System and method for aluminum melting and black dross recycling

The present invention relates to an aluminum melting and black dross recycling system and method for performing an aluminum scrap melting process and a black dross recycling process.

Many aluminum parts used in automobiles, home appliances, and construction materials are manufactured using aluminum casting devices. It is an aluminum melting furnace that supplies aluminum molten metal to such an aluminum casting apparatus. The aluminum melting furnace is a device that melts aluminum scrap molded to a certain size with high heat.

Here, the aluminum compaction chip mass is also referred to as an aluminum mass, and is a compaction of a number of aluminum chips that are frequently generated during production or processing of aluminum products. By the way, the aluminum compressed chip mass contains a large number of voids in the process of compressing the aluminum chip. Therefore, in the conventional aluminum melting furnace, heat is not easily transmitted to the center of the aluminum compressed chip mass input to the aluminum molten metal, so that the melting efficiency decreases, and the aluminum compression chamber mass rises to the surface of the aluminum molten metal and is brought into contact with the atmosphere, thereby producing aluminum oxide. There was a problem.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a conventional aluminum melting furnace is pumped in a molten metal stirring chamber, and then the aluminum compressed chip mass is introduced into the aluminum molten metal transferred to the charging chamber, but in this case, aluminum is still used due to the low specific gravity of the aluminum compressed chip mass. Dissolution proceeds while the compressed chip mass is suspended in the aluminum melt. Therefore, the conventional aluminum melting furnace has a problem that the melting efficiency is low and the production rate of aluminum oxide is high, so that the real rate of pure aluminum is lowered.

On the other hand, aluminum is a strong oxidizing metal, so aluminum oxide is generated in the process of dissolving aluminum in an aluminum melt. When the amount of aluminum oxide generated increases, the recovery rate of aluminum decreases. In addition, in general, a paint or other inclusion is interposed in the aluminum mass that is introduced into the aluminum melt. When this inclusion increases, the purity of the aluminum decreases.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view schematically showing the aluminum melting furnace of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the aluminum melting furnace 2 includes a heating chamber 10 in which the aluminum molten metal M is heated, and a melting chamber in which aluminum scrap A and flux F are respectively introduced into the aluminum molten metal M. (20) and a flow force imparting chamber (20) that provides a flow force to the aluminum molten metal (M).

As shown in Fig. 2, the aluminum melting furnace 2 has a plurality of spaces partitioned by walls having a refractory material. The heating chamber 10, the melting chamber 20, and the fluid force imparting chamber 30 are respectively provided in a state independent of the other spaces in any one of a plurality of spaces of the aluminum melting furnace 2.

The heating chamber 10 is a space for heating the aluminum molten metal M to a predetermined temperature.

The heating chamber 10 communicates with the second flow passage 29 of the melting chamber 20 to be described later, and receives the aluminum molten metal M from the melting chamber 20. The heating chamber 10 is formed of a closed structure blocked from the outside, except for portions connected to the first flow passage 16 and the second flow passage 29, which will be described later, so that heat loss can be minimized.

As shown in FIG. 2, the heating chamber 10 includes a heating unit 12 for heating the aluminum molten metal M, and a hot water outlet for discharging the aluminum molten metal M to the outside of the aluminum melting furnace 2 ( 14) and a first flow passage 16 for transferring the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the heating chamber 10 to the flow force imparting chamber 30.

The heating unit 12 is a device for heating the aluminum molten metal M to a predetermined temperature.

As shown in FIG. 2, the heating unit 12 may be a burner installed on walls partitioning the heating chamber 10. The heating temperature of the aluminum molten metal M is not particularly limited. The temperature of the aluminum molten metal M may be measured by a temperature sensor (not shown) installed in the heating chamber 10, and the heating unit 12 receives the temperature of the aluminum molten metal M from the temperature sensor, and The molten metal M can be heated to a predetermined heating temperature.

The hot water outlet 14 is an outlet for discharging the aluminum molten metal M heated in the heating chamber 10 to the outside of the aluminum melting furnace 2.

The hot water outlet 14 may be connected to an aluminum casting apparatus for manufacturing an aluminum casting, or may be connected to a molten metal transport container for transferring the aluminum molten metal M.

2, the first flow passage 16 is formed through a wall partitioning the heating chamber 10 and the flow force imparting chamber 30, and the aluminum molten metal M has a first flow passage ( 16) is introduced into the flow force imparting chamber (30).

3 is a cross-sectional view of the dissolution chamber and the flow force imparting chamber shown in FIG. 2, and is a view showing an aspect in which spherical black dross is formed in the dissolution chamber of FIG. 2 shown in FIG. 4, and the dissolution of FIG. 2 shown in FIG. This is a picture of a spherical black dross formed in a thread.

The melting chamber 20 is a space for introducing the flux F and the aluminum scrap A into the molten aluminum M.

The melting chamber 20 communicates with the third flow passage 34 of the flow force imparting chamber 30 to be described later, and receives the aluminum molten metal M from the flow force imparting chamber 30. The melting chamber 20 is formed of an open structure in which at least a portion of the upper surface is opened so that the flux (F) and the aluminum scrap (A) can be introduced into the aluminum molten metal (M), and is relatively smaller than the heating chamber (10). It has a volume. That is, the melting chamber 20 is formed in an open structure so that the aluminum scrap (A) can be dissolved into the melting chamber 20 to perform a melting operation, and the heating chamber 10 is relatively reduced to reduce heat loss. It has a small volume.

2 and 3, the melting chamber 20, the vortex unit 21 to generate a vortex (V) orbiting and descending to the molten aluminum (M), and the flux (F) vortex (V) Flux supply unit (23) to be put in, raw material supply unit (25) to put aluminum scrap (A) into vortex (V), and aluminum molten metal (M) accommodated in melting chamber (20) in heating chamber (10) It includes a second flow passage 29 for delivery to the.

The vortex unit 21 is a member for forming a vortex V that pivots and descends on the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber 20.

The vortex unit 21 is installed in the melting chamber 20 such that at least a portion is immersed in the aluminum molten metal M. When the flow of the aluminum molten metal M flowing into the melting chamber 20 through the vortex V generated by the vortex unit 21 and the third flow passage 34 directly faces the aluminum molten metal M ) Flow may be hindered. In order to prevent this, as shown in Figure 2, the vortex unit 21 is preferably installed on one side of the melting chamber 20 so as not to be located in line with the third flow passage 34, but is limited to this It is not.

