Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lead-containing zinc oxide recovery, and particularly to a comprehensive recovery process for high-sulfur hydrometallurgical zinc slag. Background Art
[0003] In recent years, with the use of zinc concentrates with complex compositions in the hydrometallurgical zinc system, the sulfur content in the leaching residue has gradually increased. After the high-sulfur zinc-containing slag is calcined in a volatilization kiln, the secondary zinc oxide contains Fe: 8% - 12%, S: 11% - 15%, the zinc oxide contains Fe: 6% - 8%, S: 8% - 10%. The quality of the zinc oxide entering the hydrometallurgical zinc system is severely affected. It is necessary to add more manganese ore in the hydrometallurgical zinc process to oxidize Fe, S, etc., resulting in the continuous accumulation and increase of manganese ions in the hydrometallurgical zinc system, causing a huge impact on the continuous operation of the hydrometallurgical zinc system. Especially, the loss of manganese powder in the leaching system increases sharply, and the leaching process is greatly affected. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a comprehensive recovery process for high-sulfur hydrometallurgical zinc slag to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0006] A comprehensive recovery process for high-sulfur hydrometallurgical zinc slag, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1: Ensure that the temperature at the kiln tail is 460 - 500 °C and the temperature at the kiln head is 960 - 1020 °C;
[0008] S2: Adjust the coal injection amount to reduce the entry of reducing agents in the kiln, and gradually reduce the coal feeding frequency according to the impurity content of zinc oxide calcine;
[0009] S3: Increase the air volume of the secondary air blast at the kiln head to increase the entry of oxygen;
[0010] S4: Adjust the induced air volume according to the temperature change and the impurity content of the small kiln calcine and high-lead dust to ensure smooth reaction in the kiln.
[0011] In the step S2, the mixing ratio of pulverized coal to hydrometallurgical zinc slag is 20 - 30 tons of pulverized coal per 100 tons of hydrometallurgical zinc slag.
[0012] In the step S3, the air volume of the secondary air blast at the kiln head is adjusted according to the temperature detected at the kiln tail. The secondary air volume is 21% - 27% of the pulverized coal injection amount, and the air blast in the rotary kiln keeps the temperature at the kiln tail not lower than 500 °C and the temperature at the kiln head not lower than 1020 °C.
[0013] In step S1, to ensure the full combustion of pulverized coal, the air volume of the induced draft fan is 5 - 12 Hz, and the rotational speed of the rotary kiln is 10 - 15 Hz.
[0014] The zinc oxide calcine produced by roasting is packaged and stored in ton bags. The sulfur content in the zinc oxide is less than 2%, and the iron content is less than 5%.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0016] By changing and adjusting the coal injection volume and the air volume of the secondary air, the present invention adjusts the redox atmosphere in the rotary kiln, ensures the smooth reaction in the kiln, improves the treatment efficiency of sulfur-containing wet zinc smelting slag, reduces the iron and sulfur content in the zinc oxide product, has a simple process, high reaction efficiency, energy conservation and environmental protection, and high recovery rates of lead and zinc and removal rates of sulfur and iron.
