Lithium fluoride microwave drying device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium fluoride drying devices, in particular to a lithium fluoride microwave drying device and method.
Background
Lithium fluoride is an important inorganic fluoride and is widely applied to the fields of glass, ceramics, communication optical fibers, lithium batteries and the like. Before processing, the requirement on the moisture content is strict, namely PPM level, and generally the requirement is below 100 PPM. Therefore, the lithium fluoride drying device is the key point for ensuring that the moisture content of the product is uniformly lower than 100ppm and preventing the product from agglomerating.
The traditional drying modes such as a rotary kiln, a dynamic drying furnace, a belt type drying kiln and the like have the defects of high energy consumption, low efficiency, large tail gas dust amount, large equipment floor area, nonuniform drying and dehydration, agglomeration, difficulty in ensuring the product quality and the like. Microwave is a highly efficient energy source known as "the second group of human flames". The microwave changes the random distribution state of the polar molecules in the material into ordered arrangement, and the continuous movement and the mutual friction generate heat, so that the inside and the outside of the material are synchronously heated, and the microwave heating device has the advantages of high microwave heating speed, uniform heating, energy conservation, high efficiency, cleanness and sanitation. I developed a new lithium fluoride drying device by combining the microwave technology.
