Definitions
- This invention relates to a self-baking electrode and an electric arc furnace for the production of silicon alloys and silicon metal.
- the invention furthermore relates to a process for forming in situ a self-baking electrode for the production of silicon metal and silicon alloys in an electric arc furnace.
- Self-baking electrodes also called “Söderberg electrodes”
- Self-baking electrodes basically consist of a carbon-containing material such as anthracite, pet coke, tar and pitch, which is filled into a steel casing held in position within an electric arc furnace by means of contact shoes and a suspension/slipping device.
- the application of high electric currents plus the heat of the arc struck by the electrode during the furnace operation develops sufficient heat to melt the material filled into the casing and form a paste, then cokify the so-formed paste, and finally bake the electrode.
- the steel casings of the Söderberg electrodes presently in use are in majority round in shape and provided with a series of inwardly projecting fins extending radially towards the center of the electrode in order to provide mechanical strength to the electrode, heat penetration within the electrode through the conductivity of the fins and act as current conductor.
- the fins and the casing are typically made of regular steel, and their amount, length and physical shape depend on what is considered optimum for thorough baking as per each geometric design.
- both the paste and casing have to be replaced. This is done high on top of the electrode column so that there is sufficient static pressure for compaction, and for running through the various stages of the temperature pattern from softening of the paste up to the heat generated by current flow.
- the iron pick-up is of such a magnitude that the Söderberg technology cannot be applied to produce commercial grade silicon metal where, depending on the quality grade for Si, the Fe content has to be below 1%, below 0.5%, below 0.35% or even below 0.2%.
- pre-baked electrode which is an amorphous carbon or semi-graphitized electrode produced in specific manufacturing units and then supplied in sections of typically 2 to 2.5 m length.
- pre-baked electrodes which are usually 4 to 6 times more expensive than Söderberg electrodes, are to be connected to each other by specific devices, which can be nipples and sockets or a system of male/female design cuts at the ends of each section of the electrode. In operation in a silicon metal furnace, these connections between pieces of electrodes are limiting factors for energy transfer from one electrode to the other underneath the contact shoe.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a new electrode system which allows the production of silicon metal in a Söderberg-type furnace without any modification to the existing slipping system or addition of another slipping system. Thanks to the electrode according to the invention, the same furnace can produce both FeSi of any grade and Si metal without any downtime between the gradual change from one product to the other and each time at the lowest electrode cost.
- the electrode according to the invention overcomes the problems associated with prior art: silicon metal contamination, core breakages as a result of extrusion forces, casing deformation, loss of production and capital expense for installation of new slipping systems. It also provides a way to convert bigger and more efficient ferro-silicon Söderberg-type furnaces instead of existing silicon metal furnaces with pre-baked electrode technology.
- the present invention relates to an in situ self-baking electrode for the production of silicon metal and silicon alloys for use in an electric arc furnace according to claim 1.
- the present invention also relates to an electric arc furnace for the production of silicon metal and silicon metal alloys according to claim 6.
- a further object of the present invention is to propose a process for forming in situ a self-baking electrode for the production of silicon metal and silicon alloys in an electric arc furnace according to claim 11.
- such a core in the form of bars or rods can be hollowed to allow inside cooling through injection of di-atomic or inert gases. Such is particularly useful to control and influence the arc at the lip of the electrode and the baking of the electrode.
- the material forming the casing is selected so as to he electrically conductive to transfer electric power from the contact shoes into the Söderberg paste while preventing undesired metallic contamination by either Ti, V, Ta, Cr, Zr or Ni.
- the casing can be made of Cu or brass, or of an aluminum alloy or aluminum of sufficient strength to support the pressure of the filling of Söderberg paste without deformation or dents.
- Such a possible selection makes the invention particularly useful to produce silicon metal of suitable quality for application in the Rochow-direct synthesis. Indeed, one has only to select the material forming the conductive core and supporting casing so that the resulting metallic additions to die melting contains suitable amounts of Al and/or Cu and/or zinc and/or tin as are required in the silicon thus produced.
- the electrode according to the invention allows a user to switch from the production of ferrosilicon using regular Söderberg electrodes to the production of silicon metal using the technology described hereinabove, without any downtime, and since no additional devices to guide the graphite core are required, switch-back to Söderberg technology is possible and only with this technology.
- an important improvement in the electrode according to the invention lies in that the central core of the electrode which is secured to the casing is "released" from its function of transferring compression forces for the extrusion as for the electrode described in prior art as indicated above. Consequently, it does not expose the core material to the risk of buckling when compressed, and thereby of breaking. It furthermore eliminates the need for a separate slipping device to perform the functions of the central core, and thereby the substantial costs for irreversible retro-fitting of existing furnaces from the pre-baked carbon-electrode design to the extruded concept as described hereinabove.
- an electric arc furnace (2) in which an electrode (4) according to the present invention may be employed is illustrated.
- the furnace (2) is of a conventional design and may be used for smelting for example, ferrosilicon and silicon metal.
- the furnace (2) comprises a furnace body (6) formed of an outer steel shell and a suitable refractory material.
- a curtain (8) is extending upwardly from the furnace body (6) and it has an upper end engaged by the hood (10) or cover of the furnace body (6).
- the electrode (4) extends vertically within the furnace body (6) through an opening (12) in the hood (10).
