Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of calcination furnace technology, specifically to a metal dust solid waste reduction and collection calcination furnace and its process. Background Technology
[0002] A calcining furnace is a thermal equipment used to heat-treat carbonaceous raw materials (such as coke and anthracite) at high temperatures to improve their properties. It is used in ironmaking, rare metal recovery, catalyst production, environmental improvement, and the production of specialty chemicals.
[0003] In existing technologies, some metal dust solid waste needs to be recovered through a calcination furnace during the reduction and collection process. The metal components in the solid waste are reduced at high temperature before collection. However, during the calcination and reduction process, the temperature distribution inside the calcination furnace is uneven. The natural convection of high-temperature gas rising and low-temperature gas sinking inside the calcination furnace results in a large temperature difference between the top and bottom of the furnace. Moreover, the airflow stagnates in corners or obstructed areas, forming low-temperature zones. This leads to excessively high temperatures in some local areas, causing some furnace walls or materials to be overheated. For some easily molten metal solid waste materials, local overheating will cause them to melt and adhere to the furnace walls, causing coking. At the same time, local overheating will also change the physical state of the material, increasing its viscosity, thus causing bridging.
[0004] To address this issue, we propose a metal dust solid waste reduction, collection, and calcination furnace and its process. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The preferred process for reducing, collecting, and calcining metal dust solid waste includes the following steps:
[0023] Step 1: Preprocessing
[0024] Metal solid waste is classified according to its composition, form, purity, etc., so that different treatment methods can be adopted. At the same time, impurities such as non-metallic substances such as plastics, rubber, and wood are removed. The screened metal solid waste material is then crushed to make its particle size meet the calcination requirements so that it can react fully during the calcination process. The particle size of the crushed metal solid waste material is generally between 8mm and 16mm. Finally, the crushed metal solid waste material that meets the particle size requirements is dried.
[0025] Step 2: Ingredient Preparation and Mixing
[0026] Based on the composition of the metal solid waste material and the metal product to be obtained, select a suitable reducing agent. The reducing agent is one of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon (such as coke, coal), metallic calcium, or aluminum. Use mechanical stirring to fully mix the metal solid waste material and the reducing agent evenly.
[0027] Step 3: Combustion and Reduction
[0028] The metal solid waste material processed in step three is loaded into the furnace body of the calcination furnace. The furnace temperature is slowly increased according to the predetermined heating curve, so that the material is gradually heated and undergoes preheating, drying, pyrolysis and other processes. After reaching the starting temperature of the reduction reaction, the temperature is strictly controlled within a suitable range to ensure the smooth progress of the reduction reaction. Under the action of high temperature, the impurities in the metal solid waste material will also undergo a series of physical and chemical changes. Some impurities will form dust inside the furnace body as the calcination process proceeds.
[0029] Step 4: Assisted calcination
[0030] During the calcination process, the staff starts the drive motor to make the cooling fan rotate and ventilate the inside of the calcination furnace to ensure that the metal solid waste material is heated evenly in the calcination furnace and to assist the calcination and reduction of the metal solid waste material in the calcination furnace.
[0031] Step 5: Cooling
[0032] After calcination, the material enters the cooling zone and exchanges heat with cold air, which rapidly reduces the temperature of the metal ore material to obtain a cooled product. The cooling method is one or a combination of natural cooling, air cooling, and water cooling.
[0033] Step Six: Discharge
[0034] After cooling, the solid metal waste is discharged from the calcining furnace through a discharge device. The cooled material is then processed to recover the metal. Depending on the properties and form of the metal, one of the following methods can be used: magnetic separation, gravity separation, acid leaching, or electrolysis, to separate the metal from the slag or other impurities.
[0035] Preferably, the calcination temperature in step three is controlled between 1200℃ and 1300℃.
[0036] Beneficial effects
[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a metal dust solid waste reduction collection and calcination furnace and its process, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] By setting up the flow guide plates and flow deflectors, when calcining metal solid waste materials inside the calcining furnace, the airflow between the calcining furnace body and the calcining furnace shell is guided. The flow guide plates and flow deflectors can guide the airflow to flow along a predetermined path, so that the contact between the airflow and the calcining furnace body and the calcining furnace shell is more sufficient and uniform, thereby making the temperature distribution inside the furnace more uniform. This avoids the metal solid waste materials from sintering, melting or incomplete calcination due to local high temperature or uneven cooling. It can increase the convective heat transfer coefficient, strengthen the heat transfer process, and allow the heat on the surface of the calcining furnace body to be carried away by the airflow more effectively, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Moreover, the airflow covers the surface of the calcining furnace body, avoiding local overheating and reducing cracking or structural failure caused by thermal stress concentration.
