TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of non-ferrous metallurgical anode slime treatment system, in particular to an inlet and outlet system of a muffle furnace. BACKGROUND
[0002] Copper (lead) anode slime is a muddy substance attached to the surface of the anode substrate or precipitated in the bottom of the electrolytic cell or suspended in the electrolyte during electrolytic refining. Anode slime treatment can comprehensively recover gold, silver and other precious metals and other valuable metals. The treatment of copper (lead) anode slime generally has three kinds of fire treatment, wet treatment and wet-fire combined treatment. In the fire treatment process, the anode mud slurry is subjected to roasting and selenium evaporation treatment to obtain selenium evaporation residue and selenium evaporation flue gas. Generally, the equipment commonly used for roasting and selenium evaporation treatment is a rotary kiln and a muffle furnace.
[0003] Among them, the roasting process using a rotary kiln has realized automatic feeding and automatic discharging, but due to the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid in the kiln, it is easy to cause serious corrosion of the equipment. The rotary kiln is a rotary movable equipment, and during operation, due to long-term high-temperature baking outside, wear and sealing problems of the equipment may occur, resulting in high maintenance and high failure rate, and short service life.
[0004] The muffle furnace is a static furnace equipment made of refractory bricks, which has low maintenance and stable and reliable equipment. However, before the anode slime is sent into the inner shell of the muffle furnace for roasting, the workers need to manually load the stirred anode slime into the roasting pan first, and then two workers lift the full roasting pan (about 35 kg) onto the trolley for stacking and placing. After roasting is completed, the trolley is first pulled out of the inner shell of the muffle furnace for cooling, and then two workers lift the roasting pan and manually turn it over by 180° on the discharge hopper, and another worker swings a large hammer and hits the bottom of the roasting pan to separate the adhered material from the roasting pan, so that the material can fall into the discharge hopper. The above muffle furnace inlet and outlet are all manual operations, and at least five workers are needed to manually complete the operation, which is labor-intensive, low in production efficiency, and the roasting pan is easily deformed due to uncontrollable manual hammering force, resulting in high scrap rate. In addition, the anode slime is scattered everywhere, the operation site is messy, and a large amount of anode slime is lost. SUMMARY
