The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1) On the basis of combining original ternary material production technology, abandoned the filtration of traditional little and the lower centrifuge formula of efficiency of handling capacity, and adopted agitator tank formula to filter the overall arrangement to the disposable material handling characteristic of the agitator tank that has utilized the large capacity adapts to the technological demand of the high production scale of ternary material, low water content and high washing effect. Specifically, in actual use, the ternary material firstly enters the stirring cavity through the feeding pipe, the spraying component such as a spray head and the like synchronously sprays the washing medium, and the stirring component such as a stirring paddle and even a stirring disc and the like performs stirring operation. While the ternary material is washed and stirred, the generated washing waste liquid leaks to the water filtering cavity along the filtering surface and is converged by the water outlet pipe to be discharged. And washing the completely ternary material, and discharging the completely ternary material out of the chamber through a solid discharging pipe so as to reciprocate. In the above operation, the chamber washing operation is performed every time the batch of the ternary material washing is completed. At the moment, due to the split characteristic of the tank body, the locking assembly can be opened, the lower base or the upper shell can be detached, the filtering surface on the lower base can be exposed, then the operation of removing the residual filter cake on the filtering surface and even on the inner wall of the tank body can be rapidly and efficiently carried out, and the use is very convenient.
Obviously, the invention can meet the process requirements of large production scale, high water content and washing effect requirements, high crystal form requirement of particles, high purity requirement and high closed operation requirement of ternary materials, effectively ensure the self productivity and production efficiency and synchronously meet the green manufacturing characteristics of efficiency enhancement, energy conservation, consumption reduction and emission reduction required by the current green manufacturing; after the process is adopted, the single-line productivity is improved by 6 to 10 times, and is improved to 2000 to 4000kg per batch from the original 400kg, so that the production efficiency is greatly improved; meanwhile, the ten thousand-ton capacity is reduced by 20 ten thousand tons of production wastewater; and the actual power consumption of the stirred tank filter of the core equipment is only 1/2 of the rated configuration power, so that the power consumption is greatly reduced. Through calculation, the centrifugal equipment in the traditional process consumes about 5.5 kW.h per 100kg, the stirred tank filter consumes about 0.8-1 kW.h per 100kg, and can save energy by more than 4.5 multiplied by 105 kW.h according to the ten thousand tons of productivity per year, so that the effect is remarkable.
2) For the locking assembly, there are various locking modes: if a threaded screwing mode is adopted, or a positioning pin or a positioning column is adopted for inserting and locking, even the external force of the hydraulic cylinder group is directly adopted for supporting and pressing to ensure the supporting and sealing functions of the lower base relative to the upper shell, and the like. In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotation function of the locking ring is adopted, and the engagement property of the engagement teeth of the locking ring with respect to the engagement teeth of the lower base is utilized to ensure the sealing engagement of the lower base with respect to the upper housing. The locking ring locking structure can ensure the matching stability and the certainty of the tank body in a combined state, synchronously ensure the convenience in operation and achieve multiple purposes.
3) In practical operation, the invention should be far away from the base surface such as the ground, so as to make a free space for the movement of the lower base. The lower base can generate mechanical controllable lifting action by being driven by a plurality of hydraulic cylinders which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, so that when the lower base is separated from the upper shell, the stability, reliability and safety of the whole separation operation can be always ensured.
4) The invention is calibrated with the function of washing, filtering and drying in large capacity, so the whole tank body has extremely heavy mass, and the lower base is no exception, which is one of the fundamental reasons why the lower base needs to be driven by the hydraulic cylinder to act. Meanwhile, the locking ring also needs to be driven by the power cylinder so as to ensure the rotation action of the locking ring. And because the locking ring and the upper shell form an integral matching structure through the power oil cylinder, once the locking ring acts, the lower base can be driven to generate follow-up deflection action under high friction force, which needs to be avoided. Therefore, through the design of the rotation stopping section and the matching groove, once the lower base is inserted into the locking ring along the axial direction, the rotation stopping section at the lower base is naturally inserted into the matching groove at the upper shell to form rotation stopping matching, so that the lower base is prevented from generating accidental follow-up rotation action.
5) The locking ring is huge in structure, and only the locking ring is clamped at the flanging of the upper shell by means of self gravity during actual operation, so that the lubricating effect between the upper surface of the flanging and the hole shoulder of the locking ring can be improved in an oil lubricating or grease lubricating mode when necessary. The special wedge-shaped shape of the meshing teeth aims to facilitate the lower base to be clamped into the meshing teeth of the locking ring more quickly, and the description is omitted here.
