Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnesium carbonate production technology, and in particular to a pyrolysis device for producing magnesium carbonate from flotation tailings. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesite flotation tailings are often used to produce magnesium carbonate. While magnesium carbonate is the main component of the tailings, it also contains many other impurities, requiring pyrolysis and carbonation reactions to produce pure magnesium carbonate. During tailings pyrolysis, magnesium carbonate decomposes to produce large amounts of carbon dioxide. Existing pyrolysis devices often directly discharge this carbon dioxide, resulting in significant greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the carbonation reaction after pyrolysis requires carbon dioxide as a primary feedstock, leading to resource waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a pyrolysis device for producing magnesium carbonate from flotation tailings that is convenient for pyrolysis of magnesite flotation tailings, facilitates the collection of carbon dioxide from pyrolysis, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and improves resource utilization. This would overcome the shortcomings of current applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pyrolysis apparatus for producing magnesium carbonate from flotation tailings, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A pyrolysis apparatus for producing magnesium carbonate from flotation tailings includes a pyrolysis tank, a top cover, a gas supply pipe, a carbon dioxide absorption tank, a connecting pipe, a gas outlet pipe, a vacuum pump, and a carbon dioxide collection tank. The top cover is detachably installed on the top of the pyrolysis tank via threads. A gas supply pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the pyrolysis tank and is equipped with a first valve. Multiple carbon dioxide absorption tanks are interconnected via multiple connecting pipes. The gas supply pipe is fixedly connected to the carbon dioxide absorption tank closest to the pyrolysis tank. A gas outlet pipe is installed on the carbon dioxide absorption tank furthest from the pyrolysis tank and is equipped with a second valve. The carbon dioxide absorption tank is filled with zeolite. An inlet pipe connected to the connecting pipe is installed at the inlet end of the vacuum pump, and a gas collection pipe connected to the carbon dioxide collection tank is installed at the outlet end of the vacuum pump. A third valve is installed on the gas collection pipe, and an exhaust port is installed on the right side of the third valve on the gas collection pipe. A fourth valve is installed on the exhaust port.
[0006] Preferably, a pressure gauge is installed on the connecting pipe.
[0007] Preferably, a heat insulation layer is fixed to the inside of the pyrolysis chamber, and a heater and a temperature sensor are installed on the inside of the heat insulation layer.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the carbon dioxide absorption box is detachably mounted with a cover plate by screws, and a sealing gasket is fixed to the lower side of the cover plate, the sealing gasket being in contact with the carbon dioxide absorption box.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In the pyrolysis device for producing magnesium carbonate from flotation tailings, the tailings from magnesite flotation are added to the pyrolysis tank, the top cover is closed, and the heater is started to heat and decompose the ore. The carbon dioxide produced during decomposition enters the carbon dioxide absorption tank through the gas supply pipe. The carbon dioxide is adsorbed by the zeolite in the absorption tank, and the remaining gas is discharged through the outlet pipe. After pyrolysis, the first, second, and third valves are closed, and the fourth valve is opened. The air pump is then started to extract air from the connecting pipe and the carbon dioxide absorption tank, and the pressure gauge is observed. Initially, the air pumped out from the exhaust port. When the pressure gauge initially shows a negative pressure in the connecting pipe and the carbon dioxide absorption tank, the third valve is opened and the fourth valve is closed. Under negative pressure, the carbon dioxide adsorbed on the zeolite is discharged. The carbon dioxide is then pumped to a carbon dioxide collection tank for storage. In summary, this invention facilitates the pyrolysis of magnesite flotation tailings and the collection of carbon dioxide obtained from pyrolysis, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving resource utilization.

A heater 102 and a temperature sensor 103 are installed inside the heat insulation layer 101. The control switch for the heater 102 is installed on the pyrolysis tank 1 (not shown in the figure). A gas supply pipe 3 is fixed to one side of the pyrolysis tank 1 and connected thereto. A first valve 301 is installed on the gas supply pipe 3. Multiple carbon dioxide absorption tanks 4 are included. The carbon dioxide absorption boxes 4 are interconnected by multiple connecting pipes 5. The gas supply pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the carbon dioxide absorption box 4 closest to the pyrolysis box 1. An outlet pipe 6 is installed on the carbon dioxide absorption box 4 furthest from the pyrolysis box 1. A second valve 601 is installed on the outlet pipe 6. The carbon dioxide absorption box 4 is filled with zeolite, which is used to adsorb carbon dioxide. An inlet pipe 701 connected to the connecting pipe 5 is installed at the inlet end of the vacuum pump 7.

[0019] Working principle: This pyrolysis device for producing magnesium carbonate from flotation tailings is used by adding the tailings obtained from magnesite flotation into the pyrolysis tank 1, then covering it with the top cover 2, and starting the heater 102 to heat and decompose the ore. The carbon dioxide produced during decomposition enters the carbon dioxide absorption tank 4 through the gas supply pipe 3, where it is adsorbed by the zeolite. The remaining gas is discharged through the gas outlet pipe 6. After pyrolysis, the first valve 301, the second valve 601, and the third valve 703 are closed, and the fourth valve 705 is opened. Then, the air pump 7 is started to extract the air from the connecting pipe 5 and the carbon dioxide absorption tank 4, and the pressure gauge 9 is observed. In the initial stage, the air extracted by the air pump 7 is discharged from the exhaust port 704. When the pressure gauge 9 initially observes a negative pressure in the connecting pipe 5 and the carbon dioxide absorption tank 4, the third valve 703 is opened and the fourth valve 705 is closed. Under negative pressure, the carbon dioxide adsorbed on the zeolite is discharged outward, and the carbon dioxide is extracted by the air pump 7 and transported to the carbon dioxide collection tank 8 for storage.
