Abstract
Description
- 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.
- Basically, 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.
- When these products are shredded in order to recycle the steel, scrap particles are passed through a magnetic separator to recover the liberated ferrous or steel particles. The term liberated scrap means fragments which essentially do not contain materials other than iron and steel. The term not liberated ferrous scrap refers to fragments containing other materials in particular copper. Furthermore, 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.
- To date, steelmakers require the copper content of steel scrap be less than 0.2 wt-%, preferably less than 0.1 wt-%. However, shredder ferrous or steel scrap as currently produced by the magnetic separation at shredder yards often contains more copper, up to 2 wt-%. This is because end-of-life consumer products contain an increasing amount of copper containing parts, in which copper and steel are intimately integrated, and therefore not liberated, such as electric motor armatures and transformers. The average copper content of such parts is about 20 wt-%. Hence, there is a need to dramatically reduce the copper content of such liberated ferrous or steel scrap prior to re-melting.
- During the last decade, the threshold value of copper in steel scrap set by steelmakers has gone down from 0.25 wt-% to 0.2 wt-%. In the same period, 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 removal of copper from steel scrap can be achieved metallurgically, by hand sorting or by physical separation. The metallurgical method is very costly. On the other hand, despite its obvious disadvantages, hand sorting is a widely applied method today. However, the costs of hand sorting rise sharply with both throughput and copper content.
- To date, two proposed methods to reduce the copper content of liberated ferrous material or steel scrap by physical separation means are known. One method is to further fragmentize the scrap so that the copper is liberated from the steel and can be separated by conventional magnetic separation devices. At current prices, this route costs approx. 20 euro/ton scrap and is very energy-intensive.
- A second method, which eliminates the need of an additional shredding step, was described by Peace in
GB 1.602.279 - According to this document, 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 magnet 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 (150 m/s).
-
WO 88/05696 - 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.

EP-A-0 455 948 shows a separating device for separating weakly magnetisable material from non-magnetisable material which is fed in a mixture at a feeding point to a continuous belt driven around drums for the transportation of the mixture to a separation zone. In said separation zone magnetic field lines of a magnet are present, and the magnet to be employed therefore is required to be strong in order to attract the weakly magnetisable materials such as steel-qualities that are normally not magnetisable but may have become weakly magnetisable by mechanical agitation resulting in a transition of the steel-structure from austenite to martensite.EP-A-0 455 948 is however not concerned with the separation of strongly magnetisable materials such as iron, nickel and nickel alloys. - Now, 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 magnet rather than a plurality of magnets from the above discussed prior art, wherein said magnet is fixed in the drum distant from the feeding point, having magnetic field lines in the separation zone which are predominantly parallel to the belt surface.
- It appeared surprisingly that the magnetic field geometry in the separation zone is important for the separation process, in that a substantial better separation is obtained compared to any other field line orientation.
- Furthermore, satisfactory results are obtained by the use of a cylindrical dipole magnet.
- 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, 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 to the separation zone, wherein said magnet is a dipole magnet in the drum distant from the feeding point. Said 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.
- Reference is made to the table below wherein examples are given from magnetic field line orientation to belt surface. In the table, mention is made of a low-copper fraction and a copper-rich fraction.
- It is noted that the copper content of the feed is 1.5 wt-%.
TABLE magnetic field low-copper fraction copper-rich fraction line orientation copper content steel recovery copper content steel recovery to belt surface [wt-%] [wt-%] [wt-%] [wt-%] parallel 0.18 82.9 8.0 17.1 perpendicular 0.40 85.0 8.1 15.0 intermediate 0.55 77.6 5.0 22.4 - It appears from the above table that there are used three magnetic field line orientations, i.e. parallel, perpendicular and intermediate.
- As it can be seen from the table, 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.
- From the table it can be seen that the perpendicular and intermediate magnetic field line orientation do result in a copper content in the low-copper fraction of 0.40 and 0.55 wt-% respectively.
- From the above table it clearly follows that the parallel magnetic field line orientation is preferred.
- Furthermore, the present invention will be illustrated by the enclosed Figure.
- 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 theseparation zone 6. By means of centrifugal forces the copper-rich fraction will be separated from the liberated ferrous scrap fraction, whereas the liberated ferromagnetic fragments carried around thedrum 3 will leave the conveyor belt at a later stage. - In order to obtain a more satisfactory separation according to the invention the magnetic field strength should be in balance with the speed of the conveyor belt. Usually 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. Generally the magnetic field strength is proportional to the belt speed.
- The Figure further shows the
separation zone 6 and some of themagnetic field lines 7. Thearrow 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. For an appropriate working the north and south of the dipole magnet may be interchanged, so that 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.
