[0002] The pyrometallurgical copper smelting process is the process of converting copper sulfide concentrate into electrolytic copper through matte smelting, blowing, pyrometallurgical refining, electrolytic refining and other links. High-temperature copper slag mainly refers to the slag produced in the process of matte smelting, copper matte blowing and crude copper refining. The copper slag is mainly composed of fayalite, magnetite, copper sulfide, metallic copper and some gangue, in which the content of iron and copper is about 40% and 2% to 8% respectively.

[0003] The pyrometallurgical copper smelting process produces about 2.2 tons of copper slag for every ton of copper produced. The temperature of the copper slag out of the furnace is about 1200℃~1300℃, and each ton of copper slag contains about 1.13GJ of heat. However, the waste heat of high-temperature copper slag in pyrometallurgical copper smelting enterprises has basically not been recycled. The recycling of waste heat from high-temperature copper slag can not only reduce the energy consumption of copper smelting enterprises, but also reduce pollutant emissions and alleviate environmental pressure. It plays a vital role in energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises. The technology of waste heat recovery and utilization of high-temperature copper slag needs more in-depth research.

[0004] The current copper slag treatment process adopts the method of slow cooling of slag bags, the main purpose of which is to make the copper slag form a better crystal form during the cooling process, so as to facilitate the subsequent mineral processing process to better recover copper. However, the slow cooling process of the slag bag makes it difficult to utilize the waste heat of the high-temperature copper slag, which not only causes a large amount of waste heat waste, but also forms salt scale attached to the pipes and slag bags due to the evaporation of spray wastewater, resulting in serious corrosion and loss, greatly reducing the cooling efficiency, interfering with production, and increasing the difficulty of subsequent resource utilization of copper slag.

The power generation equipment 10 generates electricity through the first superheated steam and the second superheated steam and provides electric energy to the user. At the same time, the low-pressure steam generated by the power generation equipment 10 after generating electricity is used to heat the user's heat storage device for heating. The condensed water generated by the heating enters the fixed bed boiler 6 for heat exchange to generate a second superheated steam, forming a heat exchange cycle.

[0057] In summary, the present invention provides a copper slag waste heat recovery system, which realizes the mutual combination and effective connection of the recyclable energy processing system and the production system. The granulation bin adopts a granulation method combining gas quenching and centrifugation, which has the characteristics of high operation safety and high recovery rate. Through air and water cooling in different environments, high-temperature gases and superheated steam of different temperatures are obtained, which are targeted for use in pyrolysis gasification furnaces and waste heat boilers. It not only solves the serious problem of resource waste, but also effectively realizes the efficient utilization of copper slag waste heat. After the waste heat recovery of this system, the high-temperature copper slag with an original temperature of about 1200℃~1400℃ becomes low-temperature slag particles with a temperature of about 80℃~150℃. The waste heat recovery effect is obvious and provides convenience for the subsequent flotation process.
