Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for removing impurities present in gaseous and solid form in a liquid product such as liquid metal contained in a tank such as a transport pocket, of the type comprising a rotor which essentially comprises a rotary shaft carrying its free end capable of being immersed in said liquid product, a member forming a stirring head provided with an internal space connected through an axial channel formed in said rotary shaft to a source of an inert gas and communicating with the outside by through passages passing through the walls of said head.
  • the passages through the walls of said head are formed by channels in limited number and opening out at the level of the lateral walls, for example cylindrical of the head.
  • Each of these channels is associated with a channel which opens at one end into the gas passage channel and through the other end to the outside at the level of the lower surface of the head.
  • the member forming the brewing head has a complex structure and to operate efficiently, the rotary speed of the head must be very high. Usually the minimum value is 400 revolutions per minute. Despite this, it turns out that the distribution of the gas in the form of bubbles in the liquid is not sufficiently uniform and the bubbles do not have a sufficiently small size.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a device which does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the head member is made of a porous material, such as porous graphite, the walls of said head having a porous structure permeable to the gas contained in said cavity inside the head.
  • the head has on its lateral surface a certain number of radial fins, advantageously distributed uniformly around the axis of the head.
  • the envelope in which the radially external surfaces of the fins are inscribed has a frustoconical shape which widens towards the free lower end.
  • Figure 1 there is shown the use of a device 1 according to the invention for removing impurities present in gaseous and solid form, from a liquid metal contained in a transport pocket 2 of this metal. It can be seen that the device has been introduced inside the pocket through an orifice 3 made in the cover of the pocket. At 4 there is shown schematically the closure cap of the orifice 3. The reference 5 designates the level of the liquid metal in the pocket 2.
  • the device 1 according to the invention is formed by a rotor essentially comprising a shaft 7 made of a refractory material such as graphite, which carries at its lower end immersed in the liquid a mixing head 8 and is integral at its upper end with a rotary drive shaft 9.
  • the latter is mounted on a suitable support such as a pivoting frame or arm, of any structure known per se and therefore not shown. Thanks to this support, the device according to the invention is capable of pivoting between a rest position and a position above the tank to be filled, that is to say the bag 2.
  • the device according to the invention formed by the rotor 1 can be introduced into or removed from the pocket 2.
  • the member forming the mixing head 8 of the rotor comprises a substantially cylindrical central part 11, which carries on its external cylindrical surface a number of mixing fins 12 which are distributed regularly around the central part 11
  • the radially outer face 13 of each fin is inclined relative to the axis XX of the rotor, at a predetermined angle ⁇ so that the height a of a fin increases from top to bottom on the head 8.
  • the mixing head 8 has a central chamber 14 which communicates through an axial channel 15 in the rotor shaft 7 with a source of an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, via an axial channel 16 formed in the rotational drive shaft 9 of the stirring head 8.
  • a source of an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon
  • the latter is made of a porous refractory material, permeable to inert gas, such as for example porous graphite.
  • inert gas such as for example porous graphite.
  • the mixing and gas outlet head 8 of the device according to the invention can be assembled to the rotor 7 in any suitable manner, advantageously by screwing, as in the example shown.
  • the head 8 has above its chamber 14 in communication with the latter a threaded recess 19 into which a threaded axial end piece 20 of the rotor shaft 7 is screwed.
  • the device according to the invention appears from the description of its structure which has just been made.
  • the device in the form of a rotor 1 of the invention is brought by pivoting and then by vertical movement into its working position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the rotor is driven in rotation and the inert gas is sent to the chamber 14 of the head, which allows the formation of very fine bubbles which are distributed regularly in the liquid metal, as has been described above.
  • Due to the porous structure of the head 8 of the rotor it is advantageous to subject the head to a preheating treatment to remove moisture from the pores of the head.
  • a preheating tank, not shown is advantageously used, into which the lower part of the head can be immersed, in its rest position before it is pivoted into the working position.
  • the invention allows the formation of much finer bubbles and a better distribution of these in the liquid.
  • the speed of rotation of the head 8 can be lower in the case of the invention, for example of the order of 200 or even 180 to 300 revolutions per minute, while in known devices , the speed must in principle be greater than 400 rpm. All these features of the invention not only allow a better cleaning effect of the liquid, by stirring and degassing, but also provides a considerable time savings compared to known devices.
  • the relatively low rotation speed of the rotor in the case of the invention, the formation of a vortex in the transport pocket is avoided.
  • An advantage of the taper of the fins lies in the fact that the active porous surface through which bubbles enter the bath and thus the shear surface increasing downward, which acts to compensate for the increase in the pressure in the bath.
  • the invention provides a reduction in gas consumption.
  • the good distribution of fine bubbles in the liquid allows an increase in the volume of the transport bags.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ of the fins can vary depending on the nature of the liquid to optimize the operation of the device according to the invention.
  • the central part 11 of the stirring and degassing head 8 can have any suitable shape, different from the cylindrical shape shown.
  • the device according to the invention can be used to remove impurities from any product other than liquid metal. It should also be noted that the sending of the inert gas into the head of the rotor can begin before the latter is put into rotation and still take place after it has stopped.