As shown in Figure 3, the vortex unit 21, a rotating shaft having a lower end immersed in the aluminum molten metal (M) and an upper end that extends to the outside of the aluminum molten metal (M) and axially coupled with a drive motor (not shown) ( 21a), and a stirring impeller 21b axially coupled to the lower end of the rotating shaft 21a. As shown in FIG. 3, when the driving motor is driven, the stirring impeller 21b rotates around the rotating shaft 21a in the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber 20 by rotating about the rotating shaft 21a. A descending vortex (V) is produced.

The flux supply unit 23 is a device for introducing the flux F supplied from an external flux source (not shown) into the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber 20.

The flux (F) is a mixed salt having a specific gravity smaller than that of aluminum, and is formed of a material having high affinity with inclusions. As shown in FIG. 3, the flux supply unit 23 injects this flux F into the vortex V generated by the vortex unit 21. Then, the flux (F) is rapidly immersed in the molten aluminum (M) by the vortex (V) to dissolve and then spread evenly over the melting chamber (20). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the flux supplying unit 23 may also input the flux F into a portion other than the vortex V.

The timing for introducing the flux F is not particularly limited. For example, in the flux supply unit 23, the flux F may be pre-injected into the vortex V before the raw material supply unit 25 injects the aluminum scrap A into the vortex V. Then, the flux F is immersed and dissolved in the molten aluminum M while turning and descending by the vortex V. However, since the flux (F) has a smaller specific gravity than aluminum, the flux (F) dissolved in the aluminum molten metal (M) rises to the surface of the aluminum molten metal (M), and the molten flux layer on the surface of the aluminum molten metal (M), That is, a salt bath layer is formed. The molten flux layer can prevent the aluminum melt (M) and the aluminum script (A) introduced into the aluminum melt (M) from contacting oxygen in the atmosphere, thereby reducing the amount of aluminum oxide.

The flux (F) has a composition capable of selectively trapping inclusions and forming a molten flux layer. Preferably, the flux (F) may include 93-97 parts by weight of a mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) in equal parts by weight, and 3-7 parts by weight of cryolite (Cryolite, Potassium Cryolite). More preferably, the flux (F) may include ₄ parts by weight of sodium chloride (NaCl), 47.5 parts by weight of potassium chloride (KCl) and 5 parts by weight of potassium aluminum fluoride (KAlF ₄ ).

On the other hand, when the input of the aluminum scrap (A) is started by the raw material supply unit 25 to be described later, the flux supply unit 23 simultaneously or simultaneously with the raw material supply unit 25 or at this time the flux (F) vortex (V) Can be put in. That is, even after the introduction of the aluminum scrap (A), the flux (F) is continuously or intermittently supplied in accordance with the supply trend of the aluminum scrap (A).

The flux (F) is preferably supplied in the same amount as the amount of inclusions to be captured using this, but is not limited thereto. Therefore, the supply amount of the flux F can be adjusted according to the supply amount of the aluminum scrap A and the type of the aluminum scrap A. That is, when the aluminum scrap A containing the paint or other large amount of inclusions is supplied, the supply amount of the flux F is increased, and when the high-purity aluminum scrap A is supplied, the supply amount of the flux F is supplied. Can be reduced.

The raw material supply unit 25 is a device for introducing the aluminum scrap A supplied from an external raw material supply source (not shown) into the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber 20.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the raw material supply unit 25 injects aluminum scrap A into the vortex V generated by the vortex unit 21. Then, the aluminum scrap (A) can be rapidly immersed and dissolved in the aluminum molten metal (M) while turning and descending by the vortex (V), so that the contact between the aluminum scrap (A) immersed in the aluminum molten metal (M) and the atmosphere is more By effectively blocking, the amount of aluminum oxide generated can be further reduced.

The injection timing of the aluminum scrap (A) is not particularly limited. For example, the raw material supply unit 25 may start to input the aluminum scrap A after the molten flux layer is formed on the surface of the aluminum molten metal M. Then, the aluminum scrap (A) may be immersed in the aluminum molten metal (M) with a molten flux layer formed on the surface of the molten aluminum (M). For this reason, since the contact between the aluminum scrap A immersed in the aluminum molten metal M and the atmosphere is more effectively blocked, the generation amount of aluminum oxide can be further reduced.

When the diameter of the aluminum scrap (A) is large, there is a problem that the heat transfer rate is lowered. Therefore, it is preferable that the aluminum scrap (A) has a diameter of 5 cm or less. The type of the aluminum scrap (A) is not particularly limited. For example, the aluminum scrap (A) may be aluminum waste can scrap (UBCs, A 3XXX series, A 5XXXX series) mainly containing aluminum, magnesium, and aluminum alloy. Table 1 shows the chemical composition of the aluminum waste can scrap.

part Al alloy
line Chemical composition (%) Si Fe Cu Mn Zn Mg Body A 3004 <0.3 <0.70 <0.25 1.0-1.5 <0.25 0.8-1.3 Lid A 5052 <0.25 <0.40 <0.10 <0.10 <0.10 2.2-2.8 Tab A 5182 <0.2 <0.35 <0.15 0.2-0.5 <0.25 4.0-5.0

On the other hand, inclusions (介在物, Inclusions) of the aluminum scrap (A), when the aluminum scrap (A) is charged and dissolved in the molten aluminum (M), has a property of agglomeration with molten aluminum. However, the flux layer for the flux, that is, the flux (F), weakens the cohesive force of the inclusions and molten aluminum to dissociate the inclusions and molten aluminum, and selectively captures the molten aluminum and the dissociated inclusions to form black dross (B ₁ ). do. The black dross (B ₁ ), the volume is increased in the above-described formation process, has a specific gravity lower than that of molten aluminum, and thereby rises to the surface of the molten aluminum (M).

In addition, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the black dross (B ₁ ), the vortex (V) is lowered by turning, and when it reaches the lower end of the vortex (V) is released from the vortex (V), and then After rising to the surface of the aluminum molten metal (M), it is again joined to the vortex (V) by the suction force of the vortex (V). Therefore, the black dross (B ₁ ) is combined with other black dross (B ₁ ) produced on the surface of the aluminum molten metal (M) through this process. As illustrated in FIG. 5, when this process is repeated, a spherical black dross B ₂ in which a plurality of black drosses B ₁ are aggregated into a spherical shape is formed. That is, the vortex unit 21 repeatedly descends and floats the black dross (B ₁ ) through the vortex (V), so that a plurality of black dross (B ₁ ) are spherically shaped black dross (B) ₂ ). The chemical composition of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is not particularly limited. For example, as described above, aluminum scrap (A) is aluminum waste can scrap (UBCs scrap) and flux (F) is 47.5 parts by weight of sodium chloride (NaCl), 47.5 parts by weight of potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium aluminum fluoride ( KAlF ₄ ) When it contains 5 parts by weight. The chemical composition of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is shown in Table 2.

