detailed description

It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide a further description of the application. All technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs, unless otherwise indicated.

It is to be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments, and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments. As used herein, the singular " " " " " " There are features, steps, operations, devices, components, and/or combinations thereof.

As described in the background art, the prior art copper smelting process has a long process, and the anode copper has low production efficiency and high production cost. In order to solve the problem, the present invention provides an anode copper production method comprising the steps of: transporting a copper crucible into a copper making furnace, and injecting oxygen-enriched air into the copper making furnace to oxidize the copper crucible to The copper crucible is subjected to a copper-forming reaction to form an anode copper; wherein the volume percentage of oxygen in the oxygen-enriched air is 30 to 80%. The invention oxidizes the copper ruthenium in a high oxygen-rich state to cause a copper-making reaction, and can be converted from copper ruthenium to anode copper in one step, which greatly simplifies the production process of the anode copper and improves the production efficiency of the anode copper. And save production costs.

The above copper-making reaction is used to directly produce anode copper. In a preferred embodiment, in the step of the copper-making reaction, the cold material is simultaneously added to the copper-making furnace, and/or the water mist is sprayed into the copper-making furnace, and/or disposed outside the furnace body of the copper-making furnace. a cooling element; wherein the cold material comprises one or more of waste copper, electrolytic residual copper, and solid copper.

In order to shorten the process, CN103382528 proposes a two-step copper smelting process, which first melts copper concentrate into 65-78% copper-copper in a smelting furnace, and then directly produces an anode by oxidation-reduction reaction in a converting furnace. copper. This method mainly has the problem of heat balance and the flue gas problem brought about by it: the redox reaction in the blowing furnace emits a large amount of heat, which must be carried away in some way to maintain the heat balance; the process regulates oxygen, air, The amount of nitrogen, the heat of reaction is carried away by the gas, so the total amount of gas injected must be more, and the relative oxygen concentration is necessarily lower, which makes the amount of flue gas large, and the sulfur dioxide content in the flue gas is very low. Therefore, the subsequent flue gas treatment system and the acid production system are large in scale, large in investment, and high in operating cost. At the same time, the amount of gas injected is large, which will lead to more intense agitation of the whole melt, and the kinetic energy of the melt scouring lining is large, and the furnace life is short. In addition, the patent does not indicate how to achieve a copper-copper grade of 65 to 78% in the melting furnace.

Different from the heat balance method in the above patent, the present invention adopts the method of adding cold material to the copper making furnace, and/or spraying water mist into the copper making furnace, and/or cooling outside the furnace body of the copper making furnace. The thermal balance of the components. The advantages of each method are as follows:

For the method of adding the cold material: since the reaction occurring in the copper making furnace is an exothermic reaction, the addition of the cold material is beneficial to achieve the heat balance, and at the same time, the heat released by the reaction is used to melt the cold material, and the heat is fully utilized. The added cold material may be one or more of waste copper, electrolytic residual copper, and solid copper. At present, copper smelting plants use separate metallurgical furnaces to melt and refine secondary copper materials such as waste copper and electrolytic residual copper. This requires not only additional fuel to heat the cold material, but more importantly, the purchase of separate equipment. The construction of separate workshops and the configuration of individual workers has greatly increased the operating costs of the plant. By adopting the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, not only the equipment, the factory building and the personnel are added, but also the waste copper, the electrolytic residual copper and the like are processed, and the energy and resources required for the molten material are saved, and the economic benefit is remarkable. . In short, the use of the rich heat of the copper-making furnace to melt the copper, reducing the processing cost of the copper.

For the way of setting the cooling element of the furnace body: it is preferable to use a water jacket, which is also for heat dissipation to achieve heat balance of the furnace body.

For the way of spraying water mist: Since water absorbs a large amount of heat during gasification, it can take more heat in the case of a smaller final gas volume, so that the copper-making reaction can be carried out under high oxygen-rich blowing conditions, and high oxygen enrichment The concentration blowing just solves the above problems caused by the low oxygen enrichment concentration blowing in the patents such as CN103382528. In addition, the injection of water mist has the following advantages: 1) Control the furnace temperature more effectively. Since the gasification of water can absorb a large amount of heat, a small change in the amount of water injected can cause a large change in heat, so that the furnace temperature can be controlled more accurately and effectively; 2) the life of the spray gun is extended. Due to the high efficiency of high oxygen enrichment, the gas injected into the spray gun is less than the low oxygen enrichment concentration, the working strength of the spray gun is low, and the cooling effect of the water can also extend the life of the spray gun itself; 3) 40% rich For example, the oxygen concentration can be nearly 1 times higher than the low oxygen rich concentration (21% to 25%). In the case of the same amount of flue gas, the high oxygen enrichment concentration (for example, 40%) can handle nearly twice as much material; 4) low energy consumption and low power consumption. The power of the water spray device is much smaller than the size of the device that is blasted into the air.

