Description
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREHEATING AND SMELTING MANGANESE ORE SINTER
Field of the invention
The invention relates to a method for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter as defined in the preamble of independent claim 1.
The invention also relates to an apparatus for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter as defined in the preamble of independent claim 14.
Objective of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a method and an arrangement for energy efficient smelting manganese ore sinter.
Short description of the invention
The method for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter is characterized by the definitions of independent claim 1.
Preferred embodiments of the method are defined in the dependent claims 2 to 13.
The apparatus for preheating smelting manganese ore sinter is correspondingly characterized by the definitions of independent claim 14.
Preferred embodiments of the apparatus are defined in the dependent claims 16 to 26.
The invention is based on preheating the feed mixture containing at least manganese ore sinter and 30 reducing agent in order to eliminate the moisture from the feed mixture and to preheat the feed mixture to as high a temperature as possible without burning or loosing carbon in the reduction agent required for reduction purposes in the feed mixture.
In preheating of manganese containing, the carbon consuming reactions, especially the Boudouard reaction (C(s) + CO2(g) θ 2CO (g) ) , is an limiting factor. Water gas reaction occurs also, H2O + C H2 + CO. Thus the
20155868 prh 16-01-2018 preheating temperature in the pre-treatment silo can locally be maximum 600 to 700 °C, depending on the reactivity of the carbon in the reducing agent of the feed mixture. The average temperature of the hot charge to the electric furnace is typically below 600°C.
Preheating of the feed mixture saves electrical energy of the submerged electric arc furnace, improves the operation, improves production and safety of the smelting by preventing reaction between carbon and oxygen in the feed mixture and prevents thus uncontrolled increase of temperature and possible explosions .

Carbon components of charcoal starts to gasify at 10 450°C.
It was observed that a mixture of where charcoal is used as reducing agent 3 can be preheated to a temperature of 400°C without the carbon gasification. The charcoal starts to oxidize either through the
Boudouard reaction or through the water-gas-reaction.

In addition, the oxygen content and the water in the carbon dioxide containing carbonaceous gas 9 should be low to avoid oxidizing of the carbon.
Example 4
In an apparatus according to figure 2, manganese sinter as defined table 4 was fed at a feed rate of 131 kg/h, and reducing agent as defined in row Coke in table 5 was fed at a feed rate of 24 kg/h into the pre10 treatment silo 8. Carbonaceous gas containing 57 vol-% N2, 30 vol-%, CO2 and 11 vol.% H2O and having a temperature of 850°C was fed at a feed rate of 970 m3/h into the pre-treatment silo 8
Carbon of coke starts to gasify at 700°C.
It was observed that a mixture of where coke is used as reducing agent 3 can be preheated to a temperature of 650°C without the carbon in the coke starts to oxidize either through the Boudouard reaction or through the water-gas-reaction. In addition, the oxygen content and the water in the carbon dioxide containing carbonaceous gas 9 should be low to avoid oxidizing of the carbon.
It is apparent to a person skilled in the art that as technology advanced, the basic idea of the invention can be implemented in various ways. The invention and its embodiments are therefore not restricted to the above examples, but they may vary within the scope of the claims .
