The invention belongs to the technical field of dezincification rotary kilns, and particularly relates to a method for prolonging the ring forming period in a dezincification
rotary kiln. The total content of total iron, SiO2 and CaO in the
zinc-containing dust and mud mixture is controlled within 50% of the total
mass of the
zinc-containing dust and mud mixture, and the
mass ratio of the total iron to the SiO2 to the CaO is (3-4.8): (1-1.5): 1; and controlling the standard deviation of total iron, the standard deviation of SiO2 and the standard deviation of CaO in the
zinc-containing dust and mud mixture to be within a set threshold value. By adopting the method disclosed by the invention, a large amount of
fayalite and
hematite can be prevented from being generated when the zinc-containing dust and mud mixture is treated, so that ring formation in the
rotary kiln is prevented, the ring formation period of the dezincification
rotary kiln is further prolonged, the ring formation period of the dezincification rotary
kiln for treating the zinc-containing dust and mud mixture is prolonged to 11-12 months from 3-6 months, and the yield of the dezincification rotary
kiln is improved. The influence on production is reduced, the operation rate is improved, and meanwhile the production cost of the rotary
kiln is reduced.
