Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for granula ⁇ tion of titania slag for further processing.
- Titania slag is used as feed material for the produc ⁇ tion of pigments and it is produced by smelting ilmen- ite and a suitable carbonaceous reductant in electric furnaces. After smelting of ilmenite the titania slag is in molten or liquid form from which it has to be solificated for further processing.
- solification of titania slag was carried out by cast ⁇ ing liquid slag into large bowls or pots in which it was cooled down for a long period of time before crushing and grinding to small granules. This kind of process has several disadvantages. It is slow and com ⁇ plex, and further, it is expensive e.g. because of high consumption of energy.
- a further disadvantage is the fact that a great amount of fine product, i.e. dust is formed when large blocks of cooled titania are crushed or ground.
- This kind of fine product, the par ⁇ ticle size of which is under 0,1 mm is a lower value product and for further processing for the production of pigments it demands a different route compared to a higher value coarse product the aimed particle size of which is about 1 mm more precisely 0,1 - 0,85 mm.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for granulation of titania slag for further processing by which method the problems relating to prior art technique are avoided or at least minimized.
- the object of the invention is achieved by the method characterized in the appended claims.
- the invention provides a method for granulation of titania slag for further processing.
- titania slag is produced by smelting ilmenite in an electric furnace to form liq ⁇ uid slag.
- liquid slag is tapped from the electric furnace into a granulation pit; during tapping the liquid slag is impacted by high-pressure water jets to get the slag stream frag ⁇ mented into small granules; and the slag granules are fed into a granule dryer in which the slag granules are dried for further use.
- CO-gas produced during smelting of ilmenite in the closed electric furnace is used for drying of granules in the granule dryer.
- CO-gas produced in the closed electric furnace is used as fuel to form drying gas to be used in the granule dryer.
- the slag granules before feeding the slag granules from the granulation pit into the gran ⁇ ule dryer the slag granules are fed into granule bin or bins for dewatering the granules.
- at least one drying equipment is used as the granule dryer.
- drying equipment is a drying tower, a stationary drying tower, a drying drum, flash dryer or dryer or alike.
- the method utilizes CO-gas as a drying gas .
- the drying equipment is used as the granule dryer, into which drying towers the drying gas is fed in several height positions to increase the drying efficiency.
- the inventive method is cost effective compared to any other prior art method. This is due to the fact that in the invention granulated titania slag is dried with CO-gas which is produced by the same closed electric furnace in which ilmenite is smelted. CO-gas is formed in the smelting process, so it is free energy fuel. In the environmental point of view the recycling of CO-gas is important so emissions of CO-gas are lower. In prior art it is common prac ⁇ tice to use heavy fuel oil for drying purposes, and this is quite costly.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of various steps of the in ⁇ ventive handling of titania slag.
- the slag stream is fragmented by the water flow 4 into small parti- cles, i.e. granules, that at this stage are very wet and in fact they are suspended in the granulation pit 3. Therefore the granules must be dewatered and dried before further processing.
- wet granules are transferred from the granulation pit 3 to at least one granule bin 7, in which excess water is drained from the granules.
- the system shown in Fig. 1 comprises three granule bins 7. Wet granules are transferred from the granulation pit 3 into the bins 7 by a granule conveyor 6.
- the granu ⁇ lation pit 3 is provided with a granule elevator 5 by which the granules are taken from the granulation pit 3 and lifted onto the granule conveyor 6.
- elevator can also be a de-watering apparatus, a sepa- rator, a screw hoist, a drum or alike or even a bucket loader which collects a stack wherein the dewatering happen and after that the material is transferred to further process.
- a granule dryer 9 which comprises at least one drying towers 10, 11 in the example shown in Fig. 1.
- tower can be used a drying tower, a stationary drying tower, a drying drum or alike.
- the granules are fed from the gran ⁇ ule bins 7 via a granule feeder and collecting convey- or 8 to the top of the drying towers 10, 11 from where they run downwards to the bottom of the drying towers 10, 11. While running downwards in the drying towers 10, 11 the granules are dried by drying gas fed into the drying towers 10, 11.
- the drying gas is CO-gas produced by the electric fur- nace 1 during smelting of ilmenite.
- the smelting pro ⁇ cess produces gases which are collected by at least one gas collector 14 and led to a gas scrubber or gas cooling and/or cleaning apparatus 15 which cools CO- gas from the gas mixture and erases the dust particles or purifies it, whereby purified CO-gas is led from the gas -scrubber or cool and/or cleaning apparatus 15 to a burner 18 of a combustion chamber 17 via a conduit 16.
- Combustion air is fed to the burner 18, the burner can also be a drum dryer and possible if needed secondary air to the combustion chamber 17 via conduits 19, 20.
- drying gas is fed to the drying towers 10, 11 of the granule dryer 9 via a drying gas ductwork 21 which can been divided in several gas inlets 22 and 23 through which drying gas is fed into the drying towers 10, 11 in several height positions to increase the drying effi ⁇ ciency.
- Exhaust gases are led out of the drying towers 10, 11 through exhausts 24, 25.
- Dried titania granules are discharged from the lower part of the drying tow- ers 10, 11 by discharge feeders 12, 13 to a discharge conveyor 26 which transfers titania granules for fur ⁇ ther processing.
- the drying equipment can be a drying tower, a station- ary drying tower, a drying drum or alike.
- Tower can be replaced by drying drum, flash dryer or dryer which utilizes CO-gas as a drying gas. If needed, dried slag granules are further crushed and screened, grinded, and classified to fine and coarse product. Titania slag granules are further used in pigment plant to produce T1O 2 pigment.
