8 Claims. (Cl. 23-177) This invention relates to a new and improved process for the production of gases containing sulfur dioxide. In the roasting of granular sulfidic ores, having a grain size of, for example, to 6 mm., by the turbulent layer or fluidized bed process, a part of the roasted material, in particular the fines, is carried away from the furnace with-the roaster gas current, and deposited in subsequent dust separators, while the coarser-grain fraction of the roasted material is removed directly from the turbulent layer. By providing for an overflow at different distances from the grate, it is possible to vary the height of the turbulent layer itself. A convenient method of processing is' by removing roasted material continuously from the turbulent layer as the sulfidic ore is continuously fed thereinto, so that the turbulent layer is kept at a constant level and as a result the discharge of heat with the aid of cooling devices built into the turbulent layer remains constant.
On the contrary, in the roasting of very finely grained sulfidic ores, in particular of flotation concentrates having grain sizes of less than 0.2 mm., the whole of the roasted pulverulent material is carried out of the furnace by the roaster gases when maximum throughputs and the consequent high gas speeds in the roasting chamber are worked with. By the vivid turbulence in the roasting layer, which is composed of loose-textured agglomerates in admixture with very fine material, the agglomerates are broken up and also entrained by the gas, in the form of dust, while the level of the turbulent bed is maintained by a fresh feed of agglomerates. In general the depth of the layer must be kept lower in the roasting of flotation concentrates than in the roasting of granular material and cannot be raised at will. As a result, the quantity of heat that can be withdrawn from the turbulent layer with the aid of inbuilt cooling elements and utilized will be smaller than .in the case of greater depths.
Our invention aflords a new and eficient technique to overcome the shortcomings attendant upon the roasting of fine-grained sulfidic ores, more specifically flotation concentrates, in a layer of the roasted material kept in random turbulent motion and uniformly loosened up by the oxygen-containing gases needed for the roasting which are introduced from below and by the roaster gas. This technique comprises introducing into the turbulent layer, additionally to the main supply of the oxygen-containing gases introduced uniformly from below, subordinate proportions of oxygen-containing gases at one or more separate points other than those at which the main supply is made. By this additional feed of air or air enriched with oxygen, which can be introduced into the turbulent layer, either by blowing or sucking, at some points thereof, whether from above or from below or from the side, a blast effect will result, giving rise to local overheating with a consequent more or less marked agglomeration of the particles to be roasted. By the turbulent motion, these agglomerated particles are very fast distributed over the entire turbulent layer, so that the formation of relatively large-sized conglomerates which would interfere with the turbulent motion, is prevented. in a preferred embodiment of our invention the additional feed of oxygen-containing gas into the turbulent layer is done near the point where the feed of the sulfidic ore into the layer takes place, because at this point the concentration of roastable sulfur and consequently the agglomeration eifect are at their highest.
An alternative embodiment of our invention provides for very finely-divided roasting material, in particular sulfidic flotation concentrates, to be introduced into the turbulent layer together with the additional feed of oxygen-containing gas. This common feed can be carried out with mixing burners. By this means local increases in temperature can be effected which are the prerequisite for the formation of agglomeration centres.
The favorable influence of a partial agglomeration of the roasting material on the properties of the turbulent layer can be markedly enhanced by introducing into the turbulent layer, together with the oxygen-containing gases which are additionally fed thereinto, roasted ore withdrawn from the turbulent layer and/or the coarsergrained portion of the flue cinders, i. e. the roasted ore which is entrained away from the turbulent layer with the roaster gases and/ or roasted ore of similar grain size from other roasting systems.
In order to avoid any appreciable heat losses during the introduction of said cinders into the turbulent layer, the cinders should be introduced as far as possible at the temperatures which they have when leaving the turbulent layer and/or the dust separators and/ or the other roast- 'ing systems from which they are Withdrawn.
