Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vanadium removal technology, and more specifically, to a vanadium removal device for sodium aluminate solution. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of alumina, sodium aluminate solution is required as a raw material. Sodium aluminate solution often contains various impurities. Vanadium ions can be removed by using appropriate vanadium removal devices. Currently, vanadium ions can be removed by crystal precipitation of sodium aluminate solution. Based on the working principle of material precipitation, vanadium ions can settle after crystallization, thus easily being removed from sodium aluminate solution.
[0003] In existing technologies, the removal of vanadium ions is affected by material flow rate and precipitation time, resulting in insufficient precipitation and high vanadium ion content in the filtrate. There is a lack of rapid and stable vanadium removal structures using sodium aluminate solutions, and both the safety and practicality of these methods need improvement. Furthermore, a utility model patent with publication number CN221358561U discloses a titanium tetrachloride vanadium removal and purification device using mineral oil. This device includes a base plate with an electric heating jacket mounted on the left side of the upper surface. A round-bottom flask is placed inside the heating jacket, and a thermometer is connected to the flask. A condenser tube is also connected to one end of the flask, and the other end of the condenser tube is connected to one end of a tail pipe. The other end of the tail pipe is connected to a receiving bottle, which is placed on the base plate. The device also includes a fixing frame fixed to the right side of the heating jacket, with a movable frame connected to it. This complex structure is unsuitable for alumina production workshops and cannot effectively remove vanadium ions from sodium aluminate solutions, thus requiring further improvement in both safety and practicality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them.

[0029] This embodiment involves feeding the sodium aluminate solution to be treated into a dissolving tank. After adding dry vanadium, the solution is stirred by a stirring assembly. Then, under the action of a solution pump, the thoroughly stirred solution is sent to a settling tank for vanadium crystallization and precipitation, thereby removing vanadium. Simultaneously, dry vanadium can be added to the dissolving tank to dissolve and mix, increasing the particle size and mass of vanadium ions in the solution. This facilitates better precipitation of vanadium crystals in the settling tank, further improving the vanadium removal efficiency of the device for sodium aluminate solutions. Specific implementation details are as follows:
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a vanadium removal device for sodium aluminate solution includes a dissolving tank 1, a solution pump 2, a settling tank 3, and a stirring assembly 6. The stirring assembly 6 is disposed inside the dissolving tank 1. The top of the dissolving tank 1 is connected to a feed pipe 4 for supplying sodium aluminate solution and a feed pipe 5 for adding dry vanadium. The bottom outlet of the dissolving tank 1 is connected to the settling tank 3 via a conveying pipe 7, on which the solution pump 2 is installed. The sodium aluminate solution to be treated is fed into the dissolving tank 1 through the feed pipe 4. After adding dry vanadium through the feed pipe 5, the stirring assembly 6 stirs the solution. Then, under the action of the solution pump 2, the thoroughly stirred solution is sent to the settling tank 3 for vanadium crystallization and sedimentation, thereby removing vanadium. At the same time, the addition of dry vanadium to the dissolving tank 1 for dissolution and mixing can improve the particle size and quality of vanadium ions in the solution, facilitating better precipitation of vanadium crystals in the settling tank 3, and further improving the vanadium removal effect of the device on sodium aluminate solution.
[0031] The stirring assembly 6 includes a stirring motor 13 and a stirring paddle 14. The stirring motor 13 is installed at the center of the top of the dissolving tank 1. The movable end of the stirring motor 13 passes through the dissolving tank 1 and is connected to the stirring paddle 14. The bottom of the stirring paddle 14 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the dissolving tank 1. By driving the stirring paddle 14 with the stirring motor 13, the sodium aluminate solution and dry vanadium can be thoroughly stirred and mixed in the dissolving tank 1, thereby facilitating the subsequent vanadium removal from the sodium aluminate solution.
[0032] The top of the dissolving tank 1 is connected to the feed pipe 4 and the feeding pipe 5 on both sides of the stirring motor 13. The feed pipe 4 is equipped with a feed valve 16. By controlling the feed pipe 4 through the feed valve 16, the amount of sodium aluminate solution entering the dissolving tank 1 can be controlled.
[0033] A detachable scraper 19 is installed on the stirring paddle 14 near the inner wall of the dissolving tank 1. The scraper 19 is in close contact with the inner wall of the dissolving tank 1 and is equipped with bristles. The scraper 19 can rotate with the stirring paddle 14 to remove solution residue in the dissolving tank 1 and improve the cleaning effect.
[0034] The input end of solution pump 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of dissolving tank 1, and the output end of solution pump 2 is fixedly connected to the top of settling tank 3 through conveying pipe 7. Solution pump 2 can quickly extract the mixed solution from dissolving tank 1 to settling tank 3 for processing, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0035] The settling tank 3 is equipped with a drain pipe 11 on its side wall and a crystallization precipitate pipe 12 at its bottom. Sodium aluminate solution can be discharged during the settling process through the drain pipe 11, and vanadium impurities in the sodium aluminate solution can be discharged through the crystallization precipitate pipe 12.
[0036] A monitoring box 8 is installed on the conveying pipe 7, and a pressure monitoring component is installed on the monitoring box 8. The pressure monitoring component includes an alarm 10 and a pressure detector 15. The pressure detector 15 is installed on the conveying pipe 7, and its detection end is located on the inner wall of the conveying pipe 7. The alarm 10 is installed on the top of the monitoring box 8 and is electrically connected to the pressure detector 15. Through the monitoring box 8 and the pressure monitoring component installed on the conveying pipe 7, the pipeline pressure can be monitored under the action of the pressure detector 15. In case of abnormality, the alarm 10 will sound an alarm to facilitate timely handling by the staff.
[0037] A display 9 is installed in the center of the front of the monitoring box 8, and the display 9 is electrically connected to the pressure detector 15. The display 9 can display the water pressure data inside the pipeline, which is convenient for staff to view and control.
[0038] The conveying pipe 7 is provided with a reinforcing sleeve 17 on the outside and a corrosion-resistant inner tube 18 on the inside. The reinforcing sleeve 17 on the outside of the conveying pipe 7 can improve the protection of the pipe, making it less prone to damage and increasing its strength. At the same time, the corrosion-resistant inner tube 18 on the inside of the conveying pipe 7 can improve the corrosion resistance of the pipe, thereby increasing its service life.
[0039] A support base 20 is installed at the bottom of the settling tank 3. The support base 20 can raise the settling tank 3, thereby facilitating better crystal precipitation.
[0040] Working principle: The sodium aluminate solution to be treated is fed into the dissolving tank. After adding dry vanadium, the solution is stirred by a stirring component. Then, under the action of a solution pump, the thoroughly stirred solution is sent to the settling tank for vanadium crystallization and sedimentation, thereby removing vanadium. At the same time, dry vanadium can be added to the dissolving tank to dissolve and mix, increasing the particle size and quality of vanadium ions in the solution, which facilitates better precipitation of vanadium crystals in the settling tank, further improving the vanadium removal effect of the device on sodium aluminate solution. The monitoring box and pressure monitoring component installed on the conveying pipe can monitor the pipeline pressure under the action of a pressure detector. An alarm can be triggered in case of abnormality, which can help remind the staff to deal with it in time. The reinforcing sleeve installed on the outside of the conveying pipe can improve the protection of the pipeline, making it less prone to damage and increasing its strength. At the same time, the corrosion-resistant inner tube installed inside the conveying pipe can improve the corrosion resistance of the pipeline, thereby increasing its service life.