Because of the above-described heat balance mode of the present invention, the copper-making furnace of the present invention can be carried out under conditions of high oxygen-rich concentration blowing.

In a preferred embodiment, in the step of the copper-making reaction, after the step of performing the oxidation treatment, the metal copper and the copper-making slag are obtained, and when the metal copper in the copper-making furnace contains less than 0.2% by weight of oxygen, The copper slag is discharged into the copper making furnace, and the metal copper is used as the anode copper; when the metal copper in the copper making furnace contains more than 0.2% by weight of oxygen, the copper slag is discharged into the copper making furnace and then introduced into the copper making furnace. The reducing agent reduces the copper oxide impurities in the metallic copper to obtain an anode copper.

The purpose of the copper-making reaction is to remove sulfur and other impurities from the copper crucible to obtain a qualified anode copper. The impurity removal process mainly uses an oxidation reaction to oxidize impurities in copper to remove slag. When the metal copper in the coppermaking furnace contains less than 0.2% by weight of oxygen, on the one hand, it is indicated that the impurities are more sufficiently oxidized and enter the copper slag, and on the other hand, the copper is substantially not subjected to peroxidation. At this time, in the present invention, in the process of the copper-making reaction, the process of oxidizing only does not reduce, and the anode copper can be directly obtained. When the oxygen contained in the metallic copper in the copper-making furnace is higher than 0.2% by weight, it is indicated that part of the copper is oxidized while removing impurities. At this time, a reducing agent may be further added to carry out a reduction reaction of these copper oxide impurities. Further, in the present invention, the reduction reaction is carried out after the copper-making slag is discharged from the copper-making furnace, and it is also possible to prevent the impurities previously oxidized and slag from being dissolved back into the metallic copper, thereby further ensuring the grade of the anode copper.

In a preferred embodiment, in the step of oxidizing the copper crucible, the flux is added from the top of the copper making furnace; meanwhile, the oxygen-enriched air is sprayed into the copper making furnace for oxidation treatment by bottom blowing. Alternatively, a reducing agent may be sprayed to carry out the reduction reaction. Preferably, the flux is selected from the group consisting of quartz and/or limestone. Preferably, the reducing agent is selected from one or more of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and solid carbon-based reducing agent, and the solid carbon-based reducing agent is preferably pulverized coal and/or lump coal. The above processes and reagents can further enhance the effect of the copper making reaction.

In a preferred embodiment, the copper content of the copper matte is 70% by weight or more, which can avoid the problem that the copper slag amount is too large due to the copper content of the copper matte is too high, and the copper straightness caused by the copper crucible is prevented. The problem of low yield. More preferably, the copper content of the copper ruthenium is 70 to 78% by weight, which can further avoid the problem that the copper content of the smelting slag is too high due to the excessive copper content of the first copper ruthenium, and the problem of low copper direct yield is prevented. . In addition, when the copper bismuth contains copper at 70 to 78%, elements such as lead, zinc and bismuth enter the smelting slag in the form of an oxide, which facilitates subsequent recovery of these elements from the CR furnace. If the copper bismuth contains low copper, such as 40-50%, some of these elements will remain in the copper bismuth, which is not conducive to subsequent recovery from the CR furnace.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided an anode copper production apparatus, as shown in FIG. 1, which comprises a copper making furnace 20 provided with a copper crucible inlet and a copper making slag outlet, and a copper making furnace 20 It is used for copper-making reaction of copper bismuth to generate anode copper and copper slag; the anode copper production device further comprises a spray gun which is arranged at the side or the bottom of the copper-making furnace 20 for injecting oxygen into the copper-making furnace 20. The volume percentage is 30 to 80% of oxygen-enriched air and an optional reducing agent. The production device provided by the invention can perform copper-making reaction on copper bismuth in a high oxygen-rich state, and can convert copper bismuth into anode copper in one step, which greatly simplifies the production process of anode copper, improves the production efficiency of anode copper, and saves Production costs.

