Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steelmaking production technology, specifically relating to a dry cooling system for molten blast furnace slag. Background Technology
[0002] Blast furnace slag is a waste product discharged from the blast furnace during pig iron smelting. When the furnace temperature reaches 1450–1650℃, the furnace charge melts, and gangue from the ore, ash from the coke, flux, and other impurities that cannot enter the pig iron form slag, mainly composed of silicates and aluminates, which floats on the molten iron. Its main components are CaO, SiO2, and Al2O3, with small amounts of MgO, MnO, FeO, and S. Blast furnace slag is a waste product of ironmaking; approximately 0.29 tons of blast furnace slag are produced per ton of pig iron. At a tapping temperature of 1450–1650℃, the sensible heat and heat of solution of molten blast furnace slag reach 1883.6 MJ / t. Based on my country's annual pig iron production of 600 million tons, 174 million tons of blast furnace slag are produced annually, with waste heat equivalent to 11.14 million tons of standard coal. Whether measured by unit heat or total volume, blast furnace slag is a high-grade waste heat resource. Its efficient recovery and utilization is an important way for the steel industry to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve the efficiency of secondary energy. Currently, the vast majority of methods for treating high-melting-point blast furnace slag in China are wet cooling and dry cooling. Wet cooling involves flushing molten blast furnace slag with water, granulating it into slag, which is then processed and used as a building material. The flushing water is then recycled after sedimentation, filtration, and cooling. However, because water quenching converts the high-grade sensible heat of the blast furnace slag into low-grade waste heat in the flushing water, the waste heat recovery technology for this method suffers from low recovery rates, low energy grade, and limited applications, making it difficult to solve. Furthermore, it generates a large amount of polluting waste gas during the cooling process. Dry cooling, on the other hand, utilizes indirect or direct contact between high-temperature blast furnace slag and a heat transfer medium for slag granulation and sensible heat recovery. This method does not consume valuable water resources and releases almost no harmful gases such as H2S and SO2. In existing technologies, the dry treatment of molten blast furnace slag commonly uses air-quenching granulation, which involves a high-speed air stream impacting, dividing, and granulating the liquid steel slag, followed by air cooling to obtain granules with a diameter of 2m. For solid spherical slag particles of approximately 1 μm, the dry cooling system is a key piece of equipment in air-quenched granulation. Existing dry cooling systems utilize a spray gun to inject molten slag into the granulator, then spray compressed air into the granulator to cool the slag. This dry cooling system has several shortcomings: First, the existing compressed air injection mechanism relies on only one or two nozzles spraying from below the molten slag spray gun. This results in uneven airflow around the molten slag, leading to uneven airflow at the spray gun outlet. This uneven airflow causes poor contact between the compressed air and the molten slag, resulting in poor molten slag spray cooling. Simultaneously, the uneven airflow creates uneven suction on the dripping molten slag, causing molten slag to clog the nozzles, interrupting the spray cooling of the molten slag and affecting production efficiency. Second, relying solely on nozzle spray cooling cannot achieve a good cooling effect. After cooling, a large amount of molten slag still adheres, easily causing equipment blockage and excessive air consumption. Therefore, it is an objective need to develop a dry cooling system for blast furnace molten slag that is structurally sound, consumes little gas, has a significant cooling effect, and operates stably and efficiently.

[0010] By improving the system structure, this invention has the following advantages:
[0011] Firstly, this device transfers molten slag through an intermediate slag bucket and then discharges it through a primary guide cone nozzle. As the flow area within the primary guide cone nozzle gradually decreases, the flow velocity slows down. Atomizing mechanisms spray cold water into the transition cooling cone. This sprayed water first cools the molten slag, reducing its temperature. The cooled molten slag then converges at the secondary guide cone nozzle and flows out through it. Here, the flow velocity and flow area again decrease, flattening the clumps of molten slag as it flows out. Finally, a jet spray mechanism sprays water around the molten slag. After compressed air is injected, it can provide 360° surround cooling of the molten slag. The compressed air and molten slag make full and uniform contact in the upper part of the dry cooling tower, so that the molten slag is cooled and broken into fine powder particles. This solves the problem that uneven airflow will cause uneven suction on the dripping molten slag, which will cause slag to clog the nozzle. It can ensure that the flow rate and velocity of compressed air entering the dry cooling tower are uniform, reduce the collision between powder particles after the molten metal is cooled and broken, reduce the phenomenon of powder particles sticking together, prevent the dry cooling tower from clogging, facilitate continuous cooling of molten slag, ensure the efficient and stable operation of the system, and reduce the amount of compressed air used.
