Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for dry granulation of molten material and a granulator.
- Dry granulation of molten material is a technology under development for converting molten material into solid granules.
- Molten material is, for example, molten metal or metallurgical slag, for example molten blast furnace slag - the process is then also called dry slag granulation DSG and is described, for example, in EP2747920B1.
- dry means that the molten material does not come into direct contact with liquid water during granulation - this is in contrast, for example, to conventional industrial processes for granulating blast furnace slag, in which the molten slag is introduced into a stream of water.
- the granulator is a container delimited by an envelope, which has a slag feed, a gas feed for the process gas and an exhaust line for heated process gas - also called process exhaust gas in the context of this application - for example air - also called process air.
- the molten one Material for example liquid slag, is applied to an atomization unit located in the casing of the granulator; this is, for example, a rapidly rotating unit known as a rotary atomiser; something like this is shown for example in EP2747920B1. Due to the forces that occur, the molten material is torn into fine droplets and thrown outwards.
- the particles are put into a fluidized state, and the amount flowing through takes on properties that are practically fluid-like, which is also called fluidizing and is a well-known principle in process engineering.
- the fluidization begins with increasing process gas speed at a defined point. The one in one
- Fluidized bed type of fluidization depends essentially on the gas velocity, gas density as well as on the particle bulk density, the shape, and the grain size distribution of the particles.
- the term fluidized bed is to be equated with the term fluidized bed, the two terms are used synonymously in the present application.
- the granulator comprises devices for introducing process gas which is intended to serve to form a fluidized bed or a fluidized bed from particles.
- Fluidized bed cooling of this type is advantageous because in a fluidized bed, due to the high convection and the volume / surface area of the particles, a lot of heat can quickly be given off into the process gas and carried away with the process gas flow.
- the movement of a fluidized bed ensures that freshly arriving particles - which are still particularly hot and therefore at least partially soft and sticky and therefore tend to agglomeration - do not linger on the surface of the fluidized bed, but move to other locations or into it Be mixed inside the fluidized bed. This will make the
- Dry granulation with fluidized bed cooling offers the possibility of recovering the heat transferred to the process gas during the cooling of the particles.
- Conventional granulation technologies based on fluidized bed cooling for dry granulation of molten material, such as liquid blast furnace slag, with rotary atomizers and use of an impact on the casing have a large diameter, since to avoid agglomeration of liquid and / or partially solidified droplets and / or completely solidified particles during the Flight from
- a greater distance leads to a fanning out of the flow of droplets or particles emanating from the rotary atomizer, so that they fly less close to one another or impinge less close to one another. This reduces the risk of agglomeration during flight or upon impact. Agglomeration can occur on impingement, for example, if completely or partially liquid particles are deformed on impingement and thus come into contact with neighboring particles.
- the size of the area of impact also influences the area of the fluidized bed, which must exist at least below the area of impact. Furthermore, the area required for a desired cooling potential is also influenced by how the temperature and mass flow and thus the heat input of the particles into the fluidized bed are pronounced, and which gas velocity ranges for maintaining a
- Fluidized bed for the size distribution of particles are necessary.
- a desired increased cooling effect an increase in the base area of the fluidized bed may be necessary for the purpose of increasing the amount of gas that can be introduced into the fluidized bed at the maximum gas velocity.
- the height of a fluidized bed is limited by the pressure loss that occurs in the gas flowing through it from bottom to top.
- This pressure loss caused by the establishment of the fluidized bed state when flowing through, specifies which pressure is to be provided when introducing in order to maintain the gas flow necessary for the desired cooling effect. The higher the pressure to be applied, the higher the
- Fluidized beds for processes using heat and / or mass transfer such as FINEX® fluidized bed reduction.
- the process gas supply - or the air supply when using air as the fluidizing or cooling gas - to the fluidized bed has been provided with a pressure that allows the fluidized bed to be sufficiently pronounced even in poorly fluidized areas.
