ULTRASONIC SMELT DISSOLVING AND SHATTERING SYSTEM

The problem of runaway smelt explosions due to a sudden influx of smelt into a dissolving tank is mitigated by a system comprising a dissolving tank (135); a spout (105) adjacent to the dissolving tank (135)， wherein the spout is configured to convey a volume of smelt (110) into the dissolving tank (135); an agitator (140) disposed in the dissolving tank (135)， wherein the agitator (140) is configured to mix the volume of smelt (110) into a dissolving liquid (130) in the dissolving tank (135); and an ultrasonic transducer (150) configured to emit ultrasonic waves (153) within the dissolving tank (135) at a frequency above 20 kilohertz. A system comprising the ultrasonic transducer may further comprise sensors and a data processor configured to regulate the properties of the ultrasonic waves in response to process conditions affecting the smelt flow.

因编号为110的熔融物料（smelt）突然涌入编号为135的溶解槽（dissolving tank）引发的熔融物料喷爆失控问题，可通过下述系统予以缓解：该系统包含编号135的溶解槽；编号105的溜槽，该溜槽紧邻上述溶解槽，配置为将定量熔融物料(110)输送至溶解槽内；设置于溶解槽内的编号140的搅拌器（agitator），用于将该定量熔融物料混合至编号130的溶解液（dissolving liquid）中；以及编号150的超声换能器（ultrasonic transducer），其配置为向溶解槽内发射频率高于20千赫兹的编号153的超声波（ultrasonic waves）。搭载该超声换能器的系统还可增设传感器与数据处理器，用于响应影响熔融物料流动的工艺工况，调节超声波的各项参数。
