Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of environmental protection technologies, and particularly relates to a blast furnace recovery smelting device and method for lead-containing materials. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to the rapid development of automobiles and electric vehicles, the amount of waste batteries has increased sharply. In addition to some plastic casings, waste batteries mainly contain lead metal and lead sulfate waste liquid. Since lead is a heavy metal, battery waste belongs to hazardous waste. Currently, there are problems in flue gas treatment for all existing lead-containing hazardous waste treatment technologies. This is because the low-temperature vapor pressure of lead is very high, so it is difficult for the heavy metals in the flue gas to meet the standards. In particular, the treatment of lead sulfate waste liquid is almost a lead smelting process, and it is difficult to control the process pollution and the energy consumption is also high. Therefore, in order to solve environmental protection problems, it is urgent to develop an environmentally friendly lead-containing material smelting technology. Summary of the Invention

[0021] A blast furnace recovery smelting method for lead-containing materials, adopting the above blast furnace recovery smelting equipment for lead-containing materials, the method comprises the following steps:

[0022] Step 1, pretreatment:

[0023] The waste storage batteries are disassembled, and the large lead plates are subjected to plate pretreatment in the waste storage battery plate processing system (25). The large lead plates are cut into small pieces convenient for feeding to obtain pretreated plate materials; the waste liquid in the waste storage batteries is composed of lead sulfate, sulfuric acid and water. The waste liquid is pretreated in the waste storage battery waste liquid processing system (27). The waste liquid is mixed with lime powder to form a mixed solid of calcium sulfate, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide and lead sulfate. Then the mixed solid is subjected to crushing treatment in the waste storage battery waste liquid dry matter crushing system (26), and the crushing particle size is ≤80 meshes to obtain pretreated powder.

[0024] Step 2, feeding:

[0025] The pre-treated plate material is added into the blast furnace 1 through the feeding port 7 by the feeding system; the pre-treated powder is added into the powder storage tank 2 through a pipeline, and the gas transmission system of the powder storage tank 2 transports the pre-treated powder into the mixer 3 through a pipeline for mixing, and then it is sprayed into the pulverized coal distributor 4 together with the injection fuel, distributed by the pulverized coal distributor 4 to the pulverized coal guns, and finally sprayed into the blast furnace 1 through the furnace wall injection feeding hole 9;

[0026] Step 3, smelting:

[0027] Normal iron smelting is carried out in the blast furnace 1. The smelting burden is sinter, pellet, porous coke and smelting solvent. The molten iron temperature at the bottom of the blast furnace is 1400 - 1500 °C. In the pulverized coal injection tuyere area, that is, the furnace wall injection feeding hole 9 area, the temperature is 1800 - 2300 °C. The furnace top exhaust gas temperature is 150 - 250 °C. The inside of the furnace is a reducing atmosphere;

[0028] (1) The metallic lead in the plate material added through the feeding port 7 starts to melt at 327 °C, flows through the burden towards the lower part of the furnace, and sinks to the furnace bottom; at the same time, a small amount of lead vaporizes at high temperature and rises during the downward flow. The lead vapor is adsorbed by multiple layers of porous coke and sinter during the upward process, or is cooled and solidified on the surface of the burden by the low-temperature burden, and then descends with the burden. After descending, the temperature rises, and the lead is vaporized again. Finally, it reaches equilibrium in different temperature regions. The lead-containing flue gas in the 800 - 650 °C temperature zone in the blast furnace 1 is led out through the furnace wall air extraction hole 10 and enters the lower annular flue 5;

[0029] (2) The lead sulfate in the mixed powder sprayed into the blast furnace 1 decomposes rapidly into sulfur oxide and lead oxide at a temperature above 1800 °C. Immediately afterwards, the lead oxide becomes gaseous and is reduced to metallic lead by carbon monoxide and carbon. The metallic lead is immediately vaporized. After the lead vapor rises, it condenses into liquid lead when it encounters the low-temperature burden, and then flows downward and sinks to the furnace bottom; the sulfur oxide is reduced to hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide and discharged out of the furnace with the furnace gas, captured and removed by the coal gas desulfurization link, or absorbed by the molten iron to increase the sulfur content of the molten iron; the calcium sulfate in the mixed powder enters the furnace slag; the calcium hydroxide in the mixed powder decomposes into water and calcium oxide. The calcium oxide drips into the bottom molten pool with the iron in the softening and melting zone and is captured by the furnace slag to become a slag-making material;

