Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce equipment cost by providing a transfer device which scoops up crushed metals floating near the surface of molten zinc containing copper in a tank, into which crushed metals are fed, and crushed metals which are precipitated on the bottom of the tank to carry the metals out of the tank. CONSTITUTION:In a bath tank 1 into which crushed metals B are fed, a feed hopper 3 for the crushed metal B is provided on a cover 2 over a wall and a predetermined amount of molten zinc A which contains 3-10wt.% of copper is provided in the tank 1 and a heating device, e.g. a heater 4, for heating the zinc A in the tank 1 is provided to control the temperature thereof. The metals B floating near the surface of the molten zinc A are taken up by a bucket attached to a belt 17 of a first transfer device 11 and led to a recovering vessel 23 through a chute 25. Further, the crushed metals B, which are precipitated, fall down on a belt 18 of the lower side horizontal part 12a of a second transfer device 12 and then scooped up by a moving bucket and sent to a recovering vessel 24 through a chute 26.

As a device for solving such a defect, a device using a thermal gravity classification method (TGC method) has recently been proposed. The equipment using this thermal gravity classification method places molten lead with a large specific gravity in the lower layer in the bath and molten zinc with a smaller specific gravity in the upper layer, and the difference in specific gravity between the crushed material and these molten metals and the melting point. By utilizing the difference of No. 1, light metal and heavy metal are separated at once regardless of iron and non-ferrous, and the recovery thereof has been performed by a rotary screw arranged in the molten metal.