6) The design of the movable wheels and the rails facilitates that the base surface can quickly receive the lower base during cleaning, and more cleaning spaces are reserved by moving the lower base along the side of the rails. The anti-deviation guard plate is used for guiding the traveling path of the movable wheel.
7) As another bright point part of the invention, the stirring component of the invention is additionally provided with a heating type stirring and propelling type blade structure on the basis of adopting a conventional stirring structure of a stirring blade matched with a stirring shaft. Particularly, the stirring leaf presents the triangular pyramid platform structure of opening one's heart alone, utilizes the unique inclined plane of stirring leaf on the one hand, has guaranteed the turnover formula washing and the interior material pushing function outside to ternary material to promote ternary material's washing effect, and guaranteed ternary material to the slow speed function of marcing of solid discharging pipe department. On the other hand, the transverse partition plate is arranged in the hole cavity of the stirring blade, so that the traditional stirring blade is changed into a heating type blade, and the preheating function of the washed and filtered materials is realized on the basis of the washing and filtering functions of the invention. The preheated material enters the next drying procedure through the solid discharge pipe, and the drying efficiency can be remarkably improved.

the production system based on the ternary material provided by the invention takes the stirred tank filter 30 as a main body, and organically integrates the functions of closed pressure filtration, stirring, slurrying and washing, automatic rotary discharging, self-heating and the like into the stirred tank filter 30, so that the whole structure is compact and optimized, and the process flow is effectively shortened. Based on the structure of the stirred tank filter 30, the washing kettle 20 with higher efficiency is prepared in the front end process, so that the materials are fully dispersed and reacted; the rear end of the double-screw dryer 50 is provided with the double-screw dryer, so that the materials can be fully mixed and efficiently dried, the crystal form of the materials is not damaged, the high-quality ternary material is finally obtained, and the whole process has the characteristic of green manufacture.
More specifically, the ternary material-based production system of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 9, mainly comprises a stirring and mixing device 10, a water washing tank 20, a stirred tank filter 30, a material switching valve 60, a twin screw dryer 50, and the like. Wherein:
stirring and mixing equipment
The stirring and mixing device 10 is mainly used for mixing Ni, co, mn plasma mixed liquid, pure water, alkali liquor and the like, and the rotating speed, the stirring paddle structure, the flow baffle and the like of the mixing are key factors influencing the mixing effect. The water washing kettle 20 is a device for uniformly pulping and reacting the mixed materials, and is also a core device for obtaining the precursor.
The stirring and mixing device 10 generally comprises a stirring tank, and the size of the tank body of the stirring tank, the type of the stirrer, the rotating speed, the number of baffles, the type and the size of the baffles, the feeding position and other structural characteristics are all key factors influencing the reaction; similarly, the diameter, number and type of the paddles are set according to the technical parameters of the volume and diameter of the mixing and stirring device 10. The flow baffle plates uniformly distributed on the wall of the stirring and mixing device 10 contribute to improving the mixing effect.
Washing kettle
Before the materials are filtered, pulped, washed and pre-dried in the stirred tank filter 30, a washing kettle 20 for uniform pulping and reaction is needed. As shown in fig. 1, an anchor type stirrer is arranged at the center of the washing kettle 20, an anchor paddle is arranged in the anchor type stirrer, and the rotating speed is low and is generally lower than 100r/min; the anchor paddle must be below the liquid level at its highest position. In order to prevent the anchor paddle from being rubbed with the wall of the water washing kettle 20, a certain safety distance of 10-20 mm is generally provided. The anchor paddle is also provided with a plurality of scrapers, which are generally made of plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene. The distance between the scraper and the wall of the water washing kettle 20 is smaller and can be smaller than 5mm, and the scraper is used for preventing materials from gathering on the wall of the barrel. In addition, the non-central position of the wall of the washing kettle 20, that is, the position avoiding the anchor stirrer, is also laterally provided with a high-speed disperser, the main shaft of the high-speed disperser is provided with a sawtooth dispersion disk, the diameter is generally small, about 200-600 mm, and the high-speed disperser can be specifically set according to the technical parameters of the volume, the diameter, the rotating speed and the like of the reaction kettle. The rotating speed of the high-speed disperser is high, generally 1000-2000 r/min. Under the dual action of the anchor stirrer and the high-speed disperser, the materials can be fully mixed, and the purposes of high-efficiency pulping and reaction are achieved.
