Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of resource treatment of metallurgical waste, and specifically relates to a method for utilizing all components of zinc-containing dust. Background Art

[0002] Zinc dust is a solid waste generated during the smelting of steel and non-ferrous metals. It mainly comes from processes such as electric arc furnace steelmaking, converter steelmaking and hot-dip galvanizing. The global annual production volume is as high as 6 to 10 million tons, of which China's annual production accounts for more than 30%. Zinc dust has a complex composition, mainly containing 10% to 30% zinc oxide, 20% to 50% iron oxide, and a small amount of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium and silicate impurities. The particles of zinc dust are usually below 75μm. Its fine particles are not only easy to spread, but also the heavy metals contained in it have high biological toxicity. If it is not properly handled, it may cause soil and water pollution after discharge, threatening the ecological environment and human health. At the same time, if the zinc and iron resources rich in zinc dust are not fully recovered, it will cause a waste of resources.

[0003] At present, the treatment of zinc-containing dust is mainly hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy. Patent CN113957257A discloses a method for hydrometallurgical smelting of zinc-containing slag. The hydrometallurgical process represented by this method is relatively cumbersome, and strong acid or strong alkali needs to be added during the production process, which is easy to produce acidic or alkaline wastewater, which has a heavy burden on the environment, and the recovery rate of zinc and iron is low, and zinc and iron cannot be recovered efficiently. At this stage, the resource utilization of zinc-containing dust is still mainly based on pyrometallurgy. Patent CN106702169A discloses a method of reducing zinc-containing dust pellets using a ring roasting furnace, and then grinding and magnetic separation to recover zinc and iron. This method requires high temperature operation and consumes a lot of energy.

[0004] Existing pyrometallurgical treatment methods have many deficiencies in resource recovery. Although pyrometallurgy represented by the rotary kiln reduction method has potential, it is easy to cause agglomeration and incomplete reduction due to the fine dust particles, poor fluidity, and uneven atmosphere control. In addition, the existing processes generally have problems such as high energy consumption, complex operation, incomplete recovery and secondary pollution, making it difficult to achieve efficient resource utilization of zinc-containing dust. Based on this, the present invention proposes a method of mixing zinc-containing dust with bentonite to form balls, and then reducing and roasting in a rotary kiln. This method optimizes and adjusts the ball-forming process, accurately controls the temperature of the rotary kiln and the reducing atmosphere, not only achieving efficient separation and recovery of zinc and iron, but also simplifying the processing process, reducing energy consumption, and reducing secondary pollution. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for utilizing all components of zinc-containing dust, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. Pretreatment: adding water to the zinc-containing dust and bentonite and stirring them to uniformly mix the zinc-containing dust and bentonite, pelletizing the mixture, and drying the resulting green balls;

[0007] S2. Reduction roasting: The dried green balls are sent to the rotary kiln, and CO / CO is introduced into the kiln. 2 The mixed gas is used for reduction roasting. The green balls are fully tumbled in the kiln and evenly contacted with the reducing atmosphere. The zinc oxide in the kiln is reduced to metallic zinc and volatilizes to generate zinc vapor. The iron oxide is reduced to generate metallic iron.

[0008] S3. Zinc vapor condensation and recovery: The zinc vapor emitted from the rotary kiln is rapidly cooled by the condenser at the end of the rotary kiln, condensed into solid zinc powder and then collected;

[0009] S4. Cooling and recovery of iron products: The reduced green balls leave the rotary kiln and are slowly cooled to room temperature in the air. After crushing and screening, iron products are obtained;

[0010] S5. Treatment of waste gas and dust: The whole system adopts closed operation. Bag dust collector and gas condensation device are installed at the discharge port and condenser of the rotary kiln to ensure that the dust and waste gas generated during the reduction process will not leak out. The waste gas generated by the rotary kiln is discharged after being treated to meet the standards to reduce the impact on the environment.

[0011] in:

[0012] In the step S1, the particle sizes of the zinc-containing dust and the bentonite are both ≤75 μm, and the mass ratio of the two is (45-55):1.

[0013] In the step S1, the mixing and stirring time of the zinc-containing dust and the bentonite is 30 minutes to 60 minutes, and the water content of the obtained mixture is 10% to 12%.

[0014] In the step S1, the particle size of the obtained green balls is 10 mm to 15 mm, the drying temperature of the green balls is 100° C. to 105° C., and the drying time is 4 h to 8 h.

[0015] In step S2, CO / CO 2 The volume fraction of CO in the mixed gas is 30% to 40%.

[0016] In step S2, the roasting temperature is 950°C to 1100°C, the rotation speed of the rotary kiln is 0.5r / min to 1r / min, and the green balls stay in the kiln for 45min to 120min.

[0017] In step S2, the specific reduction reaction is as follows:

[0018] ZnO+CO(g)=Zn+CO 2 (g) (1)

[0019] Fe 2 O 3 +CO(g)=Fe 3 O 4 +CO 2 (g) (2)

[0020] Fe 3 O 4 +CO(g)=3FeO+CO 2 (g) (3)

[0021] FeO+CO(g)=Fe+CO 2 (g) (4).

[0022] In step S3, the zinc vapor is cooled to below 600° C. to obtain solid zinc powder, and an inert gas is introduced into the condenser to prevent oxidation of the zinc powder during the condensation process, so that the zinc content in the zinc powder reaches more than 95%.

[0023] In step S4, the iron content in the iron product is ≥85%.

[0024] The key technical principle of the method for utilizing all components of zinc-containing dust of the present invention is:

[0025] This method utilizes the high-temperature reducing atmosphere in the rotary kiln to increase the particle fluidity and reaction contact area after balling, so as to promote the step-by-step reduction reaction of zinc oxide and iron oxide in zinc-containing dust, thereby achieving efficient separation and recovery of zinc and iron. The detailed technical principle can be explained as follows:

[0026] 1. Temperature control and step-by-step reduction principle: In the rotary kiln, the roasting temperature is controlled at 950℃~1100℃, which is suitable for the step-by-step reduction reaction of zinc oxide and iron oxide. Zinc oxide is first reduced to metallic zinc at this temperature. When the temperature reaches the boiling point of zinc (906℃), metallic zinc quickly evaporates into zinc vapor, while avoiding mutual interference between iron oxide and zinc, so that zinc and iron can be gradually separated. As the temperature rises further, iron oxide is gradually reduced to metallic iron in the reducing atmosphere and retained in the particles, thereby achieving effective recovery of iron resources.

[0027] 2.CO / CO 2 Reducing atmosphere control: by introducing CO / CO 2 The mixed gas is used to control the volume fraction of CO in the reducing atmosphere to 30% to 40%. CO has a strong reducing property and can effectively reduce zinc oxide to metallic zinc and further reduce iron oxide to metallic iron.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. Bentonite pelletizing omits the traditional agglomeration or high-temperature sintering steps, simplifies the process flow, and reduces equipment requirements and energy consumption.

[0030] 2. By optimizing the ball-making process and accurately controlling the roasting temperature and reducing atmosphere, efficient separation and recovery of zinc and iron are achieved.

[0031] 3. Zinc vapor is efficiently recovered through the condensation system, and pollutant emissions are reduced through a closed system, which reduces the risk of secondary pollution, meets environmental protection requirements, and is suitable for industrial promotion.
