Wet water glass production plant

Abstract

The IGPC Engineering Department designed basic projects for a wet hydrate dissolution plant, using technology developed in the IGPC laboratories. Several projects were completed: technological, machine, electrical, automation. On the basis of these projects, a production plant of a capacity of 75,000 t/y was manufactured, at "Zeolite Mira", Mira (VE), Italy, in 1997. and 1998, increasing detergent zeolite production, from 50,000 to 100,000 t/y. Several goals were realized by designing a wet hydrate dissolution plant. The main goal was increasing the detergent zeolite production. The technological cycle of NaOH was closed, and no effluents emitted, and there is no pollution (except for the filter cake). The wet water glass production process is fully automatized, and the product has uniform quality. The production process can be controlled manually, which is necessary during start - up, and repairs. By installing additional process equipment (centrifugal pumps and heat exchangers) technological bottlenecks were overcome, and by adjusting the operation of autoclaves, and water glass filters and also by optimizing the capacities of process equipment

Technological procedure for processing the quartz resources in order to obtain the assortment for water glass

“…It is also used as a binder for preparing a mold and coating procedure code of casting in order to allow easier separation of the castings. Also, water glass is widely used in the textile and paper industry as a bleaching agent [1][2][3][4]. Data about the deposit of quartz raw material "Bijela Stijena -Skočić" are given in the study of Geology and Mining of Project of exploitation [5].…”
