Description

Smelting method and equipment for continuous blowing and refining of cupronickel sulfonium
Technical Field
The invention relates to continuous converting and refining of white copper matte, in particular to a smelting method and equipment for continuous converting and refining of white copper matte.
Background
Copper matte (also called matte) is a product of copper smelting, and the main components of copper, iron and sulfur. The purpose of copper matte converting is to oxidize and remove iron and sulfur in the copper matte to produce blister copper with 98.5% -99.5% copper, and rare noble metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and the like enter the blister copper. Copper matte produced by smelting has a very low copper content for a long time, generally about 50%. Over 90% of copper matte in the world is blown by a PS converter, and needs to be periodically operated in two stages of slag formation and copper production, and SO is caused by the periodic operation 2 The flue gas is discontinuous, copper matte is added into the converter through a crane, the automation level is low, a charging port frequently emits smoke, the operation environment is poor, and the service lives of a furnace lining refractory material and a tuyere are short.
The modern smelting process can directly produce high-grade white copper matte in the smelting stage, and the main component of white copper matte is Cu 2 S, pure Cu 2 S copper content theory is 79.9%. The copper content of the white matte is about 75%, the iron content is less than 2%, the sulfur content is about 20%, and the white matte is directly copper-making without a slag-making period in the converting process, so that the requirements of continuous converting production of qualified blister copper can be completely met. The existing continuous converting method mainly comprises two major types, namely flash converting, wherein the flash converting is matched with flash smelting, white copper matte produced by flash smelting is subjected to wind water quenching and granulating, then is dried and sprayed into a flash converting furnace to convert to produce crude copper, and the defects are that the process is complex, the flow is long, and a residual anode cannot be added into the furnace. Another type is molten pool converting, multi-gun top converting, and molten white copper matte produced by smelting is continuously fed through chuteFlowing into a molten pool converting furnace, automatically adding residual anode into the furnace through a lifting machine, adding flux limestone, blowing oxygen-enriched air into the furnace through a spray gun, and adding O in the oxygen-enriched air 2 Rapidly and violently oxidizing Fe and S in copper matte, wherein most of Fe is combined with CaO to form calcium ferrite slag after being oxidized to form FeO (CaO-Fe is adopted in a converting stage slag system of Mitsubishi method) 3 O 4 -Cu 2 O system), the blister copper formed by blowing is sunk into the lower part of the furnace body in a layering way, and then flows into the anode furnace through the siphon inlet and the chute. Cold charge is added to adjust the furnace temperature if necessary.
Although copper matte converting achieves continuous operation, the fire refining of blister copper has been a periodic operation. The chemical reaction process of fire refining is divided into two stages of oxidation and reduction, sulfur is oxidized and volatilized in the oxidation stage, impurities such as zinc, lead, antimony, nickel, arsenic, tin and the like are oxidized and slagging and removed, and Cu generated by peroxidation is reduced in the reduction stage 2 O is reduced to Cu, and the oxygen content in the anode copper is reduced. The time for one refining cycle takes 8-24 hours, typically around 12 hours. Including feeding, melting, oxidation, reduction, and anode casting. Because the copper matte converting adopts converter converting at the moment, the converter converting is also a periodic operation, the converting and refining period is difficult to match, and the period is prolonged because of the need of repeated feeding and waiting for material heat preservation. The time for oxidation in one refining cycle is 1.5-2 hours, the time for reduction is 0.5-1.5 hours, and the actual oxidation and reduction times are only 2.0-3.5 hours. Most of the time is used for charging (0.5-1 hour), keeping the temperature of the material for 4.5-16 hours, pouring slag (0.5 hour) and casting (4-4.5 hours). The raw copper is conveyed and fed by adopting a crane and a ladle, and the automation level is very low.
Along with the popularization and application of the continuous converting technology, the fire refining process of the blister copper is changed, and the main change is that the liquid blister copper automatically flows into an anode furnace without crane and ladle conveying and feeding. One converting furnace is provided with two anode furnaces, the two anode furnaces alternately operate, the operation period is generally 12 hours, when one anode furnace is fed, the other anode furnace is subjected to oxidation, reduction and casting, and one operation period still has 3-4 hours of waiting time.
Before the invention is proposed, the copper matte converting and the blister copper fire refining are integrated by the existing enterprises, and are completed in a bottom blowing furnace. It has the following drawbacks: firstly, it requires 2 furnaces for periodic alternating operation, still intermittent operation, with a period of 12 hours, and when one anode furnace is fed, the other anode furnace is subjected to oxidation, reduction and casting. And secondly, stopping blowing when the oxidation stage is converted into the reduction stage or the reduction stage is finished, and rotating the bottom blowing furnace to replace the spray gun.

The invention adopts a shaft furnace-tilting converter structure, separates oxidation and reduction processes, realizes the continuity of production process, improves the production efficiency, can achieve larger productivity by using a device with smaller size, and greatly reduces the purchase cost of equipment.

Endpoint control of reduction O in copper bath 2 The copper is reduced to below 0.2 percent, so that anode copper containing more than 99.1 percent of Cu is obtained and is sunk into the lower part of the deep hearth and continuously discharged through a siphon discharge outlet for casting. The continuous operation is adopted, and the parameters of the reduced copper liquid are basically consistent with those of the copper liquid prepared by common refining.

The inserted sleeve spray gun is used for spraying flux and reducing agent, and is convenient to measure and flexible to operate. The device is matched with an oxygen-enriched spray gun, the external diameter of the device is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the oxygen-enriched spray gun by 1-2mm, the device is specially used for spraying reducing agent, flux and the like into a furnace, and the device is clamped on the oxygen-enriched spray gun by rotating for a certain angle after being inserted into the oxygen-enriched spray gun, so that the device is quite convenient to assemble and disassemble. The inserted sleeve spray gun is divided into an inner sleeve layer and an outer sleeve layer, the central tube is used for conveying jet gas or powdery fuel, and the annular tube is used for conveying air or oxygen-enriched air.
The top blowing spray gun and the oxidation spray gun are provided with air locking ball valves, when the spray gun conveys oxygen-enriched air, the steel balls fall down, and the steel balls are propped against the bushing by utilizing wind pressure, so that air is not leaked. When the sleeve spray gun (or steel drill) is inserted, the steel ball is lifted upwards, and the sleeve spray gun (or steel drill) can be inserted into the furnace. The gun barrel of the oxygen-enriched spray gun is made of high-temperature-resistant cast steel and is provided with water cooling protection.
The reducing agent can be gas or powder solid, and air or oxygen-enriched air must be injected simultaneously to convert methane in natural gas into CO and H 2 When pulverized coal is used, C can be converted into CO. The actual injected oxygen amount is about 50% of the theoretical calculated oxygen amount, so that the generated gas is CO, and stable reducing atmosphere is always maintained in a local area near the anode copper outlet, thereby ensuring that the oxygen content of the anode copper is lower than 0.2%.
