Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for processing iron and oil-containing metallurgical residues, in particular mill scale, and for recycling the iron and oil-containing metallurgical residues in a melting and / or reduction unit, and a plant for carrying out the method.
- a method of this type is known for example from DE-A-4 101 584. After adding molasses and calcium hydroxide, mill scale is briquetted as a binder and reused in the steelmaking process. This process is complex and expensive.
- a method for recycling oil-containing mill scale which is similar to the method described in DE-A-4 101 584 and also has its disadvantages, is also known from US-A-4,585,475.
- oil-containing mill scale is mixed with a binder, such as a mixture of molasses and calcium hydroxide or a mixture of sodium silicate and Portland cement, the mixture is agglomerated and the agglomerates formed are used in a molten steel bath. If necessary, iron oxide fine particles are also mixed into the mill scale.
- a disadvantage of these known processes is that in addition to lime, in the form of limestone or calcium hydroxide, another binder must be added in any case in order to apply the appropriate binding forces for agglomeration.
- the object of the invention while avoiding a thermal oil removal route, is to improve and further develop these known processes in such a way that complete and nevertheless very economical processing of the iron and oil-containing metallurgical residues and recycling in a melting and or reducing unit by admixing only one single binder is made possible.
- the method according to the invention should be able to be implemented with only low investment costs.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that the iron and oil-containing huttentechnikreststoffe, if necessary after admixing other oil-containing fractions, such as waste oil, are mixed with quick lime, preferably hard quick lime, and in that the ⁇ eselfbare fraction formed, optionally after an intermediate treatment, in the melting and / or reducing unit is introduced
- a method for binding oils present in water (motor oils or other waste oils) or liquid chemical waste materials for the purpose of rendering them harmless with quicklime is known, for example, from AT-B-335 375. It is essential in this method that the quicklime becomes hydrophobic, which means that the 01 or the Liquid chemical waste can be finely dispersed in the pre-treated lime and placed in a landfill
- a process for the disposal of mineral oil-containing wastes and sludges, whereby a water-repellent reaction product which can be used as a substructure material is formed, is known from AT-B-367 088.

- the iesilable fraction formed from the iron and oil-containing waste materials and from quicklime is blown into the melting and / or reducing unit, preferably after comminution, preferably with a particle size of ⁇ 5 mm
- the ⁇ eselfahiges fraction formed from the iron and oil-containing Huttenwerkreststoffe and from quicklime is first sieved, whereby a coarse and fine fraction of the free-flowing fraction is obtained
- the fine fraction in particular with a grain size ⁇ 5 mm, is preferably blown into the melting and / or reducing unit
- the fine fraction in particular with a grain size of ⁇ 5 mm, is initially mixed with other hut material residues, in particular dust from dry filter systems and / or sludges from wet washers, and the mixture formed in this way is then agglomerated.

