Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of handling tanks and slag pockets used in ferrous or non-ferrous metallurgy.
- slag also known as slag
- slag floats above the bath of molten metal because of its lower density than that of the molten metal.
- a first technique lies in the tilting of the tank in which it floats above the bath of molten metal.
- the slag can also be collected by scraping or overflow during tilting.
- tanks or slag ladle which are typically formed of refractory, cast iron or steel (English cast iron or steel).
- blast furnace slags and steel mill slags are distinguished.
- Blast furnace slag is a co-product of the manufacture of iron in a blast furnace, where it corresponds to the sterile gangue of iron ore, to which are added mineral additions and ashes of fuel, especially coke, coal and / or alternative fuels. It thus separates from the liquid iron by difference of density.
- the quantity of slag produced corresponds directly to the richness of the iron ore used.
- a proportion of 180 to 350 kg of slag is generally reached for one ton of cast iron produced.
- Steelmaking slag comes from pyrometallurgical tools, such as various refining tools such as tools for desulphurizing cast iron, converters converting steel cast iron (BOF-Basic Oxygen Furnace), electric furnaces (EAF-Electric Arc Furnace), stainless steel refining converters (AOD-Argon Oxygen Decarburization) and various secondary metallurgy shaping tools.
- various refining tools such as tools for desulphurizing cast iron, converters converting steel cast iron (BOF-Basic Oxygen Furnace), electric furnaces (EAF-Electric Arc Furnace), stainless steel refining converters (AOD-Argon Oxygen Decarburization) and various secondary metallurgy shaping tools.
- the role of the steelmaking slag is to collect impurities and undesirable chemical elements.
- the latter are in the vast majority of cases in the form of oxides. They are usually generated during the use of the pyrometallurgical tool concerned.
- a high lime content will, for example, make the slag capable of capturing the phosphorus oxides from the converter, which makes it possible to use it as a fertilizer.
- a high lime content makes the slag basic, which is favorable to the capture of inclusions of alumina.
- this slag must also spare the refractory bricks.
- the present invention relates more particularly to the field of handling tanks and slag pockets but also crucibles and shells, steel or cast iron, used in metal preparation workshops in ferrous or non-ferrous metallurgy.
- the slag concerned in the context of the present invention is steelmaking slag or non-ferrous metallurgy.
- slag tanks vats, bags, crucibles, shells and the like in steel or cast iron intended to collect steelmaking slags or the metallurgical industry.
- the sludge tanks must be maintained above 150 ° C to prevent any accumulation of water. Indeed, this would cause explosions when pouring slag itself at a temperature of more than 120CTC. It is therefore common practice to heat the slag tanks before they are put into service. When using slag tanks, their temperature remains stable and most often above 250 ° C thanks to the accumulation and retention of heat from the slag. The difference in coefficient of expansion between the slag and the cast iron or steel constituting the tank should indeed cause detachments when the temperature of the tank fluctuates. However, during a regime use, it does not fluctuate enough to cause detachments. Therefore, the formation of "wolf” or "clinker” (in English "skull” or in German “bar” or in Dutch “beer”) is favored. The present invention aims among others to overcome this lack. .
- this layer deposited mineral may involve the formation of an intermediate slag phase by means of an endothermic reaction that provides a cooling effect, or on the contrary, the formation of an intermediate phase at higher melting point, or else, play on other effects in relation to a phase transformation, such as playing on the expansion or on the withdrawal.
- suspensions comprise compounds in a mixture whose composition has an impact on the composition of the slag whose chemical properties are thus modified, such as for example the basicity (determined by the ratio of the amount of basic elements to the amount of acidic elements in the solid fraction), basicity which is modified by adapting the basicity of the suspension according to the basicity of the slag poured into the tank or slag bag.
- JP2015094020 and JPS83295458 are, for example, treatment status by lime suspensions.
