Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a fluidized bed roasting method and apparatus, specifically to a fluidized bed roasting method and apparatus for copper-zinc concentrate, belonging to the field of fluidized bed roasting technology. Background Technology
[0002] Since the 1980s, over 85% of the world's zinc production has been produced through hydrometallurgical processes. Hydrometallurgical zinc refining typically involves pre-oxidative roasting of zinc sulfide concentrate to produce zinc oxide roast, which can be dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid. Fluidized bed roasting of zinc concentrate is the first and most critical step in hydrometallurgical zinc refining; its ability to produce qualified roast directly impacts subsequent hydrometallurgical processes. With the continuous depletion of domestic zinc resources and rapid market changes, smelters, in pursuit of maximum profits, are selecting increasingly complex zinc concentrates for their furnaces, typically characterized by high lead, high copper, high silicon, and high iron content. These high-impurity zinc concentrates, during roasting, not only undergo oxidation reactions to varying degrees, similar to zinc sulfide, but their intermediate products can further form various salts, such as zinc ferrite, zinc silicate, and lead silicate. For example, the zinc ferrite formed is difficult to dissolve in dilute sulfuric acid, which reduces the direct recovery rate of zinc; zinc silicate produces colloids during leaching, making solid-liquid separation difficult; and low-melting-point lead silicate will seriously affect the boiling roasting process.
[0003] In zinc concentrate, copper exists primarily as sulfides, mainly chalcocite (Cu₂S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂), and covellite (CuS). During fluidized bed roasting, oxidation is exothermic, ultimately resulting in the majority of copper as CuO and Cu₂O. Small amounts of CuSO₄, copper ferrite, and copper silicate are also present in the products. Copper sulfides undergo the following reactions at relatively low temperatures of around 500℃:
[0004] 2Cu₂S + 5O₂ = 2CuO + 2CuSO₄
[0005] 2CuFeS2=Cu2S+2FeS+0.5S2
[0006] CuS + 2O₂ = CuSO₄
[0007] Copper sulfate produced at low temperatures is thermodynamically unstable and will rapidly decompose according to the following formula when the calcination temperature exceeds 700℃:
[0008] 5CuSO4 + 3CuS = 4Cu2O + 8SO2
[0009] 2CuSO4=CuO·CuSO4+SO2+0.5O2
[0010] CuO.CuSO4=2CuO+SO2+0.5O2
[0011] The main copper sulfides react at this temperature according to the following chemical equation:
[0012] 2Cu₂S + 3O₂ = 2Cu₂O + 2SO₂
[0013] 2Cu₂S + 3O₂ = 2CuO + 2SO₂
[0014] 4CuS + 5O2 = 2Cu2O + 4SO2
[0015] 12CuFeS2+35O2=6Cu2O+4Fe3O4+24SO2
[0016] Analysis of the above chemical reaction equations and Cu-SO isothermal chemical curves revealed that, under actual boiling roasting temperatures and oxygen and sulfur potential atmospheres, copper impurities in zinc concentrate mainly exist in the forms of CuO and Cu2O. A small portion may exist in the form of copper ferrite.
[0017] Fluidized bed roasting of zinc concentrate is a crucial step in zinc production, significantly impacting subsequent processes. The smooth operation of the fluidized bed roasting furnace directly affects the overall system's performance. Due to the similar mineralization properties of copper and zinc, zinc concentrate often contains a certain amount of copper. High-copper zinc concentrate is prevalent in the market, and the copper content in the feed material is required to be less than 0.7%. However, the copper content in zinc concentrate frequently exceeds this standard, sometimes reaching 6-8 times the normal level. Copper negatively affects the fluidized bed roasting of zinc concentrate; the Cu₂O and CuO produced during roasting have high densities, typically around 6 g / cm³. 3 The density of ZnO is 5.606 g / cm³. 3 The bulk density of zinc calcined sand is generally 1.7-2.0 g / cm³. 3 Therefore, the copper oxides generated during roasting are relatively heavy and easily deposit at the bottom of the fluidized bed, and are also prone to forming matte, which lowers the melting point of the charge. This leads to accumulation at the bottom of the furnace, causing a scorching phenomenon, which reduces the fluidity of the charge, makes discharge difficult, and easily causes furnace failure. At the same time, the copper roasting process generates a large amount of heat, making it difficult to control the roasting temperature. Local high temperatures in the system can easily cause agglomeration. Once large-scale sintering occurs in the fluidized bed, the furnace condition will deteriorate severely, ultimately leading to furnace failure and shutdown. Summary of the Invention
[0018] To address the problems of copper oxides easily causing burnt bottoms and furnace failure in existing technologies, this solution proposes a fluidized bed roasting method and apparatus for copper-zinc concentrates. After zinc concentrates with high, medium, and low copper contents enter the fluidized bed apparatus, the flow rate of the fluidizing gas is controlled to ensure that the gas flow velocity is low at the top and high at the bottom. This allows the zinc concentrates with different copper contents to react fully in different zones within the fluidized bed apparatus, solving the problem of copper oxide accumulation and achieving precise separation and efficient roasting of copper and zinc oxides.

