Conveying and feeding: the pre-treated liquid chemical fiber titanium dioxide material will be pumped out from the trough through the feeding pump and conveyed to the high-speed centrifugal atomizer on the top of the dryer through the pipeline. In the feeding process, it is necessary to control the stability of the feeding speed to ensure the atomization effect and the uniformity of the drying process.
(2) Spraying stage
Ultra-high-speed centrifugal atomization: After the liquid chemical fiber titanium dioxide material enters the high-speed centrifugal atomizer, under the action of the centrifugal force of high-speed rotation, the material is rapidly dispersed into extremely small droplets. Atomizer speed is usually up to thousands of revolutions or even tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, the resulting centrifugal force can make the material in the rotating surface stretch for the film, and constantly to the edge of the movement, zui finally left the edge of the formation of atomized state. These tiny droplets of particle size is generally in the tens of microns to hundreds of microns, greatly increasing the contact surface area of the material and hot air.

Finished product collection: After drying, the finished chemical fiber titanium dioxide product exists in the form of ultrafine powder, which is continuously output from the bag filter under the effect of gravity. The cloth bag dust collector utilizes the principle of precision bag filtration to separate the finished product from the exhaust gas, so that the particles of the finished product settle into the bottom collector, while the exhaust gas continues to rise and be discharged.
Packaging and Storage: The collected finished chemical fiber titanium dioxide products are packaged and stored after the necessary testing and quality control. Packaging is usually selected according to the specific requirements of the product and customer needs, such as plastic bags, woven bags, barrels, etc., to ensure that the product is not damp or contaminated during storage and transportation.
(5) Exhaust gas emission stage
Exhaust gas treatment: The exhaust gas generated during the drying process contains a certain amount of water vapor and a small amount of chemical fiber titanium dioxide dust that has not been completely collected, and it needs to be purified and treated by an exhaust gas treatment system before being discharged. The exhaust gas treatment system usually includes dust collector, scrubber and other equipments, which are used to remove the dust particles and harmful gases in the exhaust gas, so as to make it reach the environmental protection emission standard and reduce the pollution to the environment.
Emission by air: The treated exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere by means of a fan. During the discharge process, the temperature, flow rate, dust content and other parameters of the exhaust gas need to be monitored to ensure that the discharge meets the requirements of relevant environmental regulations.

Optimization and improvement of chemical fiber grade titanium dioxide ultra-high speed centrifugal spray dryer
(1) Improve the nature of the material:
Adjust the concentration and viscosity of the material: the concentration and viscosity of chemical fiber titanium dioxide material have a significant effect on the atomization effect. Concentration is too high, the fluidity of the material is poor, it is difficult to form a uniform film on the atomization disk and
Fine droplets; concentration is too low, it will increase the drying cost and time. The best material concentration range can be determined by test, and the material can be diluted or concentrated according to the need. If the viscosity of the material is large, heating, adding diluent and other methods to reduce the viscosity, so that it is easier to atomize.
Filtering impurities: Before feeding, the chemical fiber titanium dioxide material must be strictly filtered to remove the solid impurities. Impurities may clog the nozzle of the atomizer or affect the distribution of the material on the atomization disk, resulting in uneven atomization. Suitable filters, such as screens and cartridges, can be used to ensure the purity of the material.

(3) Optimize the atomizer design:
Select the appropriate atomizing disc: according to the characteristics of chemical fiber titanium dioxide materials and drying requirements, select the appropriate diameter, shape and material of the atomizing disc. Larger diameter atomizing disc can provide greater centrifugal force, which is conducive to atomization; different shapes of atomizing discs, such as flat bottom, convex bottom, concave bottom, etc., will also have an impact on the atomization effect. In addition, the material of the atomizing disc should have good abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity to ensure its stable performance and service life.
Improve the structure of the atomization disc: optimize the structure of the atomization disc, such as increasing the guide groove, changing the shape of the nozzle, etc., which can make the distribution of the material liquid in the atomization disc more uniform and improve the atomization effect. The flow channel can guide the liquid in the centrifugal force to flow more orderly to the edge, the formation of finer and more uniform droplets; optimize the shape of the nozzle can make the liquid sprayed out of the angle and speed is more reasonable, to further improve the atomization effect.

Through precise control of the temperature of the feed tower, the thermal efficiency can be further improved and the energy consumption can be reduced under the premise of guaranteeing the drying effect.
Optimize the hot air circulation system: design a more reasonable hot air circulation path and method, so that the hot air can make full use of its thermal energy and reduce heat loss. For example, a counter-flow hot air circulation system can be used, so that the hot air and materials to form a better heat exchange, improve the utilization rate of heat energy. At the same time, strengthen the sealing performance of the hot air circulation system to prevent leakage of hot air, and further improve the efficiency of energy utilization.

Appropriately increase the hot air temperature, can accelerate the water evaporation rate, so that the droplets in the drying process is easier to break into smaller particles, thus improving the atomization effect. However, care should be taken to avoid excessive temperature leading to material deterioration or adverse effects. At the same time, maintain a stable wind speed, can make the hot air and liquid droplets fully contact, promote water evaporation and atomization process.
Optimize the airflow distribution in the drying chamber: Reasonably design the structure of the drying chamber and the airflow channel, so that the hot air can be evenly distributed in the drying chamber to form a stable airflow field. It can guide the flow direction of hot air and reduce the eddy current and dead angle of airflow by setting devices such as deflector plate and even wind plate, so as to ensure that the liquid droplets in the drying chamber can fully and evenly contact with the hot air, and improve the atomization and drying effect. Optimize the shape and size of the drying chamber: according to the hot air flow law and material drying characteristics, the shape and size of the drying chamber to optimize the design. Reasonable drying chamber structure can make the hot air more evenly distributed in the drying chamber, with the droplets in full contact, reduce the drying dead space, improve the uniformity and efficiency of drying.