- JP2015094020 discloses treating the inner surface of slag tanks by spraying a slurry of lime for use in the hot slag recycling process during the course of desulfurization treatment.
- the spray pipe of the lime slurry is connected to a lime slurry tank, in which the lime slurry has a lime concentration of 13.5 to 15% by weight based on the total slurry weight of lime.
- the excess slurry of lime and washing water both sprayed on the inner surface of the slag tanks returns to the lime suspension tank.
- JPS63295458 also discloses that slaked lime is fed on the wall of the slag tanks to facilitate the emptying of slag from the tank, when it is cooled and set in mass.
- this document does not disclose any characteristic of the lime, nor how or even to what extent it is applied to the inner wall of the slag tanks. Moreover, it does not describe anything about the dumping of slag by spillage. On the contrary, according to this document, it is expected the setting of the mass slag to be removed from the tank or slag bag.
- the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a method providing optimized pretreatment tanks and slag pockets of steel or cast iron to facilitate the handling of it on the steel sites pyro metallurgy between the point of collection of the slag at the level of the steel or pyrometallurgical tool and the dumping of the slag in a disposal site, typically a landfill site.
- a tank handling method or slag bag comprising an inner wall and an outer wall, said method comprising the steps of a) collecting a slag in said tank or pocket to slag of a pyrometallurgical tool,
- the method according to the present invention is characterized in that said tank or slag pocket is a tank or ladle made of steel or cast iron and in that said mineral suspension comprises calcium particles suspended in an aqueous phase forming a milk of calcium particles and optionally additives, wherein the said calcium particles are selected from the group consisting of slaked lime, decarbonated dolomite at least partially extinguished, limestone and mixtures thereof and having a content of calcium particles of between 20 and 60% by weight relative to the weight of said milk of calcium particles, said mineral layer being a thin layer.
- the term “commissioning” means the circulation of the tank or slag pocket for the role that is expected of a tank or slag pocket, namely the collection of dairy.
- the process according to the present invention focuses on steel or cast iron tanks.
- the choice concerning the pockets or slag tanks made of steel or cast iron (and not refractory), makes it possible to make the most of the difference in the coefficient of expansion between the materials. of metal type forming the tanks or slag pockets and the oxides forming the slag.
- the specific concentration of between 20 and 60% of calcium particles in the milk of calcium particles makes it possible, when milk of calcium particles is sprayed, that the water contained in the suspension evaporates almost instantaneously on contact with the hot wall and that a layer of calcium particles is applied and thus forms a thin and homogeneous layer, which does not affect the concentration of calcium particles in the slag, but also avoids bringing residual water into the slag, which is dangerous for the handling of the tank or slag bag.
- the temperature of the tank or the pocket is higher than 100 ° C, which leads to the evaporation of the water contained in the milk of calcium particles and thus leaves a thin and homogeneous layer of calcium particles.
- the term "tank or slag pocket lined with a mineral layer on a surface” is meant that about 70%, for example more than 80%, especially more than 85%, or even more 90% of the surface is lined with a thin mineral layer.
- Calcium oxide, CaO is often referred to as “quicklime”, while calcium hydroxide, Ca (OH) 2, is referred to as “hydrated lime” or “slaked lime”, both compounds being informally named “lime”.
- lime is an industrial product respectively based on oxide or calcium hydroxide.
- lime is meant a mineral solid whose chemical composition is mainly calcium oxide, CaO. Quicklime is generally obtained by calcination of limestone (mainly composed of CaCO 3 ).
- the quicklime may also contain impurities such as magnesium oxide, MgO, sulfur oxide, SO 3 , silica, SiO 2 , or alumina, Al 2 O 3 , whose sum is at a rate of a few% by weight.
- the impurities are expressed here in their oxide form, but of course they may appear in different phases.
- Quicklime usually also contains some% by weight of residual limestone, called incinerated residues.
