Definitions

• the invention relates to a method and apparatus for purifying slag from a nonferrous metal (NE) or iron alloy production process.
• NE nonferrous metal
• the slag produced in the said production processes is typically passed continuously through a slag inlet chute 1 12 into a settling furnace 110, where it is heated and metallurgically treated.
• the treatment serves to reduce the metal content still contained in the slag.
• the original slag decomposes into a metal alloy and a first residual slag.
• the metal alloy is poured over a metal outlet trough 1 1 1 of the settling furnace 1 10, while the
• the invention is based on the object, a known method and a known apparatus for the purification of slag from a non-ferrous or
• This object is achieved by the method according to claim 1. Accordingly, a tapping of the first residual slag into a pan, analyzing the composition of the first residual slag and finally introducing at least one gaseous medium on or in the first residual slag for metallurgical-physical reaction to a second residual slag in the pan.
• the gaseous medium is selected depending on the analyzed individual composition of the first residual slag.
• analyzing typically means taking a sample out of the slag and analyzing the current metallurgical / chemical composition of the sample. The analysis may take a longer period of time, so that the results of the analysis are not available until the end of this period The composition of the sample determined on the basis of the analysis may then no longer correspond exactly to the composition of the slag at the end of said period, because in the meantime further material inputs into the slag may have taken place It also forecasts the extent to which slag composition is likely to change during the analysis period, for example due to further inputs to the slag during that period.
• the term "ladle furnace” is used here in the sense of a Slag Treatment Station (STS).
• the gaseous medium in the sense of the invention is either a gas or a gaseous carrier medium in combination with dusty or fine-grained substances; Keyword: carbon injection.
• the introduction of the gaseous medium serves to intensify an intended (chemical) reaction, for example for homogenization or better
• the gas or the gaseous carrier medium may be an inert gas or carbon dioxide.
• the at least one gaseous medium is selected such that it has its
• the claimed ladle treatment converts the first residual slag originally fed into the ladle into a second residual slag.
• This second residual slag is less harmful from an environmental point of view than the first residual slag because part of the undesired constituents contained in the first residual slag has been separated by said treatment, either by evaporation or by transfer to a heavy metal phase, which occurs later on Floor of the second settling furnace settles.
• FIG 1 shows the device according to the invention
• FIG 2 shows apparatus according to the prior art. The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to Figure 1 in the form of embodiments.
• the invention starts according to FIG. 1 where the prior art described above with reference to FIG. 2 ceases, namely when the first residual slag is torn off the first settling furnace 110 via the first settling furnace
• the tapping off of the first residual slag from a non-ferrous or ferrous alloy production process into a pan 120 basically known from the iron and steel industry initially causes the inflow of slag which still takes place continuously in the first settling furnace 110 to be interrupted because the parting off of the first slag Residual slag is discontinuous.
• the use of the ladle 120 for receiving the first residual slag offers the advantage that the ladle can be used as a transport and treatment vessel for the further treatment of the first slag
• Residual slag is already ideally suited from home. So she has
• the pan 120 may also be designed as a ladle furnace or as a copper refining furnace / Aufchristen and is as such best suited for heating the first residual slag to the metallurgical-physical reaction of the first residual slag with the
• the residual slag is preferably heated with electrodes 128, as shown in FIG.
• Feeder tubes provided for feeding additives, such as
• the gaseous medium can be introduced into the residual slag via a scavenging lance immersed in the slag from above, via lateral scouring lances or via bottom bricks.
• the inventive method optionally further provides that the pan 120 with the second residual slag, for example by means of a trolley 130 or with the aid of a Cranes (not shown) to a second
• Settling furnace 140 is transported and that the second residual slag is then poured from the pan 120 in the second settling furnace 140.
• the pouring takes place, for example with the aid of a tilting chair 135 via a slag inlet channel 142.
• the second settling furnace 140 which is typically a reduction furnace (Submerged Arc Furnace SAF)

• the second metal alloy is tapped via a spout 146 separately to the third residual slag.
• the second residual slag is preferably maintained at a constant temperature.
• an entry of heat energy into the second settling furnace 140 can take place.
• This entry of the thermal energy preferably takes place via a plurality of smaller electrodes 148 with a diameter of less than 900 mm, which project into the slag of the second settling furnace.
• the electrodes 148 may be arranged either along a straight line or offset from the straight line in a zig-zag shape.
• the straight line preferably extends along or parallel to the longitudinal side of a preferably rectangular vessel of the second settling furnace.
• the majority of smaller electrodes have the advantage of less agitating the residual slag than a single large electrode, and therefore allow better thermal preservation.
• the second settling furnace 140 may be powered by DC or AC. For smaller slag entries and thus smaller dimensions of the second settling furnace 140, however, equipping with 3 larger electrodes can be structurally simpler and more economical.
• the third residual slag contains only a metal content of less than 0.5 wt .-%, in particular of heavy metals, and is therefore much more environmentally friendly to dispose of, as the first or the second residual slag.