- a plant for carrying out the method according to the invention is characterized in that a first mixer for mixing iron and oil-containing waste materials and possibly other oil-containing fractions, such as waste oil, is provided with quicklime and that the first mixer with a melting and / or Reduction unit is connected
- a comminution device in particular a grinding device, is provided next to the first mixer for comminuting the free-flowing fraction
- the comminution device is advantageously connected to blowing devices, in particular blowing lances, for blowing the comminuted free-flowing fraction into the melting and / or reducing unit.
- a further mixer is expediently provided next to the comminution device, into which a feed line for other residues of hut works, in particular for dust from dry filter systems and / or for sludges from wet washers, is merged, and an agglomeration device for agglomerating the mixture formed in the second mixer is then connected to the second mixer and then, if necessary, a drying device thereafter
- a sieving device for sieving the free-flowing fraction is provided next to the first mixer, from which a discharge for a fine fraction and a discharge for a coarse fraction originate.
- the discharge line for the fine fraction is preferably connected to blowing devices, preferably blowing lances, for blowing the fine fraction into the melting and / or reducing unit
- the discharge for the fine fraction merges into a further mixer, in which there is also a feed line for other hut waste, in particular for dust from dry filter systems and / or for sludge from wet washers, , and after the second mixer, an agglomerating device for agglomerating the mixture formed in the second mixer and, if appropriate, a drying device thereafter are provided
- the discharge for the coarse fraction expediently merges into the melting and / or reducing unit
- a feed line for other waste materials flows into the first mixer, and is an agglomeration device for agglomerating that in the first mixer after the first mixer formed mixture and then optionally provided a drying device
- iron and oil-containing waste mill residues 1, such as mill scale, optionally together with other oil-containing fractions, such as waste oil, are mixed with quicklime 3 in a first mixer 2, for example a ploughshare mixer, with the required amount M (% by weight) Quicklime 3 depends on the residual moisture of the material to be processed and its oil content, further on the reaction temperature and residence time in the mixer 2, on the type of oil and on the reactivity of quicklime 3
- the quicklime 3 serves on the one hand as a dispersion carrier for 01, which is in a finely dispersed state Phase is transferred, and on the other hand as a binder for the production of thermal shock-resistant agglomerates in the event of agglomeration, as well as for reducing the moisture content
- the required amount M of quicklime 3 is preferably calculated according to the following formula
- A (A x F + B x G) + C
- A is a factor dependent on the reaction temperature and the residence time during mixing for the required amount of quicklime 3
- A is preferably from a range from 1.0 to 3.0, particularly preferably from a range from 1.5 to 2 , 5, selected.
- F is the residual moisture of the material to be processed in% by weight.
- B is a factor dependent on the properties of the quicklime 3, the type of oil and the residual moisture of the material to be processed and is preferably selected from a range from 0.1 to 0.5.
- G is the oil content in% by weight. If quicklime 3 is very fine and easily dispersible for oils (i.e. easily wettable), little quicklime 3 is required and the factor B is small. In general, the factor B is chosen larger for a higher oil content, but smaller for a higher residual moisture
- C is dependent on the reactivity of the quicklime 3 and the residual moisture of the material to be processed and is preferably selected from a range from 0 to 5. If the quicklime 3 exhibits poor dispergi behavior or reacts, a higher factor C is selected. A high factor C is also required if the material to be processed is very dry. Without the additional addition of quicklime 3, there is too little binder for subsequent agglomeration to achieve sufficient mechanical strength
- a mill scale fraction has a moisture content of 10% by weight and an average oil content of 5% by weight.
- This mill scale fraction is mixed with quicklime 3 of good quality with regard to the dispersion behavior and the hydration reaction, etc., the reaction temperature being about 70 ° C. and the residence time in the mixer 2 being a few minutes.
- the processing of mill scale can also advantageously be carried out if the material to be processed is puncture-resistant. Since a certain proportion of binder, that is to say a certain amount of quicklime 3, is definitely required, the advantageous consistency of the is processing mill scale in the range of 5 to 15% residual moisture. However, the processing of iron and oil-containing hut material residues 1 with a residual moisture lying outside this range also poses no problems
- a free-flowing, old-dispersed, dry fraction is formed in the mixer 2 by adding quicklime 3 to the iron- and oil-containing hut mill residues 1.
- This free-flowing fraction 4 can be further processed in various ways.
- the free-flowing fraction 4 is comminuted in a comminution device 5, for example a grinding device, preferably to a grain size of less than 5 mm.
- This comminuted free-flowing fraction 4 can be melted and melted directly, for example by means of blowing lances / or reduction unit 6, for example a blast furnace 6a, a converter 6b or into an electric arc furnace 6c
- dispersed hydrocarbons ie the dispersed oils
- the quicklime 3 as a slag former
- the free-flowing fraction 4 can, however, also be combined in a second mixer 7 with other non-oil-containing waste material 8, in particular with dust from dry filter systems and / or with sludges from wet washers.
- sludges and dusts include, for example, converter dusts and sludges, blast furnace dust and sludges, dusts from electric arc furnaces, etc.
- converter dusts and sludges include, for example, converter dusts and sludges, blast furnace dust and sludges, dusts from electric arc furnaces, etc.
- the mixing ratio of the individual metallurgical waste fractions in the second mixer 7 mainly results from the quantities of the waste material from the hut and their chemical composition.

- the free-flowing fraction 4 is separated into a fine fraction 11 and a coarse fraction 13 by means of a sieve device 12.
- the coarse fraction 13, e.g. Rolling scale flakes, which have a grain size of greater than 5 mm, for example, are either introduced directly into the melting and / or reducing unit 6 or, if their oil content is less than about 0.2% by weight, fed to a sintering device 14.
- the coarse fraction 13 can then be returned from the sintering device 14 to a blast furnace 6a.
- the fine fraction 1 which for example has a grain size of less than 5 mm, is either directly, e.g. by means of blowing lances, blown into the melting and / or reducing unit 6, or, as described above, mixed with other hut material residues 8, agglomerated and introduced into the melting and / or reducing unit 6 in this way.
- the iron and oil-containing waste mill residues 1 are homogenized in the first mixer 2 together with the other waste mill residues 8 and mixed with quicklime 3, optionally with the addition of water.