[0039] By continuously rotating the guide plates and deflector plates in opposite directions, the flow direction can be continuously changed, making the airflow more evenly cover the furnace surface or material layer, reducing dead zones and temperature unevenness. Stagnant gas films (such as high-temperature gas adhering to the surfaces of the guide plates and deflector plates) are easily formed on the static guide plates and deflector plates, while the rotating guide plates and deflector plates can break this gas film through continuous movement, maintaining efficient heat exchange and further ensuring the uniform distribution of heat in the calcining furnace during the calcination process.
[0040] The reciprocating cleaning rod can clean the dust on the surface of the blower casing. During the calcination process in the furnace, the calcined metal solid waste material will form dust and other impurities. These dust and impurities will adhere to the surface of the blower casing with the flow of gas, thus affecting the airflow. The cleaning rod can scrape off the dust and other impurities on the surface of the blower casing. The dust on the surface of the blower casing will increase the airflow resistance, resulting in increased power consumption of the blower. Regularly cleaning the dust with the cleaning rod can reduce wind resistance and improve the efficiency of the blower.
[0041] Meanwhile, the continuous vibration of the cylindrical rod can decompose the hard dust or clumps of dust (such as metal oxides and carbon slag) adhering to the surface of the fan casing, avoiding the dust residue caused by strong adhesion during static scraping. At the same time, the vibration can be transmitted to all parts of the fan casing, thereby covering the complex curved surfaces, welds or corners of the fan casing, ensuring that dust will not remain for a long time due to structural limitations, which is especially suitable for parts that are prone to dust accumulation.

[0077] Example 2
[0078] The process for reducing, collecting, and calcining solid waste containing metal dust includes the following steps:
[0079] Step 1: Preprocessing
[0080] Metal solid waste is classified according to its composition, form, purity, etc., so that different treatment methods can be adopted. At the same time, impurities such as non-metallic substances such as plastics, rubber, and wood are removed. The screened metal solid waste material is then crushed to make its particle size meet the calcination requirements so that it can react fully during the calcination process. The particle size of the crushed metal solid waste material is generally between 8mm and 16mm. Finally, the crushed metal solid waste material that meets the particle size requirements is dried.
[0081] Step 2: Ingredient Preparation and Mixing
[0082] Based on the composition of the metal solid waste material and the metal product to be obtained, select a suitable reducing agent. The reducing agent is one of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon (such as coke, coal), metallic calcium, or aluminum. Use mechanical stirring to fully mix the metal solid waste material and the reducing agent evenly.
[0083] Step 3: Combustion and Reduction
[0084] The metal solid waste material processed in step three is loaded into the furnace body 21 of the calcining furnace. The furnace temperature is slowly increased according to the predetermined heating curve, so that the material is gradually heated and undergoes preheating, drying, pyrolysis and other processes. After reaching the starting temperature of the reduction reaction, the temperature is strictly controlled within a suitable range to ensure the smooth progress of the reduction reaction. Under the action of high temperature, the impurities in the metal solid waste material will also undergo a series of physical and chemical changes. Some impurities will form dust inside the furnace body 21 as the calcination process proceeds.
[0085] Step 4: Assisted calcination
[0086] During the calcination process, the staff started the drive motor 13, which caused the cooling fan 14 to rotate and ventilate the inside of the calcination furnace 21 to ensure that the metal solid waste material is heated evenly in the calcination furnace 21 and to assist the calcination and reduction of the metal solid waste material in the calcination furnace 21.
[0087] Step 5: Cooling
[0088] After calcination, the material enters the cooling zone and exchanges heat with cold air, which rapidly reduces the temperature of the metal ore material to obtain a cooled product. The cooling method is one or a combination of natural cooling, air cooling, and water cooling.
