Description

A device for the resource utilization of industrial sodium-based waste salt Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial waste salt resource utilization technology, specifically relating to an industrial sodium-based waste salt resource utilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial sodium-based waste salt (sodium-containing industrial waste salt) refers to waste containing large amounts of sodium during industrial production processes. This waste salt typically originates from industries such as chemical processing, salt production, and metal processing, and its main components include sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and sodium carbonate. Traditionally, the primary method for treating industrial waste salt is stockpiling. However, because this waste salt is usually highly corrosive and toxic, stockpiling poses a serious threat to the environment.

[0003] To address this problem, those skilled in the art have developed industrial waste salt treatment devices. For example, the utility model patent technology entitled "An Industrial Waste Salt Pyrolysis System," authorized by the Chinese Patent Office on June 21, 2022, with publication number CN216779827U, includes a feeding crushing and grinding device, a screw conveyor, a pyrolysis reactor, a screw discharge device, a pyrolysis gas combustion chamber, and an air heat exchanger. The pyrolysis reactor further includes a feeding nozzle, a pyrolysis gas outlet, a hot flue gas nozzle, and a discharge port. The hot air channel in the feeding nozzle is connected to the air heat exchanger. While the above technology treats industrial waste salt through pyrolysis and has achieved some success, it suffers from a low resource conversion rate. Summary of the Invention
