Definitions
- the invention relates to an oxygen lance for blowing a liquid metal into a converter with two concentric tubes, which have an inner supply line for a Form oxygen-containing gas and an outer supply line for an inert gas. Further The invention relates to a method for blowing a liquid metal into a converter, wherein an oxygen-containing gas and an inert gas in the converter be initiated.
- Raw copper is extracted in several steps using the standard process.
- copper mostly occurs in connection with iron in the form of sulfur-containing ores, such as copper gravel.
- sulfur-containing ores such as copper gravel.
- the correct quantitative ratio between copper, iron and sulfur is set by partial oxidation of the sulfur in the ores, so that the subsequent melting of the ores produces a copper stone of the desired composition.
- the copper stone which essentially consists of CuS 2 and FeS, is separated from the slag produced.
- the copper stone is further processed by blowing in a converter.
- the sulfur iron is first oxidized by blowing air into or onto the liquid copper stone and converted into a slag by adding quartz.
- the slag formed is drawn off from the bath surface and so-called trace stone CuS 2 is obtained .
- trace stone CuS 2 is obtained .
- the liquid raw copper separates from the trace stone melt.
- iron is similarly extracted from the nickel stone Blown away in a converter.
- WO 95/09250 proposes to increase the performance of a converter air enriched with more than 30 volume percent oxygen in the melt blow in.
- the lances for supplying the oxygen-containing gas are two concentric tubes formed, the inner tube containing the oxygen Gas and an inert gas is passed through the outer tube.
- the inert gas is said to be between 5% and 25% of the exothermic reaction of oxygen with the copper stone absorb the heat generated, causing the lances to burn too quickly should be prevented.
- the oxygen content of the injected Gases are between 40 vol .-% and 60 vol .-%.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an oxygen lance Blowing an oxygen-containing gas into a converter that the blowing time is shortened and the blowing of highly enriched air or pure Oxygen is enabled.
- the service life of both the lances and the Converter wall in which the lances are built should also be used highly enriched air or pure oxygen must not be shorter than that previous air blowing.
- the invention is also intended to provide a method make, which for blowing molten metal, the at least one contains oxidizable component, in particular for blowing copper or Nickel stone, is suitable.
- this object is achieved according to the invention by an oxygen lance solved the type mentioned, the distance between the inner and the outer tube at least 1.5 mm and the wall thickness of the outer tube is at least 2.5 mm.
- the oxygen lances can also consist of pipe sections which interchangeable nozzles with the above dimensions are attached. It is essential that at least the part of the projecting into the converter Oxygen lance has the dimensions according to the invention.
- the oxygen lance according to the invention is used to blow in oxygen-containing gases with significantly increased compared to the prior art Oxygen content up to the use of essentially only oxygen existing gas allows. Due to the large wall thickness of the outer tube, the Thermal conductivity of the outer tube significantly increased. Part of the reaction between the oxygen and the melt released thermal energy thereby derived through the outer tube without being damaged. The Inert gas flowing out between the inner and outer tubes compensates for one part of the heat energy, so that the lance burns off at the use of pure oxygen is greatly slowed down.
- pipes should not only be those with a round one Cross section can be understood, but also tube profiles with a square or generally polygonal cross section.
- the lance burns back, as is the case with the previous one Use of air does not occur completely.
- There is a risk that can connect the inner and outer tubes during the burn-back which on the one hand increases the heat transfer from the outer to the inner tube, which can damage the inner tube.
- the inert gas flow carried in the space hindered or even interrupted which reduces its cooling effect. Both effects lead to damage or even failure of the Oxygen lance.
- the annular gap between the both pipes have a width of at least 1.5 mm. It has been found that thereby the connection of the inner and outer tubes can be avoided, so that the disadvantages described above do not occur.
- the inner tube is already cooled by the inert gas flow, to a certain extent But heat is still from the melt by heat conduction through this Pipe removed. It is therefore advantageous to use an inner tube with a Wall thickness of at least 2 mm. This wall thickness ensures that Inner tube withstands the thermal load that occurs.
- the concentric arrangement of the outer tube and inner tube is advantageous ensured that the inner and outer tube by punctiform Spacers are connected.
- Puniform in this context meant that the spacers have the smallest possible expansion on the Pipe surface. The size of this expansion depends on the material and the type of spacers.
- the centering of the inner tube in the outer tube can be achieved for example by pins or welding spots. Such Centering has the advantage that, on the one hand, the space between the Both tubes formed supply for the inert gas over the entire length of the tube has a constant cross section, whereby a uniform flow of inert gas, and so that a constant cooling effect can be achieved. On the other hand, the only punctiform spacers the heat transfer from the outer to the inner tube minimized.
