Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of magnesium smelting, and particularly relates to a magnesium reduction slag heat grading efficient utilization system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The silicon thermal method is a current mainstream magnesium smelting process, and about 6 tons of magnesium reduction slag (referred to as magnesium reduction slag) are generated for each ton of original magnesium produced. The magnesium reduction slag discharged from the reduction tank has a temperature as high as 1150 DEG C and contains a large amount of heat. When the temperature of the magnesium reduction slag decreases to about 675 DEG C, the magnesium reduction slag will be converted from a beta phase to a gamma phase, and the volume will expand to be "powdered" from a spherical shape to a powder shape. The powder-shaped magnesium reduction slag with a certain thickness has a much lower thermal conductivity than the block-shaped magnesium reduction slag, and it is difficult to utilize the residual heat. The spherical (block) shape has a high temperature and a large heat transfer coefficient, and only a small heat exchange area and a very short heat exchange time are needed, the residual heat recovery effect is obvious, and the recovery cost is small. The powder shape has a low heat transfer coefficient, and a large heat exchange area and a longer heat exchange time are needed, and the residual heat recovery cost is increased.

[0003] However, the magnesium reduction slag residual heat recovery device does not distinguish the difference between the magnesium reduction slag before and after the phase change, and the heat exchange coefficient of the powder is conservatively used for design and calculation, resulting in an increased heat exchange surface of the residual heat recovery device, a heavy equipment, and an increased production cost.

The magnesium slag outlet 11 is sequentially connected to a high-temperature zone heat exchanger 2 and a low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3. The high-temperature zone heat exchanger 2 comprises a heat exchange box 28, a ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism is arranged in the heat exchange box 28, an inlet slag port 26 connected with the magnesium slag discharge port 11 is arranged at the top end of the ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism, an outlet slag port 213 connected with the low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3 is arranged at the bottom end of the ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism, and heat exchange pipelines 29 are arranged in the heat exchange box 28 in a meandering manner, one end of the heat exchange pipelines 29 is a cold water inlet end 212, the other end is a hot water outlet end 211, and hot steam generated after the hot water outlet end 211 passes through a steam flash evaporator 210 provides a power source for a steam jet pump of the vacuum pumping system 15. The low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3 comprises a partition wall type heat exchanger connected with the outlet slag port 213, heat exchange pipelines 32 are arranged in the partition wall type heat exchanger in a meandering manner, one end of the heat exchange pipelines 32 is a cold air inlet end 34, the other end is a hot air outlet end 35, and the hot air outlet end 35 enters the burner 12 to mix and preheat the fuel gas and the cold air.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism comprises a support frame, driven spreading plates 22 and driving spreading plates 24 are alternately and sequentially stacked in the support frame from top to bottom, the bottoms of all the driven spreading plates 22 are connected through a driven shaft 21, the bottoms of all the driving spreading plates 24 are connected through a driving shaft 25, the movement of the driving shaft 25 synchronously drives the reciprocating movement of all the driving spreading plates 24, the movement of the driven shaft 21 synchronously drives the static or reciprocating movement of all the driven spreading plates 22, and the relative movement of the driving spreading plates 24 and the driven spreading plates 22 pushes the spherical magnesium slag 27 to roll and fall into the outlet slag port 213.

[0021] In order to facilitate the heat dissipation and heat exchange of the spherical magnesium slag 27, a plurality of heat-permeable grids or heat-permeable through holes are uniformly arranged on the driving spreading plates 24 and the driven spreading plates 22, the size of the heat-permeable grids or heat-permeable through holes is smaller than the size of the spherical magnesium slag 26, and the heat exchange pipelines 29 in the heat exchange box 28 are arranged around the ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism or can also be arranged at the bottom and the top of the ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism.

