TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of vanadium ore smelting, and particularly relates to a vanadium ore roasting shaft kiln and a roasting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vanadium is an important strategic resource. Vanadium can be added to metals such as steel as a micro-alloying element to improve the strength, hardness and wear resistance of the steel. In the extraction process of vanadium, vanadium ore powder is usually granulated and high-temperature oxidized to destroy the mineral structure of the vanadium ore powder, so that V(IV) and V(V) in the vanadium ore are combined with potassium salt, sodium salt and calcium salt in the mineral to form vanadate and metavanadate that are soluble in sulfuric acid.

[0003] Because the primary vanadium ore contains a large amount of coal and part of organic matter, it has a certain heat value. Therefore, the traditional vanadium extraction process adopts a coal gasification-shaft kiln briquetting roasting process, that is, coal is added in the high-temperature roasting process to realize the roasting of vanadium ore briquettes and to produce coal gas by using the coal. However, this process has the following problems. On the one hand, coal is used as raw material, and the coal consumption is large. On the other hand, because the shaft kiln has a deep hearth and poor air permeability, and the vanadium ore briquettes have a large diameter and high density, air is difficult to penetrate into the shaft kiln, which not only easily causes half-burned material or sintering of the kiln, but also affects the roasting efficiency and conversion rate of the vanadium ore.

[0018] The method for roasting vanadium ore by using the vanadium ore roasting shaft kiln comprises at least the following steps:

[0019] Step 1, sending the vanadium ore particles into the roasting chamber of the shaft kiln;

[0020] Step 2, starting the gas generator, sending the gas into the air preheating cavity, preheating the gas in the air preheating cavity to form preheated gas, and preheating the air or oxygen by the heat emitted by the gas to form preheated air, and then the preheated gas and the preheated air enter the roasting chamber through the air holes on the fire-through bricks;

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0037] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a vertical kiln for roasting vanadium ore.

[0038] Includes a vertical kiln body 2 and a temperature control device 10 for monitoring the temperature of the firing chamber inside the kiln body 2;

[0039] The kiln body 2 includes multiple interconnected kilns.

[0040] The top of the kiln body 2 is provided with a flue gas channel 1, and each group of kilns is provided with a flue gas channel 1 at the top, and an induced draft fan 11 is installed on the flue gas channel 1. The bottom of the kiln is provided with a cooling chamber 9, and a discharge chain plate 4 is installed in the cooling chamber 9. The kiln body 2 is provided with a furnace door 3 near the top wall that communicates with the feeding channel. The input end of the feeding channel is connected to a material distributor. The interior of the kiln between the furnace door 3 and the cooling chamber 9 is a firing chamber.

[0041] The discharge chain plate 4 is a rectangular connecting plate that covers the opening on the cooling chamber 9 and is connected to the cooling chamber 9 by a hinge. The outer side of the kiln body 2 surrounding the firing chamber is wrapped with a heat preservation device. An air preheating chamber 6 is provided on the inner side of the heat preservation device and the outer side of the kiln body 2. The air preheating chamber 6 is connected to the firing chamber through a fire-permeable brick 7.

[0042] The temperature control device 10 is installed inside the roasting chamber and the air preheating chamber 6.

[0043] The air preheating chamber 6 is also connected to the gas output end of the gas generator through a gas pipeline.

[0044] The roasting chamber includes a lower roasting chamber 8 and an upper pre-roasting chamber 5 arranged from bottom to top, and the lower roasting chamber 8 and the upper pre-roasting chamber 5 are separated by an upper furnace bridge 12. The lower roasting chamber 8 and the cooling chamber 9 are separated by a lower furnace bridge 13.

[0045] Furthermore, the fire-permeable brick 7 is a red brick and / or a refractory brick, and the fire-permeable brick 7 is provided with a number of ventilation holes for allowing preheated coal gas to enter the roasting chamber. The ventilation holes are located in the upper part of the lower roasting chamber 8 and the lower part of the upper pre-roasting chamber 5.

[0046] Furthermore, a burner 14 is provided on the outer wall of the air preheating chamber 6, and the gas supply pipe is sleeved on the burner 14. The air preheating chamber 6 is connected to the gas output end of the gas generator through the gas supply pipe on the burner 14.

[0047] The temperature control device 10 is a thermocouple, used to control the temperature of the firing chamber inside the kiln 2;

[0048] Furthermore, the kiln body 2 includes two sets of kilns connected by fire-permeable bricks 7. Both sets of kilns are constructed with a single layer of refractory bricks and concrete. The insulation device is wrapped around the outside of the two sets of kilns. The insulation device includes a metal shell and insulation cotton 15. The insulation cotton 15 is placed between the inner side of the metal shell and the outer side of the air preheating chamber 6.

