Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of evaporation crystallization technology, specifically relating to a sodium chlorate evaporator crystallizer. Background Technology

[0002] The core of sodium chlorate production lies in the crystallization process. Sodium chlorate production involves electrolyzing refined brine to obtain an electrolyte solution (containing NaClO3, NaCl, and water), which then undergoes evaporation and crystallization to separate the solid product. The crystallization process directly affects product purity, crystal morphology, and energy efficiency, making it a key area for process optimization. Traditional high-temperature evaporation crystallization methods have been phased out due to their small scale and high energy consumption, while vacuum evaporation crystallization technology has become mainstream due to its energy-saving advantages. However, existing vacuum evaporation crystallization devices, such as the one with application number CN201420091260.X, named "Vacuum Low-Temperature Evaporation Crystallizer," lack a filtration system between the condenser and the shell. This causes crystals in the vapor to condense in the top condenser, requiring frequent cleaning, affecting processing efficiency, and easily damaging the condenser. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sodium chlorate evaporator crystallizer. By setting a filter assembly in the shell, the filter assembly is connected to the condenser through a pipeline. The condenser provides a flushing water source to the filter assembly. The crystals in the steam will adhere to the filter screen of the filter assembly. The filter assembly is flushed from the bottom through the spray nozzles, which can make the crystals and impurities fall off and clean the filter screen. At the same time, it can prevent the condenser from being adhered to by crystals and improve the service life of the condenser.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0021] Example 1: A sodium chlorate evaporator crystallizer, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a support frame 7, a filter assembly, a condenser 2, and a stirring mechanism 6. The support frame 7 is connected to the lower part of the housing 1 to fix the housing 1. The housing 1 has a cylindrical structure. The condenser 2 is located at the top of the housing 1 and communicates with the housing 1. The filter assembly is located inside the housing 1 and below the condenser 2. The condenser 2 is used to supply condensate to the filter assembly. A guide tube 5 is provided in the housing 1. The guide tube 5 has a conical structure and is fixed in the housing 1 by a fixing member 31. Both the upper and lower ends of the guide tube 5 are open structures, with a larger diameter at the top and a smaller diameter at the bottom. The stirring mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 61 and a fan blade 62. The drive motor 61 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, and the end of the fan blade 62 extends into the guide tube 5, with its bottom penetrating through... The housing 1 is connected to the drive motor 61, which drives the fan blades 62 to rotate in the guide tube 5. A feed pipe 13 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, communicating with the guide tube 5. Liquid is added to the guide tube 5 through the feed pipe 13. The liquid rotates and churns in the guide tube 5, overflowing from the top of the guide tube 5 into the housing 1, and then circulating back into the bottom of the guide tube 5. As the liquid evaporates, crystals are deposited at the bottom of the housing 1. A crystal collection port 15 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, hinged to a sealing door. After the liquid has evaporated, the sealing door can be opened to collect the deposited sodium chlorate crystals. A sampling port 16 is located opposite the crystal collection port 15, allowing for crystal sampling and analysis to determine if crystal collection is possible. An inspection port 11 is located above the filter assembly on the housing 1, allowing observation of the degree of crystal adhesion on the filter assembly to determine if rinsing is necessary. The shell 1 has three supernatant extraction ports 12 in the middle, through which the supernatant can be extracted for testing and analysis. The shell 1 also has a feeding pipe 14 in the middle, which is connected to the middle of the guide cylinder 5, allowing auxiliary materials to be added directly into the guide cylinder 5, so that the auxiliary materials can be quickly diffused in the liquid.

[0022] Example 2: This embodiment further defines the filtering component based on the above embodiments, such as... Figure 1As shown, the filter assembly includes an inlet pipe 4 and a filter screen 3. A fixing member 31 is provided inside the housing 1 at the position of the filter screen 3. The fixing member 31 has a circular structure and is welded or bolted to the inner wall of the housing 1. The filter screen 3 has a disc-shaped structure and is set on the fixing member 31. The fixing member 31 is used to support and fix the filter screen 3. The water inlet pipe 4 is positioned below and spaced apart from the filter screen 3. The water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the condenser 2 and has multiple spaced-apart spray nozzles 43 facing the filter screen 3. The water inlet pipe 4 includes a main pipe 41 and a spray pipe 42. The main pipe 41 is connected to the condenser 2 and extends into the housing 1. The spray pipe 42 is connected to the main pipe 41 and positioned above it. The spray nozzles 43 are positioned on the spray pipe 42, which has a cross-shaped structure. The spray nozzles 43 are arranged in an array on the spray pipe 42 to ensure that the spray range covers the entire filter screen 3, thereby thoroughly rinsing the crystals on the filter screen 3 and ensuring its cleanliness. Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.
