Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smelting electric furnaces, and in particular to a closed rotary ferroalloy ore-fired furnace. Background Art

[0002] All electric furnaces that can be sealed based on production characteristics and technical feasibility have been sealed. However, there are still a few products in my country, such as ferroalloys (ferrosilicon, industrial silicon, high-silicon ferrosilicon), which have not been sealed in electric furnaces due to process and technical reasons. It is obvious that unsealed furnaces cause environmental pollution and waste a lot of valuable resources, which is detrimental to both society and enterprises.

[0003] Usually the production process of an electric furnace is: the required raw materials are processed according to the specified particle size, component content, moisture content and other requirements, weighed and mixed according to the specified ingredient ratio, and then sent to the silo on the roof of the electric furnace through a conveyor. The charge is transported to the furnace through the material pipe under the silo, and the charge is reduced in the furnace to produce the required products.

[0004] The production process of a closed electric furnace mainly adds a closed smoke hood to the furnace body. Its function is to prevent the oxygen-containing atmosphere outside the furnace from mixing with the CO gas produced by the reaction inside the furnace. During production, the air pressure inside the closed smoke hood of the electric furnace must be greater than the air pressure outside the furnace, which is a slightly positive pressure state. The charge is input into the furnace through multiple material pipes through the furnace cover. The material pipes must be sealed and insulated when passing through the furnace cover. The gas analysis instrument can clearly know the gas pressure, gas component concentration and content in the furnace. After the electric furnace is closed, there is no operator on the electric furnace platform, and all operations are completed through the automatic operating system to achieve a safe and economical operation mode.

[0005] Ferroalloy smelting electric furnaces are subject to high temperature in the process of smelting and reduction. If the charge is not mixed evenly or the charge is not breathable, the charge surface will be hardened. The consequence is that the electrode is not easy to insert, the electrode is not deep enough, the fire is seriously stepped on, a large amount of reaction gas SiO forming silicon alloy escapes, and the environment is seriously polluted, resulting in a decrease in output, low element content, and increased power consumption. At present, all domestic ferroalloy smelting electric furnaces are semi-closed. In the operation of electric furnaces, there must be a process: that is, the work of manually picking the loose charge surface. Although it can be done by human-operated machinery, the work of picking the loose charge surface under the harsh conditions of the furnace surface is too high, which poses a safety hazard to the workers who pick the furnace. Therefore, the closed production of electric furnaces is particularly important for ferroalloy (ferrosilicon, industrial silicon, silicon calcium) smelting electric furnaces, but solving the problem of hardening of the furnace charge surface in closed production has become a difficult problem.