[0012] Secondly, the fluidized bed air distribution mechanism can continuously and evenly deliver cold air to the lower part of the dry cooling tower in a uniform and quantitative manner. The cold air can keep the powder particles in a suspended state in the dry cooling tower. Since the temperature of the cold air is lower than that of the powder particles, the cold air can quickly absorb the temperature of the powder particles, allowing the powder particles to be cooled quickly. After secondary cooling, the powder particles are discharged from the dry cooling tower through the slag discharge pipe. The fluidized bed air distribution mechanism can make the contact area between the cold air and the powder particles larger and more uniform, which can achieve a better cooling effect.
[0013] Third, the addition of a lid and closing mechanism allows for the opening and closing of the intermediate slag bucket, preventing high-speed airflow from directly spraying onto the surface of the molten slag during the slag cooling process, thus avoiding molten slag splashing, material waste, and ensuring safety during use.
[0014] Fourth, the water-cooled wall components can absorb the heat generated during the cooling process inside the dry cooling tower, reduce the cooling temperature inside the dry cooling tower, and realize the recovery of heat energy.
[0015] In summary, this device employs a cooling method that combines jet cooling and fluidized bed air supply cooling, which not only effectively improves the cooling effect of molten slag but also ensures production efficiency and reduces air consumption during the cooling process. It has the advantages of reasonable structure, stable operation, and low operating cost, and is easy to promote and use. Attached Figure Description

Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but this does not limit the present invention in any way. Any changes or substitutions made based on the teachings of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1-3As shown, the dry cooling system for blast furnace molten slag of the present invention includes a dry cooling tower 1 and a slag-transferring intermediate tank 2 located at the top of the dry cooling tower 1. The dry cooling tower 1 adopts the structure used in the prior art, including a lower cone, a cylindrical body, and an upper end cap connected sequentially from bottom to top. The lower cone, cylindrical body, and upper end cap are all made of high-temperature resistant materials. The inner cavity of the slag-transferring intermediate tank 5 is configured to gradually decrease in size from top to bottom, and the bottom of the slag-transferring intermediate tank 2 is configured as a pot bottom shape. A lid 21 is movably installed above the slag-transferring intermediate tank 2, and a closure mechanism connected to the lid 21 is provided above the dry cooling tower 1. The mechanism, including the closing mechanism, can drive the lid 21 to close or open the intermediate slag transfer tank. A transition cooling cone 3 is installed at the top of the dry cooling tower 1. The transition cooling cone 3 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The upper end of the transition cooling cone 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end cap. A primary guide cone nozzle 4 extending to the transition cooling cone 3 is installed at the bottom of the intermediate slag transfer tank 2. The primary guide cone nozzle 4 also has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. A spray mechanism is installed on the upper part of the transition cooling cone 3, which can spray cold mist water into the transition cooling cone. A secondary guide cone nozzle 5 is installed at the bottom of the transition cooling cone 4. The secondary guide cone nozzle 5 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. An air jet mechanism is provided on the lower outer side of the secondary guide nozzle 5. A fluidizing air distribution mechanism 6 is provided at the lower part of the dry cooling tower 1. A slag discharge pipe 7 is provided on the fluidizing air distribution mechanism 6. An exhaust pipe 8 is provided at the upper part of the dry cooling tower 1 at an upward angle. A filter screen 81 is provided at the inlet of the exhaust pipe 8. A centrifugal separator 9 is provided on the exhaust pipe 8. The centrifugal separator 9 can centrifuge and separate the high-temperature gas discharged from the exhaust pipe, separating the powder particles carried in the high-temperature gas. A slag discharge pipe 10 is provided at the bottom of the dry cooling tower 1 and the centrifugal separator 9. A water-cooled wall assembly is provided on the outer wall of the dry cooling tower 1. The water-cooled wall assembly can absorb the heat energy generated during the cooling process in the dry cooling tower 2, reduce the cooling temperature in the dry cooling tower 2, and realize the recovery of heat energy.