[0089] Step Six: Discharge
[0090] After cooling, the solid metal waste material is discharged from the furnace body 21 of the calcining furnace through the discharge device. The cooled material is then processed to recover the metal. Depending on the properties and form of the metal, one of the following methods can be used to separate the metal from the slag or other impurities: magnetic separation, gravity separation, acid leaching, or electrolysis.
[0091] In step three, the calcination temperature is controlled between 1200℃ and 1300℃.
[0092] The overall working process and principle of the above embodiments are as follows:
[0093] Calcination of metallic solid waste materials:
[0094] The staff injects the pre-treated metal solid waste material into the furnace body 21 of the calcining furnace. Then, the granular metal solid waste material inside the furnace body 21 is heated and reduced by the heating device built into the furnace body 21. Subsequently, the staff controls the drive motor 13 to start through the external controller. The drive motor 13 drives the cooling fan 14, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, to rotate inside the fan housing 12 to assist in the reduction of the metal solid waste material inside the furnace body 21.
[0095] Specifically, when the cooling fan 14 rotates inside the fan housing 12, most of the airflow generated by the rotation of the cooling fan 14 will enter the interior of the calcining furnace body 21, and another part will enter the interior of the hollow cavity 22 formed between the calcining furnace housing 11 and the calcining furnace body 21.
[0096] As the drive motor 13 drives the cooling fan 14 to rotate, the drive shaft 41, which is fixedly connected to the cooling fan 14 through a reducer, will rotate accordingly. The rotating gear ring 24, which is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 41, will also rotate accordingly. Since the outer surface of the rotating gear ring 24 is arranged in a circumferential array with planetary gears 25 that mesh with it, and the outer surfaces of the planetary gears 25 mesh with the driven gear ring 26, the planetary gears 25 will rotate under the action of the rotating gear ring 24, thereby driving the driven gear ring 26 to rotate.
[0097] It should be noted that when the rotating gear ring 24 rotates clockwise, the planetary gear 25 will rotate counterclockwise, which in turn causes the driven gear ring 26 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. That is, the rotation directions of the rotating gear ring 24 and the driven gear ring 26 are always opposite.
[0098] As the rotating gear ring 24 rotates clockwise, the driven member 31, which is fixedly connected to the rotating gear ring 24, will rotate clockwise outside the furnace body 21. At this time, the through slot 32 opened on the driven member 31 and the guide plate 33 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the driven member 31 will rotate clockwise. Meanwhile, the guide plate 34, which is fixedly connected to the driven gear ring 26, will rotate counterclockwise inside the furnace shell 11.
[0099] At this time, the airflow entering the hollow cavity 22 will be affected by the continuously rotating forward guide plate 33 and the continuously rotating reverse guide plate 34, and then enter the part of the hollow cavity 22 where the guide plate 33 and the guide plate 34 are not provided. During this process, the guide plate 33 and the guide plate 34 will continuously guide the airflow.
[0100] Furthermore, as the planetary gear 25 rotates, the rotating rod 27, which is fixedly connected to the planetary gear 25, will also rotate. Simultaneously, the rotating rod 27 will cause the driven ring 2801, which is fixedly connected to its outer surface, to rotate, thereby causing the small fan blade 2802 to rotate inside the hollow cavity 22. As the guide plate 34 and the guide plate 33 rotate, the small fan is positioned between the guide plate 34 and the guide plate 33, and the outer surface of the small fan will contact the surfaces of the guide plate 34 and the guide plate 33. Furthermore, due to the staggered arrangement of the guide plate 34 and the guide plate 33, the small fan will rotate around the surface of the driven ring 2801 when squeezed by the guide plate 34 or the guide plate 33, and at the same time compress the torsion spring 2803 set on the outer surface of the driven ring 2801. When the guide plate 34 or the guide plate 33 is no longer in contact with the surface of the small fan blade 2802, the small fan blade 2802 will return to its initial state under the action of the torsion spring 2803, and will continue to rotate under the action of the rotating rod 27.
