The preparation system of the high-nickel matte takes the nickel-iron alloy as the raw material, thereby greatly solving the problem of preparing the high-nickel matte by taking the nickel sulfide ore as the raw material; meanwhile, the preparation system is simple in structure, high in productivity and convenient for industrial popularization.
In order to further increase the utilization of the liquid sulfur-containing material, in a preferred embodiment, the preparation method comprises: spraying protective gas into the vulcanizing device 31 through a feed inlet 311; when the feed inlet 311 is completely immersed in the molten pool of the vulcanizing device 31, the spraying of the shielding gas is stopped, and the liquid sulfur-containing material is fed into the vulcanizing device 31, and simultaneously air is sprayed into the vulcanizing device 31 through the air nozzle 322; when the liquid sulfur-containing material is stopped, the protective gas is sprayed into the vulcanizing device 31 through the feed opening 311 again.
The shielding gas may be any gas that does not participate in the sulfiding reaction and converting process. Preferably, the shielding gas includes, but is not limited to, nitrogen, inert gas, or steam.
In order to further improve the spraying efficiency and the vulcanization rate of the liquid sulfur-containing material, thereby further improving the yield of subsequent high-nickel matte and simultaneously improving the separation rate of the high-nickel matte and the smelting slag, in a preferred embodiment, the liquid sulfur-containing material is added into a vulcanizing device 31 in a spraying manner, the spraying pressure is 0.4-0.5 MPa, and the ratio of the total weight of the sulfur element in the liquid sulfur-containing material to the total weight of the nickel element and the iron element in the nickel-iron alloy is 1: (1-5) and the air pressure is 0.08-0.13 MPa.

In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the vulcanizing smelting process is 1200-1350 ℃, and the temperature of the blowing process is 1200-1500 ℃. The temperature of the sulfidizing process and the temperature of the blowing process include, but are not limited to, the above ranges, and it is advantageous to improve the yield of the high nickel matte by limiting them to the above ranges.
In order to further improve the efficiency of the injection of the oxygen-containing gas, in a preferred embodiment, the process comprises: and (2) injecting oxygen-containing gas into the converting device 41, wherein the injection pressure of the oxygen-containing gas is 0.08-0.13 MPa, and the concentration of the oxygen in the converting process is 50-100%, and more preferably 70-100%.
It should be noted that the high nickel matte is a vulcanized eutectic containing nickel, copper, cobalt, iron and the like produced in the pyrometallurgical process, and the total content of nickel, copper and cobalt is more than 70%, and the content of iron is less than 4.5%. Preferably, the high nickel matte comprises 60-80% of nickel element, 3-4.5% of iron element and 10-20% of sulfur element in percentage by weight of the high nickel matte.
In a preferred embodiment, the method for preparing high-nickel matte further comprises detecting the components of the nickel matte, and performing the converting process when the composition of the nickel matte reaches a predetermined index, wherein the predetermined index is as follows: the nickel matte comprises 30-50% of iron element, 10-20% of sulfur element and 35-55% of nickel element by weight percentage, and the melting point is 1200-1250 ℃.
Because the composition of the nickel matte can influence the yield of the high nickel matte in the converting process to a certain extent, the composition of the nickel matte obtained through the vulcanizing process is limited in the range, so that the nickel element and the iron element can be transferred into the nickel matte as much as possible, and the influence of other impurity elements in the nickel-antimony alloy is removed, thereby enabling the high nickel matte to be produced in the converting process.
In the above-mentioned vulcanization, the first fusing agent may be one commonly used in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the first flux is quartz and/or silica. More preferably silica. The iron in the ferronickel alloy can be combined with the silicon dioxide after being oxidized to form iron silicate low melting slag. Compared with other fluxes, the silicon dioxide used as the first flux can better reduce the smelting temperature in the vulcanization process, and simultaneously further remove impurity elements and improve the grade of the high-nickel matte. In order to further improve the grade and yield of the high-nickel matte, the adding amount of the first fusing agent is more preferably 15-30% in percentage by weight of the nickel-iron alloy.
Preferably, the second fusing agent is selected from quartz stone and/or silicon dioxide, and the adding amount is 15-30% of the weight percentage of the nickel matte.
In order to further improve the extraction rate of nickel element in the nickel-iron alloy and the yield of high-nickel matte, the composition of the nickel-iron alloy is preferably 60-75 wt% of Fe element, 30-40 wt% of Ni element, 1-3 wt% of C element and 1-3 wt% of Si element.
The grade of ferronickel is between 30 percent and 40 percent, and the ferronickel is added into a vulcanization converter in a melting mode and a solid mode. The molten ferronickel alloy can be fed into the converter through an iron ladle in a batch mode from liquid ferronickel produced by a rotary kiln electric furnace or a molten bath smelting process, and the temperature of the molten ferronickel alloy is about 1500 ℃; after being weighed in the blowing process, the solid ferronickel is continuously added into a vulcanization converter together with a fluxing agent.
A part of nickel matte needs to be reserved when the intermediate nickel matte is discharged after the vulcanization process is finished, and because the temperature of molten ferronickel alloy is about 1500 ℃ when the molten ferronickel alloy is added into the vulcanization device, a certain amount of nickel matte needs to be maintained in the vulcanization device so as to reduce the temperature of a molten pool caused by adding the ferronickel alloy to the greatest extent. Meanwhile, the stored nickel matte is also beneficial to reducing the fluctuation of the chemical composition of the nickel matte and preventing the liquefaction temperature of the nickel matte from rising too much. Since the inside of the vulcanizing device always holds a large amount of nickel matte as a stock, the vulcanizing converter operation is regarded as a semi-continuous operation.
The intermediate nickel matte is received from the sulfidisation plant via a ladle, air is blown into the converting bath to oxidise the iron therein, and a silica fluxing agent is added for slagging. Slag is periodically removed through the converter mouth. When the iron content in the nickel matte is reduced to 4.5%, the nickel matte is discharged from the converter mouth.
The present application is described in further detail below with reference to specific examples, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention as claimed.