Stirring tank type filter
The stirred tank type filter 30 is the innovation point of the invention and is also the core equipment of the process, and the functions of the invention integrate various functions of solid-liquid filtration, pulping, washing, impurity removal, predrying and the like, thereby greatly shortening the process flow and efficiently realizing solid-liquid separation.
The detailed construction of the stirred tank filter 30 referring to FIGS. 2 to 8, the entire stirred tank filter 30 is designed as a split type structure including a tank body formed by an upper housing 31 and a lower base 32 which are coupled to each other in consideration of automation and intelligence, and convenience in cleaning a residual filter cake. In order to prevent metal elements such as iron, zinc, copper and the like from entering the ternary material and affecting the product quality, tungsten carbide or other wear-resistant materials need to be sprayed on the tank body and the part of the structure, which is in contact with the ternary material, to be described later.
The outer wall of the lower base 32 is in a two-section stepped shaft shape with a thin upper part and a thick lower part, so that the matching and the sealing performance of the lower base 32 and the upper shell 31 are realized by coaxial splicing and matching of a small right-angle section of the lower base with the bottom edge of the upper shell 31; if desired, a gasket or the like, as shown in FIG. 6, may be added to promote a sealing engagement between the two. When the lower base 32 is inserted into the upper housing 31 from bottom to top, the locking function of the locking assembly 37 is required to ensure the matching firmness and the external sealing effect of the lower base 32 and the upper housing 31. As shown in fig. 2-3, a filtering surface 32a made of a filtering material such as a metal filtering net or filtering cloth is laid on the top end surface of the lower base 32, and once the tank body is assembled and formed, the filtering surface 32a naturally forms a double-layer cavity structure in which the upper part of the cavity of the tank body is a stirring cavity and the lower part is a water filtering cavity. Meanwhile, as can be seen in fig. 2, in order to ensure the internal stirring effect of the tank body, a stirring assembly 34 is coaxially arranged at the upper shell 31; in addition, a feeding pipe and a spraying assembly 33 are arranged above the upper shell 31, and a water outlet pipe 36 is arranged at the bottom of the lower base 32, so as to ensure the feeding of ternary materials and washing media and the discharge function of washing waste liquid. The solids outlet pipe 35 is arranged on the side of the upper housing 31 to facilitate the discharge. The size of the solid discharge pipe 35 is determined according to the process parameters such as the volume of the cylinder body, the slag content and the like. The solid discharge pipe 35 is connected with an automatic discharge valve, such as a hydraulic automatic open-close plunger type discharge valve or an electric screw rod drive open-close plunger type discharge valve, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic discharge according to the requirement; when necessary, the intelligent control system can realize intellectualization by arranging a sensor and interlocking programs.
In operation, as shown in fig. 2-5, the locking assembly 37 includes a locking ring 37a, the outer shape of the ring cavity of the locking ring 37a is a two-stage stepped hole shape with a thin upper part and a thick lower part, and a flange 31a is arranged at the bottom edge of the lower shell; during assembly, the locking ring 37a is coaxially sleeved on the outer wall of the lower shell, and the purpose of rotating the locking ring 37a is achieved by utilizing the surface-fitting type rotating fit between the hole shoulder of the locking ring 37a and the top surface of the flanging 31 a. In consideration of the large mass of the locking ring 37a, both ends of the power cylinder may be hinged to the outer wall of the upper housing 31 and the locking ring 37a, respectively, if necessary, so that the function of applying a circumferential force to the locking ring 37a is ensured by the hydraulic pressure of the power cylinder. The locking ring 37a has a plurality of engaging teeth 37b circumferentially distributed on the inner wall of the large diameter section, and for the lower base 32, as shown in fig. 3-4, a plurality of engaging teeth 37c axially distributed on the outer wall of the large diameter section of the lower base 32.
When the can body assembling operation is to be performed, the lower base 32 is first lifted and inserted coaxially into the upper shell 31. Then, the locking ring 37a is rotated by the hydraulic pressure of the power cylinder, and the engaging teeth 37b are rotated, thereby being locked or unlocked with the engaging teeth 37c. Fig. 2 shows an implementation manner in which when the locking ring 37a is rotated clockwise, the engaging teeth 37c and the engaging teeth 37b are engaged and locked with each other; conversely, the engaging teeth 37c and the engaging teeth 37b are released and disengaged from each other. In order to prevent the lower base 32 from generating a spinning phenomenon under the action of the meshing friction force of the meshing teeth 37b during the meshing process to cause meshing failure, two or more matching teeth 37c which are optionally and uniformly distributed can be used as anti-rotation teeth among a plurality of matching teeth 37c which are uniformly distributed on the outer circumference of the lower base 32. In other words, the rotation preventing teeth should vertically extend upward to form a rotation preventing section 37d as shown in fig. 4, and a matching groove 37e matched with the rotation preventing section 37d is correspondingly arranged and milled at the upper shell 31 to form a rotation preventing matching structure matching similar to a key groove and a key. Because the upper housing 31 is fixed, the degree of freedom in the circumferential direction of the lower base 32 is eliminated by the engagement of the rotation preventing section 37d at the rotation preventing teeth with the engaging groove 37e, and the rotation does not occur during the engagement.
