  When zinc is extracted from the collected fly ash and is to be recycled, if the collected fly ash does not have a zinc concentration of at least 50%, the processing burden associated with zinc collection is large and the zinc collection efficiency is poor. However, in the conventional roasting furnace, the concentration of zinc contained in the recovered fly ash is low, and in particular, since the device configuration is not intended for zinc recovery, zinc is efficiently recovered from zinc-containing ash. It was difficult.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a zinc recovery apparatus that can efficiently recover zinc from zinc-containing ash.

  In the present invention, at least zinc of the metal contained in the ash is vaporized, and the vaporized zinc is recovered by the recovery means, so that there is little contamination with impurities, and zinc can be efficiently recovered in a state suitable for reuse.

Furthermore , since molten slag is discharged from the roasting furnace at a high temperature, the use of molten slag as a heat source for vaporizing zinc suppresses the consumption of new fuel to obtain the heat source, and energy efficient zinc Can be recovered.

  Furthermore, the molten material discharged from the roasting furnace is further separated into molten metal and molten slag by a specific gravity difference, and further provided with a molten slag separation unit that supplies molten slag having a light specific gravity separated from the molten metal to the heating chamber. It is preferable. Since the molten metal and the molten slag are separated from the melt and only the molten slag is supplied to the heating chamber, the molten metal can be recovered and reused.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the recovery means has a splash condenser that contains molten zinc and condenses the zinc vaporized in the heating chamber. By condensing and recovering vaporized zinc with a splash condenser, efficient recovery of zinc becomes possible.

  Further, it is preferable that the recovery means has a cooling means for cooling the zinc vaporized in the heating chamber to cause a phase transition from gas to solid. Since vaporized zinc can be solidified and recovered by a cooling means, zinc can be efficiently recovered as a solid.

  Further, the cooling means stores cooling water that contacts the gaseous zinc and causes the zinc to undergo a phase transition from gas to solid, and also includes a precipitation tank that precipitates and separates zinc in the cooling water, and cooling water drawn from the precipitation tank. It is preferable that the gaseous zinc is introduced into the ejector and stirred and mixed with the cooling water. Gaseous zinc is cooled by being in contact with cooling water efficiently while being stirred by the ejector. Therefore, the phase transition from gas to solid is efficiently performed, and further, precipitation is separated in the precipitation tank. As a result, it is possible to efficiently recover high-purity solid zinc.

  According to the present invention, zinc can be efficiently recovered from zinc-containing ash.

The fixed amount supply device 8 may be a device that supplies the zinc-containing material W1 and the like into the roasting furnace 7 by a screw conveyor or the like.

  The zinc-containing material W1 supplied into the roasting furnace 7 is heated by the auxiliary burner 7c from the beginning of supply. In the roasting furnace 7, the zinc-containing material W1 is heated to 1500 ° C. or higher while being stirred, and moves from the receiving side Us to the discharging side Ds. In the roasting furnace 7, molten metal W3 and molten slag W4 containing iron in the zinc-containing material W1 and other metals having a high boiling point are generated and discharged from the outlet of the discharge side Ds.

  The melt W2 discharged from the roasting furnace 7 contains a molten metal W3 such as iron and a molten slag W4 that can be reused as resources. Since the specific gravity of the molten metal W3 is heavier than that of the molten slag W4, the molten metal W3 separates from the molten slag W4 and precipitates due to this specific gravity difference. The molten slag W4 separated from the molten metal W3 overflows from the tapered hole Th and is fed into the slag holding tank 11c. Above the specific gravity separation hopper 11a, an ejection port of the third transfer pipe 13c of the preheating oxygen pipe 13 is arranged, and high temperature oxygen is blown toward the surplus reducing agent (carbon) floating on the surface layer.

When a predetermined amount or more of molten slag W4 accumulates in the slag holding tank 11c, the on-off valve is opened, and the molten slag W4 is supplied to the smelting reduction tank 19. In the present embodiment, the molten slag separator 11 is provided in the lower part of the secondary combustion chamber 9 constituting the kiln rotary furnace 3A, but is provided independently of the kiln rotary furnace 3A, and the roasting furnace 7 The aspect connected to 3 A of kiln rotary furnaces via the transfer pipe | tube of the melt W2 discharged | emitted from A may be sufficient.

In the present embodiment, the splash condenser 23 and the zinc cooling unit 24 correspond to the recovery means.

  The smelting reduction tank 19 has a first chamber 19a and a second chamber 19b adjacent to the left and right. The first room 19a and the second room 19b are partitioned by a partition wall 19c with the upper part being in communication with the lower part.