Specifically, when the metal copper in the coppermaking furnace contains less than 0.2% oxygen, on the one hand, it is indicated that the impurities are more sufficiently oxidized and enter the copper slag, and on the other hand, the copper is substantially not subjected to peroxidation. At this time, in the present invention, in the process of the copper-making reaction, the process of oxidizing only does not reduce, and the anode copper can be directly obtained. When the oxygen content in the metallic copper in the copper-making furnace is higher than 0.2%, it indicates that some copper is oxidized while removing impurities. At this time, a reducing agent may be further added to carry out a reduction reaction of these copper oxide impurities. Further, in the present invention, the reduction reaction is carried out after the copper-making slag is discharged from the copper-making furnace, and it is also possible to prevent the impurities previously oxidized and slag from being dissolved back into the metallic copper, thereby further ensuring the grade of the anode copper.

In a preferred embodiment, the copper making furnace 20 is also provided with a flux inlet for introducing a flux. The introduction of a flux facilitates further improvement of the grade of the anode copper. Preferably, the furnace body of the copper making furnace 20 is a horizontal cylindrical furnace body.

In a preferred embodiment, the copper making furnace 20 is further provided with a cold material inlet for adding one or more of electrolytic copper residuals, scrap copper and solid copper crucibles to the copper making furnace 20. Preferably, the anode copper production apparatus further includes a cooling device for cooling the copper making furnace 20. More preferably, the cooling device is a vacuum water jacket device or a water mist cooling device. Further preferably, the water spray device is used to spray water mist into the inside of the furnace body of the copper making furnace 20.

Because of the above-described heat balance mode of the present invention, the copper-making furnace of the present invention can be carried out under conditions of high oxygen-rich concentration blowing. In the step of copper-making reaction of copper matte, the obtained anode copper is a copper melt.

In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the copper making furnace 20 is further provided with an anode copper outlet; the anode copper production device is further provided with a casting device 40, and the casting device 40 is in communication with the anode copper outlet for the anode Copper is cast. The copper melt can be further cast by forming the casting apparatus 40 to form a product such as an anode copper plate. More preferably, the casting apparatus 40 is a double disc casting machine.

In addition to the above problems of long production process and low efficiency of anode copper, the treatment of smelting slag in the prior art requires a large area of slag slow cooling field and complicated slag beneficiation, which increases construction cost and technical complexity, and has valuable metals. Loss of waste and environmental pollution. In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a short-process copper smelting method, which comprises a smelting furnace, a copper-making furnace, a CR furnace, a first flow tank and a second flow tank; the smelting furnace is provided with a copper sputum outlet And the smelting slag outlet; the copper making furnace is provided with a copper crucible inlet, the copper crucible inlet is connected to the copper crucible outlet through the first laundering tank; the CR furnace is provided with a molten slag inlet, and the molten slag inlet is connected to the melting slag outlet through the second laundering; The process copper smelting method comprises the steps of: smelting a copper concentrate in a smelting furnace to obtain a first copper slag and a smelting slag; and performing a copper-making reaction on the first copper bismuth in a copper-making furnace to generate an anode copper and a copper slag And reducing smelting and sedimentation of the smelting slag in the CR furnace to comprehensively recover valuable metals in the smelting slag and to make harmless slag; the valuable metals include one or more of lead, zinc and bismuth; The process copper smelting method simultaneously completes the production of anode copper, the comprehensive recovery of valuable metals in the smelting slag, and the direct production of harmless slag by the CR furnace. Compared with the prior art, the above method greatly shortens the total process, is conducive to reducing construction costs, reducing technical complexity, and achieving comprehensive resource recovery and eliminating environmental hazards.

As used herein, "harmless slag" means: slag that does not cause heavy metal contamination.

The CR furnace is called a fully recycled furnace.