[0049] Furthermore, adjacent kilns are equipped with air preheating chambers 6.

[0050] A method for roasting vanadium ore using a vertical kiln, the method comprising at least the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: The vanadium ore roasting material is pressed into vanadium ore particles with a moisture content of about 15% and a diameter of 30-40mm by the pelletizing machine and fed into the hopper of the cloth feeder.

[0052] Open furnace door 3, and the feeding conveyor, filled with vanadium ore particles, delivers the vanadium ore particles into the feed channel inside kiln body 2 via a belt conveyor, evenly distributing the vanadium ore particles in the hopper into the roasting chamber; close furnace door 3.

[0053] Step 2: Turn on the gas generator and send gas into the air preheating chamber 6. The gas is preheated in the air preheating chamber 6 to form preheated gas. At the same time, the heat emitted by the gas preheats the air (or oxygen) to form preheated air. The preheated gas and preheated air then enter the roasting chamber through the vent holes on the firebrick 7.

[0054] Step 3: Turn on the induced draft fan 11 to discharge the flue gas in the kiln body 2 to the flue gas treatment system (desulfurization tower spray) through the flue gas passage 1, and maintain the temperature of the firing chamber in the kiln body 2 at 300℃~800℃.

[0055] During the roasting process, the temperature inside the kiln is monitored by the temperature control device 10, and the wind speed and wind pressure of the induced draft fan 11 and the temperature of the gas generated by the gasifier entering the air preheating chamber 6 are adjusted by the temperature control device 10 to control the roasting temperature.

[0056] Vanadium ore particles are roasted in the upper pre-roasting chamber 5 and the lower roasting chamber 8. The temperature in the upper pre-roasting chamber 5 is controlled at 300℃-400℃ for 3-5 hours. The temperature in the lower roasting chamber 8 is controlled at 750℃-850℃ for 3-6 hours. After roasting, the vanadium ore particles in the roasting chamber are unloaded into the cooling chamber 9.

[0057] Step 4: After roasting, open the discharge chain plate 4 to transport the vanadium ore particles in the cooling chamber 9 out of the kiln body 2.

[0058] To maintain the normal operation of the gasifier and induced draft fan 11, start the temperature control device 10. The temperature control device 10 uses thermocouple detection to control the internal combustion of heat.

[0059] The temperature inside the kiln is monitored by the temperature control device 10, and the wind speed and wind pressure of the induced draft fan 11 and the temperature of the gas generated by the gas generator entering the air preheating chamber 6 are adjusted by the temperature control device 10 to ensure that the temperature in the roasting chamber is between 300℃ and 800℃. Steps one, two, five and six are repeated, and so on, until the vanadium ore roasting vertical kiln enters the normal continuous working state.

[0060] It is worth noting that the kiln body 2 utilizes external auxiliary heating from multiple sets of internal combustion furnaces and gas generators to burn vanadium shale oil with a carbon content of 4-9% within the kiln body 2. Since the vanadium ore particles entering the kiln body 2 are 30-40mm in size, particle size segregation occurs due to particle accumulation, forming airflow channels with a certain amount of moisture. This moisture is then introduced into the air preheating chamber 6 via the gas and then into the roasting chamber within the kiln body 2 through the permeable bricks 7. This causes heat to continuously accumulate inside the kiln body 2, generating a significant amount of heat (300-1000 Kcal / Kg). When the temperature reaches above 350 degrees Celsius, self-roasting of the vanadium shale oil is achieved. This prevents sintering within the kiln body 2, resulting in a high conversion rate of the vanadium shale oil. The multiple sets of internal combustion furnaces in the kiln body 2 are used for decarburization, and the heat generated from decarburization combustion further facilitates self-roasting and oxidation. The use of internal combustion significantly reduces the amount of waste gas produced after kiln roasting, with particulate matter emissions ≤50mg / m³. 3 Sulfur dioxide emissions ≤400mg / m³ 3, Nitrogen oxide emissions ≤240mg / m³ 3 This technology achieves compliant emissions of exhaust gas. In existing technologies, the two 3.4-meter gasifiers consume more than 60 tons of coal per day, resulting in an annual coal consumption of more than 18,000 tons. The two 3.4-meter gasifiers in this application consume only 40 tons of coal per day, saving more than 8,000 tons of standard coal per year. This demonstrates good energy conservation and consumption reduction. Furthermore, the SO2 and particulate matter in the exhaust gas from the combustion of hot coal gas meet the "Emission Standard of Pollutants for Vanadium Industry" (GB26452-2011), thus achieving compliant emissions.

[0061] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
