Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quartz sand extraction technology, and in particular to a composite hydrophilic modified quartz sand continuous extraction device. Background Technology
[0002] Composite hydrophilic modified quartz sand is a functional material that uses physical and chemical composite methods to modify the surface of high-purity quartz sand, introducing a large number of hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups onto its surface, while optimizing the surface microstructure, such as increasing roughness, and significantly improving hydrophilicity and adsorption performance. The continuous extraction device is an integrated equipment used to continuously and automatically complete the hydrophilic modification and subsequent purification of quartz sand. It mainly consists of a raw material pretreatment unit, a modification reaction unit, a separation and washing unit, a drying unit, and a control system, and is suitable for large-scale production.
[0003] The main process steps include:
[0004] Raw material pretreatment: Quartz sand is screened and crushed, and then fed into the reaction vessel by a screw conveyor;
[0005] Composite modification: First, plasma (300-500W power, 10-15min) is introduced to etch the surface, then 1-3% silane coupling agent aqueous solution is pumped in (80℃, stirring for 30min) to achieve physical and chemical composite modification;
[0006] Separation and washing: The modified quartz sand is centrifuged and filtered to separate the waste liquid, and then enters a multi-stage washing tank to be washed with deionized water until neutral (pH=6-7);
[0007] Drying finished product: The washed quartz sand enters the belt dryer, is dried and then packaged. The entire process is continuous, with an hourly capacity of 50-100 kg.
[0008] The separation process involves separating waste liquid from quartz sand. Traditional methods require each batch to undergo a cycle of shutdown, opening the lid, loading, closing the lid, starting up, separating, shutdown, opening the lid, and unloading. This forces interruptions to the preceding and following modification and washing processes, severely disrupting the automated production rhythm of the continuous extraction device and limiting overall capacity. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a composite hydrophilic modified quartz sand continuous extraction device to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] Example 1
[0044] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment is a continuous extraction device for composite hydrophilic modified quartz sand, comprising:
[0045] The separation structure 100 includes a centrifuge cylinder 110, a first ring seat 104 and a second ring seat 105 sleeved on the outer sides of the upper and lower ends of the centrifuge cylinder 110, two sets of rotating collars 114 sleeved on the outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder 110 and rotatably mounted on the outer walls of the first ring seat 104 and the second ring seat 105, a buffer cavity 113 located inside the centrifuge cylinder 110 and longitudinally equidistantly distributed, a through hole 118 opened on the outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder 110 and equidistantly distributed, a buffer plate 117 located inside the buffer cavity 113 with a conical main cross section and a gap between its outer side and the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 110, a gear ring 108 located at the upper end of the collar 114, a motor 102 located on one side of the centrifuge cylinder 110, and a gear 103 located at the upper end of the motor 102 and meshing with the gear ring 108.
[0046] The centrifuge cylinder 110 has a funnel 109 shaped like a funnel 109 at its upper end, a guide bucket 107 at its upper end, a central rod 120 at the center of the buffer plate 117, and a support rod 116 arranged in a ring array on the outer wall of the upper end of the central rod 120 and connected to the inner wall of the buffer cavity 113.
[0047] Both ends of the collar 114 are provided with annular grooves 119. The inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the first ring seat 104 and the second ring seat 105 are rotatably mounted with balls 115 that are rolled on the inner walls of the grooves 119. Fixed rods 106 arranged in annular array are provided between the first ring seat 104 and the second ring seat 105.
[0048] The centrifuge cylinder 110 has longitudinally equidistant diffusion chambers 111 connected to the upper end of the buffer chamber 113, with the inner diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom. The centrifuge cylinder 110 also has longitudinally equidistant guide chambers 112 connected to the upper end of the diffusion chamber 111 and the upper end of the buffer chamber 113, with the inner diameter gradually decreasing from top to bottom.
[0049] as well as;
[0050] The diversion structure 200 includes a vertical cylinder 201 sleeved on the outside of the centrifuge cylinder 110;
[0051] The outer wall of the vertical cylinder 201 is fitted with a support frame 101 that is connected to the ring seat 105. The upper end of the support frame 101 is provided with a ring-shaped receiving groove 202 that is fitted onto the outer side of the lower end of the vertical cylinder 201.
[0052] A drain pipe 203 is provided at one end of the receiving tank 202, and a flow guide hood 204, which is annular, has a conical main cross-section, and whose sides are located inside the flow guide channel and below the vertical cylinder 201, is sleeved on the lower outer wall of the centrifuge cylinder 110.
