Definitions

  • the present invention relates to relieving a base tier of refractory-brick wall of the weight loads they conventionally bear in supporting the upper tiers refractory-brick wall in vertically oriented furnaces. And more specifically to modular liquid-cooled cantilever support shelves for upper tiers of refractory brick walls that fix to the horizontal web-rings of steel containment shells.
  • AUSMELT ® / ISASMELT TM non-ferrous smelters drop moist solid feeds from above into a tall cylindrical furnace with a matte/metal/slag bath while also blowing oxygen-enriched air down in through a submerged vertical lance.
  • AUSMELT ® of Outotec, and ISASMELT TM of Glencore Technology. Once fully melted, the matte/slag is periodically tapped into another furnace for separation. These are often referred to as Top Submerged Lance (TSL) furnaces.
  • the AUSMELT top submerged lance technology optimizes feed material dissolution, energy transfer, reaction, primary combustion, and other critical processes which all take place in the slag layer inside the smelter vessel. Submerging the gas injection ensures that reactions occur rapidly and residence times will be low due to an intense agitation that is caused in the vessel.
  • the degree of oxidation and reduction can be controlled by adjusting the fuel: oxygen ratio supplied to the lance, and the proportion of reductant coal to feed. This easy way to control the oxidation and reduction enables the furnace to be selectively operated between strongly oxidizing through strongly reducing conditions. Operating temperatures in AUSMELT top submerged lance furnaces can range from 900°C to 1400°C.
  • ISASMELT furnaces are top-entry submerged-lance upright- cylindrical shaped steel vessels that are lined with refractory bricks. Inside at the bottom of the furnace, in the "liquid zone", is a molten bath of slag, matte, or metal. A hollow steel lance is lowered into the bath through a hole in the roof of the furnace, and air or oxygen-enriched air is forcefully injected through the lance to agitate the bath.
  • Mineral concentrates and other materials are dropped into the bath from above through a hole in the roof. If suitably fine, such materials can also be injected down the lance with the air. An intense reaction results in a small volume when the feed materials contact, heat, and react with the oxygen in the injected gas.
  • Lances may include "swirlers" that force the injected gas to vortex against the walls inside to more effectively cool the lance's walls.
  • a layer of slag will freeze on the air-cooled walls.
  • Such frozen slag helps isolate the steel lance from the surrounding temperatures which could be high enough to melt the lance if contacted directly.
  • the steel tip of all submerged lances will wear out from the immediately surrounding violence and need replacement.
  • the good news is worn lances are easily refurbished and replaced. The worn tips are simply cut off and new tips are welded onto the original lance body.
  • ISASMELT furnaces typically operate in the range of 1000- 1200 °C, depending on their application.
  • the refractory bricks that line the inside floors and walls of the furnaces are there to protect the steel shell from the severe heat inside the furnace that would otherwise quickly melt the steel shell.
  • Refractory bricks are subject to corrosion, wear, uneven heating, swelling with ingrained melt, and fractures because they are brittle. But the refractory bricks in the liquid bath zone of a furnace are especially subject to corrosion and thinning. So as they corrode and thin, they are less able to support the weight of refractory brick wall lining above. (Conventional practice has been to direct the entire weight of the complete refractory brick wall lining vertically down to its ring footing.) Embodiments of the present invention divide the weight amongst one or more upper tiers each fitted with cantilevered shelves.
  • Smelted products are removed from furnaces through tap holes in a procedure called "tapping" .
  • tapping can be continuous, or done in batches.
  • the tap holes can be closed by blocking them with clay plugs. They can be reopened by thermic lances and/or by drilling.
  • the melt can be removed from the furnace using either an underflow or an overflow weir for continuous discharge of molten material.
  • the smelted products thus tapped will separate on their own once they arrive and settle in a rotary holding furnace, an electric furnace, a settling vessel, a melt-transporting ladle, or granulated.
  • the furnaces we are concerned with here stack refractory- brick in walls that are not fixed to the inner walls of the steel vessels.
  • the bricks in these walls wear differently due to variances in abrasion, corrosion, and other factors that occur below the bath level and above the bath level.
  • the portion of refractory-brick walls at the bottom around the bath zone has to bear the most weight and is subject to severe wear.
