Method for preparing calcium carbide by adopting waste slag in calcium carbide production process
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of calcium carbide, in particular to a method for producing calcium carbide by using waste slag in the calcium carbide production process as a raw material and utilizing heat energy of liquid calcium carbide discharged from a calcium carbide furnace.
Background
In the production process of calcium carbide, calcium carbide furnace burden mainly comprises quicklime and coke, and calcium carbide is generated after heating reaction, and the reaction equation is as follows:
in the production process of calcium carbide, a large amount of consumption is neededThe heat energy is obtained by converting electric energy, so a large amount of electric energy is consumed, about 3500kwh of electric energy is consumed for producing one ton of calcium carbide, and the consumed electric energy is greatly higher than the theoretical value 1630kwh/tCaC of calcium carbide production2. The melting point of calcium carbide is 2300 deg.C, and the melting point is reduced due to the inclusion of about 20% of impurities. And the calculation is carried out according to the reported value of the book of reprinting calcium carbide production and deep processing products of chemical industry press publication in 2001: 53.4% of the electric energy, namely 1870KWH, is wasted in the production process. In particular to liquid calcium carbide in a molten state when discharged from a furnace, the temperature is up to 2120 ℃, the temperature is up to 1650 ℃ when reaching to the complete solidification temperature, and the temperature difference is up to 470 ℃. This not only wastes energy, but also extends the cooling cycle of the calcium carbide. In order to exploit the potential, a part of high-temperature heat energy of liquid calcium carbide is fully utilized, and the part of latent heat of the liquid calcium carbide is used for producing steamHowever, this greatly increases the investment and cannot reduce the energy consumption for calcium carbide production.
In addition, in the production process of the calcium carbide, most of raw materials used are quicklime and coke, and the traditional process is to crush the quicklime and the coke into 5-30mm in size, then screen out the quicklime with the diameter of more than 5mm and the coke with the diameter of more than 3mm as raw materials, screen out the quicklime with the diameter of less than 5mm and the coke with the diameter of less than 3mm as waste slag, and remove the waste slag by screening, wherein the waste slag accounts for about 15% of the total amount. Coke powder is generally sold at a low price, lime powder is generally stacked, and the lime powder has strong alkalinity, so that environmental pollution is caused. In order to utilize waste calcium carbide slag, the Chinese patent office discloses a production method of calcium carbide with the publication number of 1095750: the method comprises the steps of proportioning a powdered carbon raw material and a quicklime raw material according to a certain proportion, uniformly spraying a small part of the amount of the quicklime to be added into a furnace, uniformly mixing the rest of the quicklime raw material and the powdered carbon raw material into the furnace, and carrying out production by closed-arc operation, wherein the method has the biggest problem that air cannot be well exhausted, and ventilation pipelines are easily blocked and environment pollution is easily caused; some methods are characterized in that after the raw ash powder and the coke powder are prepared, a layer of mixture is paved in an electric arc furnace before calcium carbide is produced, so that the aim of saving raw materials is fulfilled, however, the method has very limited waste calcium carbide slag and cannot fundamentally solve the problem;
before the invention is put forward, technicians in the field of calcium carbide production are always troubled by the two technical problems, how to simultaneously solve the two problems by adopting one technical scheme becomes a greater technical problem in the technical field, and no feasible technical scheme is put forward so far.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a method for producing calcium carbide by using waste slag in the calcium carbide production process as a raw material and utilizing the latent heat of liquid calcium carbide.
The purpose of the invention is realized as follows:
through careful study on the production process of calcium carbide, the temperature of liquid calcium carbide discharged from a calcium carbide discharging pot is 2120 ℃, the freezing point is 1650 ℃, and a large amount of heat needs to be released in the process of naturally cooling the liquid calcium carbide into solid calcium carbide, wherein the heat comprises two aspects, namely, the heat released by the liquid calcium carbide when the temperature of the liquid calcium carbide is lowered from 2120 ℃ to 1650 ℃, and the liquid calcium carbide is not solidified; the second is the phase transformation heat released from liquid calcium carbide at 1650 ℃ to solid calcium carbide at 1650 ℃. The inventor finds that the maximum heat available value in the calcium carbide discharging pot is phase change heat which almost accounts for more than 50% of the whole heat available value and is stable and unchangeable; meanwhile, it has been found that when the temperature is over 1650 ℃, the quicklime and the coke react to form calcium carbide, that is, the temperature condition provided by the liquid calcium carbide just discharged from the furnace can meet the requirement ofcalcium carbide reaction.
Based on this, the present inventors considered using the waste slag from the production of calcium carbide, but these powdered quicklime and coke could not be directly added to the liquid calcium carbide, because these powdered raw materials easily cause the clogging of the exhaust passage and the environmental pollution, and could not be industrially implemented. Therefore, it must be pretreated, but must be guaranteed to react sufficiently in the liquid calcium carbide, and the following method is obtained through a large number of experiments:
firstly, mixing powdery calcium oxide and carbon raw materials in proportion to obtain a mixture, then grinding the mixture into powdery materials with the diameter of 0.3-0.01mm, then filling the mixture into a container capable of being carbonized, finally putting the container capable of being carbonized containing the mixture into molten calcium carbide just taken out of a calcium carbide pot in the calcium carbide pot to react to generate new calcium carbide, and releasing carbon monoxide to burn by heat to generate dark red flame.
Wherein the particle size of the calcium oxide is 0.5-5 mm; the grain diameter of the carbon raw material is less than 5 mm;
in the process of discharging from the heating furnace, after a reaction mixture consisting of calcium oxide packaged by a carbonizable container and a carbon raw material is added into liquid calcium carbide, the liquid calcium carbide is uniformly mixed and heated through the flow and convection of the liquid calcium carbide, when the temperature is higher than about 1650 ℃, the carbonizable container is rapidly carbonized, and simultaneously the mixture in the liquid calcium carbide is reacted to generate calcium carbide, wherein the reaction is obviously capable of being carried out because the temperature range of the molten calcium carbide just discharged from the calcium carbide pot is 2120-1650 ℃, which is in accordance with the reaction condition of the calcium carbide.
Meanwhile, the inventor also considers that the weight and the temperature reduction of the molten calcium carbide just taken out of the calcium carbide pot are limited, so the heat quantity released by the calcium carbide pot is also constant, that is, the weight of the added reaction mixture consisting of the calcium oxide and the carbon raw material is also within a certain range, and through a large number of experiments, the inventor finds that the weight of the added reaction mixture consisting of the calcium oxide and the carbon raw material is ensured to be within 15 percent of the total weight of the molten calcium carbide just taken out of the calcium carbide pot, and if the added quantity exceeds the value, the reaction mixture consisting of the calcium oxide and the carbon raw material cannot be completely reacted.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
firstly, the waste slag generated in the production of calcium carbide is used as a raw material, so that the purpose of waste utilization is achieved, the environmental pollution is reduced, and the production cost is indirectly reduced by about 10%; secondly, the latent heat of the calcium carbide in a molten state is fully utilized, so that on one hand, energy is saved, on the other hand, the cooling time of the liquid calcium carbide is shortened, and from the industrial point of view, the method can add mixed raw materials in each production process, and has more superiority in continuous production operation, so that the process for producing the calcium carbide is perfected; more importantly, the invention organically combines the technologies of waste utilization and energy saving, greatly reduces the production cost,and has particularly important significance in production practice.