Composition chemicals Chemical composition (%) Al 5-10 Al ₂ O ₃ 25-35 Mg 5-10 MgO 5-10 NaCl 20-30 KCl 20-30

Spherical black dross (B ₂ ), because the black dross (B ₁ ) is gradually formed while repeatedly descending and floating the aluminum molten metal (M), the general black dross formed once without such a descent and injury process Compared to this, the inclusion removal performance is excellent. For this reason, when forming a spherical black dross (B ₂ ), the aluminum content in the dross can be reduced compared to the case of forming a normal black dross. That is, a general black dross, for example, a conventional black dross formed by fluxing a white dross in a conventional aluminum can dissolution process has an aluminum content of about 50% or more, while a spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is about It has an aluminum content of 10% or less. Therefore, by forming the spherical black dross (B ₂ ), the recovery rate of dissolution of pure aluminum can be improved. In addition, by forming the spherical black block dross (B2), the dross reprocessing process to recover the aluminum trapped in the dross by reprocessing the dross using the exothermic flux and the reprocessing indenter can be omitted, so such dross The cost of reprocessing can be reduced.

The second flow passage 29 is a passage for transferring the aluminum molten metal M in which the aluminum scrap A is dissolved to the heating chamber 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second flow passage 29 is formed through a wall partitioning the melting chamber 20 and the heating chamber 10, and the aluminum molten metal M is the second flow passage 29. It flows into the heating chamber 10 through.

Next, the flow force imparting chamber 30 is a space for applying a flow force to the aluminum molten metal M so that the aluminum molten metal M can circulate between the heating chamber 10 and the melting chamber 20.

The flow force imparting chamber 30 communicates with the first flow passage 16 of the heating chamber 10 and receives the aluminum molten metal M from the heating chamber 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the flow force imparting chamber 30 is preferably installed between the first flow passage 16 and the melting chamber 20 of the heating chamber 10. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the flow force imparting chamber 30 may be installed between the second flow passage 29 and the heating chamber 10 of the melting chamber 20.

2 and 3, the fluid force imparting chamber 30 accelerates the aluminum molten metal M, and the acceleration unit 32 that provides the fluid force to the aluminum molten metal M, and the fluid force is applied It includes a third flow passage 34 for transferring the molten aluminum (M) to the melting chamber (20).

The acceleration unit 32 is installed in the flow force imparting chamber 30 so that at least a part is immersed in the aluminum molten metal M. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the acceleration unit 32 receives the driving force from a driving motor (undocing) provided outside the fluid force imparting chamber 30, to the fluid force imparting chamber 30. It may be a molten metal pump capable of circulating the accommodated aluminum molten metal (M).

The third flow passage 34 is a passage for transferring the aluminum molten metal M to which the flow force is applied by the acceleration unit 32 to the flow force applying chamber 30.

2 and 3, the third flow passage 34 penetrates through the lower portion of the wall partitioning the flow force imparting chamber 30 and the melting chamber 20 so as to face the impeller of the acceleration unit 32. Is formed, the aluminum molten metal (M) flows into the melting chamber 20 through the third flow passage 34.

On the other hand, in the present specification, it has been described that the flow force imparting chamber 30 provided with the acceleration unit 32 between the heating chamber 10 and the melting chamber 20 is not limited thereto. That is, the vortex unit 20 of the melting chamber 20 forms a vortex (V) to raise and lower the aluminum molten metal (M), and at the same time, the flow force for circulating the aluminum melting furnace (2) to the aluminum molten metal (M). Since it can be applied, the flow force imparting chamber 30 and the acceleration unit 32 provided therein can be omitted.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of a melting chamber showing a state in which spherical black dross is suspended on the surface of the aluminum molten metal accommodated in the melting chamber of FIG. 2.

When a large number of spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is concentrated in the vortex (V), the descending and floating action of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) by the vortex (V) is weakened, and the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) There is a fear that the formation efficiency of. Therefore, it is preferable to adjust the density of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) located in the vortex (V) to an appropriate level by separating the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) grown by a predetermined reference diameter from the vortex (V).

The reference diameter of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is not particularly limited. For example, aluminum scrap (A) is aluminum waste can scrap (UBCs scrap) and flux (F) is 47.5 parts by weight of sodium chloride (NaCl), 47.5 parts by weight of potassium chloride (KCl) and 5 parts by weight of potassium aluminum fluoride (KAlF ₄ ) In the case of containing a part, the reference diameter of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is 2 cm to 5 cm.

In order to detach the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) grown by the reference diameter from the vortex (V), the dissolution chamber 20 separates the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) from the vortex (V). 27) may be further included.

As shown in FIG. 3, the separating unit 27 has a shape capable of pulling the spherical black dross B ₂ floating on the surface of the aluminum molten metal M away from the vortex V. 27a and a connecting rod 27b connecting the driving device (not shown) and the separation plate 27a. Here, the driving device is preferably a work vehicle provided outside the melting chamber 20, but is not limited thereto.

As the separation unit 27 is provided in this way, the spherical black dross B ₂ having a predetermined reference diameter is pulled away from the vortex V using the separation plate 27a to be separated from the vortex V. Can be. Thus, a spherical black dross (B ₂₎ can be prevented from dropping because of the formation efficiency of the dense doemeuro spherical black dross (B _2). Here, the separation unit 27 may also perform the function of discharging the spherical black dross B ₂ from the aluminum molten metal M and discharging it to the outside.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, when the spherical black dross B ₂ is pulled away from the vortex V using the separation unit 27, the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber 20 ) Is covered with a spherical black dross (B ₂ ) deviating from the vortex (V). Therefore, the aluminum molten metal (M) accommodated in the melting chamber 20 is blocked from the atmosphere by the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) covering it, and the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is the aluminum molten metal accommodated in the melting chamber (20). It has a warming effect on (M). Therefore, being a heat loss of the aluminum molten metal (M) minimized by the rectangular black dross (B _2), the molten aluminum compared with the case the aluminum molten metal (M) is not covered by the spherical black dross (B ₂₎ (M ) Temperature rises.