- the furnace (2) comprises electric means for providing an electric arc in the furnace (2) for smelting a charge (14) in the furnace body (6).
- the electric means comprises a contact, such as a contact shoe (16), connected to the electrode (4).
- the contact shoe (16) is mounted on the electrode (4) with a conventional half-ring (18).
- the furnace (2) may also be provided with a water-cooled jacket (20) for cooling the electrode (4) above the contact shoe (16).
- Retaining means are provided for retaining the electrode (4) vertically within the furnace (2).
- the retaining means preferably comprises regulation cylinders (22) and two slipping bands (24) mounted on an upper floor (26) of the furnace building and supporting the electrode (4).
- the self- baking electrode (4) comprises an elongated open ended electrically conductive metal casing (30) for extending generally vertically within the furnace (2) in use.
- This casing (30) has an upper end (31) and a bottom end (33).
- a central core (32) made of a heat conductive material, made of a carbonaceous material, is disposed within and spaced from the casing (30).
- the casing (30) and the central core (32) define an annular channel (34) in which a carbonaceous electrode paste (36), preferably Söderberg paste, can be fed, molten and baked.
- a carbonaceous electrode paste (36) is surrounding the central core (32), the paste (36) being devised to cure into a solid electrode upon heating and to bond to the central core (32).
- the central core (32) can be shaped as a bar or other defined shapes and is held centrally within the casing (30) by at least one framework (37) which prevents relative movement of the central core (32) with respect to the casing (30) due to the paste movement between the core (32) and the casing (30).
- the casing (30) is made of a thin-walled ordinary steel or a thicker-walled Dural® so that the rigidity of the walls can stand the radial pressure of the filled-in Söderberg paste (36).
- the filling of the Söderberg paste (36) into the electrode casing (30) is done in a quasi continuous manner so as to minimize the "falling" height and also the total length above the contact shoes.
- the metal casing (30) is made of a material unalloyed with a metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, tantalum, chrome, zirconium and nickel, for preventing contamination of the silicon metal to be produced in the furnace (2) with one of said metal upon an ongoing consumption of the casing in the furnace (2).
- the casing (30) is made of a metal selected from the group consisting of copper, brass and aluminum.
- the framework (37) securing the central core (32) to an inner surface of the casing (30) preferably comprises a pair of opposite rods (38), each rod (38) extending generally horizontally and having a first end (40) driven into the central core (32) and a second end (42) secured to an inner surface of the casing (30).
- a bar (44) is extending through the central core (32) below the pair of rods (38), the bar (44) having its opposite outer ends (46) projecting out from the central core (32).
- the framework (37) further comprises two lateral frame members (48), each connecting together the second end (42) of each rod (38) to a corresponding outer end (46) of the bar (44).
- two further rods (60) may preferably be provided for preventing the central core (32) from twisting or rotating within the casing (30).
- Each of said rods (60) comprises a first end (62) secured to the central core (32) and a second end (64) secured to the inner wall of the casing (30), the two rods (60) being tangent with the central core (32).
- spread-out sheets (47) may be fixed to the inner surface of the casing (30) to better prevent an extrusion of the baked paste (36) downward.
- the framework (37) alone prevents very well any extrusion of the baked electrode (36) downward, the baked electrode (36) bonding against the framework (37).
- a conventional Söderberg electrode (49) is illustrated below the electrode (4) according to the present invention.
- This conventional Söderberg electrode (49) comprises a casing (50) and fins (52) mounted on the inner wall of the casing (50).
- a self-baked electrode (54) is formed within the casing (50) and both the electrode (54) and casing (50) moved down in unison. This type of electrode is well known in the art and does not need further description.
- this conventional Söderberg electrode (49) may have the same diameter as the diameter of the electrode (4) according to the invention, showing that it is possible to easily switch from the production of ferrosilicon using a regular Söderberg electrode (49) to the production of a silicon metal using an electrode according to the invention without any downtime or shutdown of the whole furnace.
- the particular structure of the electrode according to the invention allows for a great reduction in the volume of metal, such as steel, that is normally used for preventing the extrusion of the self-baked electrode downwards.
- metal such as steel
- the present invention uses, in a well balanced system, the heat conductivity of the central core (32) to bake the surrounding Söderberg paste (36). It does not necessitate a relative movement of the baked electrode (36) with respect to its surrounding casing (30) as is the case with the compound electrodes known in prior art and for use in the silicon metal production.
- the process for forming in situ a self-baking electrode (4) in an electric arc furnace (2) comprises the following sequence of steps.
- the central core (32) is secured to the casing (30) by driving respectively into two opposite sides of the central core (30), a first end (40) of a corresponding rod (38) of a pair of opposite rods (38) and then securing a second end (42) of each of said opposite rods (38) to an inner surface of the casing (30) such that each rod (38) is extending generally horizontally within the casing (30).
- a bar (44) is inserted through the central core (32) below the two rods (38) such that the opposite outer ends (46) of the bar (44) are projecting out from the central core (32).
- the second end (42) of each rod (38) is respectively connected to a corresponding outer end (46) of the bar (44) with a lateral frame member (48).
- the casing (30), in step d), may preferably be slid on top of a previous Söderberg-type self-baking electrode (49) used for the production of ferrosilicon, as shown in figure 2.
- the casing (30) used for the production of silicon may have substantially the same diameter as the outer casing (50) of the Söderberg electrode (49).
