Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotary gas dispersion device for the treatment of a bath of liquid metal and, in particular, of aluminum and its alloys.
  • the first consists in passing the liquid metal through inert or active filtration media which retain the impurities either mechanically, chemically or by exerting the two effects;
  • the second way resorts to the use of inert or reactive gases or their mixtures, which are more or less intensely stirred with the liquid metal, in the presence or not of products such as fluxes.
  • gases are injected in the form of small discrete bubbles by means of a device consisting of a rotary shaft secured to a finned rotor, of a fixed sleeve surrounding said shaft and connected to its end. lower than a finned stator: shaft and sleeve are separated by an axial passage in which the gases are transported, then introduced at the level of the fins where they are subdivided into small bubbles and brought into contact with the metal stirred by the rotor.
  • each gas bubble emitted can be small at the time of its formation, and give rise initially and locally to the formation of a fine dispersion, on the other hand, during its progress in the bath, it grows rapidly by coalescence with other bubbles and then forms a coarse dispersion.
  • the liquid-gas exchange is considerably reduced for the parts of the bath which have not been in contact with the gas at its point of emission, hence the random effectiveness of the treatment.
  • it is necessary to find a system in which each of the elementary volumes of the liquid constituting the whole of the bath to be treated can form with the gas this desired fine dispersion in order to obtain optimum efficiency.
  • This rotary gas dispersing device for the treatment of a bath of liquid metal contained in a container comprises a cylinder-shaped rotor equipped with vanes plunging into the bath, connected to a hollow drive shaft serving to supply gas , and is characterized in that the rotor is pierced with pairs of channels, each pair comprising a channel which is used for the passage of the liquid and the other for the passage of the gas, each of these couples opening separately at the same point on the lateral surface of the cylinder so that a fine dispersion of liquid-gas is formed there, which is then distributed in the bath by means of the paddles.
  • the device according to the invention therefore comprises known elements, namely a cylinder-shaped rotor equipped on its side wall with pallets having any contour, placed symmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation and arranged either vertically or obliquely so as to form an upward or downward helix.
  • This rotor is connected, in its center, and in the direction of its axis, to the lower part of a drive shaft whose upper end is connected, via a speed reducer, with a motor which gives it a rotational movement.
  • This shaft is hollow, so as to bring to the level of the rotor a gas admitted at its upper end by means, for example, of a pipe provided with a rotating joint.
  • this shaft is composed of two different materials: one, for the part which plunges into the bath and which is generally graphite, the other, for the emerging part and which can be a corrosion-resistant metal alloy when the treatment gas contains chlorine for example.
  • This part of the tree can be provided with cooling fins to avoid any excessive rise in temperature, which would adversely affect the team's behavior. ment relating to the gas supply, and to the drive mechanism.
  • the particularity of the device resides in the presence, inside the rotor, most often made of graphite, of pairs of gas circulation channels and metal circulation channels pierced in the mass and arranged in an original manner.
  • liquid metal circulation channels As for the liquid metal circulation channels, they have an oblique direction relative to the axis of the rotor and pass right through it, originating either on its lower face or on its upper face, and emerging on the face side, at the precise place where the gas circulation pipes open. This direction is generally inclined between 10 and 60 ° relative to the horizontal. Their section, generally circular, is greater than that of the gas channels, and also varies according to the flow rate of metal which it is desired to treat, but a diameter of between 0.5 and 1.5 cm is perfectly suitable.
  • each gas channel is associated a liquid channel, from where a set of pairs of channels having a common point of emergence in the bath.
  • the liquid metal moves in the channels which are intended for it. This movement takes place from bottom to top or from top to bottom depending on whether the liquid channels originate on the lower or upper face of the rotor.
  • the flow rate obtained is a function of the speed of rotation of the rotor, the number of channels, their section, their inclination relative to the vertical, the difference in level between their ends and the distance between where they take birth and the center of the rotor.
  • the mixture thus produced appearing on the lateral surface of the rotor is distributed immediately by means of paddles throughout the bath where the exchange reactions continue, and before coalescence occurs, the enlargement of the gas bubbles and their bursting at the surface of the bath.
  • the liquid flow rate Due to the numerous parameters which influence the liquid flow rate, it is always possible to adjust these to certain values so as to obtain a complete treatment of all the flow rate of the metal to be treated. Likewise, the gas flow rate can be adjusted to values commonly accepted for the treatment of a given quantity of metal. Thanks to these possibilities of adjusting the geometric parameters indicated above, it is possible to limit oneself to low rotational speeds, which has the advantage of simplifying the technology of the drive mechanism and thus improving the resistance in the material time.
  • Such a device according to the invention can be placed in any container whose content is to be treated, whether it is a ladle, a holding or processing furnace operating continuously or not, whether or not it is equipped with intermediate partitions, whether or not it involves fluxes, whether the gases used are nitrogen, argon, chlorine, or their mixtures, or vapors of halogenated derivatives, or any other gaseous product capable of '' have a favorable action on the purification of the metal.
  • the flow to be treated the desired duration of the treatment
  • several devices can be used, whether they are placed on a single or on several containers placed in series or in parallel.
  • Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of the device along a plane passing through the axis of rotation and the axes of two pairs of channels.
  • Fig. 2 shows, seen from below, a horizontal section along the line X'X of FIG. 1, of the device.
  • Fig. 3 shows, in vertical section, the device installed on a continuous casting ladle.
  • FIG. 3 is a ladle 9 closed by a cover 10, divided into an upstream compartment 11 and a downstream compartment 12 by a partition 13 supplied with liquid by the inlet spout 14 and drained by the outlet spout 15.
  • the liquid is subjected to the action of the device according to the invention, on which we can distinguish the rotor 3 provided with its channels 5 and 7 opening into the bath at 6 and pallets 8, connected via the chamber 4 to the hollow shaft composed of a graphite part 1, sleeved at its upper part on a metal shaft 16 equipped with cooling fins 17 driven by a controlled reducer 18 by a motor 19 and connected to a pipe 20 by means of a rotary joint 21 so as to be able to admit gas 2 coming from an external source.
  • the rotor 3 provided with its channels 5 and 7 opening into the bath at 6 and pallets 8
  • the hollow shaft composed of a graphite part 1, sleeved at its upper part on a metal shaft 16 equipped with cooling fins 17 driven by a controlled reducer 18 by a motor 19 and connected to a pipe 20 by means of a rotary joint 21 so as to be able to admit gas 2 coming from an external source.
  • the liquid enters the channels 7 in the directions 22, rises to 6 where it meets the gases admitted into the chamber 4 in the directions 23 which escape through the channels 5 to form a fine dispersion which is distributed in the bath by the paddles 8 in the direction 24.
  • the present invention is illustrated by the following application example: a pocket 60 cm in diameter and 1 m high has been fitted with a graphite rotor having a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 8 cm.
  • the rotor is provided with eight channels for the passage of metal with a diameter of 1 cm, with a length of 7 cm, inclined with respect to the vertical of 45 ° and with eight channels for the passage of gas, drilled horizontally, and with a diameter of 0.1 cm.
  • the alloy was very gaseous, and presented to the vacuum test under a pressure of 2 Torr, a hydrogen content of 0.85 cm 3 / 100g; at the output, by subjecting this alloy to the same test, it is more noted that a content of 0.14 cm 3/100 g and no occurrence of bubbles,. which shows the effectiveness of the treatment obtained using the claimed device.
  • the present invention finds its application whenever a good dispersion in two-phase liquid-gas mixtures is sought: this is the case in the treatment of liquid metals and, in particular, aluminum or its alloys with a view to '' remove hydrogen and non-metallic impurities.