In the conventional aluminum melting furnace, the temperature of the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber is generally about 700° C. or less, but in the aluminum melting furnace 2, the temperature of the aluminum molten metal M accommodated in the melting chamber 20 is about 730° C. or more. Can be elevated. For this reason, the aluminum melting furnace 2 can further improve the melting efficiency of the aluminum scrap A compared to the conventional aluminum melting furnace.

7 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the black dross recycling apparatus of FIG. 1.

When the aluminum scrap (A) is melted using the above-described aluminum melting furnace 2, a spherical black dross B _{2 in which} black dross B ₁ is aggregated into a spherical shape is formed. Although the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is relatively low compared to the normal black dross, it contains not only a certain proportion of aluminum, but also a certain proportion of materials of economic value such as aluminum oxide and flux (F). . Therefore, when such a spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is disposed of through a method such as landfill without reprocessing, materials contained in the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) cannot be recycled, and economical efficiency is reduced. There is a possibility that environmental pollution is caused by the spherical black dross (B ₂ ).

Among the aluminum particles and the aluminum alloy particles included in the spherical black dross (B ₂ ), aluminum particles and aluminum alloy particles having a relatively large particle size are aggregated due to heat generated when crushing the spherical black dross (B ₂ ). It becomes an aluminum granule (Aluminum Granule) and an aluminum alloy granule (Aluminum Alloy Granule). Further, among the aluminum particles and the aluminum alloy particles included in the spherical black dross (B ₂ ), aluminum particles and aluminum alloy particles having a relatively small particle size become aluminum powder and aluminum alloy powder without being aggregated. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the aluminum grains N and the aluminum alloy grains will be collectively referred to as aluminum grains N.

The first separating member 42 is a member for separating the aluminum grains N and the dross powder P ₁ among the crushed products of the spherical black dross B ₂ .

The structure of the first separating member 42 is not particularly limited. For example, the first separating member 42 may be configured as a vibrating screen having a predetermined first reference particle size. The first reference particle size is preferably about 10 mm, but is not limited thereto.

After the first separation member 42 separates the aluminum particles N and the dross powder P ₁ , the aluminum particles N are transferred to the aluminum storage unit 80 and also the dross powder P ₁ ) Is transferred to the grinder 43.

The pulverizer 43 is a _device for pulverizing dross powder P ₁ and dividing it into aluminum granules N and dross particulate powder P ₂ .

Among the materials contained in the dross powder (P ₁ ), insoluble solids (I), such as aluminum oxide and magnesium oxide, are preferably atomized to facilitate recycling. Therefore, the pulverizer 43 for pulverizing the dross powder P ₁ is provided.

However, while crushing the dross powder (P ₁ ) using the grinder 43, some aluminum particles contained in the dross powder (P ₁ ) are aggregated to generate aluminum particles (N). Therefore, the pulverizer 43 is pulverized dross powder P ₁ received from the first separating member 42 and is divided into aluminum particles N and pulverized into fine-grained dross particulate powder P ₂ .

The second separating member 44 is a member for separating the aluminum granules N and the dross particulate powder P _{2 from} the pulverized product of the dross powder P ₁ .

The structure of the second separating member 44 is not particularly limited. For example, the second separation member 44 may be configured as a Trommel Screen having a predetermined second reference particle size. The second reference particle size is preferably 0.5 mm, but is not limited thereto.

The second separating member 44, after separating the aluminum granules (N) and dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) received from the grinder 43, the aluminum granules (N) is transferred to the aluminum granule storage unit 80 And also the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) is delivered to the water decomposition unit 50.

8 is a photograph of dross particulate powder.

Next, the water decomposition unit 50 is a device for decomposing water of the dross particulate powder P ₂ received from the second separation member 44.

As shown in FIG. 8, the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) is a dark gray powder, including substances having various physicochemical properties such as flux (F), aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloy, magnesium, and oxide. It has a form.

Since this dross particulate powder (P ₂₎ preferably the conversion and decomposition in order to recycle the materials to facilitate the recycling of the materials contained in the dross fine powder (P ₂₎ contained in the To this dross fine powder (P ₂ ) Is a water decomposition unit 50 capable of decomposing water.

Reactor 52, the fine particles by stirring the dross powder (P ₂₎ and water, dross is a device for decomposing a particulate powder (P ₂₎ water.

The reactor 52 may be configured as a general reactor capable of stirring substances in a gas, liquid, or solid phase. The reactor 52 is stirred in the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) and water mixed at a predetermined mixing ratio to decompose the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) into water. The mixing ratio of the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) and water is preferably 1:2, but is not limited thereto.

Hereinafter, the physicochemical phenomenon that occurs when the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) is stirred with water will be described by dividing the properties of the substances contained in the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) by properties.

First, among the substances contained in the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ), the soluble solid component (S) having solubility in water is soluble in water, and thus contains the soluble solid component (S) as a solute and also water An aqueous solution (Q) containing as is produced. The soluble solid content (S) mainly includes chloride salts contained in flux (F), such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl). When the mixing ratio of the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) and water is 1:1, the concentration of the chloride salt in the aqueous solution (Q) is about 20%.

Next, among the substances contained in the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ), an insoluble solid (I) having an insolubility that does not dissolve in water is dispersed or precipitated in an aqueous solution (Q). The insoluble solid content (I) mainly includes aluminum, aluminum-magnesium alloy, magnesium, aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O ₃ ), magnesium oxide (MgO), and spinel oxide (MgAl ₂ O ₄ ).

Next, among the substances contained in the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ), a hydrolysis reaction product having a property of hydrolyzing with water is hydrolyzed by water. The hydrolysis reaction generates water decomposition solids and hydrolysis gas (G), and consequently, heat of reaction is generated. The hydrolysis reaction product mainly includes metals and metal compounds contained in spherical black dross (B ₂ ) such as aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), and aluminum carbide (Al ₄ C ₃ ). Here, aluminum carbide (Al ₄ C ₃ ) is not the first material of the aluminum waste cans, and is a by-product produced in the process of manufacturing the aluminum waste can scrap by processing the aluminum waste cans.

Looking at the hydrolysis reaction of the hydrolysis reaction product and water, as shown in Reaction Schemes 1 to 3, aluminum oxide and hydrogen are generated as the aluminum and water are hydrolyzed, and magnesium oxide and hydrogen as the magnesium and water are hydrolyzed. Is produced, and aluminum oxide and methane are generated as the aluminum carbide and water are hydrolyzed. In particular, when the aluminum or aluminum alloy is in contact with water, the hydrolysis reaction occurs violently and the temperature of the water rises to about 90° C. or higher, so the above-described hydrolysis reaction can be further promoted by this temperature increase.