[0022] When this system is in use, the closing mechanism opens the lid 21, allowing the molten slag produced during blast furnace smelting to be introduced into the intermediate slag drum 2. Then, the closing mechanism closes the lid 21 onto the intermediate slag drum 2. This opening and closing of the lid 21 prevents high-speed airflow from directly spraying onto the surface of the molten slag, thus preventing splashing and material waste, and ensuring safety. The molten slag entering the intermediate slag drum 2 is discharged through the primary guide cone nozzle 4. As the flow area within the primary guide cone nozzle 4 gradually decreases, the flow velocity slows down. Atomizing mechanism sprays cold water into the transition cooling cone 3. The sprayed cold water first atomizes and cools the molten slag. After cooling, the temperature of the molten slag decreases to a certain extent. At this point, the molten slag, cooled by spray cooling, can converge at the secondary guide cone nozzle 5 and then flow out through it. The flow rate of the molten slag slows down again, and the flow area decreases further. After flowing out of the secondary guide cone nozzle 5, the clump-like molten slag flattens. Then, compressed air is sprayed around the molten slag using a jet mechanism. This compressed air provides 360° surround cooling to the sheet-like molten slag. The compressed air and molten slag make full and uniform contact in the upper part of the dry cooling tower 1, causing the molten slag to be cooled and broken into fine powder particles, thus solving the problem of uneven airflow affecting the dripping molten slag. The uneven suction force generated by the slag can cause slag to clog the nozzles. This can be addressed by ensuring uniform flow rate and velocity of compressed air entering the dry cooling tower 1, reducing collisions between powder particles after molten metal cooling and crushing, minimizing particle adhesion, and preventing blockage. This facilitates continuous cooling of the molten slag, ensuring efficient and stable system operation, reducing compressed air consumption, and lowering operating costs. After being cooled by the jetting mechanism, the powder particles flow downwards within the dry cooling tower 1. At this point, the fluidized bed air distribution mechanism 6 uniformly and quantitatively delivers cold air to the lower part of the dry cooling tower 1. The cold air keeps the powder particles in a suspended state within the dry cooling tower 1. The temperature of the cold air is lower than that of the powder particles, so the cold air can quickly absorb the temperature of the powder particles and cool them down quickly. After secondary cooling, the powder particles are discharged from the dry cooling tower 1 through the slag discharge pipe 7 and then through the slag discharge pipe 10. The fluidized bed air distribution mechanism 6 can make the contact area between the cold air and the powder particles larger and more uniform, which can achieve a better cooling effect. After being completely cooled, the powder particles are discharged from the dry cooling tower 1 through the slag discharge pipe 7 and then through the slag discharge pipe 10. The high-temperature gas generated during the cooling process in the dry cooling tower 1 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 8. After passing through the centrifugal separator 9 to separate the small amount of powder particles it carries, the high-temperature gas can enter the subsequent waste heat recovery unit for waste heat recovery treatment.
[0023] Furthermore, the closing mechanism includes a support frame 22, a movable rotating shaft 23, a lifting cylinder 24, and a drive motor 25. The lifting cylinder 24 is a mechanism used in the prior art, and finished components are directly purchased according to the requirements of stroke, pressure, etc. The drive motor 25 is also a prior art, and finished products are directly purchased according to the power required.

A driven bevel gear 27 is installed on the upper part of the movable rotating shaft 23 on the upper side of the horizontal connecting rod 26. The drive motor 25 is installed on the top of the support frame 22 on one side of the movable rotating shaft 23. A driving bevel gear 28 that cooperates with the driven bevel gear 27 is installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 25. When the barrel cover 21 is opened, the lifting cylinder 24... 4. Control the movable shaft 23 to rise. During the rising process, the movable shaft 23 can open the barrel cover 21. When the movable shaft 23 rises to the point where the driven bevel gear 28 and the driving bevel gear 27 mesh, the drive motor 25 drives the driving bevel gear 27 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving bevel gear 27, the movable shaft 23 can be rotated. The movable shaft 23 can drive the horizontal connecting rod 26 and the barrel cover 21 to rotate. Rotate to above the slag intermediate barrel 2 to facilitate feeding and other operations. When it is necessary to close the barrel cover 21, the drive motor 25 drives the driving bevel gear 27 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the driven bevel gear 28, the movable shaft 23, the horizontal connecting rod 26 and the barrel cover 21 to rotate synchronously. When the barrel cover 21 is directly above the slag intermediate barrel 2, the drive motor 25 stops working. The lifting cylinder 24 drives the movable shaft 23, the horizontal connecting rod 26 and the barrel cover 21 to move down until the barrel cover 21 is closed above the slag intermediate barrel 2.
