Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lead-acid battery technology, specifically relating to an acid recycling system. Background Technology

[0002] The internal formation of lead-acid batteries includes two process paths: the first is a single-stage acid addition formation process, and the second is an acid addition formation + acid dumping + acid mixing process. For the "acid addition formation + acid dumping + acid mixing" process, the acid dumped from the battery after formation is generally recycled. The conventional method is to collect the sulfuric acid dumped during formation at the production site and then transport it to the acid mixing station via acid transfer pumps and pipelines. At the acid mixing station, the recycled acid is mixed to the specified density in the mixing tanks. Then, the qualified mixed acid is transported to the acid storage tank. After the acid temperature in the storage tank drops to the range required by the process, it can be transported to the formation site for use as sulfuric acid in the acid addition formation.

[0003] The drawback of the conventional method is that the sulfuric acid collected and poured out during the formation process cannot be directly used for acid formation. This results in low recycling efficiency of the sulfuric acid solution poured out from the battery after formation, the need for more acid mixing tanks at the acid mixing station, relatively low production efficiency, and relatively high production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an acid recycling system that improves the recycling efficiency of the sulfuric acid solution poured out of the battery after formation, reduces the demand for acid tanks at the acid mixing station, and ultimately helps to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an acid recycling system for on-site recovery and recycling of low-density sulfuric acid solution after formation, comprising an acid collection tank, an acid delivery pump, an acid mixing tank, and acid pipelines connecting them, characterized in that: it further includes an acid dilution tank, a heat exchanger, and an acid storage tank; wherein, the acid delivery pump, the acid dilution tank, and the heat exchanger are sequentially connected by acid pipelines, and a second valve is provided between the acid delivery pump and the acid dilution tank; a third valve is provided between the acid delivery pump and the acid mixing tank; the acid mixing tank and the acid storage tank are connected by acid pipelines.

[0006] In the technical solution of this utility model, a first valve is provided between the acid collection tank and the acid delivery pump.

[0007] In the technical solution of this utility model, the acid collection tank, acid transfer pump, acid dilution tank and heat exchanger are located inside or around the battery production formation workshop; the acid mixing tank and acid storage tank are located at the acid mixing station.

[0008] In the technical solution of this utility model, the acid dilution tank and the acid collection pool are installed nearby; the acid mixing tank and the acid storage tank are installed nearby.

[0009] In the technical solution of this utility model, the acid mixing tank is installed close to the concentrated acid tank of the acid mixing station and is connected to the concentrated acid tank through an acid pipeline.

[0010] In the technical solution of this utility model, the heat exchanger is connected to the acid adding machine through an acid liquid pipeline; the acid storage tank is connected to the paste adding equipment or the liquid level adjustment station before the battery formation line through an acid liquid pipeline.

[0011] The acid dilution tank described in this utility model's technical solution is equipped with a pure water pipeline and connected to a pure water filling device.

[0012] This invention employs an acid recycling system comprising an acid collection tank, an acid delivery pump, an acid mixing tank, an acid dilution tank, a heat exchanger, an acid storage tank, and connecting acid pipelines. This system is used for the on-site recovery and recycling of low-density sulfuric acid solution after it has been formed. The acid delivery pump, acid dilution tank, and heat exchanger are sequentially connected via acid pipelines. A second valve is installed between the acid delivery pump and the acid dilution tank, and a third valve is installed between the acid delivery pump and the acid mixing tank. The acid mixing tank and the acid storage tank are connected via acid pipelines. Therefore, during use, the low-density sulfuric acid solution can be recycled... The acid (density 1.06g / ml-1.14g / ml) is collected on-site and pumped to an acid dilution tank. After dilution with pure water (density 1.01g / ml-1.05g / ml) and cooling by a heat exchanger, it is directly used on-site for acidification. If on-site acidification cannot completely consume the recovered acid, the excess recovered acid is pumped to an acid mixing tank. In the acid mixing tank, the recovered acid is mixed with a high-concentration sulfuric acid solution to prepare an acid solution of appropriate concentration, which is then transported to the corresponding workstation for battery fluid level adjustment or for adding acid to battery paste.

[0013] This invention features the ability to dilute a portion of the recovered acid solution for on-site acidification, and to prepare a suitable concentration of acid solution by mixing the surplus recovered acid solution with a higher concentration sulfuric acid solution for use in adjusting battery electrolyte levels or adding acid to battery paste, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. It is mainly used for on-site recycling of low-density sulfuric acid solution after formation. Attached Figure Description
