Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0025] A filtration device for producing silica sol semi-finished product using the silica powder method includes a plate and frame filter press 1 for solid-liquid separation of the silica sol semi-finished product through mechanical pressure. A first conveying pipe 2 is provided on the surface of the plate and frame filter press 1 for connecting the plate and frame filter press 1 and a slurry pump 3. The slurry pump 3 is installed at the end of the first conveying pipe 2 away from the plate and frame filter press 1 for conveying the silica sol semi-finished product containing silica powder. A second conveying pipe 4 is provided on the surface of the slurry pump 3 for connecting the slurry pump 3 and a quartz sand filter 5. The quartz sand filter 5 is inserted and connected at the end of the second conveying pipe 4 away from the slurry pump 3 for filtering the silica sol with high turbidity through granular or non-granular quartz sand of a certain thickness, effectively trapping and removing suspended solids, colloidal particles, and some heavy metals. A water pipe 6 is inserted and connected to the surface of the filter 5 for supplying tap water to the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8. A three-phase pipe 7 is inserted and connected to the surface of the quartz sand filter 5 for connecting the quartz sand filter 5, the ion exchange resin filter 8, and the wastewater tank 13. An ion exchange resin filter 8 is inserted and connected to the surface of the water pipe 6 for secondary filtration and adjustment of the alkalinity of the semi-finished product. A third conveying pipe 9 is inserted and connected to the surface of the ion exchange resin filter 8 for connecting the ion exchange resin filter 8 and the first magnetic pump 10. The first magnetic pump 10 is installed at the end of the third conveying pipe 9 away from the ion exchange resin filter 8 for conveying the silica sol semi-finished product. The surface of the first magnetic pump 10 is provided with... The fourth conveying pipe 11 connects the first magnetic pump 10 and the semi-finished product tank 12. The end of the fourth conveying pipe 11 furthest from the first magnetic pump 10 is connected to the semi-finished product tank 12 for storing the filtered silica sol semi-finished product. A wastewater tank 13 is connected to the surface of the three-phase pipe 7 for storing the filtered water from the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8. A fifth conveying pipe 14 connects the surface of the wastewater tank 13 to the second magnetic pump 15. The end of the fifth conveying pipe 14 furthest from the wastewater tank 13 is equipped with the second magnetic pump 15 for conveying the filtered water. A sixth conveying pipe 16 connects the second magnetic pump 15 to the reaction vessel 17. A reaction vessel 17 is plugged into the end furthest from the second magnetic pump 15 for purifying and filtering water. A sealing sleeve 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the three-phase pipeline 7 to improve the sealing of the connection between the three-phase pipeline 7 and the wastewater tank 13. An external threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the three-phase pipeline 7 for installing a mounting rod 21. A mounting slot 20 is provided on the surface of the external threaded rod 19 for inserting the mounting rod 21. A mounting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the wastewater tank 13 for mounting on the surface of the external threaded rod 19. A limit block 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting rod 21 to limit the connection position of the internal threaded sleeve 23. An internal threaded sleeve 23 is movably connected to the surface of the mounting rod 21 to fix the connection position of the external threaded rod 19 and the mounting rod 21.The plate and frame filter press 1, slurry pump 3, quartz sand filter 5, ion exchange resin filter 8, first magnetic pump 10, semi-finished product tank 12, wastewater tank 13, second magnetic pump 15, and reaction vessel 17 are all existing products and are not considered as technical protection points in this application; therefore, they will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Furthermore, the slurry pump 3 is connected to the internal passage of the plate and frame filter press 1 through the first conveying pipe 2, and the quartz sand filter 5 is connected to the internal passage of the slurry pump 3 through the second conveying pipe 4. After the silica sol semi-finished product is filtered by the plate and frame filter press 1, there will be a lot of fine silica powder. Then, the slurry pump 3 transports the silica sol semi-finished product together with the silica powder through the first conveying pipe 2 and the second conveying pipe 4 into the interior of the quartz sand filter 5. The quartz sand filter 5 uses quartz sand as the filter medium. Under a certain pressure, the silica sol with high turbidity is filtered through a certain thickness of granular or non-granular quartz sand, effectively intercepting and removing suspended solids, colloidal particles and some heavy metals, and finally achieving the purpose of reducing turbidity and achieving purification.

