Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for producing ball-shaped nodules formed by the agglomeration of finely divided solids.
  • Agglomeration of fine-grained solids such as ores and minerals is effected by supplying thereto a moistening liquid and mixing the same intimately into the material either in mixing screws, drums or inclined cups. In the mixing screws a more lumpy material is obtained, whereas in drums and cups approximately ball-shaped nodules are formed due to rotation.
  • the size of the balls may be varied according to the requirements imposed by the subsequent treatment, such as burning, roasting or reduction 1n various processes.
  • the ball formation is effected by rolling fresh material onto a moistened surface.
  • these balls are heated in subsequent processes, the liquid will evaporate and the balls will easily fall apart.
  • binding agents in order that these may increase the strength it may be necessary to add them in such amounts that the chemical composition of the material is substantially altered. This is the case for example when lime is used. If starches, glues or the like are used, the effect of these agents will disappear together with the moistening liquid, and the porosity of the balls may even be increased by the evaporation of the binder. This drawback becomes particularly marked in the case of balls of relatively small size, such as is desired for socalled micropellets to be burned on draft sintering grates.
  • the present invention has for an object to agglomerate fine-grained material into ball-like nodules of a desired strength in a continuous process based on these known facts and primarily consists in compressing the material while it is in a moist condition into a packed consistency, thencrumb ling the same and thereafter rolling it into ball-like nodules.
  • a compacting of the mass is obtained at the first stage, whereby the subsequent rolling into balls is facilitated.
  • the rolling takes place either in a snowballlike manner from a small particle size, which requires a high water content which, in turn, makes it diflicult to obtain a high strength, or on recycled cores which reduces the output
  • the rolling is started with crumbs of a pre-compacted material, and the ball formation may then take place with a relatively small moisture content, and during rolling, after a more or less ball-like shape has been obtained, the balls may be provided with a coating which contributes in making them resist drying and heating without falling apart.
  • the object of the apparatus is primarily to form balls with the least possible moisture and having the greatest possible strength. With this object in view the following procedure is adopted:
  • the form of apparatus used constitutes a development of the inclined cylinder bottom, the so-called Granulierteller, either all or part of the material being supplied thereto with an addition of moistening liquid and further addition or additions, if any, being effected in finely divided form.
  • Granulierteller either all or part of the material being supplied thereto with an addition of moistening liquid and further addition or additions, if any, being effected in finely divided form.
  • the material is pressed into packed condition by the action of centrifugal force or by rolls or by both in combination. Thereafter, it
  • a first step is therefore to divide the bottom of the cup into two or more separate cups capable of being rotated with mutually different angular velocities and, if desired, also with opposite directions of rotation.
  • the individual cups are equipped with adjustable driving means and mounted on a common. frame, which is pivoted for adjustment of the inclination of the axis, usualy between 30 and 60 degrees.
  • scraping and guiding members which preferably are adjustable, may be provided in convenient places in the ball-rolling zone or zones for scraping material from the cups, or for guiding the balls during rolling and during transfer from one zone to the next.
  • the bottoms of the various cups may be of different shape and be placed at different levels.
  • the bottom may be plane or conical, and the bottoms of the cups may be placed in one plane or one above or one below the others in staggered relation.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are diagrammatic sectional views illustrating different examples of possible arrangements of the various treating zones relative to each other.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view, partly in section, of an embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view along the line lV-'IV in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows the apparatus of FIG. 3 as viewed in axial direction from the top and with parts broken away for clearness of illustration.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are detail views on a larger scale along the lines VIVI and VI I-Vil respectively in FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates how a series of treating zones in accordance with the invention can be formed by annular cups 1, 2 and 3, arranged stepwise one below the other with successively decreasing diameters and with central discharge 4.
  • Each annular cup is angular in cross section so as to form a bottom and a peripheral flange, and the bottom of one cup projects inside the periphery of the next one, so that during rotation of the cup material may be discharged from one cup to the other, preferably in the proximity of the uppermost position by the action of gravity and/ or by means of suitable guiding members.
