue gas may include, for example, flue gas at 600-900°C generated by calcining equipment used for alumina production. High-temperature flue gas from other sources may also be used.

[0042] Hot water pipe 2 is used to transport industrial water or raw water.

[0043] The first heat exchange device 3 includes a vertical finned tube heat exchanger; the flue gas duct 1 and the hot water exchange pipe 2 exchange heat through the first heat exchange device 3 to heat the industrial water or raw water in the hot water exchange pipe 2 to a second specified temperature. After passing through the first heat exchange device 3, the flue gas duct 1 is filtered by a bag filter and then discharged to other treatment equipment.

[0044] The second heat exchange device 4 includes a heat exchange jacket, which is fitted outside the filtrate tank 5; the second heat exchange device 4 is used to heat the filtrate in the filtrate tank 5 to 80~90℃.

[0045] The filtrate tank 5 has a filtrate inlet 51 and a filtrate outlet 52; the filtrate inlet 51 is sequentially connected to a red mud filter press 6, a red mud washing device 7, and a low-temperature leaching device 8 for producing alumina; the filtrate outlet 52 is connected to the inlet of the low-temperature leaching device 8 through a filter device 9.

[0046] Red mud is generated in the low-temperature leaching device 8. Specifically, during the alumina production process, bauxite undergoes low-temperature leaching to form a mixed slurry of red mud and sodium aluminate. The red mud mainly consists of solid residues formed during the leaching process of non-alumina minerals in bauxite. After being discharged from the bottom of the low-temperature leaching device 8, the red mud is washed and filtered to obtain filtrate. The filtrate first enters the filtrate tank 5 from the filtrate inlet 51 for storage, and then returns to the low-temperature leaching device 8 from the filtrate outlet 52 to achieve alkali recovery. The flue gas pipe 1 and the hot water exchange pipe 2 exchange heat in the first heat exchange device 3 to heat the industrial water or raw water in the hot water exchange pipe 2. The filtrate in the filtrate tank 5 and the industrial water or raw water in the hot water exchange pipe 2 exchange heat through the second heat exchange device 4 to heat the filtrate in the filtrate tank 5 to 80~90℃ before sending it back to the low-temperature leaching device 8. The filtration device 9 can filter out particulate matter mixed in the filtrate to prevent these particulate matter from adhering to the corresponding conveying pipes and causing blockage.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] See Figures 1-3 The filtration device 9 includes a filter box 91 and baffles 92. The filter box 91 has an inlet 94 and an outlet 95, with the outlet located above the inlet. The baffles 92 are detachably connected to the inner wall of the filter box 91 by means of snap-fit, threaded connection, or other methods; multiple baffles 92 are arranged longitudinally and staggered between the inlet and outlet to form an upwardly meandering flow channel 92.

[0049] The filtrate flows upward along the flow channel 92, while the particulate matter settles under the influence of gravity and the obstruction of the baffle 92, achieving solid-liquid separation and thus preventing the particulate matter in the filtrate from entering the subsequent pipeline and causing pipeline blockage.

[0050] The baffle 92 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the filter box 91, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of the baffle 92.

[0051] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet is located near the bottom of the filter box 91, and the liquid outlet is located at the top of the filter box 91.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] This embodiment is a further improvement based on embodiment 2.

[0054] See Figures 1-4 The upper side of the baffle 92 is inclined so that the particles settling on the upper side of the baffle 92 can roll down to the bottom of the filter box 91, avoiding the size of the flow channel 92 and the flow rate of the liquid outlet due to the gradual accumulation of particles on the baffle 92.

[0055] In this embodiment, the ratio of the vertical distance from the inlet to the bottom of the filter box 91 to the height of the filter box 91 is 1 / 6 to 1 / 5. This appropriately raises the position of the inlet, preventing the filtrate entering the filter box 91 from directly impacting the bottom of the filter box 91 and causing severe resuspension of sediment.

[0056] In this embodiment, the inlet and liquid inlet of the flow channel 92 are located on the same side of the filter box 91.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] See Figures 1-5 Unlike embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the inlet and liquid inlet of the flow channel 92 are located on opposite sides of the filter box 91. That is, the inlet of the flow channel 92 is located on the left side of the filter box 91, and the liquid inlet is located on the right side of the filter box 91. In this way, the distance between the inlet and liquid inlet of the flow channel 92 is relatively large. Even if there is still a slight resuspension of sediment, the resuspension of sediment will not easily enter the flow channel 92 directly from the inlet of the flow channel 92 due to the obstruction of the bottom baffle 92.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Without conflict, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
