Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of control systems, and in particular to an automatic control method for roasting pyrite acid. Background Art

[0002] Sulfuric acid is a key industrial chemical used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of fertilizers, non-alkaline detergents, skin care products, paint additives, and explosives. In the metallurgical industry, most smelting raw materials are metal sulfides, such as zinc sulfide and copper sulfide. Smelting produces large amounts of sulfur dioxide flue gas, which seriously pollutes the environment. However, when the SO2 concentration in the flue gas reaches a certain level, the flue gas can be converted into sulfuric acid by using it for waste treatment. This not only produces sulfuric acid, but also achieves the goals of pollutant reduction and comprehensive waste gas utilization. In my country, the majority of non-ferrous metal smelting flue gas contains low-concentration sulfur dioxide. However, with the development of oxygen-enriched smelting technology, a number of high-concentration SO2 acid-producing enterprises have emerged.

[0003] Currently, in the acid production process, acid production factors are mainly controlled by instruments and human cognitive operations, which is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically controlling the roasting of pyrite acid in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings.

[0005] The method for controlling the oxygen-sulfur ratio of a roasting furnace according to the present invention is as follows: (a) manually controlling and stabilizing the roasting furnace feeder; (b) By adjusting the feeder frequency to control the amount of ore fed, the flue gas oxygen-sulfur ratio is maintained at the set value while the oxygen meter value is kept stable. The control model is as follows: , , Among them, the oxygen level is controlled at 1-3%.

[0006] The roasting furnace is equipped with dual oxygen meters, one for use and one for backup, which can be selected for automatic control. When the automatic oxygen meter fails, the control can be switched to the backup oxygen meter to increase the reliability of the automatic control.

[0007] The furnace temperature control model is as follows:

[0008] in, T(t) real-time temperature of furnace bottom; f(t) fan frequency (control input); Q(t) combustion-supporting air volume at the furnace bottom; Kf fan frequency-air volume ratio coefficient; α Combustion efficiency coefficient (air volume-heat conversion) C Furnace heat capacity h heat loss coefficient The control strategy is as follows:

[0009] A dual-thermometer control scheme for the roasting furnace is adopted. The two thermometers are one for use and one for backup. They can be selected during automatic control. When the automatic temperature meter fails, the control can be switched to the other thermometer to increase the reliability of the automatic control.

[0010] The DCS control system and PID controller are used to set the optimal PID parameters according to the roasting furnace process parameters to achieve the purpose of control stability.

[0011] The fan motor in front of the furnace adopts a high-voltage frequency converter. According to the roasting furnace process, the frequency converter frequency is adjusted to adjust the fan speed and air volume, so as to achieve the purpose of stably adjusting the air volume of the roasting furnace.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are: This patented technology is an industry first, solving the problem of automatic control of pyrite acid roasters in the sulfuric acid industry. Using this patented technology, the roaster has a 100% automatic control rate and zero operation frequency, which can reduce labor and equipment maintenance costs and increase the economic value of sulfuric acid slag.