  • furnace embodiments of the present invention include at least one row of fixed copper coolers arranged in a cantilevered horizontal shelf inside. These are fastened to an external steel ring support through fenestrations in the steel containment shell. These shelves take all the weight of refractory brick and floating cooling blocks stacked on them and redirect the weight into the steel containment shell. Each fixed copper cooler in the shelves hangs shoulder-to-shoulder to cantilever over any refractory brick and floating cooling blocks stacked beneath. The lower portion of the wall is thus relieved of the weight of the upper wall. When relieved of such weight, the risks of sudden catastrophic failure of the lower walls are reduced. These bricks in the lower walls can also be allowed to wear and thin beyond what would be reasonable in a conventional design without any cantilevered shelving.
  • Shelves of fixed cantilevered copper coolers in embodiments of the present invention provide full support of the weight of walls of brick and floating cooling blocks stacked in rows and ringed around just inside the steel containment shells of furnaces. Some furnace applications will require two or more such shelves of fixed cantilevered copper coolers and brick.
  • Any vertical copper coolers or rings of cooling blocks lower in the furnace and situated below a shelf ring of fixed cantilever copper coolers will be independently supported from below.
  • Any rings of copper coolers positioned below a fixed cantilever copper cooler can have brick, castable, rammix, plastic refractory, or no refractory facings. Hard facings welded on them would also be appropriate.
  • Our fixed cantilever copper coolers partition tall refractory linings into shorter independent stacks and thereby eliminate conventional problems with differential thermal expansion. These shelves of fixed cantilever copper coolers reduce the risks of sudden failure where only brick is placed below. Such lower brick can suffer severe local wear and may buckle and fail if it must bear the weight of brick above. So the shelves of fixed cantilever copper coolers take the weight and vertical pressure off the high wear lower brick, and reduce the possibility of sudden brick lining wall collapse.
  • Fig. 1A includes a portion of a vertically orientated metal smelting or converting furnace 100 in which at least a part of its steel shelled vessel is cylindrical.
  • a steel containment shell 102 is externally reinforced and braced by welded on vertical ribs 104 and steel external support rings 106.
  • Horizontal rows of fenestrations 108 just above the steel external support rings 106 allow individual cantilevered copper coolers arranged on a horizontal shelf 110 to be inserted from inside and bolted down.
  • heavy fasteners 112 are used to bolt down two each fingered projections of the individual cantilevered copper coolers that pass through fenestrations 108. These then can support a lot of weight inside above on the shelf 110.
  • Each individual cantilevered copper cooler arranged in horizontal shelf 110 is typically made of cast copper. And as such, the copper hot face must be protected from wear, abrasion, and corrosion by slag, matte or other frozen material that is assisted in adhering by grooves, pockets, or other textured patterns in the vertical face.
  • Furnace 100 is fully lined inside with walls of refractory brick 120 stacked dry or mortared to one another. These are set with paste, castable, powder, rammix, brick, and/or mortar up against steel containment shell 102. Some installations will include floating cooling blocks 122. And these can be faced with castable or rammed refractory to protect their hot face from wear. Areas which could be exposed to wear or oxidation may be protected with a weld overlay or other hardfacing.
  • Hardfacings like weld overlays applied to copper cooling blocks will increase their wear resistance, and thus increase the campaign life of the furnace. Wear results from abrasion, impacts, metal-to-metal contacts, heat, and corrosion of the hot face surface.
  • hardfacings are applied as a weld overlay of molten metal in an inert shield gas.
  • One useful material that will produce good results is any alloy between nickel and chromium that has a minimum of 55% nickel, a minimum of 18% chromium, and a maximum of 6% iron.
  • Fig. 1A represents the situation in which the individual cantilevered copper coolers are arranged in a horizontal shelf 110 just above the furnace bath zone. Below, bathline or vertical stave copper coolers 124 will be used with more refractory brick 126. The top of this stack, just under the individual cantilevered copper coolers arranged in a horizontal shelf 110, is sealed with an expansion material or mortar 128. Such bears no weight from above because the individual cantilevered copper coolers are arranged in horizontal shelf 110 diverts all its weight and the weight of bricks 120 and floating cooling blocks 122 out onto steel external support ring 106 and then into steel containment shell 102.
