Definitions
- the present invention involves the recovery of metal values from metallurgical waste materials, particularly those wastes formed in iron and steel making processes.
- waste materials are formed that contain
- a waste material of common concern is dust from electric arc furnaces, commonly referred to as EAF dust.
- Electric arc furnaces typically melt scrap metal through the use of high voltage electrical current.
- the scrap metal may come from a variety of sources, including; discarded railroad rails, cut sheet steel, discarded structural steel, and scrap automobiles.
- the scrap metal is added to the electric arc furnaces without separating non- ferrous metals, such as lead, zinc, and cadmium.
- these non-ferrous metals are vaporized from the scrap, condensed into a dust from the waste gas stream and are deposited in a bag house.
- the waste gas stream deposits a large amount of recoverable iron in the bag house. Accordingly, the iron and heavy metal, usually in an oxidized form, are combined in an amorphous EAF dust
- fuming The most common approach is called fuming.
- This process utilizes the differing boiling points of the heavy metals to obtain their separation.
- the dust is heated to temperatures above the boiling points of the metals being separated, causing the metals to evaporate.
- the evaporated metals are removed as a dust from the gas and condensed in a collection device for further processing.
- the boiling points of these trace metals are considerably lower than that of iron, which is the largest single component of the dust.
- the remaining dust consists primarily of iron in the form of iron oxide. Being in a dust form, this material cannot be successfully processed into iron and is left as a waste.
- Another problem with fuming is that it is energy intensive, and it also produces a significant amount of its own waste dust.
- EAF dust is electrowinning. This process combines a leaching and precipitation operation with electrolytic deposition.
- the EAF dust is first dissolved in an electrolyte to solubilize the lead, zinc, and cadmium.
- the solution is filtered and then precipitated with a zinc powder to capture the lead and cadmium.
- the resulting zinc solution is then passed through an electrochemical recovery cell to recover the zinc.
- This process recovers zinc quite well, but the leaching process does not dissolve the iron oxides and zinc ferrite, which remain as waste materials that must be dried.
- the dried material once again, is in the form of a fine dust with little or no value.
- EAF dust has also been processed by blending with silicate materials, such as silica sand, clay, or cullet, and heated in a furnace to form a vitrified ceramic product.
- silicate materials such as silica sand, clay, or cullet
- the ceramic is useful as an abrasive, and the EAF dust is rendered nonhazardous, but the valuable metals contained in the dust are not recovered.
- These metals have been processed through an expensive refining technique just to be converted into a relatively low value material in order to render them nonhazardous.
- an object of the invention to provide a method for the treatment of dusts containing iron and heavy metals that recovers both the iron and the heavy metals as a usable product.
- a method for forming a solid product in the form of briquettes, pellets, and/or as other solid objects, is provided.
- the resulting product comprises an iron-rich material, e.g. EAF dust, and a carbon source, e.g., coke breeze, coal fines, and/or revert materials, bound together into solid shapes, such as briquettes, to substantially prevent degradation into dust and smaller pieces.
- the briquettes provide a source of iron in steel and iron-making processes and carbon for reduction of the iron.
- This fuming method is unique in that the feed material is first formed into a stable solid through the use of briquetting or extruding a convenient shape or a like technique, utilizing the reaction product of paniculate carbon and an organic binder.
- the binder reaction product maintains the formed dust materials until the zinc, lead, and cadmium have evaporated, and the iron oxides have been reduced to elemental iron.
- This method allows all the materials contained in the EAF dust to be reclaimed in one process.
- the fuel for this process can be either waste coke breeze, waste coal fines, electric arc, or natural gas, depending on which provides cost advantage.
- the present process is for recovering iron and heavy metals from powdered iron-rich materials.
- These powders from which it has been previously not possible to recover the iron values, can now be manufactured into shapes that can be utilized in iron and steel manufacture. Not only is the iron recovered, but also any heavy metals are also recovered.
- Prior attempts to place carbon-containing materials, such as coke breeze, coal fines, and/or revert materials in a solid form, such as briquettes, has been largely unsuccessful because the product does not adequately bind and is unstable, disintegrating or retrogressively degrading back into small, fine particles during storage and handling prior to use.