  • FIG. 2 a series of annular cups 5', 6 7 are shown to be arranged stepwise above each other, counting radially inwards, and likewise with a central discharge 8'. Also in this case the cups overlap each other radially and the material is assumed to'be delivered in a direction radially inwards from one cup to the next, which in this case, of course, requires guiding members for the transfer.
  • the cups are presumed to rotate with suitable velocities, adapted for the treating processes desired in the various zones, such as compression, supply of material for ball format-ion, supply of binder and supply of' fuel. In any case it may be desiredtto extend the system further by adding further cups as indicated in dash-and-dot lines at 9' and 10 respectively. Further, it is contemplated that, instead of removing the material through a central orifice in the innermostcup, to remove it through an inclined chute on top of the cups as indicated in dash-and-dot lines at 1 1 and 12 respectively in FIGS. 1- and 2.
  • FIGS. 3 to 7 constitute a more complete showing of an embodiment of an apparatus constructed according to the principle illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • a supporting structure 16 On a shaft 15, supported by a base 13 rigidly mounted on a fioor 14, a supporting structure 16 is pivoted, which is arranged as a two-armed lever and the inclination of which can be fixed and adjusted by means of an adjusting screw 17, which is provided with a hand-wheel 18 and pivoted on the base at 19, and which is engaged by a nut 2t ⁇ pivoted on the pivoted frame 16.
  • an adjusting screw 17 which is provided with a hand-wheel 18 and pivoted on the base at 19, and which is engaged by a nut 2t ⁇ pivoted on the pivoted frame 16.
  • three supporting rings 24, 2 5 and 26 of angular cross section are mounted rotatably by means of axially and radially acting rollers 27 and 28, 29 and 30, and 31 and 32, respectively, distributed circumferentially within the cup in rows, each comprising three rollers and arranged stepwise one above the other.
  • Rigidly attached to the rings 24, 25 and 26 by suitable connecting means are annular cups 33, 34 and 35 respectively, which extend stepwise one above and outside the other and above the supporting cup 21.
  • the cup 21 carries a spider or similar supporting structure 37, which extends on top of the cups 33, 34 and 35 and carries various means which will be described later, for supply and treatment of the material.
  • driving belts 38, 39 and 40 are used, which extend in some cases above, and in some cases through openings in the supporting cup 21 and connect the mounting rings to suitable driving means mounted on the frame 16 which driving means counter-balance the cup 21 and the elements carried by the latter.
  • FIG. 4 shows two driving motors 41 and 42, which through suitable gearings drive the rings 24 and 26 and the ring 25, respectively. This causes the cups 33 and 35 to rotate in the same direction and the cup 34 in the opposite direction.
  • the rotational speeds of the individual cups are separately adjustable by means of variators, oil gears, electric control means or the like, so that the speed of the cups and hence the effect of centrifugal force may be adapted according to the course of the treatment desired in the individual zones, while the effect of gravity on the movement of the material may at the same time be controlled by adjusting the inclination of the cups by means of the hand-wheel 18.
  • the spider or supporting structure 37 on top of the apparatus carries various treating means, which as illustrated in FIG. 5 may comprise movably supported weight- -loaded radially and axially acting pressure rolls 43 and 44, respectively, in the outermost zone, a transfer channel 45 between the outermost and the intermediate zone, movable guiding members 46, 46 and 47, 47 in the intermediate and the innermost zone, respectively, and fixed and/or movable scrapers 48 and 49 respectively.
  • the spider may, if desired, carry a discharge chute 11 (indicated in dash-and-dot lines in FIGURE 5) as mentioned above in. connection with FIG. 1, if it is desired to remove the material on top of the apparatus instead of providing the innermost cup 33 with a. central orifice 50 for discharging material through pipe 22, as
  • One or more of the cups of the apparatus may con-- veniently be provided with.
  • U- or V-shaped. grooves as shown specifically at 51 for the bottom and peripheral wall of the outermost cup 35in FIGS. 6 and 7, in which the grooves extend in a circumferential direction and contribute to theformation of the material into balls,
  • rolls 43 and 44 may be provided.
  • the-outermost cup apparatus is assumed. to rotate counter-clockwise as viewed in FIG. 5, and material is supplied through a feed pipe. 52 over the lower portion of the cup.
