The rear side of the diversion pipe 15 is connected to an aeration pipe 16. The rear side of the aeration pipe 16 extends to the rear side of the inner wall of the vacuum tower 1. The aeration pipe 16 is located in the liquid storage section of the baffle plate 9.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an aeration mechanism, the reaction speed of the liquid in the liquid storage section of each baffle plate 9 can be further accelerated, which makes it more convenient for users.

[0028] refer to Figure 5 The bottom of the discharge pump 11 is fixedly connected to a fine-tuning tank 17. The bottom of the fine-tuning tank 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the finished product tank 13 via a bracket. A short pipe 18 is connected to the upper right side of the fine-tuning tank 17. The right side of the short pipe 18 is connected to the left side of the connecting pipe 12. A vertical pipe 19 is connected to the middle of the bottom of the fine-tuning tank 17. The bottom of the vertical pipe 19 is connected to the top of the finished product tank 13. Solenoid valves 20 are installed on the surface of the short pipe 18 and the vertical pipe 19, as well as on the connecting pipe 12 near the bottom of the short pipe 18.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a fine-tuning tank 17, it is possible to perform secondary alkali addition adjustment on the unqualified conversion liquid when the pH value of the finished product is lower than the qualified pH range, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the final product quality.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the vacuum pump 7 is started to create a negative pressure state in the vacuum tower 1, continuously removing the gas generated during the reaction. Then, the delivery pump 4 is started to absorb the raw materials in the conversion liquid tank 2 and the alkali tank 3, allowing the raw materials to flow out from the output end of the delivery pump 4. The raw materials are then atomized and sprayed out through the feed pipe 5 and the atomizing spray pipe 6, mixing the two raw materials. The mixed raw materials fall onto the baffle plate 9, flowing downwards layer by layer along the baffle plate 9. Simultaneously, the aeration fan 14 is started, generating airflow at its output end. This airflow is blown into the raw materials in the storage section of the baffle plate 9 through the diversion pipe 15 and the aeration pipe 16, agitating the raw materials. Finally, the reacted raw materials fall to the bottom of the vacuum tower 1, utilizing the acidity and alkalinity... The detector 23 detects the quality of the raw materials. When the finished product is qualified, the discharge pump 11 is started. The input end of the discharge pump 11 generates suction to absorb the qualified product through the discharge pipe 10, so that the qualified product is discharged from the output end of the discharge pump 11 and flows into the finished product tank 13 through the connecting pipe 12. When the finished product is unqualified, the solenoid valve 20 on the connecting pipe 12 is closed and the solenoid valve 20 on the short pipe 18 is opened, so that the unqualified raw material is discharged from the output end of the discharge pump 11 and flows into the fine-tuning tank 17 through the connecting pipe 12 and the short pipe 18. The alkaline solution pre-stored in the fine-tuning tank 17 is used for a secondary reaction. After the reaction is completed, the solenoid valve 20 on the vertical pipe 19 is opened, so that the finished product after the secondary reaction falls into the finished product tank 13 through the vertical pipe 19. At this time, the sodium nitrate product can be processed and produced to reduce the nitrite content in the sodium nitrate.

[0037] In summary, this reaction device for reducing nitrite content, by incorporating a vacuum tower 1, conversion liquid tank 2, alkali liquid tank 3, delivery pump 4, feed pipe 5, atomizing spray pipe 6, vacuum pump 7, extraction pipe 8, baffle plate 9, discharge pipe 10, discharge pump 11, connecting pipe 12, and finished product tank 13, solves the problem that traditional reaction devices, which often use stirring to reduce sodium nitrite content in the conversion liquid, suffer from incomplete conversion of sodium nitrite in the mother liquor due to short conversion time and large conversion volume, resulting in unstable sodium nitrite levels in the sodium nitrate product.
