Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metallurgical process control technology, and in particular to a method for predicting the viscosity of smelting slag in copper oxide-sulfide concentrate and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Copper sulfide concentrate is the core raw material in the oxygen-enriched intensified matte smelting process. However, with the gradual depletion of high-quality copper sulfide ore resources, copper sulfide concentrate is facing difficulties such as declining grade, increasing impurity content, and diversified composition. These factors pose a serious challenge to the production efficiency of matte smelting and the quality of copper matte products.

[0003] In related technical solutions, existing processes use copper oxide concentrate to replace part of the copper sulfide concentrate in the raw materials for matte smelting. Taking advantage of the characteristics of oxygen and silica components in copper oxide concentrate that can act as oxidants and fluxes in the matte smelting stage, an oxygen-enriched co-processing matte smelting of copper oxide and copper sulfide concentrate is proposed. This process not only significantly reduces the cost of raw materials and additives for matte smelting, but also reduces energy consumption by utilizing the large amount of heat released by the reaction of copper oxide and copper sulfide concentrate.

[0004] However, despite the significant advantages of the co-smelting process of copper oxide concentrate and copper sulfide concentrate, one of the technical challenges that still exists in this process is the excessive viscosity of the slag produced by the high ratio of copper oxide and copper sulfide concentrate. This high viscosity of the slag produced by the high ratio of copper oxide and copper sulfide concentrate can easily lead to an unreasonable slag shape and excessive copper content in the slag.

[0005] In view of this, this application proposes a method for predicting the viscosity of slag in the smelting of copper oxide-sulfide concentrate. The aim is to achieve real-time prediction of the slag viscosity of copper oxide-sulfide concentrate during the smelting process, so as to dynamically adjust the process parameters of the smelting process based on the predicted slag viscosity, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the synergistic smelting process of oxygen-sulfide concentrate under a high copper oxide concentrate ratio.

[0107] Second Embodiment

[0108] As one implementation scheme, refer to Figure 2 This embodiment provides a method for controlling the viscosity of smelting slag in copper oxide-sulfide concentrate. Based on the smelting slag viscosity prediction of copper oxide-sulfide concentrate provided in the first embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0109] Step S100: Obtain the current predicted viscosity value obtained from the viscosity prediction method of the smelting slag of the copper oxide-sulfide concentrate.

[0110] Step S200: When the current predicted viscosity value is greater than the preset viscosity threshold, adjust the flux content and / or adjust the input oxygen-enriched air volume so that the adjusted current predicted viscosity value is updated to be less than or equal to the preset viscosity threshold.

[0111] In this embodiment, the predicted viscosity value obtained in the first embodiment is used as a criterion to regulate the smelting process of copper oxide-sulfide concentrate.

[0112] If the current predicted viscosity value calculated within the current cycle is greater than the preset viscosity threshold, adjust the flux content and / or adjust the input oxygen-enriched air volume so that the adjusted current predicted viscosity value is updated to be less than or equal to the preset viscosity threshold.

[0113] In some alternative implementations, the flux content can be adjusted by controlling the Isa furnace flux feeder, and the oxygen-enriched air volume can be adjusted by controlling the opening of the oxygen-enriched air valve.

[0114] Further and optionally, adjusting the flux content includes increasing the CaO content in the flux to raise the slag basicity to 0.7-1.2. The principle and purpose of this adjustment are: an appropriate amount of CaO can disrupt the complex silicate network structure, achieving the depolymerization of the silicate network; and CaO can lower the liquidus temperature of the copper slag, expanding the liquid phase region.

[0115] Further and optionally, adjusting the input oxygen-enriched air volume includes adjusting the oxygen-enriched air volume to the oxidation rate of Fe. The value should be less than or equal to the preset oxidation rate threshold. The principle and purpose of this adjustment are:

[0116] The Fe3O4 content depends on the amount of oxygen-enriched air used, using the Fe oxidation rate Threshold setting for oxygen-enriched air volume.

[0117] In some alternative implementations, a table can be created based on the correlation between the amount of oxygen-enriched air and the oxidation rate of Fe. The target amount of oxygen-enriched air that would make the oxidation rate of Fe less than a preset oxidation rate threshold can be determined by looking up the table.

[0118] In some alternative implementations, the preset oxidation rate threshold can be set to 0.35, which is an empirical value.

[0119] In some alternative implementations, step S100 is performed once every 30 seconds.

[0120] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the smelting process is controlled based on the predicted viscosity value to ensure that the viscosity of the slag is in a low range, thereby enhancing the slag-matte separation in the synergistic smelting process under a high copper oxide concentrate ratio and reducing copper loss.

[0121] Third Embodiment

[0122] As one implementation scheme, refer to Figure 3 This embodiment also provides an oxygen-enriched top-blown matte smelting method based on the viscosity of smelting slag, the method comprising the following steps:

[0124] S2000, the copper oxide-sulfide concentrate is added to an Isa furnace at a temperature of 1100~1300℃ for oxygen-enriched top-blown smelting to obtain matte and slag with a grade of 56~65%. During the oxygen-enriched top-blown smelting process, the copper oxide-sulfide concentrate is regulated using the method for regulating the viscosity of the smelting slag as described in Example 2, so that the current predicted viscosity value of the slag is less than or equal to a preset viscosity threshold.

[0125] Fourth embodiment

[0126] Based on any of the above embodiments, in this embodiment, copper oxide concentrate and copper sulfide concentrate are blended according to Table 3:

[0135] SiO2(Slag)=(1000×10.71%+500×5.70%)+(100×14.85%+200×14.58%+200×12.17%)=257.3 kg;

[0136] The initial alkalinity calculation yielded (CaO / SiO2) = 0.07.

[0137] (3.2) Control measures: Add flux M k 120 kg of ᵢO raises the alkalinity to 0.9.

[0138] (3.3) Viscosity recalculation:

[0139] The parameter m = 0.587 × X{Ca} + 0.212 × X{Si} = 0.42;

[0140] Activation energy B = 35.2 kJ / mol;

[0141] The reference viscosity η0 = 0.45 Pa·s;

[0142] Fe3O4 mass fraction f = 0.12;

[0143] The final viscosity was obtained as η = 0.75 Pa·s (≤0.8).

[0144] In this example, 1500 kg of copper sulfide concentrate and 500 kg of copper oxide concentrate are used. Based on the price of copper concentrate in Zambia, the unit price of copper sulfide concentrate is US$3000 / ton and the unit price of copper oxide concentrate is US$2500 / ton. The smelting of copper concentrate per ton can save US$125, or about 4.15%.
