Problems solved by technology

Alkaline leaching of low-grade zinc oxide ore is directly carried out with sodium hydroxide or ammonia water. Although the process requirements for beneficiation and rotary kiln redox volatilization and enrichment are avoided, the alkaline leaching rate of zinc is low, and the recovery rate of zinc is only 70-80%. , the alkali consumption is large, and the obtained zinc products are mainly zinc powder or small broken zinc pieces, and the casting rate is low
Production costs are high, and alkaline leaching solutions containing silicates are not easy to handle after zinc extraction
Although the hydrometallurgy of zinc oxide materials is superior to pyrometallurgy, for low-grade zinc oxide ore, the process is long, the amount of three wastes (waste residue, waste water, waste gas) is large, and the cost of environmental protection treatment is high

Abstract

The invention provides a vacuum smelting method of zinc oxide ore. The vacuum smelting method comprises the steps of mounting vacuum microwave smelting equipment and conducting smelting operation. Byutilizing the characteristics that the melting boiling point of metal zinc in a vacuum state is greatly reduced and a zinc oxide material can absorb microwave radiation to produce instantaneous high temperature and catalyze reduction reaction of zinc oxide after mixing carbon powder, the method reduces the reduction smelting temperature of zinc oxide and can uniformly do the reduction reaction from the inner part of a granulating briquette together inside and outside, and no heat conduction process exists. Meanwhile, when microwaves radiate in a vacuum, no energy loss exists, and the microwaves can be quickly absorbed by zinc oxide particles. Thus, the method can perform low-energy high-efficiency smelting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and in particular relates to a vacuum smelting method of zinc oxide ore. Background technique [0002] At present, there are two smelting methods and technologies for zinc oxide materials: pyro-smelting and hydro-smelting. Pyrometallurgical smelting mainly includes reduction smelting in electric furnace, reduction smelting in horizontal tank and vertical tank, and reduction smelting in climbing furnace or gossip furnace for pottery clay shells. Reduction smelting using electric arc, coal gas, natural gas, and coal as heating energy. Due to external heating, there is a gradient in heat conduction, low heat utilization rate, high energy consumption, and when the temperature is below 1000 ℃, it is easy to form silica glass on the surface of the material to wrap the material, and the recovery rate of zinc smelting is low. In order to improve the recovery rate, the smelting temperature must be in...
