System and method for testing particle size, effective particle size and uniformity coefficient of ion exchange resinTechnical Field
The invention relates to a method for testing granularity, effective grain size and uniformity coefficient, in particular to a system and a method for testing the granularity, the effective grain size and the uniformity coefficient of ion exchange resin.
Background
The ion exchange resin has excellent exchangeability, adsorptivity and selectivity, and is widely applied to filtering, desalting and deep water purification in the industries of thermal power condensate water treatment, nuclear power reactor water treatment, chemical production waste liquid treatment and the like. The particle size, the effective particle size and the uniformity coefficient are important technical indexes for judging the particle size and the particle size distribution condition of the ion exchange resin, and relate to links such as equipment selection, process design and the like of a related industrial system.
Therefore, the new ion exchange resin entering the factory must be checked and detected, and the old ion exchange resin in service must be monitored and detected, so as to master the conditions of resin granularity, effective particle size and uniformity coefficient, find problems in time and eliminate hidden troubles.
The existing testing method is GB/T5758-2001 'determination of particle size, particle size and uniformity coefficient of ion exchange resin', and the specific method is as follows: weighing ion exchange resin samples for acid-base pretreatment. The test sieve is erected in a screening funnel containing demineralized water, a certain volume of pretreated sample particles are measured by using a measuring cylinder, and the pretreated sample particles are transferred to the test sieve. Through continuous up-down and left-right sieving, the sample particles vibrate in the desalted water, after the sieving, the net needs to be washed and cleaned, the sample particles are recovered to the measuring cylinder, and the volume number of the sample particles on the sieve is read and recorded. And replacing the test sieves with different specifications step by step according to the sequence of the pore diameters from large to small, and repeating the test according to the process. The volume ratio of samples screened under different test sieves is obtained through calculation, and the particle size, the effective particle size and the uniformity coefficient are analyzed by utilizing the volume fraction of the resin on the test sieve and a corresponding aperture drawing curve.
Because the process mainly depends on manual screening, the operation steps are complicated, the problems that the meshes of the screen are blocked by resin particles frequently, or the resin particles jump out of the upper edges of the screens frequently occur, and the like, the data processing is complex, the time and the labor are consumed, the influence of factors such as the processing precision and the abrasion degree of the test screen is easy to occur, the repeatability and the reproducibility of a test result are poor, and the test accuracy is poor.
