Application of Uson-21 Ultrasonic Level Transmitters in Niobium Oxide Production
Production process of niobium oxide
At present, the production of niobium oxide is mainly based on the pressure washing process, which widely applies corrosion-resistant and energy-saving equipment, using chamber pressure filter and a slurry mixing tank to replace the transitional process of the washing tank, this changes greatly improve the production efficiency and metal recovery rate of niobium oxide.
Selection of ultrasonic level transmitter
In the process of niobium oxide production, such as slurry mixing, extraction of Nb liquid, precipitation, pressure filtration, etc., it is necessary to use hydrofluoric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, ammonia water, secondary octanol and other highly corrosive liquids. In order to prevent those liquids from overflowing, it is suggested to select non-contact instruments to detect the liquid level in the residual transfer tank, storage tank, circulating transfer tank and niobium liquid transfer tank. Compared with other non-contact instruments such as radar level meter and external liquid level meter, ultrasonic level transmitters have the characteristics of high cost performance, mature technology and stable performance.
Due to the complex working conditions and harsh environment of niobium oxide production, it is required that the probe of the selected liquid level measuring instrument should be made of anti-corrosion material. Besides, in such a humid environment, it is objectively required that the whole instrument has good sealing performance and high protection level in order to avoid damage to components and affecting the stable operation of the instrument. Most importantly, the intermediate extraction raw materials, intermediate products and niobium oxide itself are all explosive. To ensure production safety, explosion-proof instruments with explosion-proof features are necessary.
Because the selection of ultrasonic level transmitters is directly related to production safety, so after comparison in high cost performance and reliability, the client finally selected Jiwei Uson-21 Ultrasonic Level Transmitter in the production of niobium oxide.