[0030] Step 4, recovery:

[0031] Start the lead recovery system I 12 or the lead recovery system II 13 of the furnace gas. First, connect the nitrogen purger 16 to the high-pressure nitrogen source, and open the nitrogen valve I 16.1 or the nitrogen valve II 16.2. Open the bleed valve I 12.3 or the bleed valve II 13.3 to inject nitrogen into the lead recovery system I 12 or the lead recovery system II 13 of the furnace gas to displace the air with nitrogen. Then start the blower I 14 or the blower II 15. After that, open the first flue gas outlet valve I 21 and the second flue gas outlet valve I 22, or open the first flue gas outlet valve II 23 and the second flue gas outlet valve II 24. Finally, gradually open the first flue gas inlet valve I 17 and the second flue gas inlet valve I 18, or gradually open the first flue gas inlet valve II 19 and the second flue gas inlet valve II 20. By controlling the flue gas inlet valve, control the flue gas extraction volume at 20 - 30%. The extracted flue gas enters the lead recovery system I 12 or the lead recovery system II 13 of the furnace gas through the pipeline, and is cooled down to capture lead, zinc, cadmium, light metal oxides and salts. The cooled lead liquid, zinc, cadmium, light metal oxides and salts flow into the lead collection tank I 12.2 or the lead collection tank II 13.2. The unliquefied flue gas in the lead recovery system I 12 or the lead recovery system II 13 of the furnace gas enters the upper annular flue 6 through the pipeline and is led back to the blast furnace 1 through the gas return holes 11 in the furnace wall.

[0032] In the above method, the air pressure of the flue gas extracted from the gas extraction hole 10 in the furnace wall after being reduced by the pipeline resistance and the resistance of the lead recovery system of the furnace gas is greater than the air pressure of the flue gas in the furnace at the gas return hole 11 in the furnace wall.

[0033] In the above method, the cooling of the lead recovery system I 12 and the lead recovery system II 13 of the furnace gas adopts tube - type or plate - type heat exchange.

[0034] In the above method, the cooling medium for the cooling of the lead recovery system I 12 and the lead recovery system II 13 of the furnace gas adopts air cooling, and the air source is provided by the blower I 14 or the blower II 15.

[0035] A blast furnace recovery smelting device and method for lead - containing materials of the present invention, compared with the prior art, have the following beneficial effects:

[0036] First, there is a small amount of lead in normal iron - making furnace materials, and some lead is deposited at the bottom of the furnace. Therefore, the lead in the molten iron is basically in a saturated state. The blast furnace lead recovery smelting method of the present invention will not cause lead loss and can increase the lead recovery amount.

[0037] Second, the waste liquid in the storage battery is mainly lead sulfate, sulfuric acid and water. The present invention mixes the waste liquid with lime powder. Calcium oxide in the lime powder reacts with sulfuric acid in the waste liquid to form calcium sulfate, and water in the waste liquid reacts with calcium oxide to form calcium hydroxide, making it a dry mixture of lead sulfate, calcium sulfate, calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide, and pulverizing it into powder for easy feeding to maintain a stable blast furnace smelting environment.

[0038] III. Due to the addition of lead sulfate and calcium sulfate, part of the sulfur is absorbed by the molten iron and enters the molten iron, increasing the sulfur content of the molten iron. Therefore, the sulfur content of the molten iron produced by the method of the present invention is relatively high, and the produced molten iron can be used for the production of castings with low sulfur requirements.

[0039] IV. Since the temperature at the top of the blast furnace is relatively low, generally not exceeding 250 °C, the vapor pressure of lead is almost zero at this temperature. The present invention completes the extraction of flue gas and the recovery of lead treatment in the middle of the blast furnace. Therefore, the vapor pressure of lead in the upper part of the blast furnace is in an unsaturated state. In addition, there are more active metals such as zinc and cadmium than lead in the furnace. Therefore, lead oxide will not be generated. In actual operation, lead is hardly detected in the gas, ensuring the normal operation of the blast furnace.

