The invention discloses a method for extracting
zinc oxide from iron-
smelting blast furnace fly ash. Compared with the commonly used
rotary furnace process at present, the method has the following advantages that 1, the used
fly ash index is wide: the
iron content required by the
fly ash used by the
rotary furnace process is below 20% and the
zinc content is above 20%, and
iron content required by the fly ash used by the method is not limited and the
zinc content is above 6%; 2, fuel addition is not required: 0.45
ton of
anthracite or 0.35
ton of
coke powder is required to be added in each
ton of fly ash in the
rotary furnace, and the method does not require fuel addition; 3, the operation cycle is long: the operation cycle of the rotary furnace is 60 days and the operation period of the enclosed furnace in the method is longer than one year; 4, the fireproof material in the furnace is low in cost: the high-temperature wear-resistant fireproof
brick used by the rotary furnace costs ** yuan per ton, and the common fireproof
brick used in the enclosed furnace costs ** yuan per ton; and 5, the tailing recycle is convenient: the
tailings of the rotary furnace process flow out in a
liquid state and need to be continuously cooled by water, and contain less iron so that the value in use is low, and the
tailings in the method are discharged in a
solid state, the
tailings with
iron content higher than 50% can be directly used in ironworks and the tailings with iron content lower than 50% can be used in
cement plants.