  • Fig. 1B represents an alternative situation in which the individual cantilevered copper coolers are arranged in a horizontal shelf 110 above another wall of stacked refractory bricks 120 and floating cooling blocks 122. As in a second tier. The top of this stack too, just under the individual cantilevered copper coolers arranged in horizontal shelf 110 is sealed with an expansion material or mortar 128. Such again bears no weight from above because the individual cantilevered copper coolers arranged in horizontal shelf 110 will divert all its weight and the weight of the upper refractory bricks 120 and floating cooling blocks 122 out into steel external support ring 106 and then onto steel containment shell 102.
  • Fig. 2 is intended to show how the weight of refractory brick in any upper tier is diverted by the individual cantilevered copper coolers arranged in horizontal shelves.
  • a furnace 200 has a steel containment shell 202 fenestrated in two horizontal rows. Each row of fenestrations allows an upper partition weight 204 of an upper tier of bricks and floating cooling blocks to transfer through a fixed cantilevered shelf 206 outside to a steel external support ring 208. All the weight is diverted 210 into the steel containment shell.
  • the lower row of fenestrations allows a middle partition weight 212 of middle tier of bricks and floating cooling blocks to transfer through a fixed cantilevered shelf 214 outside to a steel external support ring 216. All this weight too is diverted 218 into the steel containment shell.
  • the refractory brick in the lower partition contains a liquid bath of slag, matte, and/or metal.
  • Such liquid bath is highly corrosive to refractory brick and will thin the brick over time. Such thinning will eventually compromise the ability of the refractory brick lining to support the weight of more elevated sections of refractory brick lining.
  • Embodiments of the present therefore include at least a vertical slip joint or a compressible refractory material to seal the areas just under the cantilever shelf of copper coolers.
  • Figs. 3A-3F represent an improved AUSMELT furnace 300 with a steel containment shell 302 in an embodiment of the present invention. These furnaces are improved to separate and fully support a refractory brick lining above a bath zone with at least one horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 308 fixed externally to a cylindrical steel vessel.
  • the cantilever shelf 308 is detailed more fully by Fig. 4 with a plan view, e.g., ring row of cantilever copper coolers 400.
  • a second horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 210 is also independently fixed externally to the cylindrical steel vessel 208.
  • the second horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 210 may include a splash block 212 and is detailed more fully by Fig. 6 with a plan view, e.g., ring row of cantilever copper coolers 600.
  • This second horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 210 need not necessarily include splash block 212. In such case, the second horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 210 could be identical to the first horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 206 as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the benefit in bolting both the first and second horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelves 206 and 210 with fasteners to the cylindrical steel vessel 208 is their respective weight loads can be fully redirected into the steel vessel 208, and off the refractory brick in bath zone 204.
  • the cylindrical steel vessel 208 is therefore conscripted to carry all such weight.
  • the more elevated refractory brick lining and horizontal copper coolers 214 and 216 are allowed to float because they will expand vertically upwards as the refractory material swells over the campaign life.
  • An external, horizontal steel ring rib 220 is an important structural component of the cylindrical steel vessel 208. Such provides a strong ledge on which machine bolts can be used to secure the individual copper coolers of the first horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 206.
  • Fig. 4 shows cantilever shelf 206 in more detail with a plan view.
  • FIG. 6 shows cantilever shelf 210 in more detail with a plan view. Such mounting details are better illustrated in Figs. 3A and 3B .
  • Figs. 3A and 3B are side view diagrams of a horizontal copper cooler cantilever shelf 300 as it appears from outside a cylindrical steel vessel 302.
  • a vertically orientated metal smelting furnace embodiment of the present invention similar to that of Figs. 1 and 2A-2C.
  • the cylindrical steel vessel 302 is fabricated from thick plates of steel welded together into a cylinder with a rounded bottom.
  • the cylinder is reinforced with external vertical and horizontal ribs, flanges, and gussets of plate steel.
  • One such reinforcement is a flat steel ring 304 that functions as a horizontal rib to steel vessel 302 and a landing on which to bolt mounting foot-mounting bosses of individual cantilever copper coolers 306 and 308.
  • the individual cantilever copper coolers 306 and 308 do not float inside steel vessel 302. All the other vertical and horizontal copper coolers do need to float as the refractory brick they cool swells and expands over the campaign life of the furnace. Such ability to float is hinted at by the many large oversize holes that perforate the steel vessel 302 to accommodate numerous liquid coolant line connections visible in Figs. 2A-2C and especially 3A.