By the automatic opening and closing technology of the large-diameter cylinder hydraulic tooth-meshed cylinder flange, the automatic opening and closing operation of a full series of hydraulic tooth-meshed cylinder flanges with the diameter of 2000-3200 mm can be realized, and the effect is remarkable.
Further, in the meshing rotation, the shoulder of the locking ring 37a and the corresponding surface at the flange 31a of the upper housing 31 are the force-bearing surfaces that interact with each other. When the engaging teeth 37b and the mating teeth 37c are engaged and locked with each other, the pressure generated by the engaging teeth is transmitted to the upper case 31 through the locking ring 37a and finally to the base surface through the supporting ears 38b and the supporting legs 38 a. In order to ensure that the locking ring 37a rotates smoothly in the locking process, an oil groove is arranged at the hole shoulder of the locking ring 37a, and when the oil groove is used, a proper amount of lubricating grease can be added into the oil groove through the oil filling hole to play a role in lubrication; of course, a proper amount of lubricating material such as graphite may be inserted into the shoulder of the locking ring 37a to perform the lubricating function.
Further, in order to realize automation and intellectualization, as shown in fig. 2, a weight sensor may be disposed between the support ear seat 38b and the support leg 38a of the upper housing 31, and the intellectualization is realized by calculating through the weight sensor and a program, and automatically adding washing liquid and the like in proportion according to the weight of the material. The support ear mounts 38b are typically provided in two or three and are evenly spaced. Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 2, the lower base 32 and the support ear base 38b are connected to each other by a hydraulic cylinder 32 d; the piston cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 32d is hinged to the bottom surface of the supporting lug seat 38b, the piston rod end of the hydraulic cylinder 32d is hinged to the connecting lug plate 32b, and the connecting lug plate 32b is fixedly connected with the lower base 32, so that the lower base 32 has a vertical mechanical lifting function of lead through the vertical telescopic function of the hydraulic cylinder 32 d.
In addition, the bottom of the lower base 32 is also provided with four moving wheels 32c, and the four moving wheels 32c are preferably arranged, and two wheels in the front row are generally universal wheels for guiding; the two rear wheels are fixed wheels. In order to prevent the lower base 32 from being collided and damaged due to the difficulty in controlling the guiding during the movement, and prevent the lower base 32 from being heavy and damaged to the base surface, the rail 39 is generally arranged at the base surface correspondingly. When the locking assembly 37 is released, the lower base 32 falls down under the driving of the hydraulic cylinder 32d, and the moving wheel 32c directly enters the track 39, so that the movement is convenient and the direction is fixed. To prevent the running deviation, a deviation preventing guard 39a may be provided outside the rail 39 as shown in fig. 3, and the height of the deviation preventing guard 39a is slightly smaller than the diameter of the moving wheel 32 c. The rails 39 are generally steel plates, which reduce friction, facilitate movement of the lower base 32, and protect the epoxy floor finish of the factory floor.