- the number of spacers is also appropriate kept as low as possible, but care should be taken that even after Burning off part of the oxygen lance is always a stable and constant Arrangement of inner and outer tube remains guaranteed.
- an arrangement of the spacers is sufficient in the the mutual angular distance of the spacers is at least 90 ° by one to achieve concentric arrangement of the tubes and this also after a Maintain partial burning of the lance.
- the oxygen lance can for example be made of steel, also VA steel, or copper be made.
- the lance is preferably made of steel.
- the invention also relates to a method for blowing a liquid Metal in a converter, an oxygen-containing gas and an inert gas in the Converter to be initiated.
- the oxygen-containing gas contains at least 60 percent by volume Oxygen.
- the method is particularly for blowing copper or Nickel stone, but also generally for refining metal melts, which contain at least one oxidizable component, can be used. By the high Oxygen content becomes a particularly efficient reaction between the melt and the oxygen-containing gas.
- the lances according to the invention are for Implementation of this method is particularly suitable.
- the heat generated during the reaction of the oxygen with the molten metal is partially compensated for by the inert gas supplied.
- the inert gas forms a cooling protective gas jacket around the outlet area of the oxygen-containing gas, in which the greatest heating takes place.
- nitrogen or argon as a coolant has proven to be advantageous.
- the use of air can also prove to be favorable for reasons of cost, but its cooling effect is less than that of nitrogen or argon due to the oxygen content. There may also be cases where the use of CO 2 as a cooling gas is cheap. Any mixture of the gases mentioned, in particular the mixture of nitrogen and air, is also suitable for cooling according to the invention.
- the blowing of the oxygen-containing gas and the inert gas into the converter is preferably done laterally or from above.
- copper stone is in one blow out side blowing converter or an inflation converter, because with one Blow the raw copper collecting at the bottom of the converter would cool down a lot.
- the oxygen-containing gas is preferably at a pressure of at least 2 bar, particularly advantageously at least 5 bar, in the molten metal is initiated, as a particularly favorable flow profile of the introduced gas trains.
- the life of the oxygen lances is advantageously extended by the fact that oxygen-containing gas and / or the inert gas even after blowing the liquid Metal are blown into the converter. By blowing in such a way oxygen and / or inert gas for a certain time the lance cooled gently and washed free of impurities.
- the converter is preferably used only with the oxygen lances according to the invention equipped. But it is also possible to use only part of the lances in the to provide execution according to the invention.
- the invention has significant advantages over the prior art.
- the Oxygen lances according to the invention allow an increase in the oxygen content of the introduced oxygen-containing gas up to the supply of pure oxygen.
- the Speed of the desired reaction between the oxygen and the metal can be increased considerably.
- the large tube wall thicknesses ensure good heat dissipation without doing so damage the lance.
- the process developed is suitable for blowing metal melts, especially for blowing copper and nickel stone.
- a lying drum converter 1 in which the liquid Copper stone 2 is located.
- the sulfur-containing iron oxidized and converted into a slag by adding silica Bath surface can be peeled off. From the remaining so-called The smelting of the stone settles on the further blowing, the liquid raw copper in the lower part of the converter 1.
- the length of the oxygen lances 3 is about Adjusted wall thickness of the converter 1 and is about 80 cm.
- the lance 3 consists of an inner tube 4, which has a wall thickness of 3 mm.
- This Tube 4 is closed at one end 5 and points in the vicinity of this tube end 5 a side supply line 6 for supplying oxygen.
- An outer tube 7 is arranged concentrically with the inner tube 4 and also has a side Supply line 8. This allows nitrogen to enter the annular gap 11 between the two Pipes 4 and 7 are introduced.
- the outer tube 7 is on that of the feed line 8 closer pipe end 9 gas-tightly connected to the inner tube 4.
- the wall thickness of the Outer tube 7 is 4 mm. Between the two pipes are on the Inner tube 4 applied welding spots 10, which are the concentric position of the two Ensure pipes 4, 7.
- the welding spots 10 are at a distance of 5 cm in Direction of the pipe longitudinal axes applied. Are located above the pipe circumference 4 welding spots 10 each.
- the gap 11 formed between the tubes 4, 7 has a width of 1.7 mm.
- the diameter of the tubes 4 and 7, the gap width 11 and the oxygen and nitrogen pressure are related to the size and loading of the Converter adjusted.
- the amount of oxygen introduced is about 1.6 times as large like the nitrogen supply.
