Description

Technical Field

[0002] The composite production equipment line for preparing niobium oxide or tantalum oxide by hydrometallurgical tantalum-niobium smelting includes a roasting step. The roasting step uses a tunnel-type heating room. The tunnel-type heating room includes two tunnels arranged along the front-to-back direction, namely a left tunnel and a right tunnel. The left tunnel is on the left side of the right tunnel. It also includes multiple first crucibles, multiple second crucibles and transmission equipment. The transmission equipment drives the first crucible to enter from the rear end of the left tunnel and come out from the front end. The transmission equipment drives the second crucible to enter from the front end of the right tunnel and come out from the rear end. The first crucible, the second crucible and the materials therein are subjected to high-temperature roasting in the tunnel-type heating room.

[0003] The current production equipment has such defects. First, the transmission equipment is set up in the high temperature environment of the tunnel heating room. The transmission equipment uses gears, shafts, ring chains, sprockets, etc., which inevitably have to be made of high-temperature resistant metal materials. Even high-temperature resistant metal materials cannot work normally for a long time at such high temperatures. They will become soft and deformed. Once they fail and cannot be used, they need to stop heating and cool to room temperature for maintenance. They need to be replaced frequently, and the cost of maintenance is very high, which reduces production efficiency. Materials that can withstand high temperatures, such as refractory tiles, are not high enough, hard, brittle, and fragile, and are not suitable for transmission parts. Summary of the invention

[0019] The first second track is located on the left side of the second second track.

[0020] The internal space of the heating room described above is divided into three areas, which are the first buffer zone, the high-temperature roasting zone and the second buffer zone from back to front. The first track passes through the first buffer zone, the high-temperature roasting zone and the second buffer zone from back to front, and the second track passes through the second buffer zone, the high-temperature roasting zone and the first buffer zone from front to back. The second crucible located in the first buffer zone and the material therein release heat, and the temperature decreases. The first crucible located in the first buffer zone and the material therein absorb heat, and the temperature increases, and the two perform heat exchange. The high-temperature roasting zone is provided with a heating device, and the material in the first crucible and the material in the second crucible are heated. The materials on the surface undergo a decomposition reaction when heated and are converted into a mixture of tantalum oxide, niobium oxide and some impurities; the first crucible located in the second buffer zone and the materials therein release heat and the temperature decreases, while the second crucible located in the second buffer zone and the materials therein absorb heat and the temperature increases, and the two perform heat exchange; in this way, the heat released by the crucible coming out of the high-temperature roasting zone and the materials therein is just absorbed by the crucible to be entered into the high-temperature roasting zone and the materials therein, and the waste heat is transferred to each other, which can save a lot of energy; it can also prevent the first crucible or the second crucible from suddenly heating up when entering the high-temperature roasting zone from a low temperature, prevent it from bursting, and avoid shutdown for maintenance.

[0021] An automatic door can be provided at the entrance and exit of the track of the heating room. The automatic door opens automatically when entering or exiting the first crucible or the second crucible, and closes automatically when not entering or exiting the first crucible or the second crucible to prevent the air inside and outside from flowing to each other.

[0022] The middle of the first and second tracks mentioned above passes through the heating room. The first and second tracks are not horizontal, but the front end is low and the rear end is high. The angle between the first and second tracks and the horizontal plane is 5 degrees. The first crucible placed on the first and second tracks will produce a self-locking phenomenon due to the existence of friction. The first crucible will not automatically slide forward. When the first hydraulic cylinder pushes multiple first crucibles forward, the last first crucible will be subjected to a large thrust, the magnitude of which is equal to the sum of all the friction forces of the first crucibles in this row. If the first crucible exceeds its bearing limit, it will be crushed. If the friction force is reduced, the force on the last first crucible can be reduced to prevent it from being squeezed and damaged, thereby avoiding shutdown for maintenance.

[0023] Similarly, the middle of the second track passes through the heating room. The second track is not horizontal, but has a low rear end and a high front end. The angle between the second track and the horizontal plane is 5 degrees, and its working principle is the same as described above.

[0024] A first blower is arranged on the right wall of the first buffer zone described above, and a first air outlet is arranged on the left wall, and the height of the first blower is lower than that of the first air outlet. The first blower blows air to the lower second crucible, and after absorbing heat, the air flows to the first crucible and is then discharged from the first air outlet. The air path flows in one direction, which is beneficial to heat transfer.

[0025] Similarly, a second blower is arranged on the left wall of the second buffer zone, and a second air outlet is arranged on the right wall, and the height of the second blower is lower than that of the second air outlet. The second blower blows air to the lower first crucible, and after absorbing heat, the air flows to the second crucible and is then discharged from the second air outlet. The air path flows in one direction, which is conducive to heat transfer.

[0026] The first crucible or the second crucible mentioned above is made of silicon carbide, because silicon carbide has a very high melting point, the strength of silicon carbide increases with the increase of temperature, and the chemical properties are stable. The preferred variety is silicon carbide ceramic, which has a melting point of 2700°C and an apparent density of about 3.2g / cm3.

[0027] The first second track or the second second track mentioned above is made of Cr20Ni80 or silicon carbide, and the crucible of silicon carbide slides frictionally on the track of Cr20Ni80 or silicon carbide. The sliding system is small and has self-lubricating properties.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in the heating room, a first hydraulic cylinder is used to push a row of first crucibles to move along the first and second tracks, which can avoid installing transmission components made of metal materials in the heating room, avoid fluorine corrosion of metal materials, ensure product quality, improve work reliability, avoid frequent repairs and maintenance, reduce repair and maintenance costs, reduce repair and maintenance time, improve production efficiency, and increase equipment life. The crucibles on the two transmission systems can use each other's waste heat for preheating, save energy, and reduce heat waste. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