[0022] The system further comprises a signal control unit and an execution control unit for controlling the movement of the driving shaft 25 and the driven shaft 21, a temperature sensor 214 for monitoring the temperature of the spherical magnesium slag 27 after passing through the high-temperature zone heat exchanger 2 is arranged in the outlet slag port 213 of the ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism, the signal control unit judges whether the spherical magnesium slag 27 is changed into the powdery magnesium slag 31 according to the stable information of the temperature sensor 214, and then controls the movement of the driving shaft 25 and the driven shaft 21 through the execution control unit to adjust the heat exchange time and the rolling speed of the spherical magnesium slag 27 in the ladder-type reciprocating spreading mechanism.

[0023] The hot water outlet end 211 generates hot steam of 170 DEG C (6 kgf) or above after passing through the steam flash evaporator 210 to provide power source for the steam jet pump of the vacuum pumping system; that is, the temperature of the spherical magnesium slag 27 after being cooled by the high-temperature zone heat exchanger 2 is not lower than 250 DEG C, and then the powder magnesium slag 31 after phase change enters the low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3, and the temperature of the powder magnesium slag 31 after being cooled by the low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3 is controlled at about 150 DEG C, such as 140 DEG C, 145 DEG C, 155 DEG C, 160 DEG C, etc., so that the temperature required by the steam jet pump is ensured, and the waste heat of the powder magnesium slag 31 in the low-temperature zone is fully utilized.

[0024] Meanwhile, the bottom of the heat exchange box 28 is provided as a slope surface 23 inclined to the slag outlet 213, and if the spherical magnesium slag 27 falls, it can also fall into the slag outlet 213 under the action of gravity. An end cover is arranged at the slag inlet 26 of the high-temperature zone heat exchanger 2, and when the spherical magnesium slag 27 in the reduction tank 13 is completely dropped, the end cover covers the slag inlet 26 in time.

[0025] In the working process of the present application, when the first magnesium reduction cycle in the magnesium reduction tank 13 is completed, the magnesium slag outlet 11 is opened, and the spherical magnesium slag 27 falls into the slag inlet 26 of the ladder type reciprocating paving mechanism, at this time, the spherical magnesium slag 27 is thinly and evenly paved on the driving paving plate 24 and the driven paving plate 22, so that the spherical magnesium slag 27 in the high-temperature state is fully cooled to quickly and efficiently exchange heat with the heat exchange pipeline 29, the cold water in the heat exchange pipeline 29 is quickly heated to boiling hot steam water, and then hot steam is generated after passing through the steam flash evaporator 210 to provide power source for the steam jet pump of the vacuum pumping system 15, and the process continues until the temperature of the spherical magnesium slag 27 is reduced to about 675 DEG C, at which time the spherical magnesium slag 27 is converted from beta phase to gamma phase, and the volume expands to be “powdered” from spherical shape to powder shape, and further until the temperature is reduced to about 250 DEG C to end the high-temperature zone heat exchange. After phase change to the powder magnesium slag 31, the powder magnesium slag 31 enters the low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3 to further exchange heat with the heat exchange pipeline 32, the cold air entering from the cold air inlet end 34 is heated and enters the burner 12 from the hot air outlet end 35 to mix and preheat the gas and the cold air, and after the low-temperature and high-temperature zone heat exchange is completed, the powder magnesium slag 31 is discharged from the bottom slag discharge port 33.

[0026] In the process, the temperature sensor 214 monitors the temperature of the spherical magnesium slag 27 after passing through the high-temperature zone heat exchanger 2 in real time, so as to judge whether the spherical magnesium slag 27 is phase changed to the powder magnesium slag 31, if the phase change temperature is not reached, the driving shaft 25 and the driven shaft 21 are slowed down to make the spherical magnesium slag 27 stay in the ladder type reciprocating paving mechanism for a long time to fully exchange heat, otherwise the driving shaft 25 and the driven shaft 21 are accelerated to make the spherical magnesium slag 27 quickly fall into the low-temperature zone heat exchanger 3 in the ladder type reciprocating paving mechanism to meet the respective needs of the high-temperature and low-temperature heat exchange.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the same; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents, but these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