[0040] V. Since the lead sulfate injected into the furnace is decomposed into gaseous substances and has no chance to enter the slag, lead will not cause excessive lead emissions in the blast furnace slag. In actual operation, no increase in the lead content of the slag has been found, ensuring the harmlessness of the slag.

[0041] VI. The way of extracting flue gas of the equipment of the present invention is to open a plurality of air extraction holes around the blast furnace wall. The more holes are opened, the better the lead removal effect and the less impact on the operation of the blast furnace. The specific number of holes opened is determined according to the size and cost of the equipment, and the design is flexible.

[0042] VII. The present invention adopts two sets of furnace gas lead recovery systems, one for use and one for standby, and they are used alternately to prevent equipment failure and facilitate continuous production.

[0043] VIII. The equipment of the present invention recovers lead by relying on the iron-making process, rather than a dedicated lead production equipment, and there is no requirement for the recovery rate. Therefore, when the permeability of the furnace charge can be ensured, the temperature drop of the gas can be minimized as much as possible to reduce heat loss. When the permeability of the blast furnace becomes poor, more furnace gas needs to be extracted to accelerate the reduction of the lead vapor pressure in the furnace. When the permeability of the blast furnace is normal, less furnace gas can be extracted. It can be flexibly adjusted to save operating costs.

[0044] IX. While smelting iron and steel, the present invention also recovers and treats waste batteries, killing two birds with one stone. And it will not cause lead pollution to the gas and slag, and the lead content of the molten iron does not increase. Therefore, the invention is a very good process whether considering the metal yield or the pollutant emissions, and the energy consumption is also very low. The present invention has no risk of secondary pollution, and the lead emissions are almost zero; the transformation of the existing iron-making blast furnace has less investment and low operating costs; no waste is generated.

[0045] X. While recovering lead, the present invention also recovers some low-temperature vaporizable metals such as zinc and cadmium, and can also remove part of the light metal oxides and salts, which is of great significance for improving the permeability of the blast furnace, improving the reaction activity of materials, reducing the system resistance, and increasing the smelting intensity.

[0046] XI. The present invention can solve the problem of affecting the air permeability of materials in the smelting of high-lead ores and high-lead waste materials. Therefore, this equipment is also applicable to the smelting of other high-lead materials and can also be used as a lead smelting equipment.

[0047] XII. The present invention can solve the problem of the enrichment paste of light metal oxides blocking the furnace charge in blast furnace smelting. Therefore, this equipment and method are applicable to the treatment of iron-containing waste materials in hydrometallurgy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0076] (1) The metallic lead in the plate materials added through the feed inlet 7 starts to melt at 327°C, flows through the charge towards the lower part of the furnace, and sinks to the furnace bottom; at the same time, a small amount of lead vaporizes at high temperature and rises during the downward flow. The lead vapor is adsorbed by the porous coke and sinter in multiple layers during the upward process, or is cooled and solidified on the surface of the charge by the low-temperature charge, and then descends with the charge. After descending, the temperature rises, and the lead is vaporized again. Finally, it reaches equilibrium in different temperature regions. The lead-containing flue gas in the 800~650°C temperature zone in the blast furnace 1 is led out through the furnace wall air inlet hole 10 and enters the lower annular flue 5.

[0077] (2)The lead sulfate in the mixed powder injected into the blast furnace 1 rapidly decomposes into sulfur oxide and lead oxide at temperatures above 1800 °C. Immediately afterwards, the lead oxide becomes gaseous and is reduced to metallic lead by carbon monoxide and carbon. The metallic lead is then vaporized immediately. After the lead vapor rises, it condenses into liquid lead when it encounters the low-temperature burden, and then flows downward and sinks to the bottom of the furnace; the sulfur oxide is reduced to hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide and discharged out of the furnace with the furnace gas, and is captured and removed in the gas desulfurization section, or absorbed by the hot metal, increasing the sulfur content of the hot metal; the calcium sulfate in the mixed powder enters the furnace slag; the calcium hydroxide in the mixed powder decomposes into water and calcium oxide, and the calcium oxide enters the bottom molten pool with the iron dripping from the softening and melting zone and is captured by the furnace slag to become a slag-making material;