<Scheme 1>

2Al + 3H ₂ O → Al ₂ O ₃ + 3H ₂ + Heat

<Reaction Scheme 2>

Mg + H ₂ O → MgO + H ₂ + Heat

<Scheme 3>

Al ₄ C ₃ + 6H ₂ O → 2Al ₂ O ₃ + 3CH ₄ + Heat

The water-decomposed solid content produced by the hydrolysis reaction described above mainly contains insoluble solid content such as aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide alloy, and carbon components, and thus is dispersed or precipitated in an aqueous solution (Q). Therefore, the insoluble solid content (I) already contained in the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) and the insoluble solid content generated by the water decomposition reaction are dispersed or precipitated in the aqueous solution Q, respectively. For convenience of description, hereinafter, the insoluble solid content (I) already included in the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) and the insoluble solid content generated by the water decomposition reaction will be collectively referred to as an insoluble solid content (I). .

Meanwhile, in addition to the above-described aluminum, magnesium, and aluminum carbide, a small amount of hydrolysis reactants contained in the dross particulate powder (P ₂ ) is hydrolyzed, thereby generating various hydrolysis gases (G). The composition ratio of the hydrolysis gas (G) is shown in Table 3 below.

division Gas composition (%) Hydrogen methane ethane Ethen Propane Propene Hydrogen sulfide Initial capture
(much) 48.14 51.55 0.020 0.009 0.009 0.012 0.0047 Terminal capture
(handful) 92.13 7.58 0.003 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.0020

As shown in Table 3, the hydrolysis gas (G) mainly includes methane gas (CH ₄ ) and hydrogen gas (H ₂ ). The methane gas and the hydrogen gas account for about 99% of the generated amount of the hydrolysis gas (G). In the early stage of the water decomposition process, the water decomposition reaction of aluminum, aluminum alloy, and aluminum carbide mainly proceeds, and hydrogen gas and methane gas are mainly generated. At the end of the water decomposition process, a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the water decomposition process, the water decomposition reaction of aluminum and aluminum alloy mainly proceeds, and hydrogen gas is mainly generated. The component analysis of the hydrolysis gas (G) is preferably carried out using the GC (Gas Chromatography) analysis method of ASTM D1945-03, but is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the method for measuring the amount of hydrolysis gas (G) generated is not particularly limited. For example, the generation amount of hydrolysis gas (G) can be measured by the following method. First, spherical black dross (B ₂ ) having a diameter of 2 cm to 5 cm is crushed and ground. Next, a 0.5 cm (500 μm) passage in the pulverized product of the spherical black dross (B ₂ ) is obtained as a reaction sample. Thereafter, 100 g of the reaction sample and 1 L of distilled water are introduced into a sealed glass-made flask having a 2 L capacity. Next, the reaction sample and distilled water are stirred at 100 rpm to 200 rpm using a reactor installed in a glass flask to decompose the reaction sample by water. Subsequently, the hydrolysis gas (G) generated by water decomposition of the reaction sample is collected by distillation of water from distilled water using a graduated cylinder. Water decomposition of 100 g of the reaction sample through such a test process can capture 8L to 12L of hydrolysis gas (G).

The gas collector 54 is a device for collecting the hydrolysis gas G generated in the reactor 52.

The structure of the gas collector 54 is not particularly limited, and the gas collector 54 may be configured as a general gas collector capable of collecting gas from an aqueous solution. The gas collector 54 collects the hydrolysis gas G from the aqueous solution Q accommodated in the reactor 52 and delivers it to the gas storage unit 100.

As shown in FIG. 7, the gas collector 54 can increase the purity of the gas that is actually recyclable among the gases contained in the hydrolysis gas G, or separate a specific gas suitable for the purpose of recycling from other gases. Thus, a gas separation purifier 54a capable of separating and purifying gases contained in the hydrolysis gas G may be provided. The method for separating and purifying the gas separation purifier 54a is not particularly limited. For example, the gas separation purifier 54a may separate and purify the gas contained in the hydrolysis gas G through a pressure swing adsorption method. In addition, the gas separation purifier 54a may convert methane gas purified from the hydrolysis gas G through hydrogen methane reforming to convert it to hydrogen gas.

On the other hand, since the hydrolysis gas (G) is generated by violent hydrolysis reaction, it may contain a trace amount of moisture. To solve this, the gas collector 54 may further include at least one of a moisture trap 54b, a moisture eliminator (not shown) and a desulfurizer (not shown). As shown in FIG. 7, such a water trap 54b, a water remover, and a desulfurizer are preferably installed upstream of the gas separation purifier 54a, but are not limited thereto.

The first centrifugal separator 56 is a device for centrifuging an aqueous solution (Q) and an insoluble solid content (I).

The first centrifuge 56 is preferably composed of a B.S.P centrifuge, but is not limited thereto. The first centrifugal separator 56 may include a first filter having a predetermined third reference particle size to separate the aqueous solution (Q) and insoluble solids (I). The first filter is a nonwoven filter, and the third reference particle size is preferably 7 μm to 15 μm, but is not limited thereto.

The first centrifugal separator 56, after centrifuging the aqueous solution (Q) and the insoluble solid content (I) using a first filter, the aqueous solution (Q) is transferred to the precipitation unit 60 and the insoluble solid content (I) is Transfer to the insoluble solids storage unit 90.

On the other hand, the insoluble solid content (I) and the aqueous solution (Q) are separated by the first centrifugal separator 56, but some of the aqueous solution (Q) is not separated and can be adsorbed on the surface of the insoluble solid content (I). However, since the aqueous solution (Q) contains soluble solids (S), there is a fear that the products prepared by recycling the insoluble solids (I) will be corroded by chlorides contained in the soluble solids (S). In addition, when drying or firing the insoluble solid (I), sodium oxide (Na ₂ O) and potassium oxide (K ₂ 0) are generated from chlorides contained in the soluble solid (S). There is a concern that the durability of a product manufactured by recycling insoluble solids (I) by potassium may be deteriorated.

To prevent this, the first centrifugal separator 56 washes the insoluble solid (I) adsorbed with the aqueous solution (Q) using distilled water so that the chlorine concentration of the insoluble solid (I) is less than or equal to a predetermined reference chlorine concentration, and then insoluble The distilled water used for washing solid (I) and insoluble solid (I) can be centrifuged. The washing process of the insoluble solid content (I) using such distilled water may be repeatedly performed until the chlorine concentration of the insoluble solid content (I) becomes below the reference chlorine concentration. The reference chlorine concentration is preferably 300 ppm, but is not limited thereto. Here, the first centrifugal separator 56, it is preferable to wash the insoluble solid (I) by using the condensate (D) transferred from the condensate storage tank 660 of the precipitation unit 60 to be described later as distilled water, It is not limited.