- the suitable quicklime according to the present invention may comprise MgO, expressed in the form of MgO, in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 5% by weight, plus preferably less than or equal to 3% in weight, most preferably less than or equal to 1% by weight relative to the total weight of quicklime.
- quicklime is used in the presence of water.
- Calcium oxide in quicklime reacts rapidly with water to form calcium dihydroxide Ca (OH) 2 , in the form of slaked lime or hydrated lime, in a reaction called hydration or quenching reaction. which is very exothermic.
- the calcium dihydroxide will be simply called calcium hydroxide.
- the slaked lime can therefore contain the same impurities as those of the quicklime from which it is produced.
- the slaked lime may also comprise g (OH) 2 in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 5% by weight, more preferably less than or equal to 3% by weight. weight, most preferably less than or equal to 1% by weight relative to the total weight of the slaked lime.
- the slaked lime may also comprise calcium oxide, which may not have been fully hydrated during the quenching step, or calcium carbonate CaCO 3 .
- Calcium carbonate can come from the original limestone (incense) from which the slaked lime is obtained (via calcium oxide), or from a partial carbonation reaction of the slaked lime by contact with a slag. atmosphere containing C0 2.
- the amount of calcium oxide in the slaked lime according to the present invention is generally less than or equal to 3% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 2% by weight and more preferably less than or equal to 1% by weight relative to the total weight of the slaked lime.
- the amount of CO 2 in the slaked lime (mainly in the form of CaCO 3 ) according to the present invention is less than or equal to 5% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 3% by weight, more preferably less than or equal to 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the slaked lime according to the present invention.
- milk of lime is intended to mean a suspension of solid particles of slaked lime in an aqueous phase at a concentration greater than or equal to 200 g / kg.
- the solid particles can obviously contain impurities, namely phases derived from SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , MnO, P 2 O 5 and / or SO 3 , generally representing a few tens of grams per kilogram.
- These solid particles may also contain calcium oxide which would not have been hydrated during extinction, just as they may contain calcium carbonate CaCO 3 and / or magnesium MgC (3 ⁇ 4, possibly combined under the form of duty.
- milk of calcium particles is intended to mean a suspension of solid calcium particles in an aqueous phase at a concentration greater than or equal to 200 g / kg.
- the duty includes both calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate in varying proportions as well as various impurities.
- the cooking of the duty causes the release of C0 2 (decarbonation) and a bright dolomitic product is obtained, namely composed mainly of CaO and MgO, although carbonates, especially CaCC1 ⁇ 2, can remain in more or less significant amount.
- a bright dolomitic product is obtained, namely composed mainly of CaO and MgO, although carbonates, especially CaCC1 ⁇ 2, can remain in more or less significant amount.
- water is added to hydrate the live portion of the decarbonated layer. Since the avidity of CaO for water is much higher than that of MgO for water, it is often necessary to hydrate under pressure, for example in an autoclave, resulting in a product that is at least partially hydrated.
- the term "limestone” means a natural mineral material derived from calcareous ore or, when the properties must be controlled, derived from the carbonation of quicklime.
- the limestone meets the general formula CaCC1 ⁇ 2 and can obviously contain impurities.
- the milk of calcium particles is a milk of lime and said calcium particles are particles of slaked lime.
- the demolding effect of the mineral layer allows the slag to be dumped, carrying with it the mineral layer and leaving the tank or slag pocket perfectly clean for the following operations.
- the slaked lime is in any case transformed into quicklime because of the slag temperature which is higher than 1200 ° C. This transformation releases water vapor that takes off the slag spilled at the many hooking points formed between the slag and the inner wall of the tank or slag pocket. This significantly reduces the total slag surface adhering to the mineral layer formed of lime particles.
- the mineral layer comprising calcium hydrate is carbonate and thus becomes a layer of calcium carbonate.