The FA feeder 21 further includes a hopper 21b into which the fly ash Fa is charged and a screw conveyor 21c connected to the lower end of the hopper 21b. The fly ash Fa charged into the hopper 21b is transferred to the fly ash supply pipe 21a by the screw conveyor 21c, and supplied to the second chamber 19b through the fly ash supply pipe 21a. In the second chamber 19b, molten slag W4 having a high temperature of 1200 ° C. or higher is accommodated as a heat source, and a reducing atmosphere is formed. By supplying the fly ash Fa to the second chamber 19b, the zinc contained in the fly ash Fa is vaporized. The vaporized zinc is discharged together with the exhaust gas from a zinc discharge part 19d provided in the second chamber 19b. For the formation of the reducing atmosphere in the smelting reduction tank 19, an excessive reducing agent brought from the kiln rotary furnace 3A together with the molten slag W4, activated carbon in the fly ash Fa used for dioxin adsorption, and the like are effectively used.

A preheated oxygen supply unit 19g is provided. The preheated oxygen supply unit 19 g is connected to the preheated oxygen pipe 13. Further, a preheated air pipe 15 is laid in the second chamber 19b, and functions as a heat exchanging unit that uses the preheated air heated in the secondary combustion chamber 9 as a heat source.

  The state of each metal in the smelting reduction tank 19 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the melting point, boiling point and equilibrium vapor pressure of each metal. Zinc (Zn) has a boiling point of 100 ° C. or less, volatilizes in the roasting furnace 7, is captured as fly ash Fa by the bag filter 17, and is supplied to the second chamber 19 b of the smelting reduction tank 19.

  The temperature in the smelting reduction tank 19 needs to be a temperature at which at least zinc can be vaporized and supplied to the subsequent splash condenser 23 together with the exhaust gas. For that purpose, the temperature in the smelting reduction tank 19 is set to 1200 ° C. to 1300 ° C. It is preferable to maintain the temperature at about ° C. By using the molten slag W4 as a heat source, it is possible to maintain this temperature state. By setting the temperature of the smelting reduction tank 19 to 1200 ° C. to 1300 ° C., the zinc in the fly ash Fa supplied to the smelting reduction tank 19 is smelted and reduced to be vaporized and introduced into the splash condenser 23 together with the exhaust gas. On the other hand, the residue in the fly ash Fa is discharged from the slag discharge part 19h together with the molten slag W4.

  The splash condenser 23 is provided adjacent to the smelting reduction tank 19. As shown in FIG. 5, the splash condenser 23 includes a storage tank 23a that stores molten zinc, and an introduction portion 23b that introduces gaseous zinc into the storage tank 23a. The introduction part 23b is connected to a zinc discharge part 19d of the smelting reduction tank 19 via a zinc transfer pipe 23c (see FIG. 4), and the zinc vaporized in the smelting reduction tank 19 passes through the zinc transfer pipe 23c and the introduction part 23b. It passes through and is supplied to the storage tank 23a.

  The splash condenser 23 includes a plurality of stirring blades 23d that stir and scatter molten zinc stored in the storage tank 23a. Gaseous zinc is efficiently condensed by coming into contact with the scattered zinc. The zinc condensed in the storage tank 23a is withdrawn from the recovery pipe 23f and recovered as crude zinc Z1. Zinc that has not been condensed in the storage tank 23a is discharged from the discharge portion 23g together with the exhaust gas.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the zinc cooling unit 24 is provided adjacent to the splash condenser 23. The zinc cooling unit 24 includes a settling tank 25 that stores makeup water (cooling water) W for cooling and washing zinc in the exhaust gas. The settling tank 25 is connected with a makeup water W introduction pipe 25a and a discharge pipe 25b. Furthermore, the zinc cooling unit 24 includes a circulation line 26 for makeup water W connected to a precipitation tank 25. The circulation line 26 includes an ejector 26 a that injects makeup water W into the precipitation tank 25, a makeup water transfer pipe 26 b that communicates the ejector 26 a and the lower part of the precipitation tank 25, and makeup water W in the precipitation tank 25. And a pump 26c that draws out and feeds the ejector 26a to the ejector 26a with a predetermined pressure. The ejector 26a is connected to the discharge part 23g of the splash condenser 23 via the duct pipe 26d.

  Gaseous zinc reaches the ejector 26a through the duct pipe 26d, is cooled in contact with the makeup water W efficiently while being stirred by the ejector 26a, and is injected into the precipitation tank 25 together with the makeup water W. . The zinc cooled by the makeup water W undergoes a phase transition from a gas to a solid, that is, solidifies and precipitates in the precipitation tank 25. A discharge port 25c for zinc Z2 is provided at the bottom of the precipitation tank 25. Since the zinc Z2 recovered by the zinc cooling unit 24 has a high purity and a small post-treatment burden, it can be reused efficiently. In particular, since chlorine is removed by the makeup water W, it can be recovered as high-quality zinc Z2.

  Next, a zinc recovery method using the zinc recovery device 5A will be described. In the roasting furnace 7 of the kiln rotary furnace 3 </ b> A, the temperature in the furnace is maintained at about 1500 ° C. or higher to roast the zinc-containing material W <b> 1, and the zinc-containing combustion exhaust gas is discharged into the secondary combustion chamber 9. In the secondary combustion chamber 9, combustible substances in the combustion exhaust gas are subjected to secondary combustion, the remaining fly ash Fa containing zinc is discharged from the secondary combustion chamber 9, and the fly ash Fa is captured by the bag filter 17.