[0101] By setting the flow guide plate 33 and the flow guide plate 34, when calcining metal solid waste materials inside the furnace body 21, the airflow between the furnace body 21 and the furnace shell 11 is guided. The flow guide plate 33 and the flow guide plate 34 can guide the airflow to flow along a predetermined path, so that the contact between the airflow and the furnace body 21 and the furnace shell 11 is more sufficient and uniform, thereby making the temperature distribution inside the furnace more uniform. This avoids the metal solid waste materials from sintering, melting or incomplete calcination due to local high temperature or uneven cooling. It can increase the convective heat transfer coefficient, strengthen the heat transfer process, and allow the heat on the surface of the furnace body 21 to be carried away by the airflow more effectively, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the airflow covers the surface of the furnace body 21, avoiding local overheating and reducing cracking or structural failure caused by thermal stress concentration.
[0102] Through the continuous rotation of the flow guide plate 33 and the flow guide plate 34, which rotate in opposite directions, the flow guide structure can continuously change the airflow direction, making the airflow more evenly cover the furnace surface or material layer, reducing dead corners and temperature unevenness. Furthermore, static flow guide plate 34 and flow guide plate 33 are prone to forming stagnant gas film (such as high-temperature gas adhering to the surface of flow guide plate 34 and flow guide plate 33), while the rotating flow guide plate 34 and flow guide plate 33 can break this gas film through continuous movement, maintaining efficient heat exchange and further ensuring the uniform distribution of heat in the furnace body 21 during the calcination process.
[0103] Meanwhile, the cooling fan 14 is connected to the drive shaft 41 through a reducer. After being driven by the reducer, the speed of the drive shaft 41 will be much smaller than the speed of the cooling fan 14. Since the outer surface of the drive shaft 41 is provided with a spiral groove 42, the annular driven block 43 is slidably connected to the inside of the spiral groove 42 through the protrusion fixedly connected inside. At this time, the drive shaft 41, the spiral groove 42 and the annular driven block 43 can be regarded as a reciprocating screw. Therefore, the continuous rotation of the drive shaft 41 will cause the annular driven block 43 to reciprocate on the drive shaft 41.
[0104] At this time, the limiting member 44, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the driven block 43, will reciprocate on the outer surface of the drive shaft 41. When the limiting member 44 moves away from the fan housing 12 on the drive shaft 41, the movement of the limiting member 44 will stretch the connecting spring 45, which is fixedly connected between the limiting member 44 and the fan housing 12. In this state, the connecting rod 46, which is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the limiting member 44, will move away from the limiting member 44 towards the center of the fan housing 12 under the action of the limiting member 44, thereby driving the driven slider 47, which is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 46, to move towards the center of the fan housing 12 on the surface of the positioning rod 51.
[0105] In the above process, since the driven sliders 47 are arranged in a circular array with reference to the center of the drive shaft 41, and cleaning rods 48 are fixedly connected at equal intervals between adjacent driven sliders 47, and the cleaning rods 48 are set in contact with the surface of the fan housing 12, the cleaning rods 48 can scrape off the dust attached to the outer surface of the fan housing 12 during the movement of the driven sliders 47.
[0106] It should be noted that a brush is provided on the surface of the cleaning rod 48 near the fan housing 12, and the cleaning rod 48 is set as an arc-shaped tube with retractable ends. Therefore, during the movement of the driven slider 47, the cleaning rod 48 located between adjacent driven sliders 47 will be squeezed by the driven slider 47, and the two ends of the cleaning rod 48 will retract towards the center, so as not to affect the cleaning of the surface of the fan housing 12 by the cleaning rod 48.
[0107] As the driven slider 47 moves, the cylindrical rod 53, which is slidably connected to the end of the driven slider 47 away from the limiting member 44, will move accordingly. Since the hemispherical protrusion 52 is located on the movement trajectory of the cylindrical rod 53, as the driven slider 47 slides on the outer surface of the positioning rod 51, the surface of the cylindrical rod 53 near the positioning rod 51 will contact the surface of the hemispherical protrusion 52 and be squeezed by the smooth surface of the hemispherical protrusion 52, thereby generating movement away from the hemispherical protrusion 52 inside the driven slider 47. During the movement, the return spring 54 set between the driven slider 47 and the cylindrical rod 53 is compressed, and the movement state of the cylindrical rod 53 returns to the initial state under the elastic deformation force of the return spring 54 after the cylindrical rod 53 is separated from the hemispherical protrusion 52. Since the hemispherical protrusions 52 are equidistantly set, the above-mentioned movement process of the cylindrical rod 53 will be repeated with the movement of the driven slider 47, thereby realizing the continuous vibration of the cylindrical rod 53 on the positioning rod 51.