- the disadvantage here is that well-fluidized areas are supplied with a pressure above the pressure they require - this leads to higher energy consumption for the pressure-generating units and reduces the scope for varying the gas flow through the fluidized bed. It also increases the amount of process gas passed through these areas, which is unfavorable for heat recovery from the process gas due to the lower temperature.
- Process for dry granulation of molten material whereby particles produced from this are cooled in at least one fluidized bed by means of process gas, characterized in that at least in that fluidized bed into which the particles enter directly after their generation, the process gas is fed into the fluidized bed in several separate steps Zones takes place.
- the molten material comes from one or more mineralogical processes - such as the manufacture of a
- the molten material is molten metallurgical
- Slag - slag from a metallurgical process can also be mixtures of different types of slag. It is, for example, slag as a result of reduction processes of iron girders for iron extraction, such as slag occurring during the operation of blast furnaces or smelting reduction processes - such as COREX® or FINEX®, for example; or it is slag accruing when melting solid products - for example DRI direct reduced iron - from direct reduction processes - this can, for example, be a melting down of DRI in a container - which, for example, does not
- LD steelworks converter for the production of crude steel is to act with resistance heating by electrical current and / or by an electric arc, or to melt down DRI in a steelworks converter, for example an LD steelworks converter. It is, for example, slag accumulating in steelworks processes for steel production from iron, for example slag from the operation of LD (BOF), AOD,
- EAF EAF. It is preferably slag from the production of pig iron-like melt or pig iron melt - for example by means of
- Smelting reduction processes such as COREX® or FINEX® or blast furnace processes - particularly preferably blast furnace slag. It is also preferably slag from a DRI smelting process.
- particles are generated from the molten material.
- the generation of particles from the molten material takes place by means of an atomizer unit, preferably by means of
- Rotary atomizer means the generation of particles from the molten material.
- a rotary atomizer is based on the principle that liquid material is applied to a rotating body, the rotation of the rotating body
- Body is transferred to the liquid, and drops are detached from the liquid due to centrifugal forces, i.e. the liquid is atomized.
- particle includes liquid droplets, partially solidified - that is, partly liquid and partly solid; for example solid on the outside and liquid on the inside - particles, fully solidified particles.
- Liquid, partially solidified and fully solidified particles can have a stickiness -.
- Stickiness refers to the ability to adhere or agglomerate with other particles produced during dry granulation.
- the particles are created from molten material. Molten material has a temperature above its melting point, the particles accordingly contain more heat energy than the solid state. As a result of the cooling, the particles should solidify to such an extent that there is no longer any tendency to agglomerate due to stickiness, which is relevant for the operation of the fluidized bed.
- dry granulation means that the molten material does not come into direct contact with liquid water during granulation.
- liquid water can contribute indirectly to cooling, for example if the shell of the granulator is water-cooled.
- the particles generated during dry granulation are cooled in at least one fluidized bed by means of process gas.
- the process gas can be fed into the fluidized bed in several separate zones in one, some or all of these fluidized beds.
- the cooling takes place as a for intensive heat exchange
- Fluidized bed is supposed to be formed by means of gas, also called process gas here. Air is preferably used as the process gas because it is readily available, also called process air here.
- the fluidized bed is, for example, a turbulent fluidized bed or an impacting fluidized bed.
- the process gas is at least that fluidized bed into which the particles directly after their Generation occur, fed into the fluidized bed in several separate zones.
- the formulation immediately after its formation includes that after its formation, other processes take place before the particles first enter a fluidized bed - for example, they hit the envelope before they fall from the envelope into the fluidized bed.
- a hitherto customary single feed i.e. feed in a single zone - for example a distributor plate at the bottom of the vessel comprising the fluidized bed, through which gas is fed from a single feed - and thus with a single pressure - the feed does not take place in a single zone but in multiple zones.
- the separate zones adjoin one another and cover the entire base area of the fluidized bed.