[0027] Furthermore, the first magnetic pump 10 is connected to the internal passage of the ion exchange resin filter 8 through the third conveying pipe 9, and the semi-finished product tank 12 is connected to the internal passage of the first magnetic pump 10 through the fourth conveying pipe 11. The silica sol semi-finished product is then conveyed into the ion exchange resin filter 8. The residual silica powder is removed a second time by filtration through the ion exchange resin filter 8. The ion exchange resin filter 8 has a better filtration effect than the quartz sand filter 5, and the use of ion exchange resin can also adjust the alkalinity of the semi-finished product. After multiple filtrations, the first magnetic pump 10 conveys the purified silica sol semi-finished product into the semi-finished product tank 12 through the third conveying pipe 9 and the fourth conveying pipe 11 for storage. After a period of use, the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8 have adsorbed and trapped a lot of impurities, so they need to be backwashed with tap water. The tap water pipe 6 continuously conveys tap water into the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8 to repeatedly rinse them.

[0028] Furthermore, the wastewater tank 13 is connected to the internal passage of the quartz sand filter 5 via the three-phase pipe 7, and the wastewater tank 13 is also connected to the internal passage of the ion exchange resin filter 8 via the three-phase pipe 7. When the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8 filter the silica sol semi-finished product, a large amount of filtered water will be generated. The filtered water is transported into the wastewater tank 13 for storage through the three-phase pipe 7.

[0029] Furthermore, the second magnetic pump 15 is connected to the internal passage of the wastewater tank 13 through the fifth conveying pipe 14, and the reaction vessel 17 is connected to the internal passage of the second magnetic pump 15 through the sixth conveying pipe 16. Then, the second magnetic pump 15 conveys the filtered water into the reaction vessel 17 through the fifth conveying pipe 14 and the sixth conveying pipe 16 to neutralize and purify the filtered water for reuse and reduce water waste.

[0030] Furthermore, there are multiple sets of sealing sleeves 18, multiple sets of external threaded rods 19, and multiple sets of mounting rods 21. Each set of conveying pipes and devices has a sealing sleeve 18 at the connection part, and each set of conveying pipes and devices is connected together for use through external threaded rods 19 and mounting rods 21.

[0031] Furthermore, the sealing sleeve 18 is connected to the interior of the wastewater tank 13 via the three-phase pipe 7, and the mounting rod 21 is connected to the surface of the external thread rod 19 via the mounting slot 20, so that the three-phase pipe 7 is installed on the surface of the wastewater tank 13, and the mounting rod 21 is inserted into the interior of the mounting slot 20.

[0032] Furthermore, the internal threaded sleeve 23 is movably connected to the surface of the mounting rod 21 and the external threaded rod 19. The internal threaded sleeve 23 is threaded onto the surface of the external threaded rod 19. The internal threaded sleeve 23 is abutted against the surface of the external threaded rod 19 and the limiting block 22. Then, the internal threaded sleeve 23 is moved to the surface of the external threaded rod 19, and the internal threaded sleeve 23 is rotated to tighten it onto the surface of the external threaded rod 19, so that the inside of the internal threaded sleeve 23 abuts against the surface of the limiting block 22, at which point the maximum degree of fixation is achieved.

[0033] Working Principle: When using the plate and frame filter press 1, first connect each set of conveying pipes to the device. Insert the mounting rod 21 into the mounting slot 20, then move the inner threaded sleeve 23 to the surface of the outer threaded rod 19, and rotate the inner threaded sleeve 23 to tighten it onto the surface of the outer threaded rod 19, so that the inside of the inner threaded sleeve 23 abuts against the surface of the limiting block 22, achieving maximum fixation. This connects the entire device. Then, pour the silica sol semi-finished product into the plate and frame filter press 1. After the silica sol semi-finished product is filtered by the plate and frame filter press 1, there will be a lot of fine silica powder. Then, the slurry pump 3 transports the silica sol semi-finished product along with the silica powder through the first conveying pipe 2 and the second conveying pipe 4 into the quartz sand filter 5. The silica sol with high turbidity is filtered through a certain thickness of granular or non-granular quartz sand, effectively intercepting and removing suspended solids, colloidal particles and some heavy metals. Then, the silica sol semi-finished product is transported into the centrifuge. Inside the ion exchange resin filter 8, residual silica powder is removed a second time through filtration. After multiple filtrations, the first magnetic pump 10 transports the purified silica sol semi-finished product into the semi-finished product tank 12 for storage via the third conveying pipe 9 and the fourth conveying pipe 11. After a period of use, the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8 have accumulated a large amount of impurities, requiring backwashing with tap water. The tap water pipe 6 continuously supplies tap water to the quartz sand filter 5 and the ion exchange resin filter 8 to repeatedly rinse them. The filtered water is then transported into the wastewater tank 13 for storage via the three-phase pipe 7. Subsequently, the second magnetic pump 15 transports the filtered water into the reaction vessel 17 via the fifth conveying pipe 14 and the sixth conveying pipe 16 to neutralize and purify the filtered water for reuse, reducing water waste.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