- the present invention allows a carbon and iron containing material to be formed into a solid shape that is strong and durable enough for handling and storage, as well as sufficient to bind the shapes in an iron-reduction process to inhibit early disintegration of the shape such that they are carried into the waste gasses as dust.
- An embodiment of the invention is a process for manufacturing shapes from fine iron- rich material, the process may comprise;
- step (d) emulsifying polyvinyl homopolymer in water, adding the emulsion to the combination of step (c) and substantially homogenizing the resultant;
- fine iron-rich materials any powdered or small particle or paniculate material containing iron, iron oxides and/or other iron compounds.
- the powdered material may also contain other metals, including heavy metals, in any form such as in metal oxides, as well as other minerals, particularly those found in ores, waste materials from mineral extraction, and the like.
- a suitable iron-rich material is electric arc furnace dust (EAF dust) that is deposited from waste gas streams coming from electric arc furnaces used in iron and steel production.
- EAF dust electric arc furnace dust
- Other suitable iron-rich materials include other by-products from steel production, such as mill scale, precipitated iron oxide, and dust (so-called sludge), typically collected in the filter
- the iron-rich material is normally essentially free of moisture, i.e., with a moisture level at or below 2 wt. , and is essentially free of non-mineral substances, such as oils.
- the powdered material is first mixed with a carbon source.
- a carbon source such as hydrochloric acid.
- the carbon source may be any suitable source, such as a
- the carbon source should be fine enough and in a form that allows formation of the solid shapes, as discussed further below. In addition, it should not contain impurities that would interfere materially with formation of the shape or with the subsequent iron-reduction process in which the shape is used.
- the carbon source is typically a fine powdered material.
- the powdered material and the carbon source are mixed to form a mixture of about 15 to 35 wt. % , preferably about 25 wt. % of the carbon source.
- the mixture is then reacted with hydrochloric acid.
- the mixture is preferably reacted with hydrochloric acid, in an amount between about 1 and A wt. %, preferably about 2 wt. % acid.
- the iron-rich/carbon mixture is then compounded into a mixture with binders for forming into one or more shapes.
- the reacted mixture is mixed with calcium carbonate, an alumino-silicate binder, an organic binder, and a polyvinyl alcohol. That may be accomplished by mixing the reacted mixture with calcium carbonate and an alumino-silicate material.
- the calcium carbonate acts as a hardener and also as a flux for removal of impurities during the reduction to iron phase.
- the alumino- silicate also functions as a hardener for the shapes, and also as a flux.
- the alumino-silicate material may be any of such materials used in forming shapes, such as kaolin clay materials, kaolinite, mixtures of alumina and silica, dolomite lime type clays, and the like.
- An organic binder is mixed into the mixture with the calcium carbonate and alumino- silicate.
- the binder is the binder described in United States Patent Application No. 08/184,099, filed January 21, 1994, which disclosure is hereby incorporated by reference.
- This binder is made by dissolving styrene or acrylonitrile polymer resin in a hygroscopic solvent, such as methyl-ethyl-ketone.
- An emulsion made by emulsifying a polyvinyl polymer in water is added to the mixture with the styrene polymer binder.
- the resultant is then substantially homogenized.
- the polyvinyl polymer may be polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl acetate.
- the homogenized mixture with the polyvinyl acetate or polyvinyl alcohol is then formed into solid shapes by any suitable method, such as extrusion, molding, and/or compression.
- the extrusion or molding pressures are high, between about 15,000 and 45,000 psi, preferably about 30,000 psi, to produce dense, and fracture and abrasion resistant product.
- Figure 1 is a flow sheet illustrating an embodiment of the invention.
- IRM powdered iron-rich material
- the IRM is first cleaned using a surfactant to create an emollient containing the oils and other contaminants found in the IRM.
- the IRM is dried in a rotary kiln to vaporize the emollient and reduce the total moismre content, preferably to below about 2 wt. %, although up to 6 wt. % may be used, depending upon the composition being processed.
- the cleaned IRM is then weighted into a mixer along with approximately 25 wt. % metallurgical grade coke and reacted with hydrochloric acid at about 2 wt. %.
- the IRM, coke and hydrochloric acid is then mixed for about 5 minutes.
- an organic binder material is added to the batch mixer and allowed to mix for approximately 5 minutes.