9 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the configuration of the precipitation unit of FIG. 7, and FIG. 10 is a solubility graph of an aqueous chloride salt solution.

Next, the precipitation unit 60 is a device for concentrating the aqueous solution Q so that the soluble solid content S is precipitated from the aqueous solution Q.

As shown in FIG. 9, the precipitation unit 60 includes a raw water supply pump 610 for pumping and supplying an aqueous solution Q delivered from the first centrifugal separator 56 of the water decomposition unit 50, and raw water Evaporated water contained in the aqueous solution (Q) so that the aqueous solution (Q) supplied from the feed pump (610) is concentrated to precipitate soluble solids (S) from the aqueous solution (Q), respectively, but contained in the aqueous solution under different environmental conditions A plurality of evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) and evaporation modules (620, 630,) for inducing evaporation of water to precipitate sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) according to different deposition order and precipitation timing, respectively A condenser 650 for condensing steam generated in at least one of 640, a condensate storage tank 660 in which condensate D generated in the evaporation modules 620, 630, 640 or condenser 650 is stored, A pressure regulating member 670 for selectively applying vacuum pressure to at least one of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640, and a precipitate storage tank in which soluble solids precipitate S _{1 from} which soluble solids S are deposited is stored. (680) and a second centrifugal separator 690 for centrifuging the soluble solid precipitate (S ₁ ) and the aqueous solution (Q).

The precipitation unit 60 includes a plurality of evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640, which are respectively provided so that chloride salts contained in the soluble solid component S can be precipitated according to different precipitation orders and precipitation times. The number of evaporation modules installed is not particularly limited. For convenience of description, hereinafter, the first to third evaporation modules 620 and 630 allow the chloride salts contained in the soluble solids (S) to be precipitated according to three different precipitation methods and precipitation times, respectively. , 640) The precipitation unit 60 will be described as an example in which a total of three evaporation modules are installed.

The raw water supply pump 610 pumps an aqueous solution Q delivered in a separated state from the insoluble solids I from the first centrifugal separator 56, thereby at least one of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640. It is provided to supply to the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640). For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the raw water supply pump 610 is supplied to the third evaporation module 640 located in the last step of the energy transfer step, which will be described later, among the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640. Can be prepared. To this end, the suction portion of the raw water supply pump 610 may be connected to the first centrifugal separator 56 through the flow path 611a, and the discharge portion of the raw water supply pump 610 may be connected to the first evaporation module through the flow path 644a ( 620).

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 9, a part of the aqueous solution Q supplied to the third evaporation module 640 by the raw water supply pump 610 is connected to the third evaporation module 640 and the second evaporation module 630 ), and a part of the aqueous solution Q delivered to the second evaporation module 630 may be delivered to the first evaporation module 620 connected to the second evaporation module 630. That is, the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 are interconnected to receive the aqueous solution Q along the opposite direction of the energy transfer direction. In this case, to each of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640, the aqueous solution Q is supplied to a predetermined water level before the precipitation operation of the soluble solids S through heating of the aqueous solution Q begins. Preferably, but not limited to.

Each of these evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 may be provided to be directly connected to the raw water supply pump 610. In this case, the aqueous solution supplied from the raw water supply pump 610 can be directly charged to each evaporation module 620, 630, 640 without going through other evaporation modules 620, 630, 640. For convenience of explanation, the evaporation modules 620, 630 such that the aqueous solution Q supplied from the raw water supply pump 610 is sequentially delivered to the evaporation modules 620, 630, 640 in a direction opposite to the energy transfer direction. , 640) The precipitation unit 60 will be described on the basis of the interconnection.

The evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 are arranged step by step, one for each step of a predetermined energy transfer step. For example, when the energy transfer step is composed of a total of three steps, a first evaporation module 620 may be disposed in the first step, and a second evaporation module 630 may be disposed in the second step. In a third step, a third evaporation module 640 may be disposed.

Aqueous solution temperature In aqueous solution (Q)
Solubility (%) Solubility in aqueous single chloride salt solution (%) NaCl KCl NaCl KCl 100℃ 28 35 38 57 75℃ 29 28 38 50 50℃ 30 22 35 42

10 and Table 4, the solubility of sodium chloride and the solubility of potassium chloride in an aqueous solution (Q) in which the soluble solids (S) are dissolved are, respectively, the solubility of sodium chloride and only potassium chloride in a single chloride salt aqueous solution in which only sodium chloride is dissolved. Solubility of potassium chloride in aqueous single chloride salt solution is relatively low. Such solubility changes, sodium and chlorine ions (Cl ^-) that potassium chloride is common to solution single chloride salt is respectively above the solubility of the solubility and the potassium chloride of the sodium chloride in the common ion because of the effect, an aqueous solution (Q), which is caused by It is due to the decrease compared to the field.

10 and Table 4, the solubility of sodium chloride in the aqueous solution (Q) gradually increases as the temperature of the aqueous solution (Q) decreases, and the solubility of potassium chloride in the aqueous solution (Q) of the aqueous solution (Q) The temperature increases gradually. Therefore, as the temperature of the aqueous solution Q increases, sodium chloride preferentially precipitates compared to potassium chloride, and as the temperature of the aqueous solution Q decreases, potassium chloride precipitates preferentially compared to sodium chloride.

In general, the precipitation process of chloride salt is concentrated in a single evaporation module, using high temperature steam (hereinafter referred to as'primary vapor') of about 100° C. or higher supplied from an external steam source as a heat source for heating the aqueous solution. To proceed. In such a single evaporation module, when the precipitation process of a soluble solid content is performed on an aqueous solution heated to a high temperature of about 100° C. or higher by using the original steam as a heat source, sodium chloride is preferentially precipitated, and then potassium chloride is subsequently precipitated. Due to this, a significant amount of water contained in the aqueous solution is evaporated, and the potassium chloride starts to precipitate as a ratio only after the concentration of the chloride salt in the aqueous solution is raised to a high concentration. Then, the sodium chloride precipitate, which is mixed with the aqueous solution and has a viscous slurry, strongly adheres to the inner surface of the evaporation module and adheres, or interferes with the precipitation of potassium chloride. Therefore, according to the conventional chloride salt precipitation process using a single evaporation module, there is a problem that it is difficult to smoothly recover potassium chloride having a high added value compared to sodium chloride through precipitation.

