Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a liquid slag air quenching granulation and waste heat circulation crystallization treatment system and method, belonging to the field of metallurgical slag technology. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's metallurgical industry, the production processes of the metallurgical industry and its related industries discharge a large amount of slag. How to achieve efficient, high-value and green utilization of slag is a common problem in the metallurgical industry. In the field of metallurgical slag treatment, existing technologies generally face technical bottlenecks such as low waste heat recovery rate and insufficient product added value. The traditional water quenching method uses high-pressure water flow to quench slag above 1400°C. Although it can form glassy particles for cement raw materials, it has technical defects such as large water resource consumption, unrecovered sensible heat of high-temperature slag, and generation of toxic gases during the cooling process. The wind quenching method uses high-speed airflow to crush liquid slag to achieve granulation. Although it reduces water resource consumption and pollution emissions compared to the water quenching method, the current process still needs to configure a circulating water cooling system to implement secondary cooling of the granulated slag, resulting in a double waste of water resources and waste heat, and the resulting product has a single mineral phase structure and a limited scope of application.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN 118028549 A discloses a high-temperature liquid slag air quenching granulation and waste heat efficient recovery system. During the granulation and blowing process of this method, the air in the water-cooled granulation bin exchanges heat with the water-cooled wall to achieve slag waste heat resource recovery. The patent with publication number CN 214529097 U discloses a high-temperature liquid dilute slag air quenching granulation and waste heat recovery system. The phase change heat storage rod absorbs the heat of the high-temperature flue gas and undergoes phase change to emit heat to ensure the temperature inside the device. Currently, slag furnace slag needs to be forced to cool after air quenching granulation, and its products are mostly used as cement admixtures, which limits the use scenarios of granulated slag.

[0020] In this embodiment, the temperature of the liquid slag after being heated in the buffer device is 1400° C.-1600° C., and the tempering agent is added in a range of 0-50%.

[0021] In this embodiment, the length of the slag flow trough 4 is 0.5m-2m, the diameter of the slag flow trough entrance is 30mm-50mm, and the number of the diversion pipes of the slag flow trough is 3-6.

[0022] A blowing plate 5 is provided below the tail end of the slag trough 4, and a nozzle 17 is provided on the blowing plate 5. The nozzle 17 is connected to the air compressor 7 through a compressed air pipe 6; the shape of the slag trough 4 includes but is not limited to a semi-open C-type or closed circular, rectangular and other shapes.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the blowing plate 5 includes but is not limited to rectangular, circular arc and other shapes. The shape of the nozzle 17 includes but is not limited to circular, rectangular and other shapes. The distance between the blowing plate 5 and the nozzle 17 is 0.05m-0.5m, the nozzle diameter is 1mm-3mm, and the air compressor pressure is 0.2MPa-0.8MPa The tail end of the slag trough 4 is connected to one end of the granulation bin 8, and a conveying platform 9 is provided at the bottom of the granulation bin 8. During the falling process, the hot slag is broken into small droplets by the high-pressure air sprayed from the nozzle 17 and falls on the conveying platform 9 at the bottom of the granulation bin 10.

[0024] The other end of the conveying platform 9 is connected to the entrance of the roller kiln 10. Figure 4 Figure 1 shows a top view of the roller kiln and conveyor platform. The roller kiln 10 is divided into a heating section 18 and a cooling section 19. Cooling nozzles 20 are located above the cooling section 19. Hot granulated slag beads are transported through the conveyor platform 9 into the roller kiln 10. After being kept warm for a period of time in the heating section 18, they are rapidly cooled in the cooling section 19 by spraying water from the cooling nozzles 20, or by natural air cooling.

[0025] The outlet of the roller kiln 10 is connected to a screening machine 11 , and the granulated slag is screened by the screening machine 11 into products of different sizes after cooling.

[0026] like Figure 3Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the roller kiln and the conveying platform. The side wall of the roller kiln 10 is provided with a drive motor 21 to control the transmission rate of the conveying platform 9. The bottom of the roller kiln side wall 10 is also provided with a plurality of spray gun ports 22 to control the internal temperature of the roller kiln 10.

[0027] The buffer device 3 is connected to the heat exchanger 15 through the hot air delivery pipe 14 and the air outlet pipe 16. Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the heat exchanger structure. A steel pipe 23 with a radius of 50 mm to 200 mm is provided in the heat exchanger 15. The hot gas in the buffer device 3 exchanges heat with the steel pipe 23 in the heat exchanger and is then discharged.

[0028] The top of the granulation bin 8 is connected to the flue gas purification chamber 12 through the flue gas inlet 13.

The hot flue gas ejected from the nozzle 17 passes through the dust removal process in the flue gas purification chamber 12 and then enters the buffer device 3 or the roller kiln 8 through the hot air duct 14, thereby recovering and reusing the heat energy of the flue gas during the production process.

[0030] Example 2:

[0032] The specific steps are as follows: The liquid slag discharged from the blast furnace or electric furnace is stored in the slag bag 1. The slag bag 1 is hoisted and installed on the hydraulic press 2. The slag enters the buffer device 3 through the pouring action of the hydraulic press 2; The slag is heated and homogenized in the buffer device 3 with the tempering agent added, and then flows into the slag trough 4 through the opening on the bottom side of the buffer device 3. Subsequently, when the slag falls at the tail end of the slag trough 4, it is blown into granulated slag by the high-pressure gas sprayed from the nozzle, and falls onto the conveying platform 9 at the bottom of the granulation bin 8, and is transported forward to the roller kiln 10 in the form of hot charging and hot delivery.

[0033] The granulated slag is kept warm and crystallized in the heating section 18 of the roller kiln 10. After crystallization, it is water-cooled or naturally cooled in the cooling section 19 before being sent to the screening machine 11. After screening, it is transported by vehicle. Simultaneously, the flue gas in the buffer device 3 is discharged from the outlet pipe 16 through the heat exchanger 15 after sufficient heat exchange. Meanwhile, the flue gas from the granulation injection process enters the flue gas purification chamber 12 through the flue gas inlet 13, where it is dust-removed. It is then transported through the hot air duct and heat exchanger to the buffer device 3 and the roller kiln 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the temperature of the heating section is 600°C-1000°C, and the heating time is 10min-120min; the cooling methods of the cooling section include but are not limited to water cooling and natural air cooling, and the temperature of the granulated slag after cooling is lower than 180°C.
