2、,不同程度上影响了食用盐生产企业的经济效益,造成许多食用盐定点生产企业减产、亏损,直接影响了百姓的生活。而采用滩田饱和卤水直接进蒸发罐制盐,即可以节约结晶面积,其母液还可以为生产氯化钾、氯化镁等盐化工产品提供高质量原料苦卤,达到充分利用卤水中的各种有效成分,实现零排放、无污染、循环经济的目的。2. 工艺流程简述卤水经滩田日晒蒸发,至饱和后引入一个卤水库中储存。卤水库的作用,一是储存一定量的饱和卤水,以备真空制盐生产的需要;二是卤水在此有一定的停留时间,可以使其中的一些杂质颗粒沉淀下来,达到净化卤水的目的。净化后的饱和卤水从卤水库引出后,进入蒸发制盐车间的精卤桶。采用预热后的卤水进罐,顺流转料、
3、末效排盐浆,集中排母液的方式进行生产。I 效蒸发罐盐箱中的盐排到 II 效下循环管中,II 效盐箱中的盐排到 III 效下循环管中,III 效盐箱中的盐排到 IV 效下循环管中,最后集中在 IV 效盐箱;IV 效排出盐浆,同时由 IV 效分离罐排出母液。工艺流程简图见图 1。2I效蒸发罐 混合冷凝器预热器效蒸发罐I效蒸发罐I效蒸发罐I效平衡桶I效平衡桶I效闪发桶 效闪发桶平横桶 预热器I效闪发桶 效平衡桶生 蒸 汽 生 活 用 水原 料 卤 水不 凝 汽 去 真 空 泵冷 却 水盐 浆回 锅 炉 原 料 卤 水 母 液 效 二 次 蒸 汽 效 二 次 蒸 汽 效 二 次 蒸 汽 效 二 次 蒸

5、消耗 1.2t 日晒原盐,年产 15万 t 的精制盐需要 18 万 t 原盐,需要结晶面积 136.36 公顷(按目前中国北方盐场有效结晶单产 1650t/公顷,有效面积占 80) ,采用饱和卤水直接进蒸发罐工艺,不需要饱和卤水进结晶池继续蒸发制盐,只需要建设一个约 2 公顷的饱和卤库,因此,节约了土地面积 134.36 公顷,节省的结晶面积可用于增加日晒盐产量 8547t,按日晒盐销售价 160 元/t 计算,日晒盐增加产值 136.8 万元。如果土地按 3 万元/亩计算,节约土地价值为 6000 多万元。3)采用三次洗涤方法洗涤盐浆以去除钙镁离子,使氯化钠含量超过 99.4,精制盐达到优级
6、盐质量。蒸发结晶过程中盐浆会夹带大量的母液,母液中含有大量的钙、镁杂质,因此,采用三次不同的洗涤方式洗涤盐浆,提高精制盐质量。34)用饱和卤水直接生产精制盐母液损失小,提高了母液的利用率,实现盐化联产采用盐田饱和卤水直接生产优级真空精制盐工艺,每产 1t 精制盐副产母液约 1.7m3,以年产 15 万 t 精制盐计算,全年可产生 25.5 万 m3 蒸发母液,且排出的苦卤氯化钾含量达到了 2430g/l,浓度为 2934Be,钠镁比值为1.40.6,排出的苦卤中氯化钾总含量为 6589t,氯化镁总量为 36540t,硫酸镁总量为 18900t,氯化钠总量为 37600t,溴总量 510t。而年
7、产 18 万 t 原盐,排出的苦卤量一般只有 18 万 m3,经过复晒、渗透损失、沟道输送进入化工厂后只有原来的 45左右,也就是说还有 8.1 万 m3,这时氯化钾总含量为2036t,氯化镁总量为 15280 t,硫酸镁总量为 7727.4 t,氯化钠总量为 11128 t,溴总量 162t。因此,该工艺可为盐化工生产提供更多的原料,提高了生产效率,降低了各种消耗,节约能源。该工艺排出的制盐蒸发母液温度在 55.04以上,可通过管道直接进入下步生产氯化钾的工序,生产氯化钾产品,节约氯化钾生产过程中所需热量,折标煤 1157 吨/年5)由于滩田饱和卤水较化盐卤水氯化钠含量低,因此单位产品的蒸发
8、水量较高,吨盐产品电、蒸汽消耗量较大,能耗较高。6)蒸发设备换热面积较化盐溶解工艺稍高,因此设备投资相对较高,但由于节省大量盐田结晶面积,总体投资低。4. 与原盐溶解再制盐工艺技术经济指标比较国内海盐区生产真空盐的工艺主要有滩田饱和卤水进罐蒸发制盐和原盐溶解制成饱和卤水蒸发制盐两种方法。原盐溶解制成饱和卤水蒸发制盐工艺优缺点有:(1)需建结晶池,工程总体投资较高;(2)单位产品蒸发水量小,设备投资稍低, (3)吨盐消耗电、蒸汽量较小;(4)水消耗较大,吨盐产品耗水2.4m3, (5)蒸发母液损失大。比较两种制盐方法技术经济指标如表。表 主要经济技术指标比较项 目 再制盐生产 饱和卤水直接进罐生