By controlling the introduction method and the amount of fluidizing gas, a high flow rate roasting zone, a low flow rate roasting zone, and a medium flow rate roasting zone, optionally including or excluding, located between the high flow rate roasting zone and the low flow rate roasting zone, are formed from bottom to top in the fluidization device.
[0023] 3) Add copper-zinc concentrate powder to the fluidized bed roasting device for roasting. During the fluidized bed roasting process, control the flow rate of the fluidizing gas in the high-flow-rate roasting zone, medium-flow-rate roasting zone, and low-flow-rate roasting zone so that the copper-zinc concentrate with high copper content enters the high-flow-rate roasting zone for reaction, the copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content enters the medium-flow-rate roasting zone for reaction, and the copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content enters the low-flow-rate roasting zone for reaction. After the reaction is completed, discharge all the roasted ore from the fluidized bed roasting device.

[0085]
[0086] The required air velocity in the high-flow-rate roasting zone is:

[0090] Similarly, the wind speed in the medium-flow-rate roasting zone is:
[0091]
[0092] The required air velocity in the medium flow rate roasting zone is:
[0093]
[0094] In the formula, G5 is the gas flow rate at the vent at the junction of the high-flow-rate roasting zone and the medium-flow-rate roasting zone, in m. 3 / s; m2 is the mass of copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content, in kg; g is the acceleration due to gravity, taken as 9.8 m / s². 2 ρ is the air density, kg / m³ 3 C2 is the resistance coefficient of copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5; S5 is the minimum cross-sectional area in the medium-flow-rate roasting zone, in meters. 2 S2 represents the projected area of a medium-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate perpendicular to the wind direction, in meters. 2 .

[0097]
[0098] The required air velocity in the low-flow-rate roasting zone is:
[0099]
[0100] In the formula, G6 is the gas flow rate at the vent at the boundary between the medium-flow-rate roasting zone and the low-flow-rate roasting zone, in m. 3 / s; m3 is the mass of copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content, in kg; g is the acceleration due to gravity, taken as 9.8 m / s². 2 ρ is the air density, kg / m³ 3 C3 is the resistance coefficient of copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5; S6 is the minimum cross-sectional area in the low-flow-rate roasting zone, in meters. 2 S3 represents the projected area of a medium-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate perpendicular to the wind direction, in meters. 2 .
[0101] Based on (Equation 17) and (Equation 18), (Equation 6) can be derived.
[0102] In this invention, the internal region of the fluidization device is divided into a high-flow-rate roasting zone and a low-flow-rate roasting zone, and optionally includes or excludes a medium-flow-rate roasting zone located between the high-flow-rate and low-flow-rate roasting zones. After the copper-zinc concentrate powder enters the fluidization device, the gas flow rate can be controlled to cause the low-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate to undergo a fluidization reaction in the low-flow-rate roasting zone, the high-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate to undergo a fluidization reaction in the high-flow-rate roasting zone, and the medium-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate to undergo a fluidization reaction in the medium-flow-rate roasting zone (when the medium-flow-rate roasting zone is set). This solves the problem of furnace deadening caused by copper oxide accumulation, achieves precise and efficient roasting of copper-zinc concentrate powder, and significantly improves resource utilization.
