Abstract
In the method of granulating the melt, the melt is quenched with water to produce a mixture of granules and water. In the dehydration apparatus, the mixture is dewatered to recover the solid-load wastewater and feed it to the collection tank. The collection tank is provided with an inclined plate settler, which is always submerged in water. Solid-loaded wastewater is fed to the collection tank such that at least a portion thereof flows from the bottom to the top via a swash plate settler in the collection tank, and at the top outlet of the swash plate settler, a substantially solid water stream flows out of the collection tank.

Description
The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for granulating a furnace slag melt.
In a granulation plant for furnace slag, the molten slag exiting the slag channel of the furnace is granulated by the spray head and nozzle system and also with water. In this case, a product is formed, which is mostly made of small granules which solidify in a glassy state, called slag sand. In order to produce slag sand suitable for cement production, which is the main application of slag sand, the heat of molten slag must be removed by impact cooling. For this purpose, a relatively large amount of process water is required depending on the amount of slag. In order to dewater the slag sand and recover water in the process circuit, a mixture of water and granules generated by the spray is fed to the dewatering plant. Wastewater removed from the dewatering plant still contains a certain amount of solids. This solid content can settle in the plant components or cause wear of the plant components when further utilizing waste water. For this reason, as disclosed, for example, in the patent document LU 85508 or LU 79466, downstream of the dewatering plant, from the settling tank after the solid has settled using a settling tank or settling basin. Methods of recovering relatively pure process water are known. However, the sedimentation tanks require considerable structural volume and require a relatively complex process that requires regular removal of precipitated solids.
In contrast, patent document DE 102 16 415 proposes a method of using hydrocyclone to at least partially clean wastewater from a dewatering plant. This method allows solids to separate from the water and accelerates stationary dewatering processes, especially with dewatering silos, but from an engineering standpoint it is not only necessary to run complex hydrocyclones, but also to supply feed pumps for hydrocyclones. Requires additional energy consumption to operate. In addition, such hydrocyclones appear to be particularly sensitive to blockage due to slag sand deposits.
Another problem is due to the potential hydraulic properties of the fine granulated slag sand present in the waste water to be cleaned. Slag sand in the wet state has the property of hardening when water is actually removed to form concrete deposits. Therefore, in purifying wastewater from dewatering plants, hardening of slag sand deposits must be absolutely avoided.
Object of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to recover by simple means a water stream which is substantially free of solids and which is less susceptible to blockage due to the solidification of slag sand deposits and which can be suitably used as process water. It is to propose a method of granulating a furnace slag melt. This object is achieved according to the invention by a granulation method of a furnace slag melt according to claim 1. Similarly, an apparatus for carrying out the method is proposed.
General description of the invention
In the process of the invention, the furnace slag melt is quenched with water in a known manner to produce a mixture of granules and water. In the dehydration apparatus, the mixture is dewatered and the solids-loaded wastewater is recovered and fed to a collection tank. According to the invention, the collection tank is provided with an inclined plate settler and is always submerged in water. Solid-loaded wastewater is fed to the collection tank, at least some of which flow from bottom to top through the swash plate settler in the collection tank and as the clarified water, which can also be suitably used as process water. From the capture tank at the top outlet of the settler. This process enables the recovery of substantially solid free water streams by very simple means, in which case there is little sensitivity to blockage due to the solidification of the slag sand deposits. Inclined plate settlers, also referred to as lamellar plate settlers or separators, have been found to be substantially less susceptible to blockage due to the solidification of slag sand deposits, unless the slag sand deposits are completely dry. In the method of the invention, this is ensured by the fact that the swash plate settler is installed in the collection tank and always submerged in water. Even when the process is interrupted and the granulation plant's idle time is relatively long, the slag sand cannot harden because the swash plate settler remains submerged. Because the swash plate settler is installed in the collection tank, no additional space is required for the secondary cleaning plant. Another advantage is that the inclined plate settler is simple and reliable to operate, and because there is no moving member, no special repairs are required and virtually no maintenance costs. In the capture tank, the swash plate settler is also very easy and inexpensive to replace as needed. Another advantage of the method of the present invention is that secondary cleansing in slop plate settler is a purely static process that does not require additional energy.
The collection tank advantageously has a funnel outlet, and sediment sludge is withdrawn from this funnel outlet and fed back to the dewatering device. This maintains a constant solid concentration in the corresponding conveying circulation, and the efficiency of the process can be further improved in practice.
The inclined plate settler is advantageously suspended on a support frame in the collection tank and can be slid onto the support frame. As a result, the swash plate settler is very simply installed and removed in the collection tank.
In a preferred embodiment the inclined plate settler consists of a plurality of modules which are individually suspended on a support frame in the collection tank and placed in an operating position by sliding on the support frame. As a result, the swash plate settler can be simply installed and removed even if the volume of the structure is limited.
The dewatering device advantageously comprises a rotatable dewatering drum provided therein with a shovel. The method of the present invention can be operated continuously by the dehydrating drum. The dewatering drum is advantageously provided directly above the first region of the collecting tank, and the inclined plate settler is provided in the adjacent second region of the collecting tank, which is laterally separated from the first region. By this design, the dehydrating drum is combined with the collection tank and the swash plate settler forms a very compact unit.
However, the dewatering device may likewise comprise one or more dewatering silos or one dewatering screw, the waste water of the dewatering device being fed into the collection tank.
The apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention is in a known manner, an infusion apparatus for injecting water flow into a furnace slag melt to produce a mixture of granules and water, a dewatering apparatus for dehydrating the mixture to recover solid-load wastewater, and A collection tank into which the solid-load wastewater is supplied. According to the invention, the swash plate settler in the collection tank is always submerged in water, at least some of the solid-load wastewater fed to the collection tank flows from bottom to top through the swash plate settler in the collection tank, at the top outlet of the swash plate settler. As purified water that can be suitably used as process water, it is installed to be withdrawn from the collection tank.