- the binder is a styrene polymer resin (10 wt. %) dissolved in a hygroscopic solvent, such as methyl-ethyl-ketone. As this binder contains a hygroscopic solvent, any water generated in the earlier reactions is driven off with the solvent.
- the formed briquettes or other solid shapes are then heated to about 250°F to 400°F to cure.
- the curing process reduces the moisture content of the briquette to less than about 2 wt. % .
- the briquettes are introduced into an electric arc furnace where reduction of the oxides takes place. Reduction of iron oxides can take place with minimal power penalty due to the fact that the briquette continues to be held together under the slag layer by the binder until such time as the reduction reaction takes place between the coke and oxidized iron.
- the other materials added to the briquette or other solid shape act as fluxes carrying impurities into the slag layer above the liquid metal bath.
- an acrylonitrile polymer may be used instead of the styrene polymer.
- a suitable homopolymer material is 32-024 homopolymer PVA emulsion, available from National Starch and Adhesive.
- the acrylonitrile polymer is preferably retained in a prolonged fluid state by methyl-ethyl-ketone.
- Acrylonitrile polymer is available from Polymerland. Technical grade methyl-ethyl-ketone, available from Dice Chemical Co. and Thatcher Chemical Co., is satisfactory.
- Ninety percent (90%) by weight methyl-ethyl-ketone and ten percent (10%) by weight acrylonitrile polymer is suitable, although these amounts can be varied. Examples II to V
- the cleaned IRM is then weighted into a mixer along with the paniculate carbon source reacted with hydrochloric acid at about 2 wt. % .
- the IRM, paniculate carbon source and hydrochloric acid are then mixed for about 5 minutes.
- an organic binder material is added to the batch mixer and allowed to mix for approximately 5 minutes.
- the binder was an acrylonitrile polymer and was retained in a prolonged fluid state by methyl-ethyl-ketone as described above.
- the formed briquettes or other solid shapes are then heated to about 250°F to 400°F to cure.
- the curing process reduces the moismre content of the briquette to less than about 2 wt. % .
- samples of the briquettes or other solid shapes were introduced into an electric arc furnace where reduction of the oxides takes place. Analyses of the starting materials, and the iron and slag products resulting from the reduction were made The results of the tests are summarized below.
- the paniculate carbon was coke breeze (10400 BTU)
- the IRM was a mixmre of mill scale from a steel mill (Nucor, Plymoth, Utah), and an iron oxide precipitate from a oxygen furnace (Gulf States, Gadston, Alabama).
- the analysis of the starting materials, the briquette produced, and the reduction products (in wt. %) are shown below in Table A.
- Table A Of the mass of the briquette introduced into the reduction process, approximately 88% went into the iron product, and 21 % into the slag (These numbers do not add exactly to 100% because of inaccuracies in measurement and round-off errors.)
- the paniculate carbon was coke breeze (10400 BTU), and the IRM was a mixmre of mill scale from a steel mill, and sludge from the filters from a basic oxygen furnace (Q-BOP) (both at Geneva, Utah).
- the analysis of the starting materials, the briquette produced, and the analyses of the reduction products of five reduction tests of the briquettes (in wt. %), are shown below in Tables B-l and B-2. For tests 1 to 3 the results are for the slag accumulated over all three tests. The percent of the mass from the briquettes introduced into the reduction process that resulted in the iron product and the slag are shown in Table C. (These numbers do not add exactly to 100% because of inaccuracies in measurement and
- the paniculate carbon was coke breeze (10400 BTU)
- the IRM was a mixmre of iron ore from the Geneva mine near Cedar City, Utah, and sludge from the
- the particulate carbon was coke breeze (10400 BTU), and the IRM was ferric oxide dust derived as a byproduct form photographic film production.
- the present invention polymerizes the carbon particles contained in the carbon source into a new long chain polymer compound, yet unidentified, which provides strucmrally superior strength of the shapes. It is known that oxides of carbon will hydrolyze in water. This reaction leaves free carboxyl ions present in the compound.
- polyvinyl acetate is introduced. Again the presence of the methyl- ethyl-ketone acts as a catalyst to remove and allow the acrylonitrile or styrene to react to the
- the resulting compressed shapes such as briquettes, pellets, and/or extruded solid pieces are strucmrally stable and do not retrogress into fine particles during storage and handling.
