Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgical pellet production, and particularly relates to a vacuum low-temperature reduction method and application of putty powder for bonding iron and steel solid waste pellets. Background Art

[0002] The iron and steel industry, as a typical resource- and energy-intensive industry, consumes a large amount of resources in the production process to produce finished steel products and generates a large amount of solid waste. During the production process of iron and steel enterprises, about 8-12% of the metallurgical dust and sludge is produced, mainly from the dust removal devices and the dust and sludge discharged from the wastewater treatment during the iron and steel production processes such as sintering, smelting, and rolling, and usually contains elements such as iron and zinc. Among them, electric furnace dust is listed as hazardous solid waste, and improper disposal will have a huge impact on the environment.

[0003] As a secondary resource with great utilization value, developing a suitable process to recycle the useful elements in these dusts and sludges can replace ironmaking raw materials, reduce China's dependence on imported iron ore, and solve the environmental pollution problems caused by iron and steel enterprise dust.

[0004] In the prior art, patent CN110317950B discloses a method for reducing and dezincifying zinc-containing dust, wherein the zinc-containing dust is heated with water and then mixed with a binder, pelletized and dried, and then calcined at high temperature in a rotary kiln, and then cooled in a protective atmosphere after reduction to obtain reduced dezincified balls. In this patent, a rotary kiln is used to treat zinc-containing dust, and the final product is secondary zinc oxide, which has a low added value. In addition, a composite binder is used as the binder, and high-value polyacrylamide is used for immediate use, which adds a process and increases the cost. Patent CN109022808A discloses a comprehensive recovery method for zinc-containing steel metallurgical dust, wherein various zinc-containing steel metallurgical dusts are ground and mixed with a reducing agent, coke powder, until the zinc content in the mixture reaches more than 10%, and the mixture is made into a pellet or brick shape using pulp or clay as a binder, and then vacuum reduction smelting is performed to obtain metallized pellets containing metallic zinc and mainly iron and carbon. In this patent, the binder used to improve the strength of the pellets is pulp or clay, and the amount used is as high as 4% to 6%, which makes the pelletizing cost high and the economic benefit low. Patent CN106399700A discloses a method and system for treating zinc-containing dust, wherein the zinc-containing dust, reducing agent and binder are mixed, milled, pelletized and dried, and then high-temperature roasted in a ring roasting furnace, and the high-temperature flue gas generated enters the zinc recovery system to collect the valuable metal dust, and the tailings are treated to obtain metal iron powder. The liquid binder used in this patent is not conducive to the addition and mixing during the pelletizing process, which may eventually lead to uneven strength of the finished balls, unable to meet the furnace entry standards, or easy to pulverize the pellets into powder after entering the furnace, resulting in a bonding effect, so that the pellets are powdery after reduction and cannot be directly used as raw materials in the converter. It is generally found in the above patents that in the treatment technology of zinc-containing steel solid waste, there are problems such as large amount of binder used, resulting in high cost of pelletizing, or uneven strength of pellets caused by the use of liquid binder, which affects the stable operation of the dezincification process, or secondary zinc oxide is produced in the rotary hearth furnace and rotary kiln, and the reduction affects the economic benefits of the dezincification process. Therefore, it is very necessary to adopt a new direct reduction dezincification technology to treat zinc-containing steel solid waste on a large scale, increase the added value of zinc products, and increase the strength of iron-containing products after reduction, so as to solve the solid waste treatment problem and ensure the sustainable development of the steel industry. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems of high cost and uneven pellet strength caused by the use of liquid binders in the treatment of zinc-containing steel solid waste, which in turn affects the stability of the dezincification process and the dezincification effect, the present invention provides a vacuum low-temperature reduction method for bonding steel solid waste pellets with putty powder and its application. The method has low price and good pellet performance, can meet the strength requirements of the raw pellet transportation process and the strength requirements of the dry pellet entering the furnace, and the pellets have high strength after reduction and can be directly used as steelmaking raw materials, thereby improving the economic benefits of the products.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions to solve the above technical problems: The present invention provides a vacuum low-temperature reduction method for putty powder to bond iron and steel solid waste pellets, including: Mix zinc-containing iron and steel solid waste, a reducing agent, and putty powder evenly to obtain a first mixture, add water to the first mixture and mix evenly to obtain a second mixture, pelletize the second mixture to obtain pellets, and dry the pellets to obtain reduction pellets; Reduce the reduction pellets under controlled pressure in segments in a vacuum atmosphere to obtain de-zincified pellets and crude zinc blocks.

