Top-blown oxidation-reduction method for refining furnace
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal metallurgy, and particularly relates to a top-blown redox method of a refining furnace.
Background
The flash converting process is a suspension reaction, the sulfur content of the crude copper is high (about 0.1 percent), the refining furnace can utilize the material waiting gap to carry out pre-oxidation (about 2 hours) only after the raw copper is fed to 300t, and reduction can be carried out after formal oxidation for 3 hours is needed after the feeding is finished. When the blister copper contains more than 0.1% of sulfur, the oxidation time is still longer.
The oxidation-reduction mode of the refining furnace at the present stage is mainly that an oxidation-reduction opening is built, a pre-formed oxidation-reduction opening is prefabricated, and the like, a brick body and an oxidation-reduction gun are immersed below the copper liquid, and blown compressed air and a reducing agent are in direct contact with the copper liquid to generate oxidation-reduction reaction. The brick body in the area is particularly seriously scoured and worn, the service life of the brick body is only about 1 month, and the service life can be reduced after the oxidation-reduction time is prolonged. Simultaneously, the refining furnace heating uses rare oxygen combustion system, and natural gas and oxygen are blown in from headwall department and are kept warm, heat up, because of refining furnace is great, flame position also can change when the refining furnace is in different operation positions, and the position barrel brick that leads to being close to end department burns and decreases comparatively seriously, influences the refining furnace life-span.