  • Fig. 3B shows details on how the individual cantilever copper coolers 306 and 308 can be fastened externally to horizontal rib 304.
  • Each cantilever copper cooler 306 and 308 has a left and a ring mounting foot-mounting boss 310 and 312 that protrude through corresponding shell cutouts in steel vessel 302.
  • a set of large machine bolts 314-317 are used here for each cantilever copper cooler 306 and 308. Such can be better understood by viewing the following illustrations.
  • Fig. 4 represents how individual cantilever copper coolers in a ring row of cantilever copper coolers 400 can be shaped using individual cantilever copper coolers 401 and 402 to render them independently and individually replaceable.
  • the ring row of cantilever copper coolers 400 of Fig. 4 includes even numbers of cantilever copper coolers 401 and 402.
  • Figs. 5A-5D represent a typical pair of matching cantilever copper coolers 501 and 502 that are used to make up the ring row of cantilever copper coolers 400 of Fig. 4 .
  • Each has a top face populated with textured pockets 504 (typ.) that help refractory castable adhere and seal out gas leaks with a refractory brick lining above.
  • each has a hot face that is similarly populated with textured pockets 506 (typ.) that help frozen slag and refractory castable adhere.
  • Fig. 5D represents a V-slot 520 between adjacent cantilever copper coolers 501 and 502 that forms by beveling the sides of each copper cooler by about 10°.
  • the cantilever copper coolers 501 and 502 were 8.0" thick copper, and V-slot 520 was 0.5" minimum at the bottom and 3.1" maximum at the top.
  • a one inch diameter roll of refractory plastic or RAM is placed in the bottom of V-slot 520.
  • chrome alumina castable or RAM is used to backfill V-slot 520 to within 0.12" of the top face of copper. The remainder is filled in with refractory grain to level.
  • Each cantilever copper cooler 501 and 502 has one or more mounting foot-mounting bosses 508-511 drilled for machine bolts 512-519.
  • a V-wedge of castable thus formed at each radial joint locks on top of the copper coolers, helps support the refractory brick above, and prevents any flow of hot smelting gases between the copper coolers.
  • Fig. 6 represents how a splash block 212 (Fig. 2A) is combined with four types of individual cantilever copper coolers in a ring 600.
  • the shapes allow individual cantilever copper coolers to be removed and replaced in maintenance.
  • Cantilever copper coolers 601 and 602 are the same as cantilever copper coolers 401 and 402 of Fig. 4 . Additional cantilever copper coolers 603-604 are needed to fit square with splash block 212.
  • Alternative embodiments may not include this second cantilevered cantilever shelf 600, while still others may have a third and a fourth.
  • a steel shelf may also be installed immediately above any horizontal cantilever shelf of copper coolers to provide continuing support of the refractory brick above it should there be a loss of liquid cooling.
  • a method embodiment of the present invention extends the campaign life of refractory brick in vertically orientated metal smelting or converting furnaces.
  • a vertically orientated metal smelting or converting furnace vessel is partitioned into bath zone and at least one upper zone above the bath zone.
  • the inside of the bath zone of the vessel is lined with a first lining of refractory brick such that its weight is fully supported by a floor at the bottom.
  • a first horizontal ringed cantilever shelf of individually and independently replaceable liquid-cooled cooling elements are fastened at a fixed elevation and are mechanically fully supported by their respective attachments on the outside of the furnace vessel above the bath zone.
  • the inside of a first upper zone of the vessel is lined with a second lining of refractory brick such that its weight is mechanically fully supported by a protruding ledge of the first horizontal cantilever shelf.
  • Fig. 7 represents a steel failsafe shelf support hanger 700 to keep and avert a collapse of a brick wall 702 otherwise normally supported by individual cantilevered copper coolers arranged in horizontal shelf 110.
  • Brick wall 702 is brittle and should not move or shift if such failsafe must engage.
  • a complete loss of cooling in the individual cantilevered copper coolers can allow the copper material to get hot enough to melt and fail as a structural support self.
  • the steel failsafe shelf support hanger 700 need only hold off a collapse of brick wall 702 long enough to allow the furnace to be shut down and a repair crew sent in to replace copper cooler shelf 110.