- the base of the fluidized bed is covered by this single zone.
- it is supplied in at least two zones, preferably in at least three zones, particularly preferably at least four zones.
- it can be fed in two zones or in three zones or in four zones or in five zones or in six zones or in seven zones or in eight zones or in nine zones or in ten zones or in more than ten zones.
- the inventive supply of the process gas into the fluidized bed in several separate zones makes it possible to set different conditions zone by zone; for example by control and / or regulation.
- different pressures can be selected for the supplied process gas in different zones.
- the volume flow - that is, the volume of process gas supplied to the fluidized bed per unit of time - can be selected differently in different zones.
- pressure and / or volume flow can be changed zone by zone, possibly independently of other zones.
- a for example temporarily, causing differences with respect to pressure and / or
- Volume flow may be desired in order to compensate for differences in bed height of the fluidized bed between different areas; Such differences can occur, for example, as a result of an asymmetrically distributed impact on the envelope and correspondingly asymmetrically distributed falling into the fluidized bed.
- a for example, temporary
- a for example, temporary
- Causing differences in pressure and / or volume flow may be desired in order to compensate for differences in the degree of fluidization in the fluidized bed between different areas.
- a for example, temporary
- Causing differences in pressure and / or volume flow may be desired in order to bring agglomerates deposited in only one area at the bottom of the fluidized bed into a fluidized state.
- a for example, temporary
- Zone-wise divisibility also offers the advantage that an increase in the amount of process gas to eliminate
- Irregularities is limited, which is advantageous for achieving the highest possible temperature of the process exhaust gas leaving the granulator. Heat recovery from this process exhaust gas is more efficient at higher temperatures. This means that even when operating fluidized beds with a large base area and the resulting large amounts of process gas Energy recovery from the process exhaust gas is possible in an efficient and economically viable manner.
- the process gas is fed into the fluidized bed in several separate zones, but the fluidized bed itself is not divided into partial fluidized beds by devices such as walls, which together form the fluidized bed of the device for dry granulation - mixing would be inhibited, for example, and particles could stick. There is therefore a fluidized bed in which process gas is fed in in several separate zones.
- the volume flow and / or pressure of the process gas is controlled and / or regulated in at least two zones independently of other zones.
- the pressure of the process gas means the pressure under which the process gas is when it is delivered to the fluidized bed.
- the height of the fluidized bed is determined above, preferably perpendicularly above, at least two zones.
- the determination can take place directly - by height measurement - or indirectly - by calculation from other types of measured variables.
- the height of the fluidized bed in an area is determined, for example, based on pressure measurement in the fluidized bed, for example at the bottom of the fluidized bed, in this area.
- the temperature in the fluidized bed is determined over, preferably vertically over, at least two zones.
- the determination can take place directly - by temperature measurement - or indirectly - by calculation from other types of measured variables.
- the temperature of the fluidized bed in an area is determined, for example, based on measurements with a thermocouple or a resistance thermometer.
- the intensity of the fluidized bed is determined over, preferably perpendicularly over, at least one of the zones.
- the determination can take place, for example, on the basis of measurements of the pressure in the fluidized bed, preferably fixed locally above the floor of the fluidized bed, or evaluation of the course of the pressure development over time.
- This provides information, for example, about irregularities in the fluidized bed and the mixing, and the associated risk of hot spots or agglomerations or deviations from the desired properties of the granulate, such as bulk density and particle size distribution.
- the intensity of the fluidized bed results from the time course of the pressure in the fluidized bed or can be read from it. There are various methods for recording the intensity.
- Detection of the minimum (mini) and maximum (maxi) pressure values occurring within a defined time period B is between 5 seconds and 5 minutes, preferably between 15 seconds and 1 minute.Determination of an average value of all recorded pressure measurements within a time period C.
- the duration of the selected time period C is between 10 sec and 10 min, preferably between 1 min and 3 min.
