Existing magnesium hydroxide drying devices have low drying efficiency when the initial moisture content is high, and the static setting of magnesium hydroxide during heating results in slow internal moisture removal, which affects the drying efficiency.
The method combines centrifugal dehydration with heating and blowing. The inner cylinder is rotated by a rotary drive mechanism to discharge water using centrifugal force. Then, the water is further removed by a dispersing mechanism and an air supply mechanism to achieve efficient drying.
This improves the drying efficiency of magnesium hydroxide, making it easier to remove moisture and enhancing the overall drying effect.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnesium hydroxide preparation technology, and in particular to a drying device for producing magnesium hydroxide from flotation tailings. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesium hydroxide can be obtained from flotation tailings of magnesite through acid leaching, impurity removal, and precipitation. The magnesium hydroxide obtained after precipitation contains a large amount of water and needs to be dried. Existing drying equipment often directly heats the magnesium hydroxide for drying. However, due to the high water content of the magnesium hydroxide in the initial heating stage, drying efficiency is low by heating alone. Furthermore, the magnesium hydroxide remains largely stationary during heating, resulting in slow water removal from the clumps, further affecting drying efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a drying device for producing magnesium hydroxide from flotation tailings that first reduces the water content through centrifugal dehydration, then further removes water through heating and air blowing, and further disperses the magnesium hydroxide during heating to facilitate water removal, thus achieving higher drying efficiency. This device would overcome the shortcomings of current applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for producing magnesium hydroxide from flotation tailings, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] A drying device for producing magnesium hydroxide from flotation tailings includes an outer cylinder, a dispersing mechanism, a pulse controller, an inner cylinder, an electric heater, a rotary drive mechanism, and an air supply mechanism. The inner cylinder is rotatably connected to the outer cylinder and has multiple water outlet holes. A filter screen is fixed to the inner side of the inner cylinder. The rotary drive mechanism is installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder and drives the inner cylinder to rotate. The rotary drive mechanism includes a servo motor, a first gear, a second gear, and a support shaft. The servo motor is fixed to the bottom of the outer cylinder, and the first gear is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor. A support shaft is provided on one side of the first gear. A second gear meshes with the outer cylinder, the second gear is fixed on the support shaft, the support shaft is rotatably connected to the outer cylinder, the upper end of the support shaft is fixed to the inner cylinder, the pulse controller is installed on the top of the outer cylinder, the servo motor is electrically connected to the pulse controller, the disintegration mechanism is detachably installed on the top of the outer cylinder, the disintegration mechanism is used to insert into the inner cylinder, the air supply mechanism is installed on the outer cylinder and is used to blow air into the inner cylinder, the disintegration mechanism includes: a disc, a connector, and a disintegration frame, the connector and the disintegration frame are respectively fixed to the disc, and the top of the outer cylinder is provided with a slot for inserting the connector.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the outer cylinder is provided with a drainage hole.
[0007] Preferably, a heat insulation layer is fixedly provided on the inner side of the outer cylinder, and the electric heater is fixedly installed on the inner side of the heat insulation layer.
[0008] Preferably, the air supply mechanism includes a fan, a distribution pipe, and air nozzles. The fan is fixed to the outer cylinder, the air outlet of the fan is connected to the distribution pipe, and multiple air nozzles are installed on the distribution pipe, with the air nozzles facing the inner cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the inner cylinder is detachably connected to a top cover via threads.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the drying device for producing magnesium hydroxide from flotation tailings, the magnesium hydroxide to be dried is first added to the inner cylinder, and the top cover is closed. At this time, the dispersing mechanism is not inserted into the inner cylinder. Then, the servo motor is controlled to rotate at 2000 rpm by a pulse controller. The servo motor drives the first gear, the second gear, and the support shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the inner cylinder to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water in the magnesium hydroxide is forced through the filter screen and the outlet hole, and then discharged from the drain hole. After centrifugal dehydration is completed, the servo motor is turned off first, and then the top cover is removed. Then, the dispersing mechanism is removed, and the dispersing frame is inserted into the inner cylinder, with the insertion frame snapping into the slot. At this point, there is a gap between the disc and the inner wall of the inner cylinder to allow moisture to escape. Then, the servo motor is controlled to rotate at 10 revolutions per minute by a pulse controller, and the heater and fan are started. The heater heats the magnesium hydroxide, and the fan blows air onto the magnesium hydroxide to remove moisture. Simultaneously, the servo motor drives the first gear, the second gear, the support shaft, and the inner cylinder to rotate. The inner cylinder drives the magnesium hydroxide inside to rotate, and as the magnesium hydroxide rotates, it comes into contact with the dispersing frame and is dispersed, allowing moisture to escape and improving drying efficiency. In summary, this invention first reduces the water content of magnesium hydroxide through centrifugal dehydration, then further removes moisture through heating and blowing air. Furthermore, the magnesium hydroxide is dispersed during heating and drying, making it easier for moisture to escape and resulting in higher drying efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The water then flows out from the drain hole 103. After centrifugal dehydration, the servo motor 601 is turned off first, then the top cover 403 is removed. Then, the... The lower dispersing mechanism 2 then inserts the dispersing frame 203 into the inner cylinder 4 and makes the insertion frame 202 snap into the slot 102. At this time, there is a gap between the disc 201 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder 4 so that water vapor can be discharged. Then, the pulse controller 3 controls the speed of the servo motor 601 to 10 revolutions per minute, starts the electric heater 5 and the fan 701. The electric heater 5 heats the magnesium hydroxide, and the fan 701 blows air onto the magnesium hydroxide to remove the water vapor. At the same time, the servo motor 601 drives the first gear 602, the second gear 603, the support shaft 604 and the inner cylinder 4 to rotate. The inner cylinder 4 drives the magnesium hydroxide inside to rotate. When the magnesium hydroxide rotates, it comes into contact with the dispersing frame 203 and is dispersed so that the moisture can be discharged and the drying efficiency can be improved.