In the above method, after the smelting slag is obtained, valuable metals such as metal zinc, lead, antimony, etc., in the smelting slag can be recovered by reducing smelting and sedimentation of the smelting slag. This effectively solves the problem of waste of valuable metals in the existing copper smelting process, and avoids the pollution of these metals to the environment; on the other hand, the reduction smelting and sedimentation of the smelting slag replaces the original slag. The beneficiation process not only greatly reduces the factory floor space, but also makes the process more simple. It also fundamentally eliminates the pollution caused by the beneficiation agent added in the slag beneficiation process. At the same time, it should be noted that the copper smelting method of the present invention adopts a copper-plating device with a pick-up type, and the copper bismuth end of the smelting furnace is directly connected to the copper-making furnace through the launder, and the smelting furnace is discharged. The slag end is directly connected to the CR furnace through the launder, which realizes short-process copper smelting. At the same time, it completes the production of anode copper, the comprehensive recovery of valuable metals in the smelting slag and the direct production of harmless slag by the CR furnace, which has a good industrialization. Scale application prospects.

In a preferred embodiment, the step of smelting the copper concentrate in the smelting furnace comprises: mixing the copper concentrate with the first flux to obtain a mixture; and feeding the mixture into the smelting furnace at the first oxidizing agent Melting is carried out under the action to obtain a first copper crucible and a smelting slag. Preferably, the bottom blowing smelting method or the side blowing smelting method is employed in the smelting process. The use of the bottom blowing smelting method or the side blowing smelting method can further improve the copper enamel grade. More preferably, the first flux is selected from quartz stone and/or limestone; the first oxidant is selected from one or more of oxygen, compressed air, and oxygen-enriched air.

As used herein, "oxygen-enriched air" refers to a gas having a concentration of oxygen greater than the concentration of oxygen in the air, such as may be obtained by incorporating oxygen into the air.

In a preferred embodiment, in the step of smelting the copper concentrate in the smelting furnace, the first oxidizing agent is injected in an amount corresponding to 120 Nm ³ or more of O ₂ per ton of copper concentrate to make the copper of the first copper bismuth. The content is 70% by weight or more. The injection amount of the first oxidant is controlled to be 120 Nm ³ or more and O ₂ per ton of copper concentrate, so that the copper content of the first copper ruthenium is 70% by weight or more, thereby avoiding the copper content of the first copper ruthenium being too low. The problem of the large amount of copper slag caused is to prevent the problem of low copper yield due to it. More preferably, the first oxidizing agent is injected in an amount of 120 to 200 Nm ³ O ₂ per ton of copper concentrate so that the copper content of the first copper cerium is 70 to 78% by weight, which can further avoid the copper content of the first copper ruthenium. The high smelting slag copper contains an excessively high problem, preventing the problem of low copper yield. In addition, when the copper bismuth contains copper at 70 to 78%, elements such as lead, zinc and bismuth enter the smelting slag in the form of oxides, which facilitates subsequent recovery of these elements from the CR furnace. If the copper bismuth contains low copper, such as 40-50%, some of these elements will remain in the copper bismuth, which is not conducive to subsequent recovery from the CR furnace.

In a preferred embodiment, in the step of melting the copper concentrate in the melting furnace, the cooled copper-making slag is put into a melting furnace and smelted together with the copper concentrate. By adding the cooled copper slag, the problem of overheating during the smelting process can be alleviated, and the smelting process can be more easily carried out at a higher oxygen-rich concentration, and thus the amount of flue gas generated can be reduced.

In addition to this, it is preferred that the melting temperature in the smelting process is 1150 to 1300 ° C, and the first flux is added in an amount of 1 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the copper ore.

The above copper-making reaction is used to directly produce anode copper. In a preferred embodiment, the step of performing a copper-making reaction on the first copper crucible in the copper-making furnace further comprises: simultaneously adding cold material to the copper-making furnace, and/or spraying water mist into the copper-making furnace, And/or providing a cooling element outside the furnace body of the coppermaking furnace; wherein the cold material comprises one or more of waste copper, electrolytic residual copper and solid copper.

Because of the above-described heat balance mode of the present invention, the copper-making furnace of the present invention can be carried out under conditions of high oxygen-rich concentration blowing. In a preferred embodiment, in the step of performing a copper-making reaction, the first copper crucible is oxidized by injecting oxygen-enriched air into the copper-making furnace to perform a copper-making reaction, and the volume of oxygen in the oxygen-enriched air The percentage is 30 to 80%. Although CN103382528 mentions that the oxygen concentration of the blowing furnace is 9-60%, since it relies on the gas to carry away heat, the actual oxygen concentration can only be maintained below 25%, and the high oxygen-rich concentration cannot be truly achieved. In the present invention, the above-mentioned heat balance means can fully achieve an oxygen-enriched air concentration of 30 to 80%.

