  Hereinafter, a noble metal scrap processing method and processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of a precious metal scrap processing apparatus according to the present invention. The illustrated precious metal scrap processing apparatus 1 (hereinafter referred to as “processing apparatus 1”) is roughly composed of a rotary kiln 10 as a first combustion furnace, a stoker furnace 21a as a second combustion furnace, and a third A secondary combustion furnace 21b, which is a combustion furnace, is provided.

  The rotary kiln 10 includes a cylindrical horizontal rotary furnace 11, and an inlet 12 for introducing the noble metal scrap 2 a is provided on one end surface, and a discharge port 13 is provided on the opposite end surface. It has been. The rotary furnace 11 is arranged so as to be slightly inclined toward the discharge port 13 and can be rotated by a motor (not shown). A burner 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the inlet 12, and by burning a fuel such as heavy oil, a flame is blown out into the furnace so that the inside of the furnace can be kept at a high temperature. . In general, the in-furnace temperature is kept at a high temperature of 800 ° C. or higher when incinerating general industrial wastes, but in the present invention, the precious metal scrap 2a is not burned. As will be described later, the precious metal scrap 2a is gasified and thermally decomposed by maintaining the temperature in the furnace at 600 to 700 ° C. while preventing free air from entering the furnace. In this way, the precious metal scrap 2a charged into the furnace from the charging port 12 gradually moves toward the discharge port 13 while being stirred in a high-temperature atmosphere, and is thermally decomposed to combustible pyrolysis gas and gas. It becomes the chemical reduction volume 2b.

  Here, the precious metal scrap 2a to be charged into the rotary kiln 10 is pulverized to a predetermined size by a pulverizer (not shown) and stored. Through the rotary furnace 11. Table 1 shows an example of the quality of the precious metals contained in the various precious metal scraps 2a.

  The end surface of the rotary kiln 10 on the discharge port 13 side is connected to a stalker furnace 21a, and the gasification volume-reduction product 2b discharged from the discharge port 13 is a grate (stoker: hereinafter referred to as “grate”) of the stalker furnace 21a. The pyrolysis gas is introduced into the secondary combustion furnace 21b which is the third combustion furnace. The rotary kiln 10 of the rotary kiln 10 according to the present invention has a shorter length than a general one. Specifically, the length of the rotary kiln 11 is 1.5 to 2 times the inner diameter when compared with the inner diameter. It is a rotary furnace 11 of 5 times short type. Moreover, the rotational speed of the rotary furnace 11 is configured to be able to be rotated in a range of at least 0.04 to 0.5 rpm by a speed reducer (not shown), and by processing at such a rotational speed, the precious metal scrap 2a It is possible to prevent a short pass and to carry out thermal decomposition by holding in the rotary furnace 11 for at least one hour.

  In addition, the seal member 16 is firmly inserted in a connecting portion between the rotary kiln 10 and the stoker furnace 21a so that free air does not enter. The seal member 16 is a ring-shaped packing member. The seal member 16 is pressed by a seal ring (not shown) to urge the seal member 16, and even when the seal member 16 is worn by the rotation of the rotary furnace 11, the gaps are sequentially formed. Filling always ensures a complete seal. As a result, the air ratio with respect to the precious metal scrap 2a in the rotary furnace 11 is maintained at 0.4 or less to promote thermal decomposition.

  The stoker furnace 21a is a combustion furnace in which the gasification and volume reduction material 2b is supplied onto the grate 22 and the air is blown from the lower side of the grate 22 to perform a combustion process, and radiant heat and combustion from the furnace wall and flame The incineration treatment of the gasification reduced product 2b is performed by contact heat transfer with gas. The grate 22 is movable, and the gasified and reduced product 2b is combusted while being sequentially transferred downstream by the grate 22. In addition, the gasification volume-reduced product 2b is guided downstream by a pusher 25 that is movable by a hydraulic cylinder. Thereby, the gasification volume-reduction thing 2b discharged | emitted from the rotary furnace 11 falls on the grate 22 of the stoker furnace 21a, and is combusted, moving sequentially downstream. Meanwhile, air is sent from the lower side of the grate 22 to promote complete combustion of substances other than the noble metals contained in the gasification-reduced product 2b. And the incinerated ash 2c after combustion is accommodated in the container 28 and discharged as valuable metal containing soot. In addition, a recovery door 29 for recovering the gasified reduced volume 2b spilled from the grate 22 is provided on the lower side of the grate 22.

  The container 28 is disposed in a state of being connected to the lower side of the stoker furnace 21a by a bellows-like expansion in order to discharge the incinerated ash 2c that has been subjected to the combustion treatment. A cooling mechanism 27 for cooling the peripheral wall is provided on the upper side of the container 28. The cooling mechanism 27 cools the peripheral wall portion on the upper side of the container 28 by winding a cooling pipe (not shown) around the upper peripheral wall of the container 28 to circulate cooling water, and thereby falls from the grate 22. The incinerated ash 2c is cooled in the container 28. Cooling is performed so that the temperature in the container 28 is about 100 ° C. or lower. Thereby, when taking out the container 28, the combustible pyrolysis gas etc. which remain | survives in the high temperature incineration ash 2c is prevented from burning out by contacting with air. The recovered incinerated ash 2c is used as an intermediate raw material of a copper smelter, for example, so that the precious metal contained in the precious metal scrap is recycled.

