Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- the copper is leached using sulfuric acid to form a copper sulfate solution, from which solution the copper is electrowon by deposition to have copper metal.
- electrolysis a lead anode and a cathode made of stainless steel are immersed in an electrolyte bath encompassing a copper sulfate / sulfuric acid so ⁇ lution. Electric current flows from the anode to the cathode, giving rise to an electro-chemical reaction, whereby the metallic copper is deposited on the sur ⁇ face of the cathode. At the same time, oxygen is re- leased on the surface of the anode.
- Electrolytic cells 7 are normally covered by hoods 8 (see Fig. 1) which are used to collect the acid mist and lead it via the acid mist treatment apparatus to the atmosphere.
- Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a typical known acid mist treatment apparatus.
- the acid mist treatment ap ⁇ paratus includes a gas scrubber 1 operating on a wet- scrubbing principle and receiving the off-gas includ- ing acid mist sucked from electrowinning EW.
- the gas scrubber 1 removes the acid mist from the gas.
- a demister 2 is provided. From the demister 2, the gas is sucked by a fan 3 and led to a chimney 4 from which the cleaned gas exits to the ambient air.
- the fan 3 provides a negative pressure to suck the gas through the gas scrubber 1 and the demister 2.
- a choke valve 6 prior to the chimney 4.
- the problem is that a fan placed after the gas scrub ⁇ ber in the flow direction of the gas operates as a sucking fan, whereby it does not operate in an optimal fashion and the gas flow may vary violently and very abruptly.
- a choke valve has therefore been required, which increases investment costs.
- the choke valve also has the effect of increasing the energy costs of the drive motor of the fan.
- the fan also requires an ef ⁇ fective drive motor, which increases investment costs.
- a further problem is that the gas scrubber operates under a negative pressure, whereby the negative pres ⁇ sure favors evaporation and thus impairs cleaning ef ⁇ ficiency of the gas scrubber.
- the fan cannot be cleaned by water during use because the washing water would go directly out of the chimney. With the current system, in order to clean the fan it must be stopped for cleaning.
- the objective of the invention is to remedy the de ⁇ fects referred to above.
- the objective of the invention is to disclose an improved apparatus which is, in terms of investment and operating costs, more advantageous than the current apparatuses.
- a further objective of the invention is to disclose an apparatus where the gas scrubber can operate under a slightly positive pressure.
- Yet another objective of the invention is to disclose an apparatus where cleaning the fan with water during use is possible without stopping the fan.
- the apparatus according to the invention is characterized by what has been presented in claim 1.
- the fan is provided prior to the gas scrubber in the flow direction of the gas, whereby the gas scrubber operates under a slightly positive pressure.
- the source that forms acid mist is electrowinning .
- Other parts of pro ⁇ Deads can also produce acid mist.
- the fan is provid ⁇ ed with a water spray cleaning device to clean the fan during use.
- the gas scrubber is a wet gas scrubber bringing the gas to be cleaned into contact with a scrubbing solution.
- the demister is cyclone-, lamellar- or mesh-type or any combination thereof .
- the fan is a vari ⁇ able-speed fan.
- Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a prior art acid mist treatment apparatus
- Fig. 2 schematically illustrates one embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 illustrates an apparatus for treating off-gas including acid mist produced in electrowinning EW.
- the apparatus includes a gas scrubber 1 arranged to re ⁇ ceive the off-gas including acid mist to be cleaned from acid mist.
- a fan 3 to provide a gas flow is dis ⁇ posed before the gas scrubber 1 in the flow direction of the gas, whereby the gas scrubber operates under a slightly positive pressure. Placing the fan 3 before the gas scrubber has the effect of the gas scrubber using less electrical energy because the unnecessary choke valve is taken out and the same scrubbing capac ⁇ ity is achieved with a smaller electric motor of the fan.
- investment costs are reduced by 10% and operating costs by 20% relative to the corresponding known solution.
- the gas flow through the gas scrubber is reduced because the gas scrubber operates on a slightly positive pressure in ⁇ stead of the slightly negative pressure of the solu ⁇ tion used in the prior art of Fig. 1.
- the difference between the gas flow values rang ⁇ es from 10.5% (Om.a.s.l.) to 17% (3000m. a . s .1. ) , mean ⁇ ing investment costs reduced by 25%. Cleaning by wa ⁇ ter during use of the fan 3 is possible.
- a system operating on a positive pressure favors condensation and thus improves the scrubbing capacity.
- the gas scrubber is followed in the flow direction of the gas by a demister 2 to receive the gas from the gas scrub ⁇ ber and remove droplets from the gas.
- the apparatus further includes a chimney 4 to carry the cleaned dry gas to the ambient airspace.
- the fan 3 is provided with a water spray cleaning de ⁇ vice 5 to clean the fan during use.
- the fan 3 may be a constant- or variable-speed fan.
- the gas scrubber 1 is preferably a wet-type gas scrub ⁇ ber bringing the gas to be cleaned into contact with a scrubbing solution, such as water.
- the demister 2 may be cyclone-, lamellar- or mesh-type or any combination thereof.