[0103] In this invention, the fluidization device can be a structure with an increasing cross-sectional area from bottom to top or a structure with an equal cross-sectional area from bottom to top. Simultaneously, based on the specific properties of low-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate, medium-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate, and high-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate (as well as medium-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate), the air velocities in the low-flow-rate roasting zone, medium-flow-rate roasting zone, and high-flow-rate roasting zone of the fluidization device are calculated. The airflow is then controlled based on the calculated air velocities to improve the stability and efficiency of the fluidization reaction process. Since the low-flow-rate roasting zone, medium-flow-rate roasting zone, and high-flow-rate roasting zone of the fluidization device are interconnected, the fluidizing gas in the high-flow-rate roasting zone will eventually pass through the low-flow-rate roasting zone and the medium-flow-rate roasting zone before being discharged from the fluidization device. Therefore, when calculating the air volume in the low-flow-rate roasting zone, the gas flow rate into the high-flow-rate roasting zone and the gas flow rate into the low-flow-rate roasting zone and the medium-flow-rate roasting zone should be calculated simultaneously. Based on the calculation results, the gas flow rate into the high-flow-rate roasting zone, the medium-flow-rate roasting zone, and the low-flow-rate roasting zone should be controlled (when it is necessary to discharge gas from the vent, the gas flow rate should be negative), thereby achieving fluidized roasting and precise control of copper-zinc concentrates with different copper contents.
[0104] In this invention, it should be noted that when the fluidization device has a structure with an increasing cross-sectional area from bottom to top, the wind speed only needs to meet the requirement that copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content is suspended in the low-flow-rate roasting zone and copper-zinc concentrate with high copper content is suspended in the high-flow-rate roasting zone. Therefore, the wind speed and air volume can be calculated using the minimum cross-sectional area in the low-flow-rate roasting zone and the high-flow-rate roasting zone, and the wind speed can be a range value. In practical applications, the height of copper-zinc concentrate in each zone can be adjusted by controlling the wind speed to achieve precise control. In addition, when the ore reaction is completed and discharged, it can also be discharged in batches according to the copper content of the ore from low to high.
[0105] In this invention, the fluidization device can also open vents at the junction of the high-flow-rate roasting zone and the medium-flow-rate roasting zone (and the junction of the medium-flow-rate roasting zone and the low-flow-rate roasting zone) to draw out excess fluidizing gas in the high-flow-rate roasting zone (and the medium-flow-rate roasting zone) or to replenish fluidizing gas in the high-flow-rate roasting zone (and the medium-flow-rate roasting zone), so as to control the airflow velocity in the medium-flow-rate roasting zone and the low-flow-rate roasting zone, adjust the fluidization height of copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content and copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content, and achieve precise control.
[0106] In this invention, the copper-zinc concentrate is added from the top of the fluidization device. Compared to bottom feeding, the material can directly reach the appropriate position and react directly from the top, avoiding the problem of excessive air velocity in the high-flow-rate roasting zone, which could cause the low-copper-content copper-zinc concentrate to be pushed upwards out of the fluidization device or exceed the height of the reaction zone. Furthermore, since the mineral particles and fluidizing gas enter the fluidization device from different positions, it is easier to control during actual production applications.
[0107] In this invention, a disturbance mechanism can also be provided at the bottom of the furnace body to prevent copper-zinc concentrate particles from falling to the bottom of the furnace.
[0108] In this invention, a medium flow rate roasting zone may or may not be provided. When the medium flow rate roasting zone is not provided, the copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content is fluidized and roasted in the middle area between the high flow rate roasting zone and the low flow rate roasting zone, or moves back and forth between the high flow rate roasting zone and the low flow rate roasting zone, without affecting the roasting effect of the copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content.
[0109] In this invention, m1, m2, and m3 in equations (1) to (6) refer to the mass of a single copper-zinc concentrate particle. The values of C1, C2, and C3 are determined based on parameters such as the diameter of the single copper-zinc concentrate particle in actual applications.
[0110] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0111] 1. The present invention provides a fluidized bed roasting method for copper-zinc concentrate, which enables copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content, medium copper content and high copper content to react in separate zones in a fluidized bed device, solving the problem of furnace dead caused by copper oxide accumulation, realizing precise and efficient roasting of copper-zinc concentrate, and greatly improving resource utilization.
[0112] 2. The present invention provides a fluidized bed roasting method for copper-zinc concentrate, which provides two optional structures for the fluidized bed device. Through calculation, the air volume introduced or discharged into the high flow rate roasting zone, the medium flow rate roasting zone and the low flow rate roasting zone can be controlled to achieve precise control in the roasting process. At the same time, it can also separate copper-zinc concentrates with different copper contents.
[0113] 3. The present invention provides a fluidized bed roasting device for copper-zinc concentrate, which discloses the specific structure of the fluidized bed device and realizes the zoned fluidized bed reaction of copper-zinc concentrate with low copper content, copper-zinc concentrate with medium copper content and copper-zinc concentrate with high copper content.