In a preferred embodiment, in the step of the copper-making reaction, after the step of performing the oxidation treatment, the metal copper and the copper-making slag are obtained; when the metal copper in the copper-making furnace contains less than 0.2% by weight of oxygen, The copper slag is discharged from the coppermaking furnace to obtain anode copper. When the oxygen in the metal copper in the coppermaking furnace is higher than 0.2 wt%, the copper slag is discharged into the coppermaking furnace, and the reducing agent is introduced into the coppermaking furnace. The copper oxide impurities in the metallic copper are subjected to a reduction reaction to obtain an anode copper.

The purpose of the copper-making reaction is to remove the sulfur element and other impurities in the first copper crucible to obtain a qualified anode copper. The impurity removal process mainly uses an oxidation reaction to oxidize impurities in copper to remove slag. When the metal copper in the coppermaking furnace contains less than 0.2% by weight of oxygen, on the one hand, it is indicated that the impurities are more sufficiently oxidized and enter the copper slag, and on the other hand, the copper is substantially not subjected to peroxidation. At this time, in the present invention, in the process of the copper-making reaction, the process of oxidizing only does not reduce, and the anode copper can be directly obtained. When the oxygen contained in the metallic copper in the copper-making furnace is higher than 0.2% by weight, it is indicated that part of the copper is oxidized while removing impurities. At this time, a reducing agent may be further added to carry out a reduction reaction of these copper oxide impurities. Further, in the present invention, the reduction reaction is carried out after the copper-making slag is discharged from the copper-making furnace, and it is also possible to prevent the impurities previously oxidized and slag from being dissolved back into the metallic copper, thereby further ensuring the grade of the anode copper.

In a preferred embodiment, in the step of oxidizing the first copper crucible in the copper making furnace, the second flux is added from the top of the copper making furnace; meanwhile, the bottom blowing method is used in the copper making furnace. The oxygen-enriched air is sprayed for oxidation treatment, or alternatively, the first reducing agent is sprayed for reduction. Preferably, the second flux is selected from the group consisting of quartz stone and/or limestone. Preferably, the first reducing agent is selected from one or more of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and solid carbon-based reducing agent. Preferably, the solid carbon-based reducing agent is a pulverized coal and/or a solid carbonaceous reducing agent. The above processes and reagents can further enhance the effect of the copper making reaction.

The function of the above CR furnace is to recover valuable metals in the smelting slag by reducing fuming and sedimentation, and to make harmless slag. In a preferred embodiment, the CR furnace includes a cavity including a reducing reduction chamber and a settling chamber; and the step of recovering the valuable metal in the smelting slag includes: smelting the slag in the reducing smoulding chamber Performing reduction and smoulding treatment to obtain valuable metal flue gas and reducing slag, and sedimenting the reducing slag in the sedimentation chamber to obtain second copper ruthenium and harmless slag; or sedimenting the smelting slag in the sedimentation chamber, The second copper ruthenium and the sedimentation slag are obtained, and the sedimentation slag is subjected to reduction and smoulding treatment in the reduction smoulding cavity to obtain a valuable metal smog and a harmless slag.

The above CR furnace is an integrated recovery furnace, which simultaneously includes a reduction smoulding chamber and a settling chamber. In the first treatment method, the smelting slag is successively subjected to reduction smoulding treatment and sedimentation treatment. When the smelting slag is subjected to reduction and fuming treatment, the magnetic iron (ferric oxide) in the smelting slag can be reduced to ferrous oxide for slag formation, which can reduce the viscosity of the smelting slag, thereby improving the subsequent sedimentation separation effect and facilitating The second copper ruthenium is separated from the reducing slag. At the same time, after the valuable metal oxides such as zinc, lead and antimony are reduced to metal, they are separated into valuable metal fumes due to their volatility, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering valuable metals. After the reduction smoulding treatment, the reduced slag (flowing dynamics) is obtained and enters into the sedimentation chamber for sedimentation separation to obtain the second copper ruthenium and the harmless slag. More importantly, the reduced slag after the reduction smoulding treatment directly enters the sedimentation separation, on the one hand, the treatment efficiency can be greatly improved; on the other hand, since the reducing slag directly enters the sedimentation treatment, a more stable flow state can be maintained, and in the process There are only slight temperature changes or even no temperature changes. The two reasons make it have better sedimentation effect, which can further improve the recovery rate of the second copper matte.