Furthermore, in order to reduce the power consumption of the stirred tank filter 30 and realize green and energy-saving, the invention also improves the structure of the stirring assembly 34. On the basis of keeping the structure of the stirring blade, the stirring shaft 34a and the power motor of the traditional stirring assembly 34, the stirring blade is designed into a hollow triangular pyramid structure, so that the multiple purposes of light weight, self-heating, self-stirring and self-pushing are achieved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 7-8, in practical design, the stirring blades may be designed in two groups and arranged axially symmetrically along the stirring shaft 34 a. The two groups of stirring blades have consistent sizes, the two sides of the stirring blades are balanced, and the working stress is more balanced. Taking the stirring blade on one side as an example, a hollow cavity structure with a triangular cross section is enclosed by the front inclined plate 34b, the rear inclined plate 34c, the bottom plate 34d and the end plate 34 e. The triangular hollow cavity section of the stirring blade is reduced outwards from the center according to a certain slope, the large end, namely the inner end, of the stirring blade is fixedly connected with the mounting seat at the stirring shaft 34a in a welding mode, the small end, namely the outer end, of the stirring blade extends towards the cylinder wall of the upper shell 31, and finally a triangular frustum structure similar to a truncated cone is formed. On the cross section of the stirring blade, the front inclined plate 34b and the rear inclined plate 34c are consistent and symmetrical in shape, so that the cross section is isosceles or even equilateral triangle; meanwhile, the included angle alpha between the bottom plate 34d and the horizontal plane is generally 7-12 degrees, so that the friction between the whole plane of the bottom plate 34d and the materials can be avoided. When in actual scraping, only the blade part of the plough blade is cut into the filter cake and is in linear contact, thus causing less damage to the crystal of the filter cake; and the plough blades 34f are arranged in a multi-blade and interval manner, so that the extrusion force on a filter cake is reduced, the crystal form is kept, and the unfavorable conditions of damaging the crystal shape and consuming power are avoided. Just because the triangular hollow cavity cross-section of stirring vane outwards reduces according to certain slope by the center, this makes whole paddle when rotatory, can outwards produce thrust, outwards pushes out the material by the center, discharges by solid discharging pipe 35 slowly. The front inclined plate 34b of each stirring blade is also welded with a plough blade 34f in an intermittent way. As can be seen in fig. 6, the paths of the circles drawn on each blade 34f are staggered, i.e., do not interfere with one another. The bottom surface of the mounting seat of the stirring shaft 34a is also provided with a middle blade 34g which is used for scraping materials which cannot be scraped by the plough blade 34f and are right below the stirring shaft 34 a. The circular path described by each plow blade 34f, in combination with the rotational path of the middle blade 34g, should cooperate with each other in a complete circle in a top view to cover the entire filtering surface 32a of the stirred tank filter 30. The arcuate shingled coulter design of the plow blades 34f also facilitates cutting and turning of the material.
On the basis of the lightweight, self-turning and self-pushing structure of the stirring blade, the stirring blade also has a self-heating function. Specifically, also taking one side of the stirring blade as an example, a transverse partition plate 34h is welded in the triangular hollow cavity of the stirring blade, so that the strength of the hollow cavity is enhanced, the stirring blade can bear the filtering pressure, and the triangular hollow cavity is divided into an upper heating cavity and a lower heating cavity. As can be seen in fig. 6, a fitting gap is left between the stirring blade and the end plate 34e, so that the upper heating chamber and the lower heating chamber communicate with each other. The upper heating cavity is communicated with a heating inlet 34i at the stirring shaft 34a, and the lower heating cavity is communicated with a heating outlet 34j at the stirring shaft 34 a. In the stage of pre-drying the ternary material, a heat source such as steam and the like can be introduced from the center of the stirring shaft 34a, enters from the heating inlet 34i, reaches the lower heating cavity through the upper heating cavity and the matching gap, and is finally discharged from the heating outlet 34j to form a heat exchange passage. The stirring blade on the other side is also arranged. Therefore, the stirring blades can carry a heat source to directly pre-dry the ternary material, and in the drying process, the stirring blades She Haike rotate and turn over the material, so that the heat transfer efficiency is higher, and the heating process of the ternary material is more uniform.
Double-screw dryer
The double-screw dryer 50 is a low-shear and high-efficiency drying device, the double-screw dryer 50 can perform revolution and rotation at low speed, the mixing effect is good, but the stirring strength is low, the shearing force is weak, the completeness of the crystal form of the material can be ensured, and the product quality is ensured. Because the material drying cycle is longer, in order to ensure the matching of the process, a material switching valve 60 is generally arranged between the stirred tank filter 30 and the double-screw dryer 50, and 1 stirred tank filter 30 is matched with 2 double-screw dryers 50 through the automatic switching of the material switching valve 60, so that the process time is matched with each other.
As shown in fig. 9, during actual design, the material switching valve 60 is provided with a joint of the three-way material conveying pipe 40, and the valve plate is controlled to swing through the cylinder, so that the function of rapidly switching two groups of outlet pipes of the material at the three-way material conveying pipe 40 is realized. The deflection position of the valve plate is sensed by a sensor, from which signal it is known which outlet pipe and twin screw dryer 50 the material is currently entering. In order to prevent the accumulation of materials in the upper space of the valve plate, nozzles can be arranged on the circumference of the upper space of the valve plate, and compressed air is used for blowing regularly to prevent the materials from collecting. If the outlet pipe is long, an air hammer can be arranged outside the outlet pipe, and the outlet pipe is shaken periodically to prevent aggregate. Similarly, in order to prevent metal elements such as iron, zinc, copper and the like from entering the ternary material and affecting the product quality, the part of the three-way material conveying pipe 40, which is in contact with the material, needs to be sprayed with tungsten carbide or other wear-resistant materials.