  On the other hand, the combustible pyrolysis gas generated by pyrolyzing the precious metal scrap 2a is introduced into the secondary combustion furnace 21b located at the upper part of the stoker furnace 21a, and the burner 24 provided in the secondary combustion furnace 21b. Is completely burned. Further, the combustion exhaust gas generated when the gasification-reduced product 2b is incinerated in the stoker furnace 21a is also sent to the secondary combustion furnace 21b and completely combusted with the pyrolysis gas. Here, it is known that generation of dioxins in an incinerator can be suppressed by decomposing dioxins and their precursors at a high temperature by performing stable complete combustion. Therefore, combustion of pyrolysis gas is performed at a temperature of 900 ° C. or higher. The exhaust gas after burning the pyrolysis gas is sent to the quenching tower 40 communicated with the secondary combustion furnace 21b through the flue 31.

  The quenching tower 40 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 41 for spraying the cooling water. The cooling water is ejected from the nozzles 41 and sprayed toward the exhaust gas carried through the flue 31 to thereby reduce the exhaust gas. It is rapidly cooled so that the temperature becomes 80 ° C. or lower. It is said that de novo synthesis, which is one of the causes of dioxin generation, is most likely to occur at around 300 ° C., and the generation of dioxins is suppressed by allowing it to pass at once without staying in the temperature range for a long time. The exhaust gas cooled to 80 ° C. or lower is washed with an alkaline washing liquid in the washing tower 45 and further conveyed to the mist cot rel 50 through the duct 32. The exhaust gas is exhausted through the exhaust duct 33 in a completely detoxified state after dust and mist are removed by the mist cot rel 50. In addition, although the processing apparatus 1 which combined the rotary kiln and the stoker furnace was demonstrated as preferable embodiment, it is not limited to this, For example, a 1st combustion furnace is made into said kiln type gasification melting furnace, flow A bed type gasification melting furnace, a shaft furnace gasification melting furnace, or the like can be used. In addition to the above-described stoker furnace, a fluidized bed furnace or the like can also be used.

  Next, the precious metal scrap processing method according to the present invention will be described together with the operation of the processing apparatus 1 described above. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the precious metal scrap processing method according to the present invention.

  The precious metal scrap 2a is pulverized to a predetermined size and stored in advance by a pulverizer (not shown), and the crushed precious metal scrap 2a is thrown into the hopper 3 by the crane bucket 5 and stored. Is inserted into the rotary furnace 11 of the rotary kiln 10 which is the first combustion furnace through the charging port 12 (step S1).

  In the rotary furnace 11, the temperature in the furnace is maintained at 600 to 700 ° C. by the burner 14, and the precious metal scrap 2 a introduced from the inlet 12 is prevented from entering free air in such a high temperature atmosphere. However, the precious metal scrap 2a is thermally decomposed by holding for at least 1 hour, and becomes a combustible pyrolysis gas and a gasification-reduced product 2b. The rotary furnace 11 is a short type kiln whose length is 1.5 to 2.5 times the internal diameter and shorter than a normal one, and is 0.04 to 0.5 rpm when the precious metal scrap 2a is thermally decomposed. The precious metal scrap 2a is kept in the rotary furnace 11 for at least 1 hour to perform sufficient thermal decomposition. The gasified volume-reduced product 2b is gradually moved in the direction of the discharge port 13 by the rotation of the rotary furnace 11 and a slight inclination thereof, and is discharged onto the grate 22 in the stoker furnace 21a as the second combustion furnace. On the other hand, combustible pyrolysis gas is introduced into the secondary combustion furnace 21b located at the upper part of the stoker furnace 21a (step S2).

  The gasification volume-reduction product 2b dropped on the grate 22 in the stalker furnace 21a is further burned while moving downstream. In the meantime, air is sent from the lower side of the grate 22 to promote complete combustion of combustible substances other than the noble metals contained in the gasification-reduced product 2b. And the incinerated ash 2c after combustion is accommodated in the container 28 arrange | positioned at the lower part side of the stoker furnace 21a as valuable metal containing soot, and is discharged | emitted. At this time, the incinerated ash 2c falling from the grate 22 is cooled to 100 ° C. or less by the cooling mechanism 27 provided on the upper side of the container 28, and stored in the container 28 (step S3). Thereby, when taking out the container 28, it is prevented that the combustible substance which remain | survives in the high temperature incineration ash 2c comes out by contacting with air. And the precious metal contained in precious metal scrap is collect | recovered and recycled by using the collect | recovered incineration ash 2c as an intermediate raw material of a copper smelter, for example.

  On the other hand, the combustible pyrolysis gas is burned at a temperature of 900 ° C. or higher by the burner 24 of the secondary combustion furnace 21b (step S4). Since the precious metal scrap 2a is not burned in the rotary furnace 11 of the rotary kiln 10 but burned as combustible pyrolysis gas in the secondary combustion furnace 21b, the progress of deterioration due to overheating of the rotary furnace 11 is prevented, Suppression of the production of dioxins and their precursors is achieved. The exhaust gas after burning the pyrolysis gas is sent to the quenching tower 40 communicated with the secondary combustion furnace 21b through the flue 31, and the cooling water is sprayed from the plurality of nozzles 41 so that the temperature is 80 ° C. or less. (Step S5). In this way, the generation of dioxins is suppressed by passing through a temperature zone around 300 ° C., which is said to be most likely to generate de novo synthesis, which is one of the causes of dioxin generation.

  Then, the exhaust gas cooled to 80 ° C. or less is washed with an alkaline washing liquid in the washing tower 45 and conveyed to the mist cot rel 50, and after exhausting dust and mist, it is exhausted in a completely detoxified state ( Step S6).

  As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described in detail, and is within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Needless to say, various modifications and changes are possible.
