Description

Method for reducing new steam consumption in alumina production
Technical Field

The leaching step is to heat the leached ore pulp to make it react at certain temperature. The mother liquor evaporation procedure is to make the mother liquor meet the alkali concentration requirement of the circulating mother liquor at the selected dissolution temperature by evaporating and thickening the mother liquor.
The mother liquor evaporation procedure generally adopts the following production process (taking a seven-effect falling film evaporator as an example): a part of the evaporation stock solution sequentially enters a VII and VI effect evaporator for heating evaporation, and VI effect discharging is used as a section of evaporation mother solution; and the other part of the evaporation stock solution sequentially enters a V-IV-III-II-I effect evaporator for heating and evaporating step by step, the I effect discharging material is subjected to flash evaporation, cooling and evaporation through a first-fifth-stage self-evaporator, the fifth-stage self-evaporator discharging material is used as a second-stage evaporation mother solution, and the second-stage evaporation mother solution and the first-stage evaporation mother solution are sent to an evaporation mother solution tank. The low-pressure steam from the pipe network heats the I-effect evaporator, the generated secondary steam is heated step by the II-VII-effect evaporators, and the final-effect secondary steam is condensed by a water cooler.
This method has the following disadvantages: the last effect secondary steam enters the water cooler and needs a vacuum pump to be vacuumized, and meanwhile, a large amount of circulating water is needed for cooling the secondary steam. About 20 to 25 percent of water enters the water cooler after each 1t of water is evaporated from the evaporation stock solution, the heat carried by the steam is about 520 to 650MJ, and 9 to 11t of circulating water is consumed to condense the water. The heat carried by the final-effect secondary steam is not effectively utilized, and the transportation and cooling of the circulating water also need additional consumption of electric energy.