[0024] Preferably, to prevent the molten slag in the intermediate slag bin 2 from sticking to the wall or causing blockage, and to ensure the smooth discharge of the primary guide cone nozzle 4, a stirring rod 29 is rotatably mounted on the bin cover 21. A spiral stirring blade 210 is mounted on the stirring rod 29. A stirring motor 211, which is connected to the stirring rod 29, is mounted on the top of the bin cover 21. The stirring motor 211 is a structure used in the prior art, and finished products are directly purchased according to the requirements of use. When the bin cover 21 is closed on the intermediate slag bin 2, the stirring motor 211 can be turned on. The stirring motor 211 drives the stirring rod 29 to rotate. During the rotation of the stirring rod 29, the spiral stirring blade 210 can rotate. The spiral stirring blade 210 can stir the molten slag in the intermediate slag bin 2, preventing it from sticking to the wall or causing blockage of the primary guide cone nozzle 4.
[0025] Furthermore, the spraying mechanism includes a water supply pipe 31 and an annular pipe 32. A flow control valve is installed on the water supply pipe 31.

Multiple air guide pipes 59 connected to the air inlet channel 54 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the first air distribution box 52. When the jet mechanism is in use, the air compressor 57 is turned on, and the compressed air generated by the air compressor 57 enters the air storage tank 58, and then enters the first air distribution box 52 through the air inlet pipe 53. After being evenly distributed by the first air distribution box 52, the compressed air enters the corresponding air intake channel 54 through the air guide pipe 59. The compressed air directly serves as the power source for the airflow distribution ring 55, driving the airflow distribution ring 55 to rotate. The rotation of the airflow distribution ring 55 causes the compressed air in the air intake channel 54 to change direction and generate airflow rotation, thereby ensuring that the compressed air is evenly mixed before flowing into the secondary guide cone nozzle 5. Afterward, the evenly mixed high-pressure airflow is ejected through the injection nozzle 56, and the molten slag drips under the action of gravity. The dripping molten slag... When the slag droplets come into contact with the high-pressure airflow, they are atomized and broken into a large number of fine powder particles.

The cooler is a structure used in the prior art and can cool the cold air and reduce the temperature according to the requirements of use. The fluidized bed base 63 is installed on the inner wall of the dry cooling tower 1 above the second air inlet box 61. The upper surface of the fluidized bed base 63 is machined with a large upper end and a large lower end. The slag discharge pipe 7 is installed at the bottom of the conical groove with a small end, and the lower end of the slag discharge pipe 7 passes through the second air inlet box 61. Multiple distribution air holes are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the second air inlet box 61.

The lower end of the air distribution pipe 66 is connected to the distribution air holes through a short pipe 67. An air cap 68 is installed on the upper end of the air distribution pipe 66. In use, the cold air generated by the cold air blower 64 enters the second air inlet box 61 through the cold air delivery pipe 62. After being evenly distributed by the second air inlet box 61, the cold air passes through the distribution air holes, the short pipe 67, the air distribution pipe 66 and the pipe cap 68 in sequence before entering the dry cooling tower 1 to cool the powder particles again. Preferably, the air cap 68 is evenly distributed with air holes. The air cap 68 is a hemispherical structure or a conical structure, which can prevent the powder particles from clogging the air cap 68 and affecting the uniform distribution of the cold air.
[0028] Furthermore, the water-cooled wall assembly includes a water-cooled jacket 11 spaced apart on the outside of the dry cooling tower 1. The cavity between the water-cooled jacket 11 and the dry cooling tower 1 is a water-cooled cavity.