After the materials are filtered, pulped, washed and pre-dried in the stirred tank filter 30, the materials are output by the automatic discharge valve and fall into the corresponding double-screw drier 50 through the three-way material conveying pipe 40. The twin-screw dryer 50 can be introduced with a heat source, and the materials and the heat source are fully mixed and dried under the dual actions of revolution and rotation of the twin screws. In order to improve the drying efficiency, the upper part of the 50 end sockets of the double-screw dryer is provided with a vacuumizing port, so that the drying process can be accelerated through vacuumizing. In order to prevent the material from being sucked away, a dust collector can be arranged at the position of the double-screw dryer 50, and a filter element is arranged inside the double-screw dryer. The quantity, the material and the precision of the filter elements are determined according to actual needs. The upper part of the dust collector is provided with a vacuumizing port, and when vacuumizing is performed, material dust is sucked and can be retained on the filtering surface outside the filter element by the filter element. After the vacuumizing is finished, the back blowing can be carried out through the back blowing port, and the material dust intercepted on the filtering surface outside the filter element is blown down into the double-screw dryer 50. The filter element can also be set in such a way that during the vacuum pumping, material dust is trapped on the filter surface in the filter element, which can be determined according to the structural type of the filter element.
In the concrete operation, in order to ensure smooth solid discharge and transportation of the stirred tank filter 30, the stirred tank filter 30 is generally arranged on a building or a platform and has a certain height; and the double-screw dryer 50 is correspondingly arranged at a low position and is connected with the material switching valve 60 through the three-way material conveying pipe 40. Thus, the solids discharged from the stirred tank filter 30 can fall freely by gravity, and the conveying manner is relatively reliable.
To facilitate a further understanding of the green manufacturing system to which the present invention pertains, the following further description of the specific manner of use of the present invention is provided herein in connection with the following manufacturing process:
1) Mixing NiSO 4 、MnSO 4 、CoSO 4 The ternary material is prepared by mixing the following materials in a set ratio, such as 5:2:3, fully stirring and mixing the mixture and pure water in a stirring and mixing device 10 to form a ternary material salt solution; in this case, the solution concentration is controlled to be about 20 to 40%, and the solution density is controlled to be 1.1 to 1.4.
2) And the ternary material salt solution is conveyed into a washing kettle 20 through a pump by a stirring and mixing device 10, and simultaneously diluted alkali liquor, a complexing agent, a coating agent and pure water are added for carrying out complex reaction and aging, wherein the pH value is controlled to be 11 +/-2, the reaction temperature is 60 ℃, the reaction time is kept to be less than or equal to 1h, and the particle diameter is controlled to be 5 mu m. In order to ensure the process requirements, the stirring speed of the main shaft of the washing kettle 20 is 0-40 rpm, and 30rpm is commonly used; the rotating speed of the side paddles is 0-600; 400rpm is commonly used; the dispersion impeller is sprayed with 0.3mm tungsten carbide (WC), so that copper, iron and zinc are prevented from entering materials, and the quality is prevented from being influenced.
3) After aging, the concentration of the ternary material slurry is controlled to be 35-50%, and the particle diameter distribution is D 50 =8~12μm,D 0 Not less than 1 μm; then the mixture enters a stirring tank type filter 30, dry powder is added, and pure water and dilute alkali liquor are used for slurrying and washing; after washing, the moisture content of the filter cake is less than 7%, the operation period is less than 2.5h, the solid content of the mother liquor is less than 0.1%, and the flatness of the filter cake is less than 10% of the thickness of the filter cake.
4) And the filter cake after filtration and washing enters a double-screw dryer 50 through a solid discharge pipe 35 to be dried, and at the moment, the crystal form retention rate of the ternary material is more than 96 percent, so that a high-quality ternary material finished product is obtained.

The locking component 37 also provides a device foundation for the full-automatic realization of the filter, and the unloading time and the barrel body opening and closing time are greatly shortened. According to measurement and calculation, compared with the traditional integral type and bolt quick-opening type, the on-off mode of the stirred tank type filter 30 with the diameter of 3200mm can save the time by more than 50min, and is shown in the following table:
