Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device of the high-gradient magnetic separation technology for separating magnetizable particles from a flowing medium with a filter structure which has a plurality of at least approximately perpendicular to the direction of flow of the medium and viewed in the direction of flow relatively closely arranged wire networks made of non-corrosive, ferromagnetic material contains a predetermined mesh size and thickness of their wires, the wire nets being arranged in a magnetic field directed essentially parallel or antiparallel to the direction of flow of the medium.
  • a separation device is known from DE-PS 26 28 095.
  • the magnetic deposition method takes advantage of the fact that in a suitable magnetic field arrangement a magnetizable particle experiences a force which moves or holds it against other forces acting on it. Such forces are, for example, gravity or hydrodynamic frictional forces in a liquid medium. Separation processes of this type are intended, for example, for steam or cooling water circuits in conventional as well as in nuclear power plants. In the liquid or gaseous medium of these circuits, particles are suspended, which are generally caused by corrosion. When removing these particles from the medium with the aid of a magnetic separation process, however, the difficulty arises that the particles to be separated are very different in their chemical composition, their particle size and their magnetizability.
  • the corrosion products in the secondary circuit of a nuclear power plant consist of various iron oxides, of which the ferrimagnetic magnetite (Fe 3 0 4 ) is the largest, the antiferromagnetic hematite (a-Fe 2 0 3 ) the second largest proportion by weight and paramagnetic hydroxides the rest.
  • a corresponding device contains a cylindrical filter container which is filled with soft iron balls which are arranged in a magnetic field generated by an electrical coil surrounding the filter container.
  • This magnetic field in conjunction with the balls, gives rise to sufficiently high field strength gradients to attach the ferromagnetic particles, which are also transported in a liquid flowing through the filter, to the magnetic poles of the balls.
  • the balls can be demagnetized to clean the filter.
  • the degree of separation of this known device i.e. the ratio of the concentration of suspended matter separated from the spherical filter to the corresponding concentration before entering the filter is relatively small.
  • HGM technology high gradient magnetic separation technology
  • the device to be extracted from the above-mentioned DE-PS 26 28 095 is such an HGM separating device.
  • a central filter space it contains a filter structure made up of a plurality of wire meshes arranged in close succession in the flow direction to form a stack, which are arranged perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium in a relatively strong magnetic field.
  • This magnetic field is directed parallel or antiparallel to the direction of flow of the medium in the area of the filter structure and causes, for example, a magnetic induction in the order of 1 Tesla.
  • the thickness of the wires of the networks made of ferromagnetic material is very small and is, for example, less than 0.1 mm. The magnetic field gradients generated on them are consequently very high, so that even weakly magnetizable particles can be filtered out with this separating device.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore, to improve the above-mentioned separation device so that its degree of separation and their service life are increased.
  • the first filter substructure therefore has the low field strength, and the volume of the easily magnetizable particles is absorbed.
  • the second filter substructure with the high field strength is then reserved for the separation of weakly magnetizable particles.
  • the variation in the wire thickness of the networks of the two filter structures takes into account the fact that the particles to be separated are different with regard to their size and magnetizability. Both measures, namely two or more magnetic field strength ranges and gradation of the wire diameter, lead to a more uniform distribution of the separated particles in the entire filter volume.
  • the advantages associated with this embodiment of the separating device according to the invention can then be seen in particular in a relatively high degree of separation, a slowly increasing pressure drop and in a long service life of the filter structure.
  • the separating device generally designated 2 contains a container 4 which is essentially rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis 3 and which is made of non-magnetic material such as e.g. made of stainless steel.
  • This, for example, vertically arranged container is closed on its upper end face by means of a flange cover 5 and contains a lateral connecting flange 6 in the region of its lateral surface adjoining it.
  • the lower end of the container is designed as a central flange 7.
  • a medium M, in which the particles to be filtered out are suspended, is to be introduced into the interior 8 of the container through the side connecting flange 6, while the filtered medium, designated M ', is discharged again from the container 4 on the flange 7.
  • Each filter substructure 10 and 11 is composed of a predetermined number of filter elements 12 and 13, for example, which have the same extent in the flow direction, so that the ratio of the number of elements 12 of the filter substructure 10 to the number of elements 13 of the filter substructure 1 is approximately the ratio of 1 corresponds to 1 2 .
  • Each of these filter elements has, for example, a hollow cylindrical holding frame in order to hold a plurality, ie at least 50,
  • the filter elements 12 and 13 preferably to be able to accommodate at least 100 nets arranged in close succession in the flow direction, in particular so-called netting blanks.
  • only one of the filter elements 12 and 13 has a portion of the associated networks coarsened by lines 14 and 15, respectively.
  • the nets consist of the finest wires made of non-corrosive, ferromagnetic material, for example made of stainless steel, and have a predetermined mesh size.
  • the networks are held in the individual filter elements 12, 13 or partial filter structures 10, 11 in such a way that they are arranged in the container 4 perpendicular to the direction of flow of the medium M.
  • Adjacent nets 14 and 15 in the filter elements 12 and 13 are at approximately the same short distance of about one millimeter or lie directly on top of one another.
  • a larger number of nets 14 is accommodated in the filter volume of the first filter substructure 10 in accordance with the ratio 11 to 1 2 than in the filter volume of the second filter substructure 11.
  • the mutual spacing of the nets within a filter element 12, 13 and / or are graduated from filter element to filter element, in which case a greater packing density of nets is generally provided after the outlet side of the respective filter substructure than on the corresponding inlet side.
  • the thickness of the wires of the nets 14 on the inlet side denoted by 16 of the first filter substructure 10 should be greater than the thickness of the wires of the nets 15 on the outlet side denoted by 17 of the second filter substructure 11.
  • the networks 14 of the first filter substructure and / or the networks 15 of the second filter substructure can each have the same wire thicknesses. It is particularly advantageous however, when the wire thickness in each of the filter substructures varies in the flow direction of the medium M in such a way that the coarser wires are arranged at the inlet and the finer ones at the outlet. As a result, it is taken into account in each of the two filter substructures that the particles to be separated can vary with regard to their size and magnetizability.
  • the wire thickness of the nets 14 on the inlet side 16 of the first filter substructure 10 is preferably selected to be at least twice as large as the wire thickness of the last nets 15 on the outlet side 17 of the second filter substructure 11.
  • the nets 14 of all filter elements 12 can have the same wire thickness.
  • the networks 15 of the filter elements 13 the same wire size is chosen, which is smaller by the predetermined amount.
  • the wire thickness in at least one of the filter substructures 10 or 11, for example only in the filter substructure 11, can vary from the stronger to the lesser.
  • the thickness of the wires of the nets 14 of the first filter substructure 1Q is less than 0.4 mm, preferably about 0.2 mm, while wires with a thickness of less than 0.1 mm are provided for the nets 15 of the downstream filter substructure 1Q.
  • the nets 14 of the filter elements 12 and / or the nets 15 of the filter elements 13 can also be graduated in terms of their mesh size in such a way that the nets with the larger mesh size are each arranged on the inlet side and the nets with the smaller mesh size on the outlet side. In general, mesh sizes between 1.0 mm and 0.1 mm are provided for the nets 14 and 15.
  • the first filter substructure 1Q should be exposed to a largely homogeneous magnetic field directed parallel or antiparallel to the direction of flow of the medium M.
  • This magnetic field is generated by a magnetic coil 18 arranged in the area of the filter substructure 10 around the container 4 and in this filter substructure causes a magnetic flux density B 1 indicated by an arrowed line, which is generally between 0.01 Tesla and 0.1 Tesla.
  • the second filter substructure 1 is also enclosed by a magnet coil 19, which is designed for a magnetic flux density B 2 in this filter substructure between approximately 0.1 Tesla and 1.0 Tesla.
  • the flux density B 1 caused by the coil 18 in the filter substructure 10 should be lower, preferably at most half as large as the flux density B 2 generated by the coil 19 in the downstream filter substructure 1.
  • each of these coils is still surrounded by an iron jacket 20 or 21 so that only the side of the coil facing the respective filter substructure remains open.
  • your container 4 made of non-magnetic stainless steel has an inner diameter of about 400 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm.
  • the first filter substructure 10 is composed over a length 11 of approximately 500 mm of 1000 network blanks 14 of non-corroding, ferromagnetic stainless steel stacked directly on top of one another within 11 filter elements 12.
  • Net blanks 14 with wire thicknesses of 0.2 mm and mesh sizes of approximately 1 mm are provided on the inlet side 16 of the filter substructure 10, while the net blanks 14 made of wires with 0.1 mm thickness and mesh sizes are provided on the outlet side of the filter substructure 10 facing the filter substructure 11 of 0.2 mm.
  • the subordinate filter substructure 11 contains, over a length I 2 of approximately 250 mm, approximately 500 network blanks 15 lying one on top of the other in 6 filter elements 13, which have wire thicknesses of approximately 0.1 mm and mesh sizes of 0.2 mm on the inlet side facing the filter substructure 10 the outlet side 17 mesh blanks 15 with wire thicknesses of 0.05 mm and mesh sizes of 0.1 mm are provided.
  • the values for the wire thicknesses and mesh sizes between the values of the respective inlet and outlet sides are graduated within the two filter substructures 10 and 11.