[0108] When the limiting member 44 moves toward the fan housing 12 under the continuous rotation of the drive shaft 41, the driven slider 47 and the cylindrical rod 53 will move in the opposite direction according to the above steps, and the reciprocating motion of the limiting member 44 continues with the rotation of the drive shaft 41.
[0109] The reciprocating cleaning rod 48 can clean the dust on the surface of the fan housing 12. During the calcination process in the furnace body 21, the calcined metal solid waste material will form dust and other impurities. These dust and impurities will adhere to the surface of the fan housing 12 with the flow of gas, thus affecting the airflow. The cleaning rod 48 can scrape off the dust and other impurities on the surface of the fan housing 12. The dust on the surface of the fan housing 12 will increase the airflow resistance, resulting in increased power consumption of the fan. The cleaning rod 48 can remove the dust regularly, which can reduce wind resistance and improve the efficiency of the fan.
[0110] Meanwhile, the continuous vibration setting of the cylindrical rod 53 can decompose the hard dust or clumps of dust (such as metal oxides, carbon slag, etc.) attached to the surface of the fan housing 12, avoiding the dust residue due to strong adhesion when statically scraping. At the same time, the vibration can be transmitted to all parts of the fan housing 12, thereby covering the complex curved surfaces, welds or corners of the fan housing 12, ensuring that dust will not remain for a long time due to structural limitations, which is especially suitable for parts that are prone to dust accumulation.
[0111] After the metal solid waste material in the furnace body 21 has been calcined, the staff can control the cooling fan 14 to continue to rotate through the drive motor 13, thereby accelerating the cooling of the calcined metal solid waste material by guiding the airflow between the furnace body 21 and the furnace shell 11 again.

9. A process for reducing, collecting, and calcining metal dust solid waste, applied to a metal dust solid waste reduction, collecting, and calcining furnace as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Preprocessing Metal solid waste is classified according to its composition, form, purity, etc., so that different treatment methods can be adopted. At the same time, impurities such as non-metallic substances such as plastics, rubber, and wood are removed. The screened metal solid waste material is then crushed to make its particle size meet the calcination requirements so that it can react fully during the calcination process. The particle size of the crushed metal solid waste material is between 8mm and 16mm. Finally, the crushed metal solid waste material that meets the particle size requirements is dried. Step 2: Ingredient Preparation and Mixing Based on the composition of the metal solid waste material and the metal product to be obtained, select a suitable reducing agent. The reducing agent is one of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon, metallic calcium, or aluminum. Use mechanical stirring to fully mix the metal solid waste material and the reducing agent evenly. Step 3: Combustion and Reduction The metal solid waste material processed in step three is loaded into the furnace body (21) of the calcining furnace. The furnace temperature is slowly increased according to the predetermined heating curve so that the material is gradually heated and preheated, dried and pyrolyzed. After reaching the starting temperature of the reduction reaction, the temperature is strictly controlled within a suitable range to ensure the smooth progress of the reduction reaction. Under the action of high temperature, the impurities in the metal solid waste material will also undergo a series of physical and chemical changes. Some impurities will form dust inside the furnace body (21) as the calcination process proceeds. Step 4: Assisted calcination During the calcination process, the staff started the drive motor (13) to make the cooling fan (14) rotate and ventilate the furnace body (21) to ensure that the metal solid waste material is heated evenly in the furnace body (21) and to assist the metal solid waste material in the calcination and reduction in the furnace body (21). Step 5: Cooling After calcination, the material enters the cooling zone and exchanges heat with cold air, which rapidly reduces the temperature of the metal ore material to obtain a cooled product. The cooling method is one or a combination of natural cooling, air cooling, and water cooling. Step Six: Discharge After cooling, the solid metal waste material is discharged from the furnace body (21) of the calcining furnace through the discharge device. The cooled material is then processed to recover the metal. Depending on the properties and form of the metal, one of the following methods can be used: magnetic separation, gravity separation, acid leaching, or electrolysis, to separate the metal from the slag or other impurities.
10. The metal dust solid waste reduction, collection, and calcination process according to claim 9, characterized in that: In step three, the calcination temperature is controlled between 1200℃ and 1300℃.