  • the material may be supplied either in a finely divided dry condition or wholly or partly moistened by finely divided moistening liquid.
  • a basic moistening liquid comprising a surface-active substance with the addition of a base and, if desi'red,.
  • moistening liquid is supplied through a pipe 53 with a spraying nozzle over the cup 35 immediately after the supply of material thereto.
  • moistening liquid is supplied through a pipe 53 with a spraying nozzle over the cup 35 immediately after the supply of material thereto.
  • the material is suited, in a-preliminary step preceding the rolling into balls, to be compressed into a more dense consistency, which takes place in the outer zone formed by the cup 35, partly due to the centrifugal force which urges the material outwardly, and partly due to the action of the rolls 43 and 44, which press the material against the circumferential wall and the bottom of the cup, respectively, whereby a layer of material of a desired substantially even thickness is immediately obtained.
  • the channel 45 When the material reaches the channel 45, it is scraped from the cup 35, the channel being conveniently formed with teeth 54 at the front edge corresponding to the grooves 51 of the cup.
  • the channel 45 has such a shape that consequent to the pushing on the material from behind it conveys the latter inwardly into the cup 34, which is located inwardly of the first cup and in which the material arrives in crumbled form as gritor flake-formed crumbs due to the scraping action of the channel referred to above.
  • the channel 45 is formed with a grate 55 in its bottom, whereby material under a certain size will fall therethrough and continue on in the outer cup 35 so as to be subjected to renewed compression together with fresh material.
  • the channel 45 is conveniently mounted for circumferential adjustment on a correspondingly curved supporting arm 56 or the like.
  • the channel 45 preferably conveys the material in a downward direction onto the upwardly moving side of the cup 34, which in the present case is assumed to rotate clockwise.
  • the lumps or crumbs of material which at the beginning are of irregular shape, will thereby have a rolling motion imparted to them, which, besides, may partly be started already in the downwardly sloping portion of the channel, and will successively adopt a more and more globular shape.
  • due to the effect of centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the cup 3d they are passed outwardly towards the circumferential wall of the latter and are entrained to the upper portion of the cup, where a greater or smaller part thereof be come entrapped between the guiding members 46 subject to the adjustment of the latter.
  • the centrifugal force does not cause a packing of material to an undesirable extent at the periphery of the cup, and for this reason, with the relative dimensions shown, it is preferable as a rule to keep the rotational speed of the cup 34 lower than that of the cup 35.
  • a centrifugal force equal to 1.2 times the weight in the packing zone, but only a centrifugal force of about 0.7 times the weight in the ball-rolling zone.
  • the ball-shaped particles of desired size which roll down between the guiding vanes 46, will fall from the cup 34 onto the cup 33, on which the ball-rolling is con tinued, a further layer being supplied through a feed conduit 59.
  • This may be a binder, a drying agent or fuel, if desired, in combination with additional moistening liquid.
  • the rotational speed is selected dependent on the desired rolling effect or particle size, so that coated balls of a suitable size are obtained which will roll down between the guiding vanes 47, Whereas finer or uncoated material will continue in rotation for further ball-rolling.
  • fixed or movable scrapers may be provided, if desired, and these as well as the scrapers 48 and 49 mentioned above may also be formed with teeth.
  • the circumferential wall of one zone may be formed as a flange projecting downwards from the bottom located over it, instead of as a flange projecting upwards from the appurtenant bottom, and in the case of an excentric rotation of the circumferential wall with respect to the axis of rotation of the lower bottom it will hereby also be possible to achieve a more or less pronounced scraping action at the periphery. Further, it may be contemplated to make one or more cups with a conical step-shaped or curved bottom instead of.
  • the fixed or adjustable scrapers and vanes shown which serve to keep the cup bottoms clean or to guide the material respectively, may according to prevailing conditions be placed otherwise than shown, for example it is possible to place scrapers or vanes in the upper or the upwardly moving portion of the ball-rolling zone in order to guide the material into areas with less centrifugal effect and hence greater possibilities of free ball-rolling or of rolling towards the outlet.
  • the scrapers may, if desired, be replaced wholly or in part by worms or other moving members.
