Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process and device for the separation of fragments of liberated ferrous scrap from not liberated ferrous scrap fragments by means of a static magnet.
  • the present invention relates to the dramatic reduction of the copper content in liberated ferrous scrap in particular in steel scrap.
  • Steel scrap is produced, among others, from end-of-life consumer products, such as cars as well as electric and electronic appliances at car shredders and waste from energy plants.
  • liberated scrap means fragments which essentially do not contain materials other than iron and steel.
  • not liberated ferrous scrap refers to fragments containing other materials in particular copper.
  • ferrous scrap obtained from shedders contain both liberated and not liberated scrap. This "shredder steel scrap", obtained according to the prior art separation methods, is sold to steel manufacturers to be re-melted and processed into new steel products.
  • the threshold value of copper in steel scrap set by steelmakers has gone down from 0.25 wt-% to 0.2 wt-%.
  • the amount of copper containing parts in steel scrap has substantially risen, up to about 20 wt-%, as a result of design changes of durable consumer goods and passenger vehicles.
  • the liberated ferrous scrap fragments are separated from the not liberated ferrous scrap fragments by means of a static magnet wherein a mixture of said liberated ferrous and not liberated ferrous fragments is fed to a continuous conveyor belt which is driven around drums and wherein said magnetic is fixed in the drum distant from the feeding point.
  • Said magnet is attracting liberated ferromagnetic material towards the belt as it passes around the drum, which device comprising a plurality of magnet poles extending around the interior of the drum for substantially 180°, wherein the uppermost pole being positioned at an angle of at least 15° to the vertical through the axis of the drum in the direction of belt travel.
  • the speed of the conveyor belt may not exceed 500 feet per minute.
  • WO 88/05696 discloses a process for separating magnetic ore particles from non-magnetic particles using a short belt magnetic separator having a pulley head with axial pole permanent magnets located within said pulley head, said magnets being mounted in a fixed position within said pulley head during operation of said separator.
  • Said axial pole magnets within the pulley head are positioned so that said magnets extend along an arc beginning at a location spaced at least one degree beyond the point of tangency T of an upper surface of the belt with the pulley head.
  • the present invention relates to a process and device for the separation of liberated ferrous scrap fragments from not liberated ferrous scrap fragments by using a single dipole magnet rather than a plurality of magnets from the above disclosed prior art.
  • the present invention relates to a process for the separation of fragments of liberated ferrous scrap from not liberated ferrous scrap fragments by means of a static magnet, wherein a mixture of said liberated ferrous and not liberated ferrous fragments is fed onto a continuous conveyor belt which is driven around drums and wherein said magnet is fixed in the drum distant from the feeding point, which magnet is a single magnet, preferably a dipole magnet, having magnetic field lines in the separation zone which are predominantly parallel to the belt surface.
  • the invention also relates to a device for the separation of fragments of liberated ferrous scrap from not liberated ferrous scrap in a separation zone by means of a fixed magnet in the drum distant from the feeding point which device is provided with a first drum and a second drum and a continuous belt for the transportation of a mixture of liberated and not liberated scrap wherein said magnet is a dipole magnet.
  • Said magnet preferably a dipole magnet, is cylindrical and furthermore the position of said magnet in the drum is such that the magnetic field lines are predominantly parallel to the surface of said belt.
  • the copper content of the feed is 1.5 wt-%.
  • the parallel orientation of the magnetic field line gives the best result relating to a copper content of the recovered steel fraction, i.e. only about 0,18 wt-% copper versus iron recovery of about 82.9 wt-%.
  • the copper content of the copper-rich fraction obtained by the centrifugal forces is about 8.0 wt-% versus about 17.1 wt-% iron recovery in the parallel orientation of the magnetic field lines.
  • the Figure shows the preferred embodiment of the device 1 of the invention for the separation of fragments of liberated ferrous scrap from not liberated ferrous scrap.
  • the liberated and not liberated scrap mixture is fed to the continuous conveyor belt 4 at drum 2 for the transportation of said scrap mixture with a belt speed of 2 to 5 m/s, preferably 3 to 4 m/s, and most preferably 3.5 m/s to the separation zone 6.
  • a belt speed of 2 to 5 m/s, preferably 3 to 4 m/s, and most preferably 3.5 m/s to the separation zone 6.
  • the magnetic field strength should be in balance with the speed of the conveyor belt.
  • the magnetic field strength is 0.10-0.15 Tesla at the belt surface at a belt speed of 3.5 m/s. At a lower belt speed the optimum magnetic field strength will be lower whereas at a higher speed the magnetic field strength should be higher than 0.10-0.15 Tesla.
  • the magnetic field strength is proportional to the belt speed.
  • the Figure further shows the separation zone 6 and some of the magnetic field lines 7.
  • the arrow 8 shows the belt travel direction.
  • the magnet preferably a dipole magnet, which is furthermore preferably a cylindrical magnet, 5 is fixed in the drum 3.
  • the capital letters N and S refer to north and south of the dipole magnet.
  • N is in the down and S is in the upper section, provided that the magnetic field lines are predominantly parallel to the surface of said belt.
