Converting process of bottom blowing converting furnace continuous copper smelting

Abstract

The invention provides a converting process for continuous copper smelting by a bottom blowing converting furnace. The process is characterized in that liquid copper matte generated from a bottom blowing smelting furnace passes through a chute to be continuously injected into the oxygen bottom blowing smelting furnace, and oxygenized air is continuously blown in from the bottom part of the converting furnace to continuously convert the copper matte; simultaneously, lime flux or limestone is continuously added from an opening at the top of the converting furnace for slag making by a material bin and a measuring belt feeder according to the required quantity measured, or the top part of the converting furnace is not provided with the opening, the lime flux or the limestone is crushed into powder and fed together with oxygen gas in the furnace for slag making through an oxygen lance by the material bin and the measuring belt feeder; one end of the furnace has an upper part provided with an opening used for discharging smelting slag and a lower part provided with an opening used to be provided with a siphoning installation for discharging coarse copper, thereby realizing continuous addition of the copper matte, continuous converting, continuous addition of the flux, continuous slag making, continuous slag discharge and continuous coarse copper discharge and furthering realizing the continuous converting process.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the following original application: the application date of the original application is October 19, 2006, the application number is 200610113798.6, and the name of the invention is "a process and device for continuous copper smelting using an oxygen bottom blowing furnace" ". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a non-ferrous metal smelting copper smelting method and its device, more specifically, to a continuous copper smelting process using an oxygen bottom blowing furnace and its device, especially to a bottom blowing furnace for continuous copper smelting blowing process.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Although the above two continuous copper smelting processes have solved the environmental protection problems of blowing operations, they still have some shortcomings and need to be further improved:

[0008] The Mitsubishi method consists of four furnaces (smelting furnace, depleted electric furnace, blowing furnace, anode furnace) self-flowing configuration. The melting furnace of the first process needs to be arranged on a higher floor, and the construction cost is relatively high. In addition, the Mitsubishi method’s The slag is diluted by an electric furnace, and the copper content in the waste slag reaches 0.6-0.7%, which is much higher than the average grade of ore mined by most large-scale copper mines in my country, and the resources have not been fully utilized

[0009] The disadvantage of flash furnace continuous blowing is that the copper matte needs to be crushed first, then dried and ground before it can be blown. The process is complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee a 100% recovery rate in each process. mechanical loss

In addition, the liquid high-temperature copper matte is crushed, and its physical heat is almost completely lost. The process of water crushing and solid copper matte, drying and blowing requires an external heat source, and the use of heat energy is unreasonable.

Copper matte crushing requires a large amount of water to wash, plus drying and crushing, additional labor and power consumption, resulting in increased blowing costs, which may be an important reason why this process has not been widely promoted over the years

[0010] In addition, there is also the Noranda continuous blowing method, which is still in the stage of industrial testing.
