Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a device and method for enriching iron components from converter steel slag in cooperation with nickel slag / copper slag. BACKGROUND

[0002] Iron-rich nickel slag / copper slag is a typical acid slag, and the main occurrence form of iron is fayalite Fe2SiO4. The kinetic rate of Fe2SiO4 directly converting into magnetite Fe3O4 or elemental iron Fe is slow. Therefore, the main idea of iron component enrichment and recovery is to add an alkaline modifier such as quicklime CaO to the slag, and then enrich Fe2SiO4 into Fe3O4 in an oxidizing atmosphere, or enrich Fe2SiO4 into Fe element through a reducing agent, and finally recover the enriched iron components through magnetic separation.

[0003] Chinese patent CN104988302A discloses a method for efficiently recovering iron resources from nickel slag, which is to modify the molten iron-rich nickel slag with quicklime or limestone, and then perform oxidation treatment. After the oxidized nickel slag is water-quenched and cooled, it is crushed and magnetically separated to obtain magnetite.

[0004] Chinese patent CN201910708193 discloses a method for modifying and extracting iron from molten copper slag and preparing ceramics from the tail slag thereof, which is to add 0.1-10% of Na2CO3, N2O or other alkali metal oxide modifiers to molten copper slag at 1500°C, and at the same time, spray a small amount of air to form magnetite. After the oxidized copper slag is cooled under certain conditions, it is crushed and magnetically separated to obtain iron powder.

[0005] The above methods have achieved efficient recovery of iron resources from iron-rich nickel slag and iron-rich copper slag, respectively, and have high economic and social benefits. However, they all need to add alkali metal oxides to promote the rapid migration of Fe2SiO4 in iron-rich nickel slag / copper slag to Fe3O4 in an oxidizing atmosphere. Compared with each other, Na2CO3, N2O and other alkali metal oxides are expensive, and their cost performance is not high for industrial use. Quicklime CaO is the most inexpensive alkali metal oxide, but industrial quicklime CaO also needs to be prepared by calcining limestone in a rotary kiln at high temperature. China is one of the countries with abundant limestone resources in the world, but since limestone is a non-renewable natural mineral and is widely used in many fields such as construction, metallurgy, chemical industry, papermaking and coating, it is necessary to seek alternative alkaline modifiers for green metallurgy.

[0006] In addition, the prior art is all laboratory research results, taking CaO as the alkaline modifier and taking the muffle furnace in the laboratory as the heat source, the mixture is reheated to the temperature of the iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag or even higher temperature in the muffle furnace, and then the temperature is kept and the process of oxidation / reduction and other iron component enrichment is carried out. The industrialization conversion and application of these research results are affected to some extent due to the disconnection between the process and equipment of industrial production. The temperature of the molten iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag produced in industry is in the range of 1200-1450℃, and the addition of alkaline modifier or long-time oxidation / reduction treatment will cause temperature drop, which is easy to reduce the temperature of the molten slag to below the melting point, thereby solidifying. Therefore, the industrialized disposal of iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag must have a specific device to provide continuous and stable heat to complete the oxidation / reduction process of the iron component in the slag, so as to realize the effective enrichment of the iron component. SUMMARY

[0082] Step S2, after the ladle 2 containing the molten iron-rich nickel slag / copper slag 11 is stabilized on the ladle car 1, the ladle car 1 is stably transported and accurately parked at the LF furnace working position;

[0083] Step S3, the external air pipe 4 joint is connected with the air brick 3 at the bottom of the ladle 2, and a certain flow and pressure of oxygen 13 is introduced;

[0089] Step S9, after the end of the mixed slag oxidation, air cooling is carried out, the cooled oxidation slag is broken to a certain particle size, and magnetic separation is carried out in a magnetic separator with a certain magnetic field strength; the selected magnetic part is magnetite 16, and the non-magnetic part is silicate tailings 17.

[0090] Further, in the step S1, during the tapping of the iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag 11, the liquid level of the molten iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag 11 in the ladle 2 is not more than 60% ± 10% of the height of the ladle 2; the ladle cover 5 is in a preheated state.

[0091] Further, in the step S2, the transportation of the ladle 2 to the LF furnace station can be by rail transportation or by crane hoisting; the weight of the iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag 11 can be calculated by weighing the ladle 2 with the crane: the weight of the iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag 11 = the weight of the ladle 2 after pouring the iron-nickel-rich slag / copper slag 11 - the weight of the ladle 2.

[0103] Embodiment 3

[0104] Based on the above embodiments 1-2, the present embodiment mainly introduces a first optimization of the use method of the device for online enrichment of iron components by converter slag in cooperation with iron-nickel-rich slag.

[0105] Step S1, first, about 30 tons of 1350℃ molten iron-nickel-rich slag is discharged into the ladle 2 on the ladle car 1, and then the ladle 2 is smoothly transported to the LF furnace station after being covered with the ladle cover 5;

[0106] Step S2, oxygen 13 with a flow rate of 600 L / min and a pressure of 0.6 MPa is introduced into the molten iron-nickel-rich slag through the air brick 3 connected by the external air pipe 4; after the ladle cover 5 is lifted by the crown block, about 10 tons of converter slag 14 with a particle size of ≤10 mm is uniformly poured into the ladle 2 containing the molten iron-nickel-rich slag by the slag bucket 15;

Figure 8As shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that magnetite (Fe3O4) has become the main iron-containing phase in the oxidized slag, while the non-iron components Ca, Mg and Si are mainly restructured into pyroxene phase (Ca(Mg, Fe)Si2O6 and Ca(Mg, Al)(Si, Al)2O6). Among them, magnetite is a magnetic mineral, while pyroxene is a non-magnetic mineral, so they can be separated by conventional crushing and magnetic separation. Magnetite can be used for steel smelting or preparation of functional materials (such as wave-absorbing materials, sewage treatment agents, etc.), while the pyroxene phase can be used as a raw material for preparing microcrystalline glass, ceramics and other inorganic non-metallic materials.
