Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To retard the reduction of dross or efficiently recover a lead alloy from the dross by letting carbon and PbOx powder exist on the surface of molten metal. SOLUTION: 2-5wt.% carbon powder and 2-5wt.% Pb3 O4 powder, for example, based on the weight of a lead alloy are added to the surface of molten metal in a melting pot of a lead alloy device, then stirred. When only the carbon is added and only the Pb3 O4 is added at a melting temperature of 700 deg.C, for example, dross decreasing effect is small. By adding both of the carbon powder and Pb3 O4 at the same time in the range of 2-5wt.%, for example, the reduction of the dross is retarded, or the lead alloy is efficiently recovered from the dross.

According to the above-mentioned conventional method, unless the oxide called dross formed on the surface of the molten metal is regularly removed, the thermal efficiency of the melting pot is lowered and the molten metal is not converted into molten metal. The phenomenon that the quality of the molten metal deteriorates due to the inclusion of impurities was observed. In addition, when the amount of dross generated on the surface of the molten metal increases, the frequency of dross removal must be increased, resulting in a decrease in workability. Further, the produced dross contains a large amount of lead alloy together with impurities, which causes loss during melting of the alloy.

[Function] Due to the difference in alloy density on the surface of molten metal,
A lead oxide layer containing a large amount of impurities and calcium is formed, and a lead-calcium-tin alloy is melted in the lower part.
The lead oxide generated on the surface is reduced to lead by carbon, and at this time, the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and is exhausted as a gas. On the other hand, lead oxide PbO on the surface of molten metal

Since it is as large as m 2 / g, it is highly reactive, and the lead alloy in the dross can be further recovered by the exchange reaction with the oxide in the dross. Therefore, the dross formed from lead oxide can be made extremely small, the loss due to melting can be reduced, and the amount of lead alloy recovered from waste battery electrode plate scrap can be maximized. Occurrence can be minimized.

Further, there is a significant difference in the effect when the powder particles of lead oxide Pb 3 O 4 are large and small. Lead oxide Pb 3 O 4 has a small specific surface area and loses its addition effect when it becomes granular, and a specific surface area of 0.5 m 2 / g or more is required. On the other hand, it was confirmed that if the particles were too fine, they were often floated from the surface due to air convection due to heat during melting, and the effect of addition was lost. That is,
The specific surface area of lead oxide Pb 3 O 4 is 0.5 to 2.5 m 2 / g
At that time, the effect of reducing dross became greater.