However, the precipitation unit 60 is provided with a plurality of evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) having different environmental conditions from each other. Here, as the environmental conditions, the evaporation temperature of the aqueous solution (Q), the internal pressure of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640), the solubility of each of the chloride salts in the aqueous solution (Q), such as the precipitation of soluble solids (S) Refers to conditions related to regulation.

According to the precipitation unit 60, the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) through the adjustment of the environmental conditions of each, the order of precipitation, precipitation time, other evaporation modules of sodium chloride and potassium chloride, each evaporation module (620, 630) , 640).

For example, any one of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 may determine the environmental conditions of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 such that sodium chloride preferentially precipitates from a point earlier than potassium chloride.

For example, the other of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 may determine the environmental conditions of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 such that sodium chloride and potassium chloride precipitate together from about the same time point.

For example, another of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 may determine the environmental conditions of the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 such that potassium chloride is preferentially precipitated from a point earlier than sodium chloride.

Since the precipitation unit 60 can smoothly recover potassium chloride having high added value through a preferential precipitation process of potassium chloride, it is possible to minimize the amount of potassium chloride that is discarded without being recovered from the aqueous solution (Q). The time required for the process can be reduced.

On the other hand, when heating the aqueous solution (Q) using the original steam (E), when the water contained in the aqueous solution (Q) evaporates and releases the steam (hereinafter referred to as'generated steam') to the atmosphere, the generated steam The energy efficiency of the precipitation process is reduced due to the significant heat loss in the waste heat. To solve this, the evaporation modules 620, 630, 640 generate steam (E ₁ , E ₂ , E ₃ ) generated by the evaporation modules 620, 630, 640 located in a specific step of a predetermined energy transfer step. It is preferable that the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) located at a later stage of a predetermined energy transfer stage are used as a heat source for heating the aqueous solution (Q) compared to the specific stage.

For example, the first evaporation module 620 in which the precipitation process is performed in an atmosphere in which the aqueous solution Q has the highest temperature may be provided to use the original vapor E as a heat source. For example, the second evaporation module 630 in which the precipitation process is performed under a lower temperature atmosphere than the first evaporation module 620 can use the generated steam E ₁ generated in the first evaporation module 620 as a heat source Can be provided. For example, the third evaporation module 640 in which the precipitation process is performed under a lower temperature atmosphere than the second evaporation module 630 can use the generated steam E ₂ generated in the second evaporation module 630 as a heat source Can be provided. Through this, the precipitation unit 60 can minimize the waste heat of the generated steam (E ₁ , E ₂ ) emitted to the outside without being recovered, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the precipitation process.

Hereinafter, based on the case where the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 are provided to enable the precipitation process of the soluble solid content (S) according to the above-described aqueous solution (Q) and energy delivery method, The structure will be described.

The structure of the evaporation modules 620, 630, 640 is not particularly limited.

Each of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640), after heating the aqueous solution (Q) to a predetermined reference temperature, the evaporation of water under a pressure atmosphere controlled so that the evaporation temperature of the water contained in the aqueous solution (Q) becomes the reference temperature Induction, it is provided to precipitate the soluble solid (S). Here, the reference temperature may be individually determined for each of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) according to the precipitation order and precipitation time of sodium chloride and potassium chloride to be implemented using the evaporation module among the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640). have.

For example, the first evaporation module 620 includes a first reboiler 621 that heats the aqueous solution Q to a first predetermined reference temperature, and an aqueous solution Q heated to a first predetermined reference temperature. It is delivered from the first reboiler 621 and induces the evaporation of water under an internal pressure controlled so that the evaporation temperature of the water contained in the aqueous solution (Q) becomes a predetermined first reference temperature, thereby precipitating soluble solids (S) 1 may have an evaporator 622 and a first circulation pump 623 for circulating the aqueous solution Q to the first reboiler 621 and the first evaporator 622 in a predetermined order.

For example, when the insoluble solid (I) is recycled as a cement raw material, the reference moisture is about 40%. For example, when insoluble solids (I) are recycled as brick refractory or ceramic materials, the reference moisture is about 0.5%. For reference, when recycling the insoluble solid content (I) as a brick refractory material or ceramic material, a material fired at about 1,200°C is required, and thus, a relatively low standard compared to recycling the insoluble solid content (I) as a cement raw material.

Since these hydrates are insoluble solids (I), they are separated from the aqueous solution (Q) by the first centrifugal separator 56 and transferred to the insoluble solids dryer 92. However, since hydrates are materials that are unstable compared to aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, and aluminum alloy oxides (hereinafter referred to as'oxides'), insoluble solids (I) containing such hydrates are not suitable for recycling.

As shown in Figure 20, the step of treating the soluble solid (S) to be recyclable (S 440), using a plurality of evaporation modules (620, 630, 640), respectively, the water contained in the aqueous solution (Q) Evaporating the soluble solids (S) from the aqueous solution (Q) (S 441), centrifuging the soluble solids precipitate (S ₁ ) and the aqueous solution (Q) (S 442), and soluble solids precipitate (S) ₁ ) drying (S 443 ), and storing the soluble solid content (S ₂ ) (S 444 ).

In the step (S 441) of precipitating the soluble solid (S), by evaporating the water contained in the insoluble solid (I) and the centrifuged aqueous solution (Q) in step S 421 using each of the evaporation modules (620,630, 640) The soluble solid content (S) is precipitated from the aqueous solution (Q), but evaporation of water is induced under different environmental conditions for each of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640), and thus different precipitation for each evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) Depending on the order and the timing of precipitation, sodium chloride and potassium chloride contained in the soluble solid (S) may be precipitated.

In addition, in the step (S 441) of precipitating the soluble solids (S), the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) is separated from the insoluble solids (I) and the aqueous solution pumped by the raw water supply pump (610) (Q ) Is supplied. For example, the insoluble solids (I) and the separated aqueous solution (Q) can be supplied to the third evaporator 642 of the third evaporation module 640 by the raw water supply pump 610, the third evaporator 642 Part of the aqueous solution (Q) supplied to) may be supplied to the second evaporator 632 of the second evaporation module 630 by the third circulation pump 643, and the aqueous solution supplied to the second evaporator 632 A portion of (Q) may be supplied to the first evaporator 622 of the first evaporation module 620 by the second circulation pump 633.