10、地资源的浪费,再有其生产成本低,企业有较高的利润空间;排出的制盐母液综合利用生产钾、溴、镁等产品,使卤水全部吃干榨净,没有废物排放,减少了环境污染,有利于可持续发展。5New technology of producing refined salt by adding salt field saturated brine into evaporator directly Jin zhiling Ge Jinyang(Salt Research Institute China Natural Salt Industry Corporation, TianJin 300450)Abstract:

Calcium and magnesium ions can be removed by washing salt three times in order to get the sodium chloride that the purity is over 99.1 percent and the mother liquor that have
12、high concentration.Key words: saline saturated brine, vacuum, refine salt 1 BRIEF INTRODUCTIONAt present, the materials of making vacuum salt are using the well and rock salt in most of the well and rock salt corporations and the saturated brine got by dissolving crude salt. Along with the rapid dev

This will influence the economic efficiency of edible salt manufacturing enterprises , make them reduce output and affect peoples live.However, using the method of making saline satu

Furthermore, the mother liquor can be used as material to produce chemically products such as potassium chloride, magnesium chloride etc. in order to make use of all kinds o

INDICATION OF THE PROCESS FLOWAfter being solarized to saturation in beach field brine was inducted to brine tank and stored. On the one hand brine tank can store some saturated bri
17、ne that is used to produce vacuum salt. On the other hand ,brine have some residence time here so some impurities can be deposited in order to make the brine be purified. After being drawouted from brine tank the cleaned saturated brine was pumped to fine brine tank in the manufacture salt plant. An