[0007] The zinc-containing iron and steel solid waste includes any one of converter fume or OG sludge, and electric furnace dry dedusting ash; By mass percentage, the zinc-containing iron and steel solid waste includes 47% - 61% of Fe2O3, 9% - 18% of ZnO, 2% - 4% of SiO2, 1% - 3% of Al2O3, 1% - 6% of MgO, 4% - 8% of CaO, and the rest are impurities; the particle size of the zinc-containing iron and steel solid waste is 120 - 200 mesh.

[0008] The reducing agent is semi-coke or coke powder, the particle size of the reducing agent is 40 - 80 mesh, and the fixed carbon content in the reducing agent is ≥75%; the dosage of the reducing agent is 1.05 - 1.2 times the total molar mass of iron and zinc in the zinc-containing iron and steel solid waste for complete reduction.

[0009] The putty powder is an interior wall crack-resistant putty powder that meets the JG / T 298-2010 standard or recycled waste putty powder; by mass percentage, the putty powder includes 42% - 60% of CaCO3, 12% - 28% of 3MgO·4SiO2·H2O, 15% - 30% of CaSO4·2H2O, 1% - 5% of redispersible latex powder; the dosage of the putty powder accounts for 1.5% - 3% of the mass of the first mixture.

[0010] The recycled waste putty powder needs to be pretreated before use. The pretreatment includes: screening the waste putty powder to remove impurity particles with a particle size > 1mm; roasting the screened waste putty powder at 200 - 400°C for 1 - 2 hours, then grinding it, and screening it through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain the recycled waste putty powder.

[0011] The dosage of water is 8wt% - 10wt% of the second mixture.

[0012] The step of reducing the reduction pellets under controlled pressure in segments in a vacuum atmosphere to obtain de-zincified pellets and crude zinc blocks is specifically as follows: in the initial stage, place the reduction pellets in a vacuum environment of 50 Pa; in the heating stage, in a vacuum environment of 20 - 50 Pa, gradually heat up to 800 - 1020°C; in the heat preservation stage, in a vacuum environment of ≤20 Pa, keep the temperature at 1020 - 1070°C for 30 - 120 min to obtain de-zincified pellets and crude zinc blocks.

[0013] The segmented pressure-controlled reduction process is carried out in a vacuum furnace. A ceramic filter screen and a collector are arranged in the upper part of the vacuum furnace. The ceramic filter screen is used to filter impurity particles accompanied by volatile metal vapors, and the collector is used to collect the produced crude zinc blocks.

[0014] 3 - 5 layers of ceramic filter screens are arranged in the upper part of the vacuum furnace. The collector is a collection frame with a downward inclination angle from the inside to the outside, and the inclination angle is 5 - 8°.

[0015] The present invention also provides an application of the vacuum low-temperature reduction method for bonding steel solid waste pellets with putty powder in the treatment of zinc-containing steel solid waste.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The binder used in the present invention is ordinary interior wall putty powder, which has a wide source, a lower market price than other binders, is environmentally friendly and has a wide application range. Using waste putty powder (construction waste) as a low-cost binder not only reduces the landfill of construction waste but also reduces the raw material cost, which conforms to the concept of circular economy. Moreover, the main components of putty powder, such as calcium carbonate, can be used as a sulfur-fixing agent after high-temperature decomposition, and gypsum dehydrates at high temperature to generate CaSO4, and the released water vapor can promote the formation of pores inside the pellets, enhance the air permeability, thereby shortening the roasting time and reducing the energy consumption. The vacuum reduction is carried out by adopting a segmented pressure control adjustment process. Maintaining a lower vacuum degree during the heating period can promote the escape of CO and enhance the reaction kinetics. Increasing the high vacuum degree during the heat preservation period can accelerate the aggregation of the metal phase, which can significantly improve the reduction efficiency and the quality of the product. The product is crude zinc blocks, whose value is higher than that of the secondary zinc oxide produced by rotary kilns and rotary hearth furnaces, and the economic benefit is good. Moreover, the technical process and binder of the present invention can also be applied to other fields of alkaline carbon-containing pellet production and are suitable for large-scale promotion and application.
