Description

Suspension side-blowing electric heating smelting furnace and smelting method of iron-based minerals
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a suspension side-blowing electrothermal smelting furnace and a smelting method of iron-based minerals.
Background
At present, in the nonferrous and ferrous metallurgy industries, suspension/rotary floating smelting belongs to a modern intensified smelting process, and smelting equipment of the smelting process is called a flash furnace (or a rotary floating furnace) in the industry, and can be applied to smelting of various metals such as iron, copper, nickel, lead, solid waste and the like.
Taking iron-making as an example, the iron-making process can be divided into blast furnace iron-making and non-blast furnace iron-making, wherein blast furnace iron-making accounts for the main part, and non-blast furnace iron-making mainly comprises two technologies of direct reduction and smelting reduction. The direct reduction process comprises a rotary kiln-electric furnace, a rotary hearth furnace-electric furnace, a shaft furnace-electric furnace and the like. The smelting reduction process comprises HIsmelt, corex, finex and the like. The steel production process in China mainly adopts a long process of coking-sintering-blast furnace-converter, while the iron-making process mainly adopts the coking-sintering-blast furnace accounts for 60 percent of total energy consumption, the production cost accounts for 70 percent of the cost of steel per ton, and the pollutant emission accounts for 90 percent of the total amount. Therefore, the blast furnace iron-making process has the problems of long flow, high energy consumption, serious pollution and the like, and strongly depends on metallurgical coke. The non-blast furnace ironmaking technology is mainly developed because the blast furnace smelting process has long flow, sintered ore or pellet ore and coke are required to be used in the smelting process, the coking coal resource is in short supply, the energy consumption of the coking process is high, and the pollution is serious.
The direct utilization of the fine ore can save the pelletizing process and the corresponding energy consumption, reduce the environmental pollution, and the fine ore has small particle size and large specific surface area, and can be more fully contacted with reducing gas in the reduction process, thereby strengthening the mass transfer and heat transfer processes between iron oxide and gas, greatly improving the reduction kinetic conditions, further improving the production efficiency, and fundamentally solving the problems of high energy consumption of the production process, serious environmental pollution and the like. Based on this background, flash furnaces have been in operation. Such as:

The flash furnace enables each part of a molten pool to be directly influenced by side blowing by arranging the side-blowing molten pool section with the inner width smaller than 3 m, particularly, the central part can be blown through, heat is supplemented for the molten pool in the side blowing aspect, and the molten pool forms a liquid melt environment with good fluidity, so that the functions of slagging, sedimentation, layering, discharge and the like of slag and metal are realized, meanwhile, the side blowing device can also provide a reducing agent for the molten pool, the reduction of the residual metal oxide to be smelted in the slag layer is completed, and the recovery rate of the metal is improved.
Chinese patent application No. 201210179226.3 discloses a flash-metallurgical method for iron, in which powdery dry iron ore having a large specific surface area is directly injected into a hot reaction tower space through a nozzle provided at the top of the reaction tower, without pelletizing, sintering and crushing, and is lowered in a floating state, and high-valence iron oxides in the iron ore are partially reduced into low-valence iron oxides and a part of metallic iron while being rapidly heated to about 1200 ℃. The upper part in the molten pool is provided with a layer of coke or other carbonaceous filtering layer which is hot at about 1550 ℃, the side wall of the filtering layer of the molten pool is also provided with a side-blowing nozzle of pulverized coal or other reducing agents, and oxygen-enriched air at high temperature or normal temperature is adopted. The low-valence iron oxide is further reduced into metallic iron in the filter layer. The generated metallic iron and slag are layered in the molten pool and are continuously or periodically discharged. The generated flue gas is discharged after being dedusted by a reburning waste heat boiler or is sent to a hot air furnace as fuel.
Chinese patent application No. 201410163342.5 discloses a flash iron-making equipment and an iron-making method for drying and reducing-reducing, which can use high-temperature flue gas generated in a reduction tower to dry and pre-reduce wet concentrate in a pre-reduction drying tower, and then directly convey dry concentrate discharged from the pre-reduction drying tower into the reduction tower for reduction. From this can recycle the high temperature flue gas, avoid high temperature flue gas direct discharge to cause energy loss and environmental pollution simultaneously, and then can show and improve the energy and recycle, avoid high temperature flue gas direct discharge to cause energy loss and environmental pollution simultaneously, show and improve energy utilization and iron-making efficiency.
Chinese patent application No. 201410163977.5 discloses a double-tower flash ironmaking furnace and an ironmaking method, wherein the double-tower flash ironmaking furnace comprises: a furnace bottom, wherein a molten pool is defined in the furnace bottom; the first reduction tower is internally provided with a first tower cavity; a second reduction tower, wherein a second tower cavity is defined in the second reduction tower; the lower ends of the first reduction tower and the second reduction tower are connected with the bottom of the furnace; a partition wall is arranged in the second tower cavity and divides the second tower cavity into an ascending flue and a reduction channel; the first tower cavity is communicated with the lower end of the uptake, and the upper end of the uptake is communicated with the upper end of the reduction channel. The double-tower flash iron-smelting furnace has the advantages of low investment, high productivity and energy conservation.

The method has high iron making efficiency and low cost.
A conventional flash furnace comprises three sections, a reaction tower, a settling tank and a uptake shaft. In the specific smelting process, the powdery mixed material and the reaction gas which are dried until the water content is less than 0.3 percent are sprayed into the reaction tower at a high speed through the nozzle, the powdery material has the advantage of huge specific surface area, so that the physicochemical reactions of the mixed material, such as heating, melting, oxidation/reduction, slagging and the like, are carried out in a flash manner, the formed superheated melt falls into the sedimentation tank, the physicochemical reactions which are not completely finished in the reaction tower are continuously carried out, the superheated melt is separated into metal products and furnace slag, and the smoke and dust generated in the reaction process are discharged through the rising flue. However, in the case of the conventional flash furnace, the chemical kinetic conditions in the sedimentation tank are poor, the molten pool is calm and is not stirred, and the continuous physicochemical reaction speed is slow. Therefore, the slag discharged from the sedimentation tank contains higher valuable metals, and the valuable metals contained in the slag are gradually improved along with the continuous production increase of various production plants, so that huge waste of resources is caused; more importantly, when iron-based minerals are processed, the problems of energy quality mismatch, low reduction rate, high iron content in slag and the like exist.
In addition, the poor chemical kinetic conditions also make the deposition of high-melting-point substances in the sedimentation tank easily occur to form accretions, so that the volume of the sedimentation tank is reduced, and the depletion and sedimentation of valuable metals are further worsened; after accretions are generated, no effective means is available for eliminating the accretions, the accretions around the metal discharge port make the burning mouth difficult, the slag discharge needs to be more frequent, and the pressure of field operation is increased.
In view of this, the present application is specifically made.
