Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for regenerating Foundry sands by adding the old sand in batches Grater for mechanical release of the binder cover from Grain of sand fed out by means of a conveyor deducted from the grater, dusted and into the grater returned and after several cycles if necessary is withdrawn as regenerated sand.
- thermal and mechanical processing methods known for the regeneration of old foundry sands.
- the thermal processes are particularly useful for organic binders that are not thermally stable.
- these processes require a high amount of energy and on the other hand lead to gas emissions what an additional effort in the removal of environmentally harmful Gases required. It is therefore increasing mechanical rubbing and scrubbing processes have been investigated, which is the only effective one anyway with inorganic binders Provide opportunity to remove the binder cover.
- Combined procedures have already been proposed to especially old sand mixtures with different types of binders work up.
- the invention has for its object that mentioned methods for mechanical processing of Process foundry sands to optimize consistently high cleaning efficiency to obtain.
- the invention is based initially on the knowledge that old foundry sands, due to their very different composition (fine substance content, which can still be activated bentonite, still-burned bentonite (oolitized bentonite), coal dust, content of coke and chamotte, which mostly adhere to the grain of sand, and content of pure quartz) also require a varying treatment in the mechanical processing by rubbing and in the separation of the components by dedusting.
- the used sand drawn off from the grater is therefore conveyed into an intermediate vessel, in which the dedusting takes place, and the dedusted old sand is returned to the grater.
- the amount circulated between the grater and the intermediate vessel also plays a role.
- these three process stages namely "rubbing" (R), “dedusting” (E) and “circulation” (U)
- a certain nominal power is installed.
- the invention is based on the further consideration that, depending on the quality, the old sand should be treated in the three process stages with varying effective output in order to achieve optimal regeneration with the lowest possible energy input while at the same time recovering the usable sludge (active bentonite, coal dust) and the least possible grain destruction in the To achieve quartz sand.
- control module M The process stages R, E and U are therefore combined to form a control module M and a plurality of control modules M 1 to M n are provided which differ in the percentage of the effective power of the individual process stages R, E and U in relation to the nominal power.
- These selected control modules M 1 to M n are stored in a control device.
- the control device controls the grater, the conveyor and the dedusting device with a correspondingly selected sequence of the control modules.
- Another quality criterion of the used sand is its moisture, which plays a role especially in the case of clay (bentonite) bound molding sands.
- This residual moisture present in the old sand interferes with the dedusting during sand preparation and influences the necessary addition of water during molding sand.
- the residual moisture and the sludge contained in the old sand form a kind of lubricant that affects the rubbing treatment in the grater.
- the old sand is therefore first dried in a dryer, from there into the tundish and then circulated between it and the grater.
- the used sand is freed of residual moisture in the dryer or dried to a defined low moisture content.
- the process stage "drying" (T) is also included in the control modules M 1 to M n , with a different percentage of the effective power of the dryer based on its nominal power. Not only the grater, the conveyor and the dedusting device, but also the dryer are then controlled with a sequence of control modules selected in accordance with the quality of the used sand.
- the duration of the treatment of the old sand can also be set for each control module M 1 to M n .
- the friction intensity in the grater can be different Type vary, for example by changing the Pressure of the friction tools, by fluidizing the friction space, by quickly withdrawing the used sand from the friction zone etc.
- a grater that offers these possibilities offers is in the older patent application DE-A 42 37 838 described by the applicant.
- the dedusting performance leaves vary in a simple manner that in that Intermediate vessel into which the old sand enters, purge air is promoted in a controlled manner.
- SAND TYPE CONTROL MODULE SEQUENCE Core sand without bentonite sand M 1 , M 2 , M 3 , M 4 Core sand with dry, still burned bentonite sand M 5 , M 2 , M 3 , M 4 Core sand with moist, active bentonite sand M 6 , M 2 , M 3 , M 4 Dry bentonite sand with little core sand M 3 , M 2 , M 3 , M 2 M 3 , M 4 Moist bentonite sand with little core sand M 6 , M 2 , M 3 , M 2 M 3 , M 4 Core sand with relatively much core breakage M 7 , M 2 , M 3 , M 4
- the quality of the used sand can be determined on a sample that is significantly smaller than the batch in an analysis generator consisting of a grinder and a dedusting device, whereby a selection of physical properties of the used sand is measured, e.g. its moisture content, fine fraction (sieve analysis ), Loss of ignition, dust density etc.
- the measured values obtained can be assigned to certain control modules M 1 to M n and a certain sequence of control modules by means of a program.
- the measured values determined by means of the analysis generator can thus be used directly to control the control modules and their sequence on the control device for the regeneration of the old sand.
- Fig. 1 shows a diagram in which the absorbed force is plotted against time.
- the Curve A is typical for old sand with low fines (Slurry), e.g. for a core sand while curve B is typical for old sand with a high proportion of fine particles (Slurry), e.g. a bentonite bond Molding sand.
- Another method to get a quality statement about the old sand is that a sample of the old sand with a certain mass in a microwave dryer dried, the temporal temperature curve in the Sample measured and the temperature curve that qualifies the old sand to control the control modules and their sequence is used.
- a sample with a defined mass is obtained dried in a microwave dryer.
