[0002] The rotary kiln drying pre-reduction-electric furnace smelting process (RKEF) is the most widely used pyrometallurgical process for laterite nickel ore in the world. At present, there are more and more technologies that use the nickel iron water of the RKEF process to produce low-nickel matte. For example, the patent with the announcement number CN 219637303U discloses a device for pyrometallurgical smelting nickel iron from laterite nickel ore to further produce low-nickel ferrium. It discloses that the nickel iron water in the RKEF process nickel iron electric furnace is introduced into the iron ladle outside the electric furnace, and liquid sulfur is added to the nickel iron water in the iron ladle by stirring and adding sulfur, so as to strengthen the rapid and sufficient reaction between the nickel iron water and the sulfur, thereby reducing the cost of further producing low-nickel matte. However, the stirring head used in the device is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the feed pipe of the mixing head includes a vertical pipe and four horizontal pipes.

If the remaining nickel-iron water is not manually processed, it is easy to block the flow channel of the horizontal pipe, which makes the actual operation process There are safety risks; in other words, the flow channel needs to be dredged frequently, which increases costs.

[0020] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0021] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0022] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0023] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an inclined flow channel mixing head for producing low-nickel matte provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described. The inclined flow channel mixing head for producing low-nickel matte comprises a feed pipe 1, a sealing plate 2, a thick-walled tube 4, an anchor hook 5, a refractory material 6, a high-temperature resistant steel plate 7, a ring plate 8, a connecting flange 9, a rib plate 10 and an inclined tube 11. Among them, the thick-walled tube 4, the anchor hook 5 and the refractory material 6 constitute a rod body, and the high-temperature resistant steel plate 7, the anchor hook 5 and the refractory material 6 constitute a paddle, wherein the paddle is a cross-shaped paddle. A ring plate 8, a connecting flange 9 and a rib plate 10 are provided at the top of the rod body, which are used to connect the mixing head to the transmission device at the top. Specifically, the mixing head controls the speed through a variable frequency motor. The anchor hook 5 is welded to the outside of the thick-walled tube 4 and the outside of the cross-shaped high-temperature resistant steel plate 7, and the refractory material 6 is coated on the outside of the thick-walled tube 4 and the high-temperature resistant steel plate 7 and the anchor hook 5. The air barrier tube 3 and the feed pipe 1 are both arranged in the thick-walled tube 4. The outer diameter of the feed pipe 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air barrier tube 3. The outer diameter of the air barrier tube 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the thick-walled tube 4. The sealing plate 2 is arranged at the bottom end of the thick-walled tube 4. The air barrier tube 3 and the feed pipe 1 are both arranged coaxially with the thick-walled tube 4. The bottom end of the air barrier tube 3 is spaced apart from the sealing plate 2. The bottom end of the feed pipe 1 passes through the center of the sealing plate 2 and is connected with four inclined tubes 11. The inclined tubes 11 are used to form an inclined flow channel. The feed pipe 1 forms a feed channel for conveying nitrogen and liquid sulfur. The gaps between the feed pipe 1 and the air barrier tube 3, and between the air barrier tube 3 and the thick-walled tube 4 form a cooling channel. The cooling channel cools the feed pipe 1 by air cooling or water cooling. One end of the inclined flow channel is connected to the feed channel and the other end of the inclined flow channel is lower than the lowest end of the feed channel. By tilting the flow channel, when the stirring is finished, the nickel-iron water in the flow channel will automatically flow out by gravity, which reduces the hidden danger of blockage of the flow channel and ensures safety.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the angle α between the inclined flow channel and the horizontal plane is 5°-20°; preferably, α is 10°-20°, such as α=14°.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the blade is a cross-shaped structure with two cross-shaped symmetry lines. The horizontal deflection angle β of the inclined flow channel relative to the nearest blade symmetry line is 20°-31°. Preferably, β is 22°-26°, such as β=24°.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the other end port of the inclined flow channel is located on the back flow surface of the blade; the intersection of the end face of the blade and the front flow surface is rounded, and the intersection of two adjacent blades is rounded; in this way, according to the principles of fluid mechanics, nickel iron water and liquid sulfur are easy to form turbulence at the outlet of the flow channel, so that the two are mixed more fully and the reaction process of the two is promoted; at the same time, the rounded corner design reduces the stirring resistance and wear of the stirring head, so that the added liquid sulfur and nickel iron water continue to form a differential speed, reducing the risk of local accumulation of liquid sulfur, and enhancing the mixing and reaction rate of nickel iron water and sulfur; at the same time, reducing the stirring resistance can reduce power consumption and further reduce production costs.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