- the slag is poured onto the calcium carbonate, since the upper slag temperature to 1200 ° C, calcium carbonate is decarbonated and shape of the quicklime by liberation of C0 2 and not more than steam (although both phenomena can occur simultaneously).
- said calcium particles in the milk of calcium particles of said mineral suspension have an average particle size d 5 o of between 1.5 ⁇ and 10 ⁇ m.
- said calcium particles in the milk of calcium particles of said mineral suspension have an average particle size d 50 of less than or equal to 8 ⁇ , in particular less than or equal to 6 ⁇ , more particularly less than or equal to 5 ⁇ , especially less than 4 ⁇ .
- said calcium particles in the milk of calcium particles of said mineral suspension have an average particle size d 50 greater than or equal to 2 ⁇ , in particular greater than or equal to 2.5 ⁇ ,
- the notation dx represents a diameter, expressed in ⁇ m, relative to which X% of the particles or grains measured are smaller.
- the reactivity of a milk of lime is thus evaluated by the evolution over time of the measurement of the conductivity of a solution prepared by diluting a small quantity of milk of lime in a large volume of demineralized water.
- the corresponding dissolution time t (x%) in s is then obtained from the graph conductivity vs. time (see Figure 2 of EN12485 (2010)).
- said mineral suspension when said mineral suspension contains or is a milk of lime, it has a reactivity expressed in the form of a dissolution time t (90%) greater than 0.1 s in particular greater than 0.2 s and less than 10 s, in particular less than 5 s.
- the slaked lime particles have a particle size sufficiently fine to also contribute to the formation of a thin mineral layer, in particular homogeneous, participating in the simplification of the demolding slag.
- said milk of calcium particles has a stability characterized by the test of the bottle as described in WO 2001/096240.
- said additives of said inorganic suspension are chosen from the group consisting of carbohydrates as well as dispersants and fluidizing additives, such as polycarbonates or polyacrylates, or polyphosphonates, in particular DTP P.
- said dispersant or fluidifying additives of said mineral suspension are present at a mass content of between 0.2 and 5% relative to the weight of said inorganic suspension.
- the content of said additives is less than or equal to 3%, in particular less than or equal to 2%, more particularly less than or equal to 1.5% relative to the weight of said inorganic suspension.
- the content of said additives is greater than or equal to 0.5%, relative to the weight of said mineral suspension.
- the mineral suspension is lined on the inner wall of the tanks or slag pockets.
- additives may be present in said mineral suspension, in particular one or more carbohydrates with one or more dispersing or fluidizing agents.
- the water contained in the suspension evaporates almost instantaneously in contact with the hot wall. If the mineral suspension contains a carbohydrate, the evaporation of the water contained in the mineral suspension causes a rapid increase in the concentration of carbohydrate to form a weak adhesive promoting the adhesion of the calcium particles to the walls slag tank, also due to the temperature of the tank or slag pocket, which is above 100 ° C.
- the temperature of the slag produces a carbohydrate calcination reaction, possibly simultaneously with the dehydration of the calcium hydroxide when the calcium particles are particles of slaked lime or decarbonated dolomite at least partially hydrated, which facilitates the demolding of the slag, these phenomena occurring at 500 ° C.
- the fine mineral layer formed by spraying makes it possible, at the moment of the dumping of the slag in the tank or slag pocket, to produce a shear plane behind the mineral layer (at the interface between the inner wall of the tank or slag pocket and the mineral layer).
- the shear plane can be produced a priori because the presence of the carbohydrate plays the role of a weak glue, compared to the potential adhesion of the slag to the inner wall of the tank or slag pocket.
- the mineral layer "stuck" on the inner wall of the tank or slag pocket is composed of fine mineral particles.
- the temperature of the tank or slag pocket just before the slag discharge has a temperature typically from 100 ° C to 350 ° C, at which temperature the mineral particles are stable.
- the mineral layer can therefore be applied to the tank or slag pocket well before use. Slotted vats or slag pockets can even be stored