- Fig. 2 are two typical curves are shown.
- the curve C shows an extensive plateau at 100 ° C, the old sand consequently contains a larger proportion of water during the Used sand according to curve D contains practically no residual moisture.
- Another characteristic is the different strengths Rise after the 100 ° C plateau.
- the sharp rise in Curve C is on a noteworthy carbon content attributed to rapid and strong heating of the sample leads, while curve D is relative shows flat constant temperature rise.
- the curve C is typical for wet cast sand, while curve D for a core sand is representative. Because the microwave drying - just like the ramming method described above - can be carried out quickly, from the pressure curve 1 and the temperature curve 2 and from the respective maximum values very much quick statements about the composition of the old sand be won.
- Another way to qualify the old sand, especially with regard to the existing fine and Very fine fractions, is possible according to the invention in that a sample of the old sand in an open sample container filled and pressurized with compressed air from below, whose pressure is set so that all particles below of a certain particle size and suspended and that above the level of the sample the Turbidity of the air flow and its qualifying the old sand time course recorded and the turbidity curve to control the control modules and their sequence is used.
- This turbidity measurement which is inherent in the analysis of Gas / solid dispersions is known, in turn, provides a maximum turbidity value and a time course of the turbidity value. A steep climb and a high one Maximum values speak for bentonite-bound molding sand or a high proportion of the same in the old sand, e.g. For old sand from the cast unpacking area, while low Turbidity values for a core sand or an old sand in the area of foundry cleaning.
- Another way of qualifying the straight processed sand during its treatment possible in that the during Dusting of the old sand treated in the grater discharged dust collected and per unit time
- the amount of dust produced is gravimetric or volumetric recorded, the temporal dust quantity gradient thus obtained recorded and the height of the dust volume gradient and its course to adjust the duration of treatment is used in the grater.
- bentonite-bound used sand shows with pre-dedusting a high and approximate in time constant dust level, which only after a certain Duration decreases significantly.
- By recording the dust volume gradient and its shape during the dedusting is a quality assessment of the initial dust possible. Is there a significant drop in the Gradient, the old sand is sent to the dryer or fed to the grater and the treatment started, the rest of the process via those stored in the control unit Control modules is controlled. The one with pre-dedusting Dust can be recycled.
- the method can be further optimized in that in the mechanical processing stage as dust-free as possible Used sand arrives because the dust content in the used sand Reduction of the friction and effective on the used sand grain Abrasive forces.
- the dust acts as a lubricant, so to speak.
- Such graters are usually the one here addressed type driven by an electric motor.
- the friction and This has an abrasive effect on the used sand grain directly at the current consumption of the drive motor. It can therefore measure this current consumption and the measured value as a control variable for the duration of the treatment of the old sand be used.
- the old foundry sand is placed in a feed container 1 fed, withdrawn from there by means of a conveyor 2 and placed on a vibrating screen 3, that for retention larger tuber of sand, impurities or the like.
- a conveyor 4 passes on which a magnetic separator 5 is assigned and the used sand is pneumatic Transmitter 6 feeds the old sand into one of the storage bunkers 7, 8, 9 or via a direct line 10 to a dryer 11 feeds.
- the dryer 11 is also pneumatic Delivery line 12 and a pneumatic transmitter 13 connected to the storage bunkers 7, 8 and 9.
- the dryer 11 which is preferably designed as a fluid bed dryer and therefore connected to a blower 15 via a line 14 on the outlet side opens into an intermediate vessel 16 for dedusting the old sand. This tundish will again from the blower 15 via line 17 with purge air provided.
- the old sand comes over a down pipe 22 into a possibly collecting several batches Container 23, on the outlet side of which is again a pneumatic one Transmitter 24 is arranged, the regenerated sand via line 25 into a dedusting device 26 promotes from where the regenerated sand - possibly via another Sieve 27 - gets into a pneumatic transmitter 28.
- This conveys the regenerated sand into one of the regenerated sand bunkers 29, 30 or 31, in which possibly different Sand types can be saved. From the regenerated sand bunkers 29, 30 and 31, the regenerated sand reaches by means of of a pneumatic transmitter 33 back to the foundry.
- the dust cycle is described below: The on Feed container 1 and in the area of the conveyor 2 and the Screening machine 3 accumulating dust is immediately in the Dust collector 34 promoted.
- the during treatment in Fluid bed dryer 11 and accumulating in the intermediate vessel 16 Dust enters a device via lines 35 and 36, respectively 37 or 38, in which the amount of dust and their temporal seizure can be recorded gravimetrically.
- dusts e.g. Slurry
- acts they are pneumatically in the lines 39 and 40 in the Sludge bunker 41 promoted.
- the old sand bunker 7, 8 and 9 are via lines 42 and the dedusting device 26 via line 43 and the old sand bunker 29, 30 and 31 via line 44 to the dust collector 34 connected.
- the dust collected there can also get into the Line 40 and thus in the dust bunker 41 for recycling be promoted.
- the described graters 19 with the tundish 16 can be switched in the circuit, in principle be constructed arbitrarily. However, graters are preferred used as in the earlier patent application DE-A 42 37 838 of the applicant are described.