For the second treatment, the sedimentation treatment is set before the step of reducing the fuming treatment. In this way, the copper ruthenium in the smelting slag can be separated first, and then subjected to reduction and smouldering treatment to further recover valuable metals such as zinc, lead, and antimony.

It should be noted that the present invention more preferably adopts a method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment, compared to the manner of reducing the fuming treatment after the sedimentation. For the method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment, the advantage is that the higher the sedimentation separation temperature, the better the separation effect. The temperature required for the reduction of flue gas is very high (1200 to 1400 ° C). Therefore, the temperature of the material after the first reduction of flue gas is high, and separation can be achieved in the sedimentation stage without additional heating. Of course, this method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment can also replenish the sedimentation treatment. However, the method of reducing the flue gas after sedimentation and separation is inevitably required to replenish heat during the sedimentation process. The specific heating method can be as follows: the electrode can be heated or insulated in the settling section (for example, 3 to 6 electrodes can be set), and/or the submerged combustion nozzle can be provided (the submerged combustion nozzle ejects fuel and oxygen, and the amount of oxygen Control is in the state of incomplete combustion of the fuel). In addition, the method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment has the following advantages: after the reducing slag stays in the settling chamber for a certain period of time, the sedimentation stratification of the dross can be more fully realized, the harmless slag is discharged from the upper part, and the second copper slag is discharged from the lower part. release.

The step of molding. This allows the copper melt to be further cast into a product such as a copper anode plate.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a copper smelting system, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, the smelting system comprising a smelting furnace 10, a copper making furnace 20, a CR furnace 30, a first launder and a second stream a tank; wherein the melting furnace 10 is used for smelting copper concentrate to produce a first copper crucible and smelting slag; the melting furnace 10 is provided with a first copper crucible outlet and a smelting slag outlet; and the copper making furnace 20 is provided with a copper crucible inlet, The copper crucible inlet and the first copper crucible outlet are communicated through the first launder, and the copper making furnace 20 is used for copper-making reaction of the first copper crucible to generate anode copper and copper-making slag; the CR furnace 30 is provided with a smelting slag inlet, which is The smelting slag outlet is connected through the second launder for reducting fuming and sedimentation of the smelting slag to recover valuable metals in the smelting slag.

In the above apparatus, the copper ore can be smelted by the melting furnace 10 to obtain a first copper crucible and a smelting slag. After the smelting slag is obtained, the smelting slag can be reduced and smelted and settled by the CR furnace 30, and the valuable metals in the smelting slag such as metal zinc, lead, bismuth, and the like can be recovered. This effectively solves the problem of waste of valuable metals in the existing copper smelting process, and avoids the pollution of these metals to the environment; on the other hand, the reduction smelting and sedimentation of the smelting slag replaces the original slag. The beneficiation process not only greatly reduces the factory floor space, but also makes the process more simple. It also fundamentally eliminates the pollution caused by the beneficiation agent added in the slag beneficiation process. At the same time, it should be noted that in the copper smelting apparatus of the present invention, the CR furnace 30 communicates with the slag end of the melting furnace 10, and the copper making furnace 20 communicates with the copper rim end of the melting furnace 10. After the copper ore is smelted to obtain the first copper crucible and the smelting slag, the first copper crucible is subjected to a copper-making reaction to form a higher-grade anode copper, and on the other hand, the molten slag produced in the smelting process is obtained. The recycling process, that is, the use of a pick-up copper smelting device, greatly shortens the steps of copper smelting, and has a good industrialized large-scale application prospect.

In a preferred embodiment, the CR furnaces 30 are a plurality of units arranged in parallel or in series. Thus, the plurality of CR furnaces 30 can produce the second copper crucible, the valuable metal, and the water-damaged harmless slag by continuous operation or alternate operation, thereby improving the processing efficiency. Of course, it is also possible to use a plurality of CR furnaces 30 to treat the smelting slag in series to further improve the treatment effect. I will not repeat them here.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the copper making furnace 20 is a plurality of tubes arranged in parallel. This also improves the capabilities of the device.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the copper making furnace 20 is two in parallel, and the CR furnace is one; or

In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the copper making furnace 20 is one, and the CR furnace is two in parallel; or

In still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 6, two copper-making furnaces 20 are arranged in parallel, and the CR furnaces are also two disposed in parallel.

