DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0026] The utility model provides a kind of gas stripping type nickel-iron slag water separation transport device as Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, including:
[0027] Base 1, the top of base 1 is connected with separation tank 2, the separation tank 2 is sequentially separated into slag flushing pool 4, sedimentation tank 5 and draining pool 6 by two groups of partitions 3, and the slag flushing pool 4 is provided with a slag flushing assembly for flushing nickel-iron slag;
[0028] Pneumatic lifter 7, the pneumatic lifter 7 is arranged in the sedimentation tank 5, for conveying slag water mixture into the draining pool 6;
[0029] Draining frame 8, the draining frame 8 is connected in the draining pool 6, for draining slag water mixture.
[0030] The bottom of the pneumatic lifter 7 is provided with lifting pipe 9, the top is provided with discharge pipe 10, one end of discharge pipe 10 is connected with elbow 11, and the other end of elbow 11 extends into the draining frame 8.
[0031] The slag flushing assembly includes a water distribution tank 12 and a high-pressure water pump 13. The water distribution tank 12 is located inside the slag flushing pool 4, and the high-pressure water pump 13 is located inside the water distribution tank 12.
[0032] The water distribution tank 12 is provided with several diversion channels 14, and the bottom of the water distribution tank 12 is provided with several nozzles 23, one end of which is connected to the diversion channel 14.
[0033] The inlet of the high-pressure water pump 13 is connected to an external water inlet pipe, and the outlet is connected to one of the diversion channels 14 through a pipe.
[0034] The separation box 2 is provided with a slag trough 15 on one side near the slag flushing pool 4. The slag trough 15 is an inclined trough that uses gravity to guide the high-temperature molten slag to flow by gravity. The bottom of the separation box 2 is provided with a slurry pump 16, and the water inlet of the slurry pump 16 is connected to the slag flushing pool 4 through a pipe, and the water outlet is connected to the sedimentation tank 5 through a pipe.
[0035] The sedimentation tank 5 and the drainage tank 6 are connected by a return pipe 17, and a one-way valve 18 is provided on the return pipe 17. A water pump is installed in the return pipe 17. When the water pump is started, the water pump can draw water from the bottom of the drainage tank 6. The water is transported to the sedimentation tank 5 through the return pipe 17. The fine particles in the water can settle again, and the clear water is used for the next round of sedimentation. When the water pump stops, the one-way valve 18 closes to prevent the sludge and water in the sedimentation tank 5 from flowing back into the drainage tank 6.
[0036] The separation box 2 is hinged to a sealing door 19 on its surface and at the drain pool 6. The drain rack 8 has a slot 21 at its bottom and a cleaning plate 20 is slidably inserted into the slot 21. A rubber sealing ring is provided at the closure of the sealing door 19 and the drain pool 6 to prevent the drained liquid from leaking out from the sealing door 19.
[0037] In this air-lift nickel-iron slag water separation and transportation device, the high-temperature molten slag produced by smelting flows into the slag flushing pool 4 through the slag ditch 15, and is initially cooled by contact with the water in the slag flushing pool 4. The high-pressure water pump 13 is started by the external controller, and the high-pressure water pump 13 draws water from the external water inlet pipe and transports it through the pipe to the diversion channel 14 in the water distribution tank 12. After the water is evenly distributed by the diversion channel 14, it is sprayed out in a columnar shape from the nozzle 23 at the bottom of the water distribution tank 12, forming a high-speed water flow that washes and cools the nickel-iron slag and breaks it into fine particles, which are then mixed with water to form a slag-water mixture.
[0038] Then, the slurry pump 16 can be started by an external controller. The slag-water mixture in the slag flushing tank 4 is extracted by the slurry pump 16 and transported to the sedimentation tank 5 through the pipeline. After the mixture in the sedimentation tank 5 is allowed to settle, the nickel-iron slag particles (high density) settle to the bottom of the tank. Then, the pneumatic elevator 7 can be started by an external controller. The pneumatic elevator 7 is based on the principle of air lifting liquid, also known as the air lifting principle. Compressed air is introduced into the lifting pipe 9 at the bottom of the pneumatic elevator 7 through an external air source such as an air compressor. The air expands in the lifting pipe 9 and forms a large number of bubbles, which are fully mixed with the suspension in the sedimentation tank 5 to form a gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow. The mixed flow formed rises along the lifting pipe 9 under the action of buoyancy. After reaching the top of the pneumatic elevator 7, it is transported at an angle to the top of the drain rack 8 in the draining tank 6 through the discharge pipe 10 and the bend pipe 11. The mixture falls from the outlet of the bend pipe 11, realizing cross-regional transportation from the sedimentation tank 5 to the draining tank 6.
[0039] After the slag-water mixture falls onto the drain rack 8, the water flows into the bottom of the drain pool 6 through the holes because the rack 8 is made of metal mesh or perforated plate. The nickel-iron slag remains in the drain rack 8, completing the final solid-liquid separation. The water after solid-liquid separation flows from the bottom of the drain pool 6 into the sedimentation tank 5 through the return pipe 17 under the action of the one-way valve 18, participating in the next round of sedimentation process, thus avoiding water waste.
[0040] After the nickel-iron slag is drained, the sealing door 19 can be opened manually, and then the cleaning plate 20 can be pulled manually to slide out from the slot 21 at the bottom of the drain rack 8. The slag can then be discharged from the discharge port 22 at the bottom of the drain rack 8 and transported away by belt conveyor or truck, which greatly improves the speed of manual cleaning.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
