Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and provides a method for reducing copper content in slag by smelting reclaimed copper.

Description

Method for reducing copper content in slag by smelting reclaimed copper
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a method for reducing copper content in slag by smelting reclaimed copper.
Background
Copper production can be achieved in two ways: firstly, copper ores are mined from nature, and the other is by recycling secondary copper resources. The traditional copper smelting mainly uses copper ores as raw materials, and most of copper ores exist in the form of sulfides, wherein sulfur contains higher heat. Thus, copper ore is fed into a pyrometallurgical furnace and slag formers are added in a high temperature environment to produce a mixture based on copper, iron and sulfur, i.e. copper sulfur. The copper and sulfur are then fed into a converter for oxidation converting, a slag former is added in a high temperature environment, and iron and sulfur are removed to obtain blister copper. Typically, blister copper has a copper content in excess of 98%. The blister copper is fed to a fire refining furnace where small amounts of impurities are further removed by oxidation-reduction to yield an anode plate having a copper content in excess of 99%. And (3) electrolyzing the anode plate to finally obtain electrolytic refined copper as a final product.
At present, a reverberatory furnace is used for smelting copper, the copper content of slag is generally 20% or more, and the copper loss is large. The grade of the regenerated copper is generally higher, and the smelting of the regenerated copper with higher grade (Cu is more than or equal to 95 percent) is easy to lead to further improvement of copper content in slag once the process is not controlled in place.
CN201110089504.1 discloses a method for depletion of copper refining slag, comprising the steps of: adding the recovered waste copper into a reverberatory furnace, heating and melting, inserting a blast pipe into the copper melt, blowing air, stirring and oxidizing while blowing air to oxidize impurities and part of copper into cuprous oxide; when the section of the copper liquid is brick red, quartz sand is added according to 1.2% -1.4% of the total weight of the charged materials for slagging, so that oxidized impurities such as Fe, pb, sn and the like in the copper liquid and quartz generate silicate slag; covering the slag with carbonaceous reducing agent in the amount of 0.13-0.17% of the total amount of waste copper, inserting blast pipe into copper melt, blowing air, stirring for 5-10 min, and reducing copper into copper liquid phase after some copper has entered slag phase. The copper content in the slag is reduced by about 35 percent, which is favorable for recycling the regenerated copper resource. According to the method, after the slag former is added, a carbonaceous reducing agent is added to cover the slag, and then air is blown in for stirring, so that copper which has entered into the slag phase is reduced and enters the copper liquid phase again, and further copper in the slag is reduced.
However, after the copper in the slag phase is reduced, the slag skimming process is not disclosed, and in actual work, copper liquid needs to be continuously stirred in the slag skimming process, so that the copper liquid is easy to splash and float on the surface of a slag layer to be less than sedimentation reduction, and the slag skimming process is one of the main factors causing higher copper content in the slag; in addition, in the technical process of the patent, how to control the oxidation process is not disclosed, but uneven oxidation and too deep oxidation can lead to insufficient oxidation of copper materials, so that slag copper is not separated in place, and the copper is another main factor leading to higher copper content of slag.
Based on the above, the technical problems solved by the scheme are as follows: how to further improve the slag type and reduce the copper content of the slag.

Analysis of results:
the reason for the lower copper content of the slag of example 2 compared to example 1 and example 2 is that the oxidation at lower temperature results in lower oxygen content in the copper bath, less high melting point cuprous oxide is produced, more clear separation of slag copper and less copper in the slag skimming.
The slag of example 3 is more copper-containing than example 1 and example 3, because the slag layer requires sufficient settling time to ensure better slag copper clarification. When the slag layer is left standing for a short time, a small amount of copper particles cannot be effectively carried into the slag through the slag layer.
Comparative example 1 and comparative example 1, the slag of comparative example 1 contains more copper because the oxygen content in the copper liquid is excessively high due to oxidation at high temperature, and a large amount of high melting point cuprous oxide is generated between the slag and the copper liquid, resulting in poor slag fluidity, difficult slag skimming, and a large amount of cuprous oxide is carried into the slag along with the slag skimming process.
Comparative examples 1, 3 and 2, the slag of comparative example 2 has the highest copper content because the slag layer of comparative example 2 has the shortest standing time and the copper slag has the worst clarifying effect.
The reason for the highest copper content in the slag of comparative examples 1, 2 and 3 is that the copper liquid splashed during slag removal is carried into the slag along with the slag removal process after the copper liquid is placed on the slag layer for clarification.
In comparative examples 1 and 4, the slag of comparative example 4 contains higher copper because the oxidation of comparative example 4 is not uniform enough and the oxidation of impurities is not uniform, and a large amount of impurity oxides cannot be effectively combined with the slag former to produce a low melting point material, resulting in high slag melting point and poor slag fluidity. And the operation of comparative example 4 is liable to cause an increase in oxidation time, thereby locally generating more high-melting-point cuprous oxide, further deteriorating slag type. The above factors result in a slag with higher copper content.
While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
