[0002] Sodium metabisulfite is an important reducing agent. Industrially, sodium metabisulfite is generally produced by a wet process: SO2 and soda ash solution are reacted countercurrently in a three-stage series reactor to produce sodium bisulfite. Sodium bisulfite is dehydrated to precipitate sodium metabisulfite crystals, which are then centrifuged and dried to obtain the finished product.
[0003] Utility model patent CN203006961U discloses a device for producing sodium metabisulfite and anhydrous sodium sulfite, comprising a sodium metabisulfite production system and an anhydrous sodium sulfite production system simultaneously connected to a main sulfur dioxide gas pipeline. The sodium metabisulfite production system adopts a three-stage series countercurrent absorption structure, while the anhydrous sodium sulfite production system adopts a two-stage spray absorption structure. This utility model utilizes sulfur dioxide gas generated from the roasting of sulfide ore to produce sodium metabisulfite and anhydrous sodium sulfite, reducing the manufacturing cost of sodium metabisulfite and anhydrous sodium sulfite, improving the utilization rate of pyrite resources, and featuring a reasonable structure that is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
[0004] However, the sodium metabisulfite prepared by the above-mentioned invention has a small particle size, resulting in a short product agglomeration cycle and affecting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a coarse-grained sodium pyrosulfite production device, which can increase the particle size of sodium pyrosulfite, improve the main content of the product, enhance product quality, and extend the product agglomeration cycle.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] This invention relates to a coarse-crystal sodium metabisulfite production apparatus. The alkaline solution in the secondary reactor is pumped into the primary reactor via a flow pump (the amount added is adjusted by a gas flow meter) to absorb sulfur dioxide, forming a saturated sodium metabisulfite solution. This saturated solution is then pumped into a crystallizer for crystal formation. After crystal formation, the concentration of the sodium metabisulfite solution in the crystallizer decreases, and it flows back to the primary reactor via an overflow pipe. Through continuous circulation, the sodium metabisulfite crystals continuously increase in size within the crystallizer. Once the required quality is achieved, the crystallizer discharge valve is opened, and the resulting coarse-crystal clinker is dehydrated, dried, and packaged to obtain large-particle-size sodium metabisulfite. This invention can improve product particle size, increase the main content of the product, and extend the product agglomeration cycle. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a crude sodium metabisulfite production apparatus includes a primary reactor 1, a secondary reactor 2, a tertiary reactor 3, and a sodium carbonate solution tank 4 connected in series. The primary reactor 1 has a sulfur dioxide inlet 101 on its side wall. Sulfur dioxide gas passes sequentially through the primary reactor 1, secondary reactor 2, and tertiary reactor 3, while the sodium carbonate solution passes sequentially through the tertiary reactor 3, secondary reactor 2, and primary reactor 1, absorbing the sulfur dioxide in a countercurrent manner to produce the sodium metabisulfite solution. Each of the primary reactor 1, secondary reactor 2, and tertiary reactor 3 is equipped with a stirrer 5 to ensure a more complete absorption reaction.
[0023] A flow pump 6 is installed on the connecting pipe between the secondary reactor 2 and the primary reactor 1 to control the amount of alkali pumped into the primary reactor 1; a gas flow meter 7 is installed on the sulfur dioxide inlet 101 to adjust the amount of sulfur dioxide added so that it matches the amount of alkali pumped into the secondary reactor 2. A pH probe 8 is installed inside the primary reactor 1 to monitor the pH value in the reactor in real time, facilitating the operator to adjust the ratio of alkali to sulfur dioxide.
[0024] The bottom of the primary reactor 1 is connected to the crystallizer 9 via a conveying pipe. A conveying pump 10 is installed on the conveying pipe to pump the saturated sodium metabisulfite solution in the primary reactor 1 into the crystallizer 9 for crystal formation. The crystallizer 9 is installed higher than the primary reactor 1. The top of the crystallizer 9 is equipped with an overflow pipe 11 connected to the primary reactor 1, and the bottom of the crystallizer 9 is connected to a discharge pipe 12. A discharge valve 13 is installed at the upper end of the discharge pipe 12.
[0025] A cooler 14 is installed inside the side wall of the crystallizer 9, and a temperature probe 15 is installed inside the crystallizer 9. The cooler 14 and the temperature probe 15 are connected to the control unit. Through the function of the cooler 14, the crystallizer 9 can maintain a stable crystallization temperature, thereby improving the crystallization effect.
[0026] The discharge pipe 12 is equipped with a rinsing structure, and a three-way valve 16 is located at the bottom of the discharge pipe 12. One port of the three-way valve 16 is connected to the centrifuge 17, and the other port of the three-way valve 16 is connected to the rinsing liquid tank 18 through a pipe. The rinsing liquid tank 18 is connected to the sodium carbonate liquid tank 4 through a pipe. The liquid outlet of the centrifuge 17 is connected to the separation liquid tank 19, which is connected to the sodium carbonate liquid tank 4. The solid outlet of the centrifuge 17 is connected to the dryer 20.
[0027] Based on the above structure, under normal circumstances, one port of the three-way valve 16 is open and the second port is closed. At this time, the crystallized slurry discharged from the discharge pipe 12 can enter the centrifuge 17. After the centrifuge 17 separates the material from the liquid, the separated liquid returns to the sodium carbonate liquid tank 4 for recycling, while the crystals enter the dryer 20 for drying, and finally the finished product is obtained. When the slurry in the discharge pipe 12 is blocked, one port of the three-way valve 16 is closed and the second port is opened. Clean water is injected into the discharge pipe 12 through the flushing structure for flushing. The flushing liquid then returns to the sodium carbonate liquid tank 4 for recycling after passing through the flushing liquid tank 18.
[0028] The flushing structure includes multiple nozzles 21, and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 12 has multiple nozzle holes, with the nozzles 21 located inside the nozzle holes. Each nozzle hole has a one-way cover 22 that opens into the discharge pipe 12, ensuring that slurry does not enter the nozzle hole during normal use. A permanent magnet 23 is located on the inner side of the one-way cover 22, and an electromagnet 24 is located inside the nozzle hole. A switch controlling the magnetism of the electromagnet 24 is located outside the discharge pipe 12. By changing the magnetism of the electromagnet 24, it can attract the permanent magnet 23 (closing the one-way cover 22) or repel the permanent magnet 23 (opening the one-way cover 22). The side wall of the discharge pipe 12 has pipes connecting to the multiple nozzles 21, and the outer wall of the discharge pipe 12 has flushing connectors 25 connecting to these pipes.
[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the 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. However, 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.