  On the other hand, the roasting furnace 7 discharges the melt W2 containing a metal having a relatively high boiling point such as iron to the molten slag separation unit 11, and the molten slag separation unit 11 causes the molten metal W3 and the molten slag W4 to differ due to the specific gravity difference. And the molten metal W3 is withdrawn and recovered for reuse. The molten slag W4 is supplied to the smelting reduction tank 19 as a heat source for the smelting reduction tank 19.

  The zinc-containing fly ash Fa captured by the bag filter 17 is supplied to the smelting reduction tank 19. The smelting reduction tank 19 is maintained at about 1200 ° C. to 300 ° C. by the molten slag W4, and vaporizes zinc in the fly ash Fa in the smelting reduction tank 19 (vaporization step). In addition, when temperature becomes unstable only by molten slag W4, the smelting reduction tank 19 is hold | maintained at about 1200-1300 degreeC by heat exchange using the auxiliary burner 19f or preheating air. Further, the smelting reduction tank 19 is maintained in a reducing atmosphere, and zinc in the fly ash Fa is melted and reduced, and then vaporized and supplied to the splash condenser 23.

  In the splash condenser 23, the vaporized zinc is condensed and recovered as crude zinc Z1. Furthermore, the zinc that could not be condensed by the splash condenser 23 is supplied to the zinc cooling unit 24 together with the exhaust gas, cooled, and precipitated and separated in the precipitation tank 25 of the zinc cooling unit 24 to be recovered as high-purity zinc Z2. Recovery process).

  According to the above zinc recovery apparatus 5A, at least zinc is vaporized among the metals contained in the fly ash Fa discharged from the secondary combustion chamber 9 of the kiln rotary furnace 3A, and the vaporized zinc is splashed into the splash condenser 23 or the zinc cooling. Since it is recovered by the unit 24, there is little mixing of impurities, and zinc can be efficiently recovered in a state suitable for reuse. Usually, a zinc refining manufacturer or the like does not purchase a raw material unless the zinc concentration is at least 50%. Therefore, if the fly ash Fa is to be processed, it is necessary to have an outside contractor or the like process it for a fee. However, in this embodiment, since zinc Z1 and Z2 can be efficiently recovered from the fly ash Fa, it becomes possible to recover zinc having a high concentration of 80% or more, and it can be sold as a zinc raw material to a zinc refining manufacturer. There are also significant economic advantages in terms of cost.

  Furthermore, since zinc is vaporized by using the molten slag W4 discharged from the roasting furnace 7 in a high temperature state as a heat source, consumption of new fuel for obtaining the heat source is suppressed, and zinc can be recovered efficiently. It becomes possible. In particular, in the present embodiment, the melt W2 discharged from the roasting furnace 7 is separated into the molten metal W3 and the molten slag W4 by the molten slag separation unit 11, and only the molten slag W4 is supplied to the reduction melting tank. The molten metal W3 can be recovered and reused.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the splash condenser 23 is arranged on the upstream side where the vaporized zinc flows, and the zinc cooling unit 24 is arranged on the downstream side, so that the vaporized zinc is condensed and collected by the splash condenser 23, Since the remaining zinc that could not be condensed by the splash condenser 23 is solidified and recovered by the zinc cooling unit 24, the evaporated zinc can be recovered efficiently without escaping.

  Further, in the zinc cooling unit 24, gaseous zinc is cooled and solidified by makeup water (cooling water) W, and the chlorine content is washed and removed by the makeup water W. In recent years, waste plastics are often used as an alternative fuel from the viewpoint of saving fossil fuels and effectively using waste in steelmaking processes, etc., and the chlorine content in fly ash Fa recovered by the bag filter tends to increase. It is in. If the chlorine content is high, there will be a problem of chlorination at the zinc refining manufacturer, and the zinc raw material will be of low quality. In the present embodiment, by providing the zinc cooling unit 24, the chlorine content is washed and removed by the makeup water W, so that high-quality zinc Z2 can be recovered.

  Moreover, since the zinc-containing exhaust gas discharged from the splash condenser 23 is introduced into the ejector 26a, the gaseous zinc is cooled in contact with the makeup water W efficiently while being stirred by the ejector 26a. As a result, the phase transition from the gas to the solid is efficiently performed, and further, the precipitate is separated in the precipitation tank 25, so that the solid zinc Z2 having a high purity can be efficiently recovered.

  In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, there is no zinc cooling unit for solidifying and recovering the remaining zinc discharged from the splash condenser 23. Instead, the exhaust gas from the splash condenser 23 is not recovered. An exhaust gas return line 27 for returning to the next combustion chamber 9 is provided.

  Also in the zinc recovery apparatus 5B according to the present embodiment, at least zinc is vaporized and vaporized among the metals contained in the fly ash Fa discharged from the secondary combustion chamber 9 of the kiln rotary furnace 3A, as in the first embodiment.