[0078] Step 4, recovery:

[0079] The furnace gas lead recovery system I 12 is used for lead recovery. First, connect the nitrogen sweeper 16 to the high-pressure nitrogen source, open the nitrogen valve I 16.1, and open the blow-off valve I 12.3 to inject nitrogen into the furnace gas lead recovery system I 12 to displace the air with nitrogen; then start the blower I 14; then open the first flue gas outlet valve I 21 and the second flue gas outlet valve I 22, and finally gradually open the first flue gas inlet valve I 17 and the second flue gas inlet valve I 18, and control the amount of flue gas drawn out at 20 - 30% by controlling the inlet flue gas valve; the drawn flue gas enters the furnace gas lead recovery system I 12 through the pipeline to cool down and capture lead, zinc, cadmium, light metal oxides and salts, and the cooled lead liquid, zinc, cadmium, light metal oxides and salts flow into the lead collection tank I 12.2; the unliquefied flue gas in the furnace gas lead recovery system I 12 enters the upper annular flue 6 through the pipeline and is led back to the blast furnace 1 through the furnace wall return air holes 11; the air pressure of the flue gas drawn out at the furnace wall air intake hole 10 after being reduced by the pipeline resistance and the resistance of the furnace gas lead recovery system is greater than the air pressure of the flue gas in the furnace at the furnace wall return air hole 11.

[0080] In the above method, the lead collector I 12.1 adopts plate heat exchange.

[0081] In the above method, the medium for cooling is air cooling, and the air source is provided by the blower I 14.

[0082] In this embodiment, the pretreated plate material is evenly added with the blast furnace burden, and the coke ratio is calculated and adjusted according to the added amount. It is adjusted by increasing the coke ratio by 45 kg per ton of lead; the coke ratio of the burden is first increased by 150 kg of coke per ton of powder, and fine-tuning is performed according to the furnace temperature change during the operation. In this case, the actual increased coke ratio is 120 kg / ton of powder.

[0083] After the equipment in this embodiment runs for 4 - 5 hours, open the discharge valve of the furnace gas lead recovery system I to discharge lead for the first time, and then discharge lead regularly according to the lead collection speed and the volume of the lead collection tank; perform the first lead discharge at the bottom of the blast furnace after the equipment runs for 8 hours, and then discharge lead one to two times a day, which is determined according to the amount of lead-containing materials input for smelting.

[0084] The lead discharge port of the furnace gas lead recovery system I becomes blocked once every two months of operation. The operation of the furnace gas lead recovery system I is stopped and repaired. At the same time, the furnace gas lead recovery system II is started for recovery, without delaying continuous production.

[0085] According to the input-output measurement for two months, the total lead recovery rate of the lead recovered by the upper lead collector and the lead discharged from the lead discharge port at the bottom of the blast furnace is above 99%. The crude lead collected by the deleading equipment contains some zinc and cadmium metals, and the three metals are separated during refining.

[0086] During the four-month operation of the equipment, except for the blockage of the lead discharge port of the furnace gas deleading equipment once, no problems occurred, the operation was normal, and the air permeability of the furnace charge was not affected by the treatment of lead waste. The deleading system discharges a maximum of 5 tons of lead per day. When no lead is discharged, the air permeability of the furnace charge becomes poor, and the air permeability of the furnace charge improves quickly after lead is discharged. No lead component has been found in the blast furnace gas, and there is no change in the lead concentration in the slag.

[0087] During the operation of the blast furnace in this embodiment, the maximum daily dosage of the mixed powder injection is 55 tons, and the maximum amount of plate waste added from the furnace top is 100 tons.