In addition, in the step (S 441) of precipitating the soluble solids (S), the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) is used directly or indirectly as a heat source using the high-temperature source steam (E) supplied from an external steam source Soluble solids (S) can be precipitated by heating the aqueous solution (Q) to evaporate the water. Here, the supply of the original steam (E) is preferably started in a state in which the aqueous solution (Q) is charged to a predetermined water level in the evaporator (622, 632, 642) of each of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640).

For example, the first reboiler 621 of the first evaporation module 620 may heat the aqueous solution by exchanging the original steam (E) and the aqueous solution.

For example, the second reboiler 631 of the second evaporation module 630 heat-exchanges the generated vapor (E ₁ ) generated by the evaporation of water in the first evaporator 622 with the aqueous solution (Q), and thus the aqueous solution (Q) Can be heated.

For example, the third reboiler 641 of the third evaporation module 640 heats the generated vapor (E ₂ ) generated by the evaporation of water from the second evaporator 632 with the aqueous solution (Q), and thus the aqueous solution (Q) Can be heated.

In the step (S 441) of precipitating these soluble solids (S), each of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640), using the reboiler (621, 631, 641) the aqueous solution (Q) at a predetermined reference temperature After heating, the evaporator 622, 632, 642 is used to induce evaporation of water under the internal pressure of the evaporator 622, 632, 642 controlled so that the evaporation temperature of the water becomes a reference temperature to precipitate soluble solids (S). Can be. The reference temperature is the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) of the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) according to the deposition order and precipitation time of sodium chloride and potassium chloride to be implemented in the evaporation modules (620, 630, 640) Each can be set individually.

For example, the first evaporation module 620 uses the first reboiler 621 to reduce the solubility of sodium chloride in the aqueous solution Q by at least a predetermined first reference value compared to the solubility of potassium chloride. After heating the aqueous solution (Q) to a temperature, the first evaporator is induced by evaporating water under the internal pressure of the first evaporator 622, which is adjusted so that the evaporation temperature of water is the first reference temperature using the first evaporator 622, In (622), sodium chloride can be preferentially precipitated from a significantly earlier time point than potassium chloride.

The first reference temperature and the internal pressure of the first evaporator 622 are not particularly solved. For example, the first reference temperature may be about 100° C. to 110° C., in which the solubility of sodium chloride in the aqueous solution (Q) is about 28% and the solubility of potassium chloride is about 35%, and the internal pressure of the first evaporator (622). May be about 20 kPa which is an evaporation pressure of water of about 100°C to 110°C.

For example, the second evaporation module 630 uses a second reboiler 631, a second reference temperature at which the solubility of sodium chloride in the aqueous solution Q and the solubility of potassium chloride are lowered below a predetermined second reference value. After heating the furnace aqueous solution (Q), the evaporation of water is induced using the second evaporator 632 so that the evaporation temperature of the water is adjusted to the second reference temperature, thereby inducing evaporation of water to reduce sodium chloride and potassium chloride. It can be precipitated together from almost the same time point.

For example, the second reference temperature may be from about 70° C. to 80° C., where the solubility of sodium chloride in aqueous solution (Q) is about 29% and the solubility of potassium chloride is about 28%, and the internal pressure of the second evaporator (632). May be about -60 kPa which is an evaporation pressure of water of about 70°C to 80°C.

For example, the third evaporation module 640 uses a third reboiler 641, a third criterion in which the solubility of potassium chloride in the aqueous solution Q is lowered by a predetermined third reference value or more compared to the solubility of sodium chloride. After heating the aqueous solution (Q) to a temperature, the evaporation of water is induced by using the third evaporator 642 to induce evaporation of water under the internal pressure of the third evaporator 642 adjusted so that the evaporation temperature of the water becomes the third reference temperature. At (642), potassium chloride can be preferentially precipitated from a significantly earlier point than sodium chloride.

For example, the third reference temperature may be about 50° C. to 60° C., in which the solubility of sodium chloride in aqueous solution (Q) is about 30% and the solubility of potassium chloride is about 22%, and the internal pressure of the second evaporator (642). May be about -80 kPa, which is an evaporation pressure of water of about 50°C to 60°C.

As described above, when the second reference temperature is about 70°C to 80°C, and the third reference temperature is about 50°C to 60°C, in order to evaporate water in the second evaporator 632 and the third evaporator 642, The internal pressure of the second evaporator 632 and the internal pressure of the third evaporator 642 should be maintained in a vacuum state lower than atmospheric pressure. To this end, the second evaporation module 630 and the third evaporation module 640, respectively, the pressure control member 670 to induce reduced pressure evaporation of water under a vacuum atmosphere according to the second reference temperature or the third reference temperature The internal pressure may be kept constant by a vacuum pressure selectively applied from.

In addition, in the step (S 441) of precipitating the soluble solid (S), the original steam (E) or the generated steam (E ₁ , E ₂ ) in the process of exchanging heat with the aqueous solution (Q), the original steam (E) or generated steam (E ₁ , E ₂ ) The condensate (D) generated by cooling by the aqueous solution (Q) and the generated vapor (E ₂ , E ₃ ) discharged from the second evaporator 632 or the third evaporator 642 The condensate D generated by condensation in the condenser 650 may be stored in the condensate storage tank 660. As such, the condensate D stored in the condensate storage tank 660 may be transferred to the first centrifugal separator 56 (S 445). Then, in step S 422, the insoluble solids (I) separated from the aqueous solution (Q) by the first centrifugal separator (56) can be washed using the condensate (D) transferred from the condensate storage tank (660) as distilled water. .

In the step (S 442) of centrifuging the soluble solids precipitate (S ₁ ) and the aqueous solution (Q), the soluble solids precipitate (S ₁ ) and the soluble solids precipitate (S ₁ ) precipitated from the aqueous solution (Q) in step S 441 are The remaining aqueous solution Q precipitated may be centrifuged using the second centrifuge 690 described above. The aqueous solution (Q) separated from the soluble solids precipitate (S ₁ ) is evaporated so that the soluble solids (S) remaining dissolved in the aqueous solution (S) without precipitation can be precipitated from the aqueous solution (Q). It may be re-delivered to the modules (620, 630, 640) (S 446). Then, in step S 441, the evaporation modules 620, 630, and 640 are used to reprecipitate the soluble solids (S) from the aqueous solution (Q) separated from the soluble solids precipitate (S ₁ ) in step S 442. .

In the step (S 443) for drying the soluble solid precipitate (S _1), it can be dried using an aqueous solution of the aforementioned soluble solid content of the soluble solid precipitate (S ₁₎ separated from the (Q) dryer 72 at S 442 step .