- Time period B lies at the end of time period C, but completely in time period C.
- Time period B is always shorter or equal to time period C.
- the differences The mean and maxi pressure values are formed and say something about the intensity of the fluidized bed. Determination of a standard deviation - or similar methods of determining deviations - of the recorded measured values for the pressure within a defined time span D.
- the duration of the selected time span D is between 5 sec and 5 min, preferably between 15 sec and 1 min Intensity.
- the greater the value of the intensity the greater the intensity of the fluidized bed. For example, if the pressure fluctuates strongly around a time average value within a defined period of time, the intensity increases speak, or if there is little fluctuation, of low intensity.
- the mentioned features of the height of the fluidized bed, temperature in the fluidized bed, intensity of the fluidized bed can be used to control and / or regulate the process.
- the regulation or control can take place, for example, in such a way that deviations from average values or specifications for these parameters as a result of monitoring are perceived at individual measuring points for determining altitude or temperature or intensity - or other parameters.
- the volume flow of the process gas in a zone can be increased if the temperature in the fluidized bed above this zone is too high, or if the temperature is too low, the volume flow can be reduced.
- the volume flow of the process gas in a zone can also be increased if the height of the fluidized bed above this zone is too great; too many particles are transported away from the area through increased mixing, or if the height is too low, the volume flow is reduced.
- the volume flow of the process gas in a zone can also be increased if the intensity of the fluidized bed above this zone is too low, or if the intensity is too high, the volume flow can be reduced.
- the particles generated during dry granulation are cooled in at least one fluidized bed by means of process gas. It can therefore be cooled in a fluidized bed, or in several fluidized beds; in the case of several fluidized beds, the particles pass through them one after the other.
- cooling to a final temperature is carried out in stages, first in the fluidized bed into which the particles enter directly after their generation, to a primary cooling temperature, and then in at least one further fluidized bed to the final temperature.

If, after removal from the second subsequent fluidized bed, no further fluidized bed is added, the second subsequent temperature is the final temperature.
- the end temperature is the temperature that was present when the fluidized bed was taken from the last fluidized bed with regard to the cooling process.

- Particles or granules from the subsequent fluidized bed in fluidized bed space area 12b have the intermediate temperature T PX .
- the process exhaust gas from the fluidized bed space region 12c is process gas from the fluidized bed space region 12b.
- the process exhaust gas from the fluidized bed space region 12b is process gas from the fluidized bed space region 12a. Since the respective gas supply lines are at the same time the gas discharge lines of another area of the fluidized bed space, they have an opening of a gas discharge line from another area of the fluidized bed space.
- FIG. 4 schematically shows an arrangement with a plurality of fluidized bed space areas 13a, 13b, 13c with respect to
- Process exhaust gas from that fluidized bed into which the particles enter directly after their generation - i.e. the primary fluidized bed - in fluidized bed area 13a is after mixing together with at least a portion of the process exhaust gas from the two further fluidized beds - or
- the same process gas is fed to the primary fluidized bed and the subsequent fluidized beds via the gas feed line 14, which branches off accordingly.
- the flow of particles into the primary fluidized bed, from the primary fluidized bed into the subsequent fluidized bed in fluidized bed area 13b, from there into the subsequent fluidized bed in fluidized bed area 13c, and from the subsequent fluidized bed in fluidized bed area 13c is shown with thick arrows.
- the particles are cooled to the primary temperature T PP , in the subsequent fluidized bed in the fluidized bed area 13c to the Final temperature T PE .
- Exhaust gas 15 from the subsequent fluidized bed in fluidized bed area 13c has the final temperature T GE
- exhaust gas 16 from the primary fluidized bed has the primary temperature T GP.
- These two exhaust gases are discharged from the granulator together with the exhaust gas from the fluidized bed area 13b - with a temperature T GX from the cooling of the particles to the temperature T PX - achieve a mixed temperature T GPE, the respective gas discharge lines merge.