In a preferred embodiment, the CR furnace 30 includes a cavity including a reduced reduction smoulding chamber 31 and a settling chamber 32, and the reducing smoulding chamber 31 is in communication with the smelting slag outlet for reducing the smelting slag. In the smoulding treatment, the reducing smog chamber 31 is provided with a flue gas outlet, and the settling chamber 32 is connected with the reducing smoating chamber 31 for sedimentation treatment of the reducing slag after the reduction and the smoulding treatment, and the settling chamber 32 is provided with a first The second copper crucible outlet and the slag discharge port (shown in FIG. 3); or, the CR furnace 30 includes a cavity including a reduced reduction smoulding chamber 31 and a settling chamber 32, and the settling chamber 32 communicates with the smelting slag outlet. It is used for sedimentation treatment of the smelting slag, and the sedimentation chamber 32 is provided with a second copper sputum outlet, and the reduction smoulding chamber 31 is connected with the sedimentation chamber 32 for reducing and smoulding the sedimentation slag after the settlement treatment, and reducing the smoke The chemistry chamber 31 is provided with a flue gas outlet and a slag discharge port.

Thus, the CR furnace 30 provided by the present invention is an integrated device, which includes a reducing flue gas chamber 31 and a settling chamber 32, and a connection relationship between the reduction flue gas chamber 31 and the sedimentation chamber 32, which can be determined to reduce the flue gas. , post-settling; or settle first, then reduce the fuming.

When the reduction smoulding chamber 31 is in communication with the smelting slag outlet and the settling chamber 32 is in communication with the reducing smoulding chamber 31, the smelting slag can be first subjected to reduction and smouldering treatment, and then subjected to sedimentation treatment. When the smelting slag is subjected to reduction and smelting treatment, the magnetic iron (ferric oxide) in the smelting slag can be reduced to ferrous oxide for slag formation, which can reduce the viscosity of the smelting slag and thereby improve the subsequent sedimentation separation effect. It is convenient to separate the second copper crucible from the reducing slag. At the same time, after the valuable metal oxides such as zinc, lead and antimony are reduced to metal, they are separated into valuable metal fumes due to their volatility, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering valuable metals. After the reduction smoulding treatment, the obtained reducing slag (flowing dynamics) enters the sedimentation chamber for sedimentation separation, and further obtains the second copper ruthenium and the harmless slag. More importantly, with integrated equipment, the smelting slag after reduction and smoulding treatment directly enters the sedimentation separation, which can greatly improve the treatment efficiency; on the other hand, the reducing slag directly enters the sedimentation treatment, and can maintain a more stable flow state. In the process, there is only a slight temperature change or even no temperature change. The two reasons make it have better sedimentation effect, which can further improve the recovery rate of the second copper matte.

When the reduction smoulding chamber 31 is in communication with the smelting slag outlet and the settling chamber 32 is in communication with the reducing smoulding chamber 31, the smelting slag can be first subjected to sedimentation treatment and then subjected to reduction smoulding treatment. In this way, the copper ruthenium in the smelting slag can be separated first, and then the reduction smoulding treatment stage can be further carried out to further recover valuable metals such as zinc, lead and bismuth therein. It should be noted that the present invention more preferably adopts a method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment, compared to the manner of reducing the fuming treatment after the sedimentation. For the method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment, the advantage is that the higher the sedimentation separation temperature, the better the separation effect. The temperature required for the reduction of flue gas is very high (1200 to 1400 ° C). Therefore, the temperature of the material after the first reduction of flue gas is high, and separation can be achieved in the sedimentation stage without additional heating. Of course, this method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment can also replenish the sedimentation treatment. However, the method of reducing the flue gas after sedimentation and separation is inevitably required to replenish heat during the sedimentation process. The specific heating method can be as follows: the electrode can be heated or insulated in the settling section (for example, 3 to 6 electrodes can be set), and/or the submerged combustion nozzle can be provided (the submerged combustion nozzle ejects fuel and oxygen, and the amount of oxygen Control is in the state of incomplete combustion of the fuel). In addition, the method of first reducing the post-smoothing sedimentation treatment has the following advantages: after the reducing slag stays in the settling chamber for a certain period of time, the sedimentation stratification of the dross can be more fully realized, the harmless slag is discharged from the upper part, and the second copper slag is discharged from the lower part. release.