21、the process flow3. RELATIVE MERITS OF THE PROCESSIn the north of China a production line has been built with this process, which can produce 1.5 million tons salt per year. Comparing with rework salt production process, the effect of this process is as follows:1)The saturated brine is used in this p
22、rocess take the place of dissolving crude salt with fresh water. Such can reduce the consumption of fresh water and save the resource. According to the produce conditions, producing 1 ton salt will consume 1.4-0.2 m3 fresh water. And that if use the reworking salt process 3.5-4.53 m3 fresh water wil
23、l be used. That is to say 2.1-4.3 m3 fresh water can be saved corresponding to 1 ton salt .2) Saving the solar salt field, reduce the consumption of crude salt, increase the availability of the salt field. For the reworking salt production line, as a general rule producing 1 ton refine salt will con
24、sume 1.2 tons solar salt. Producing 1.5 million ton refine salt needs 1.8 million tons crude salt and 136.36 hectare crystal area(According to the experience that one hectare can produce 1650 ton crystal and the effective area is 80 percent). Using the process that the saturated brine is pumped to e
25、vaporating tank directly the brine need not evaporate in crystal pond but for a saturated brine storeroom of about 2 hectare. Such can save surface area of 134.36 hectare and this area can be used to increase 8547 ton output of 7solar salt. Hence the productive value of solar salt will increase 136.
26、8 ten thousand yuan according to the market price of solar salt which is 160yuan/t. And land value of 60 million yuan can be saved if the land is 30,000 yuan per mou. 3)Adopting the method of washing salt three times in order to get rid of calcium and magnesium ions , make the purity of sodium chlor
27、ide exceed 99.4% and make the refine salt reach first quality. In the process of evaporative crystallization much mother liquor will exist in salt slurry. The mother liquor contains a lot of impurity of calcium and magnesium. So salt slurry is washed in three different ways in order to improve the q
28、uality of refine salt.4)Using the saturated brine to produce refine salt can reduce the consume of mother liquors, enhance its availability and realize the production of salt and chemicals together. The process that producing excellent vacuum salt with salina saturated brine directly can get 1.7 m3
29、mother liquor in relation to 1t refine salt. On the base of 150,000 ton refine salt, we can get 255,000 m3 evaporation mother liquor. In bitter brine whose concentration is 29340Bethe content of potassium chloride is 2430g/l and the ratio of sodium and magnesium is 1.40.6. And 6589t potassium chlori
30、de, 36540t magnesium chloride,18900t magnesium sulfate,37600t sodium chloride and 510t bromine are contained in the bitter brine.The bitter brine is about 180,000 m3 in relation to 180,000t crude salt. After being solarized repeatedly and consuming for filter the brine is left 45% when it is pumped
31、to chemical plant. That is to say there are 81,000 m3 brine. By now there are 2036t potassium chloride, 15280t magnesium chloride, 7727.4t magnesium sulfate, 11128t sodium chloride and 162t bromine. So the process can provide more material for salt and chemicals plants, heighten production efficienc
32、y, reduce all kinds of consumption and save energy. The temperature of the mother liquor got from this process is over 55.04. So it can be pumped to the potassium chloride process with pipe to produce potassium chloride. Such will save the heat quantity in the process of producing potassium chloride
33、. And the heat quantity is equal to 11578t/y standard coal.5) Because the content of sodium chloride in the beach saturated brine is lower than the content in the brine that is got by dissolving salt, the evaporated water of unit produce is higher, the electricity and steam consumption are more. Tha
34、t is to say the energy consumption is higher.6)The heat exchange area is a littler bigger than the process of dissolving salt, so the equipment investment is higher. But because of saving a lot of salina crystal area the total investment is lower.4. COMPARE THE ECONOMIC INDICATORS WITH THE PROCESS O
35、F DISSOLVING CRUDE SALT AND THEN REMAKING SALT In China There are two main methods to producing vacuum salt in sea salt area. One is pumping the beach saturated brine into evaporating pot. The 8other is using the saturated brine got by dissolving crude salt. Comparing the second method with the firs
36、t method the relative merits of the second method is as follows:(1)need to build crystal pond and the total investment is higher.(2)The evaporated water of unit product is smaller and the equipment investment is lower.(3)The consuming of electricity and steam is lower.(4)The consuming of water is mo
37、re and 2.4 m3 water will be consumed in relation to 1 ton salt.(5)The loss of mother liquor is bigger. The economic indicators of the two methods are as follows:Comparison of the main economic and technical normsItem The process by dissolving saltThe process by the saturated brine being pumped into

39、Between the two processes there is bigger difference in the investment and production cost of the unit product. The total investment of the unit product is lower and the cost of unit product is lower 30 than the method of dissolving crude salt.For the plant that producing refine salt in the sea salt
40、 area in north using the method of pumping beach saturated brine into evaporating pot and producing salt is a good production process. It can save investment and land. Particularly dissolving crude salt into saturated salt and then making salt is a kind of waste to land resource. Moreover, the production cost is lower. And corporations will get more profit. The mother liquor can be used to product potassium, bromine and magnesium etc. Brine will be utilized completely. No waste be discharged and it will reduce environment pollution. This is in favor of the sustainable development.