[0053] The separation structure 100 and the diversion structure 200 are used;
[0054] The centrifuge cylinder 110 adopts a vertical longitudinal layout. The motor 102 drives the gear 103 to mesh with the gear ring 108 at a transmission ratio of 1:5, which drives the centrifuge cylinder 110 to rotate at high speed and generate radial centrifugal force. The main cross section of the buffer plate 117 is conical with a cone angle of 120°. The central rod 120 is fixed to the inner wall of the buffer chamber 113 through the support rod 116, so that the buffer plate 117 and the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder 110 form a 10-15mm annular gap. The funnel 109 has an angle of 60°. After the mixture enters through the funnel 109, it first passes through the diffusion chamber 111, where the inner diameter increases by 1.5 times from top to bottom to spread and thin it. Then it enters the buffer chamber 113 and is received by the buffer plate 117. The conical surface guides and reduces the falling speed, extending the centrifugal separation time. The waste liquid is thrown out through the through hole 118 under the action of centrifugal force, while the quartz sand enters the guide chamber 112 through the gap, where the inner diameter decreases from top to bottom. After being gathered, it flows into the next-stage buffer chamber 113, realizing multiple cycle separation.
[0055] The multi-stage buffer design improves the waste liquid separation rate and reduces the collision force between quartz sand particles, preventing the surface hydrophilic groups from falling off due to impact. The gradual inner diameter design of the diffusion chamber 111 and the guide chamber 112 can prevent the mixture from accumulating and clogging in the cylinder, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted continuous feed rate. The centrifuge cylinder 110 is made of 316L stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion from modified weak acid waste liquid. The buffer plate 117 and the center rod 120 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has low surface friction, reduces quartz sand retention, and is heat resistant up to 200℃, making it suitable for the residual heat environment of the modified material. The support rod 116 is made of Hastelloy C-276, which ensures structural rigidity under high-speed rotation.
[0056] The grooves 119 at the upper and lower ends of the collar 114 are 5mm deep, forming rolling support with the 8mm diameter balls 115 on the inner wall of the first ring seat 104 and the second ring seat 105. This reduces the coefficient of friction when the centrifuge 110 rotates. The fixed rod 106 connects the first ring seat 104 and the second ring seat 105, and the overall radial runout is controlled within 0.1mm. This structure not only bears the weight of the centrifuge 110 but also ensures the stability of high-speed rotation, avoiding fluctuations in separation efficiency caused by vibration. Compared with traditional bearing support, the maintenance cycle of the ball 115 and groove 119 structure is extended, and wear can be further reduced by adding high-temperature grease. The collar 114 and the ring seat are made of 42CrMo alloy steel, and the balls 115 are made of GCr15 bearing steel, ensuring the reliability of long-term high-speed operation.
[0057] A vertical cylinder 201 is fitted onto the outside of the centrifuge cylinder 110, forming an annular waste liquid channel. Waste liquid, containing unreacted silane coupling agent, is ejected by centrifugal force and flows along the cylinder wall into a guide hood 204. The guide hood 204 has a cone angle of 150°, guiding the waste liquid into a receiving tank 202. The sides of the guide hood 204 extend into the guide tank, maintaining a 30mm gap with the guide bucket 107 (φ100mm diameter) at the lower end of the centrifuge cylinder 110, thus preventing waste liquid from entering the quartz sand discharge path. The waste liquid collected in the receiving tank 202 passes through a φ50mm... The drain pipe 203 of m transports the modifier to the recycling system, realizing the recycling of the modifier. The coordinated design of the vertical cylinder 201 and the diversion hood 204 separates the waste liquid and quartz sand, avoiding the waste liquid from entering the washing unit with the quartz sand and causing the waste of the agent. The agent recovery rate is improved. The vertical cylinder 201 and the diversion hood 204 are made of PPH material, which is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion and lightweight, reducing the weight compared to metal materials. The receiving tank 202 is lined with butyl rubber to prevent waste liquid leakage. The drain pipe 203 is made of UPVC material, which is suitable for the weakly acidic environment of the waste liquid.
[0058] Multiple sets of conical buffer plates 117 are spaced axially inside the centrifuge. Under centrifugal force, the waste liquid adhering to the surface of the quartz sand is thrown against the cylinder wall and flows along the wall into the bottom waste liquid collection tank, while the quartz sand falls through the gaps at the edges of the buffer plates 117. It then repeats the buffering, centrifugation, and falling process through the lower buffer plates 117, finally being continuously discharged from the bottom outlet and directly entering the multi-stage countercurrent washing tank. The rotation speed of the centrifuge cylinder 110 is adjusted in conjunction with the feed rate via a PLC system to ensure that the centrifugal force matches the processing capacity, the waste liquid separation rate is stable, and the downtime caused by intermittent operation is eliminated. This is consistent with the modified reaction unit. The washing and drying units form a seamless automated production line, increasing overall capacity and eliminating the need for frequent start-stop cycles. This improves the operating efficiency of motor 102. During frequent start-stop cycles, the centrifugal motor 102 needs to repeatedly accelerate from zero to its operating speed, with the starting current being 3-5 times the rated current. This results in significant energy loss during each start-stop cycle. This system reduces energy consumption. When opening and closing the equipment, dust and moisture from the outside air can easily enter the separation chamber and come into contact with the modified quartz sand, which is rich in hydrophilic groups, leading to secondary pollution. This system reduces the likelihood of contamination. Frequent manual material handling increases labor intensity, but this system reduces labor intensity and labor costs.