The cinders can also be fed into the turbulent layer after having been thoroughly mixed with very fine-grained roasting material. For the feed of the cinders in the form of a mixture with very fine-grained roasting material, it is desirable that the mixing should be done with the cinders being in a hot state, as this will effect a predrying of the roasting material, which is usually moist, and result in a shaping of the fine-grained material to coarser grains by the formation of crusts on the surface of the particles of the roasted ore before this is fed into the turbulent layer.
The mixture of the cinders and the very fine-grained roasting material can also be supplied to the turbulent layer suspended in the oxygen-containing gases additionally introduced.
In the practice of our invention the quantity of cinders which is fed, returned or recycled into the turbulent layer with the oxygen-containing gases additionally supplied, should amount to about 20 to 40% of the cinders being formed in the turbulent layer by the roasting of the ore.
For the separation of the coarser-grained constituents of the flue cinders entrained with the roaster gases simple impact separators, for example, can be used. The flue passes of the waste heat boilers arranged behind the furnace can, when suitably constructed, serve as separators of this type.
By the coarsening of the grains in the turbulent layer as a result of our invention, the height of the turbulent layer fed with most finely grained sulfidic ores can be increased and kept constant. This makes the roasting operation safer or makes it possible at all, as the circumstances may be. Moreover, when the turbulent layer is of suflicient height and maintained constant, more heat can be withdrawn therefrom by cooling elements built into the layer.. As the height of the turbulent layer can be varied in accordance with the service conditions, a greater elasticity of the furnace production is obtained. With higher throughputs through the furnace, the height of the layer is kept greater and, while having the cooling surface unchanged, more heat can be withdrawn from the layer than with smaller throughpu-ts and correspondingly lower layers. A further advantage of the process accordingto our invention lies in the fact that the cinders obtained have a higher percentage of coarser particles and that the dust production in the :dust separators has now fallen-appreciably below the dust productionknow n to-zoccur in the prior art. practice. 3 the increasein the coarse-gra .ed component the roasted ore has become more handy for transport and further processing. a
The following examples will further illustrate this invention but the invention is not restricted to-these .ex-
amples. a
Example .1
When roastingflotationconcentrates .of pyritesaceording to theturbulent;layemoasting process, aniadditio'nal 10% .quantity'of the air used forroastingfand introduced into the turbulent layer chiefly from below throughqagrate at a uniform rate, is blown into the turbulentlayer laterally from beneath the point at which the flO'LQLlQIJ PYI'ilQS enter the furnace. The layer height of the turbulent mass, which was about cm. in its quiescent state; is thereby increased to about 50 cm. By the introduction of the additional air,,the fraction of particles in the turbulent layer having a grain size of lessthan 1 mm falls-from about smas es 7 e n A exch n t gh h exch nge ubes .Tprovidedin th v bed, and containing water and/or steam. Fresh sulfidic ore is introduced to the layer 4'adjacent the upper surface of the layer from a regulatable feeding device 10. Roasted ore or cinder is withdrawn at the opposite side of the layer through a conduit 11 adjacent -thempper surface of the grate 5, at the base of the layer.
A locally increased concentration of oxygen is provided adjacent the point of entry of the fresh ore bya oriduit 3 from the air supply leading to that;zone.- By-t ls'iaddiintroducti n of oxygen, local overheating ndconsequent partial agglomeration of ore particles L'results, increasing the average particle size in the 'fluidized'layer 4.

Example-2 a V continuously fed into a turbulent layer'of ,alrnostacompletely desulfurized cinders of flotation pyriteswhich layer is arranged above a grate. The hourlyinput pertsquare metre of grate surface is 850 kilograms. To maintainthe turbulent motion in the layer 1800 cubic metres of air per square metre of the grate surface are blown in per hour at a uniform rate over the whole cross-section of the grate. At the same time 180 more cubic metres of air per square metre of grate surface are blown into the turbulent a layer per hour from two separate places in the immediate vinicity of the point where the pyrites are introduced;
This supply of oxygen has the effect that localsintering ranged'immediately behind the furnace and in which Cinders with a'grain size mainlyof 0.5 to Lmillimetre The temperature of the cindcrs so re are precipitated. turned is 550 C.
