Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of MVR evaporator crystallizer technology, specifically an MVR evaporator crystallizer. Background Technology
[0002] Nano-aluminum fluoride is a novel nanomaterial with high specific surface area, excellent thermal stability, and chemical inertness. Its nanoscale size endows it with enhanced catalytic activity, optical properties, and mechanical strength, making it suitable for various high-end fields. The current project uses aluminum electrolyte as raw material, adding aluminum sulfate or aluminum chloride to dissolve the electrolyte, then adding sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid to adjust the reaction pH. The main product, nano-aluminum fluoride, is generated through a co-precipitation reaction. Sodium carbonate is added to the liquid portion to produce lithium carbonate as a byproduct, and the remaining liquid is evaporated using MVR to produce sodium sulfate or sodium chloride as byproducts. Current research focuses on low-cost, large-scale preparation technology and environmental safety assessment, with the potential for breakthroughs in new energy and advanced manufacturing fields in the future.
[0003] MVR evaporation uses a centrifugal fan to pressurize and heat steam. The heated steam returns to the evaporator and exchanges heat with the liquid in the internal tube bundle, concentrating the liquid. The concentrated liquid is then centrifuged for crystallization. However, because the internal tube bundle of the evaporator is thin and the liquid contains impurities, the tube bundle can become clogged. At the same time, due to the large temperature difference between the liquid and steam, excessive steam consumption occurs, resulting in a low liquid concentration rate. Therefore, we propose an MVR evaporator crystallizer. Utility Model Content

The air outlet of the centrifugal fan 75... The outlet is connected to the upper end of the outer arc surface of the evaporator 73 via a steam pipe. The input end of the centrifugal fan 75 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 8. Liquid flows into the evaporator 73 and falls as a film after passing through each tube bundle 72. Hot steam exchanges heat with the liquid inside the tube bundle 72 inside the evaporator 73. Part of the liquid inside the tube bundle 72 evaporates, and the concentrated liquid gathers at the lower end of the concentration tower 71 and is sent away. The steam enters the separation tower 76 for cooling and separation, and is then drawn into the centrifugal fan 75 through the connecting pipe 77. After being pressurized by the centrifugal fan 75, it returns to the interior of the evaporator 73 through the steam pipe. After being pressurized, the steam pressure increases and the temperature rises accordingly. Part of the steam condenses after the heat exchange is completed. The lower end of the outer arc surface of the evaporator 73 is provided with a steam outlet and a condensate outlet. Excess steam is discharged through the steam outlet, and condensate is discharged through the condensate outlet.

A connection port is located at the upper left side of the filter cylinder 24 (the connection port extends through the upper end of the filter box 21). The spiral blade shaft 22 is rotatably connected inside the filter cylinder 24. The bolt blades of the spiral blade shaft 22 contact the inner wall of the filter cylinder 24. The inlet of the centrifugal pump 3 is connected to the lower end of the filter box 21 through a connecting pipe. Filter mechanism 2 also includes a filter screen 23. Two filters are snapped into the lower end of the filter box 21. The filter mechanism 2 includes a universal coupling 26 and a motor 27, with the filter screens 23 distributed vertically.

The liquid is initially filtered through the filter holes at the lower end of the filter cylinder 24. The left end of the filter cylinder 24 is tilted downward to prevent the liquid from flowing into the collection box 25. The rotation of the spiral blade shaft 22 scrapes impurities from the inner wall of the filter cylinder 24 into the interior of the collection box 25.

The input end of the heating rods 52 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 8. The filtered liquid is sent into the interior of the heating cylinder 51 through the centrifugal pump 3. The heating rods 52 preheat the liquid, and then the liquid flows into the interior of the evaporator 73.
[0027] It also includes a controller 8, which is located on the upper bottom wall of the support 1. The input end of the controller 8 is electrically connected to an external power source, and the input end of the centrifugal pump 3 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 8.
[0028] The working principle of the MVR evaporator crystallizer provided by this utility model is as follows: Liquid is fed into the filter cylinder 24 through the connection port. The output shaft of the motor 27 drives the spiral blade shaft 22 to rotate via the universal coupling 26. The liquid is initially filtered through the filter holes at the lower end of the filter cylinder 24.

The spiral blade shaft 22 rotates, and the impurities are scraped from left to right from the inner wall of the filter cylinder 24 to the inside of the collection tank 25 by the squeezing of the blades against the inner wall of the filter cylinder 24. Two layers of filter screens 23 filter the liquid again. The filtered liquid is then sent into the heating cylinder 51 by the centrifugal pump 3. The heating rod 52 heats the liquid. Preheating is performed, followed by the liquid flowing into the evaporator 73. After passing through each tube bundle 72, the liquid falls as a film. Hot steam exchanges heat with the liquid inside the tube bundle 72 inside the evaporator 73. Part of the liquid inside the tube bundle 72 evaporates, and the concentrated liquid gathers at the lower end of the concentration tower 71 and is sent away. The steam enters the separation tower 76 for cooling and separation, and is then drawn into the centrifugal fan 75 through the connecting pipe 77. After being pressurized by the centrifugal fan 75, the steam returns to the interior of the evaporator 73 through the steam pipe. After being pressurized, the steam pressure increases and the temperature rises accordingly. Part of the steam condenses after the heat exchange is completed. The lower end of the outer arc surface of the evaporator 73 is provided with a steam port and a condensate port. Excess steam is discharged through the steam port, and condensate is discharged through the condensate port.