6. A blast furnace recovery smelting method for lead-containing materials, using the blast furnace recovery smelting equipment for lead-containing materials according to any one of claims 1 to 5, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1, pretreatment: The waste storage battery is disassembled, and the large lead plates are subjected to plate pretreatment in the waste storage battery plate treatment system (25). The large lead plates are cut into small pieces convenient for feeding to obtain pretreated plate materials. The waste liquid in the waste storage battery is composed of lead sulfate, sulfuric acid and water. The waste liquid is pretreated in the waste storage battery waste liquid treatment system (27). The waste liquid is mixed with lime powder to form a mixed solid of calcium sulfate, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide and lead sulfate. Then the mixed solid is subjected to crushing treatment in the waste storage battery waste liquid dry matter crushing system (26), and the crushing particle size is ≤80 mesh to obtain pretreated powder. Step 2, feeding: The pretreated plate materials are added into the blast furnace (1) through the feeding port (7) via the feeding system; the pretreated powder is added into the powder storage tank (2) through a pipeline. The gas transmission system of the powder storage tank (2) transports the pretreated powder to the mixer (3) through a pipeline for mixing, and then it is sprayed into the coal injection distributor (4) together with the injected fuel. After being distributed by the coal injection distributor (4) to the coal injection lance, it is finally sprayed into the blast furnace (1) through the furnace wall injection feed hole (9). Step 3, smelting: Normal iron smelting is carried out in the blast furnace (1). The smelting burden is sinter, pellet, porous coke and smelting solvent. The molten iron temperature at the bottom of the blast furnace is 1400~1500°C. In the coal injection tuyere area, that is, the area of the furnace wall injection feed hole (9), the temperature is 1800~2300°C, and the furnace top smoke exhaust temperature is 150~250°C. The atmosphere inside the furnace is a reducing atmosphere. (a) The metallic lead in the plate materials added through the feeding port (7) starts to melt at 327°C, flows through the burden towards the lower part of the furnace, and sinks to the furnace bottom; at the same time, a small amount of lead will vaporize at high temperature and rise during the downward flow. The lead vapor is adsorbed by the porous coke and sinter in multiple layers during the upward process, or is cooled and solidified on the surface of the burden by the low-temperature burden, and then descends with the burden. After descending, the temperature rises, and the lead is vaporized again. Finally, it reaches equilibrium in different temperature regions. The lead-containing flue gas in the 800~650°C temperature zone inside the blast furnace (1) is led out through the furnace wall air intake hole (10) and enters the lower annular flue (5). (b) The lead sulfate in the mixed powder sprayed into the blast furnace (1) rapidly decomposes into sulfur oxide and lead oxide at a temperature above 1800°C. Immediately afterwards, the lead oxide becomes gaseous and is reduced to metallic lead by carbon monoxide and carbon. The metallic lead is immediately vaporized. After the lead vapor rises, it condenses into liquid lead when it encounters the low-temperature burden, and then flows downward and sinks to the furnace bottom; the sulfur oxide is reduced to hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide and discharged out of the furnace with the furnace gas, and is captured and removed by the gas desulfurization link, or is absorbed by the molten iron to increase the sulfur content of the molten iron; the calcium sulfate in the mixed powder enters the furnace slag; the calcium hydroxide in the mixed powder decomposes into water and calcium oxide. The calcium oxide drips into the bottom molten pool with the molten iron in the softening-melting zone and is captured by the furnace slag to become a slag-making material. Step 4, recovery: Start the furnace gas lead recovery system I (12) or the furnace gas lead recovery system II (13). First, connect the nitrogen purge device (16) to the high-pressure nitrogen source, open the nitrogen valve I (16.1) or the nitrogen valve II (16.2), open the vent valve I (12.3) or the vent valve II (13.3), and inject nitrogen into the furnace gas lead recovery system I (12) or the furnace gas lead recovery system II (13) to replace the air with nitrogen; then start the blower I (14) or the blower II (15); then open the first smoke outlet valve I (21), the second smoke outlet valve I (22), or open the first smoke outlet valve II (23), the second smoke outlet valve II (24), and finally gradually open the first smoke inlet valve I (17), the inlet valve I (18), the second smoke outlet valve I (29), and the second smoke outlet valve II (21). The second smoke inlet valve I (18) or the first smoke inlet valve II (19) and the second smoke inlet valve II (20) are gradually opened, and the smoke inlet valve is controlled to control the smoke extraction volume at 20-30%; the extracted smoke enters the furnace gas lead recovery system I (12) or the furnace gas lead recovery system II (13) through a pipeline, and is cooled to capture lead, zinc, cadmium, light metal oxides and salts.
