Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a technology to magnetically separate (separate) ferromagnetic particles from a powder and granular material containing the ferromagnetic particles and relates to, for example, a magnetic separator and a magnetic separation method, which are suitable for separating an iron content from a slag obtained as a by-product of an ironmaking process, and a method for manufacturing an iron source.
  • a slag (steelmaking slag) is generated as a by-product in a molten pig iron pretreatment or a converter decarbonization step.
  • the slag is generated on the basis of reaction of a calcium based additive added to remove impurities and unnecessary elements in the molten pig iron and a molten steel (sometimes iron and steel are collectively called iron) with these impurities and unnecessary elements. Besides the removed impurities and unnecessary elements, a high proportion of iron content is also contained in the slag.
  • the iron content has been separated and recovered.
  • the iron content is separated and recovered by the following steps. Initially, the slag is sieved to remove large (several hundreds of millimeters) blocks included in the slag. In small blocks passed through a sieve, an iron content and a slag content adhere to each other. Therefore, rough crushing into the size of several tens of micrometers to several tens of millimeters is performed with a hammer crusher, a rod mill, or the like to facilitate liberation (separation of the iron content from the slag content). Thereafter, the iron content is separated with a magnetic separator.
  • examples of apparatuses used as the magnetic separator include suspended electro magnets, magnetic drum separators, and magnetic pulleys.
  • a slag is heated and is cooled for an appropriate time, followed by crushing. It is possible to separate only the adhering slag content without crushing iron blocks or micronize the slag into several tens of micrometers depending on the cooling time.
  • the particle diameter of the slag is reduced by repeating mechanical crushing.
  • the diameter may be reduced by a heat treatment.
  • a magnetic separator shown in Fig. 8 has been previously used (for example, NPL 1).
  • This apparatus is a magnetic pulley type (belt conveyer style) magnetic separator, where a powder and granular material (a) containing ferromagnetic particles is supplied from a supply device 23 onto a conveyer belt 20, and ferromagnetic particles and non-magnetic particles are separated when the powder and granular material a is discharged from a conveyer end edge portion 27.
  • magnets 22 are disposed in part of the circumferential direction.
  • the magnets 22 are disposed in such a way that magnetic poles adjacent in the circumferential direction of the belt guide roll 21 are different from each other.
  • the magnets 22 are stationary magnets disposed independently of the belt guide roll 21.
  • the magnetic forces of the magnets 22 inside the belt guide roll 21 act on the powder and granular material a on the conveyer belt 20 in the conveyer end edge portion 27, non-magnetic particles not attracted by the magnets 22 fall first so as to be recovered by a magnetically not-attracted material recovery portion 24y, and the ferromagnetic particles attracted by the magnets 22 pass through a partition plate 25 disposed below the belt guide roll 21 and fall at positions at which the magnetic force is weakened, so as to be recovered by a magnetically attracted material recovery portion 24x.
  • the document DE19838170 A1 is concerned with a belt-type magnetic separator in which a particle stream is separated by a magnetic field over a conveyor. This induces force and moment in conductive particles; depending on their nature, they are levitated and then fall to the ground through different trajectories.
  • the magnetic wheel of the separator has a conveyor belt running around it, which assists separation and interception of ferromagnetic particles. Particles affected by the field are fractionated in accordance with the lengths of their trajectories, which stem from their properties.
  • the micronized powder and granular material a is in the state in which ferromagnetic particles enclose non-magnetic particles, and the ferromagnetic particles and the non-magnetic particles are attracted by the magnet 22 at the same time, so that the ferromagnetic particles and the non-magnetic particles are not separated from each other easily. This becomes considerable as the particle diameter of the powder and granular material a decreases.
  • PTL 1 proposes a method in which foreign matters are separated without over-crushing the slag by undergoing a plurality of specific steps.
  • the separation flow becomes complicated and the treatment cost increases.
  • a wet process is commonly applied in order to avoid agglomeration, but there is a problem that a waste fluid disposal cost increases considerably.
  • the present inventors obtained the following findings on the magnetic separation.
  • Fig. 1 (A) to (D) schematically show the above-described actions.
  • the magnetic poles of the magnet of the portion facing the powder and granular material are referred to as the north pole and the south pole.
  • the magnet is moved from the state in which the ferromagnetic particles on the conveyer belt 2 are attracted by the north pole, as shown in Fig. 1 (A) , to the state in which a space portion between the north pole and the south pole faces the powder and granular material, as shown in Fig. 1 (B) , the magnitude of the attractive force acted on the ferromagnetic particles is changed because of the strength of the magnetic field.
  • the ferromagnetic particles are attracted in the direction of arrows because of the change in the magnetic pole from the north pole to the south pole and are moved to the magnet side while being rolled. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 1 (C) , the ferromagnetic particles are attracted by the south pole and are further moved to the magnet side. The above-described actions are repeated and, thereby, the ferromagnetic particles originally distributed in the whole powder and granular material layer are gathered to the side nearest to the magnet in the powder and granular material layer, as shown in Fig. 1 (D) .
  • This phenomenon always occurs if at least one of the magnet and the powder and granular material a is moved, and the same goes for the case where the magnet is fixed and only the powder and granular material a is moved.
  • Fig. 1 (A) to (D) show the case where the magnets are moved from the right side to the left side in the drawing, although the same goes for the case where the magnets are moved from the left side to the right side in the drawing, in theory.
  • the present inventors found that the ferromagnetic particles were able to be magnetically separated efficiently by applying the above-described mechanism to a belt conveyer style magnetic separator, disposing magnets inside the belt guide roll on the conveyer end edge side in such a way that adjacent magnetic poles in the portion facing the powder and granular material were arranged to become different from each other along the circumferential direction of the belt guide roll and, in addition, in such a way that adjacent magnetic poles in the portion facing the powder and granular material were arranged to become the same in the width direction of the belt guide roll, and moving the powder and granular material in the magnetic field formed by these magnets.
  • the effect is further enhanced by rotating the magnets and, thereby, changing the strength and the direction of the magnetic field acted on the ferromagnetic particles at a high speed.
