[0002] The reduction furnace is the core equipment for the smelting production of metals such as magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium. Its production principle is to reduce the metal oxides to metals under high temperature and high vacuum conditions by heating metal oxides and reducing agents to cause chemical reactions. Most reduction furnaces are horizontal tank reduction furnaces. Existing reduction tanks are generally single-mouth reduction tanks with one end closed and the other end open. The feeding, condensation reduction, removal of reduced metals, and slag discharge operations of this structure's reduction furnace are all carried out at one open end. Only one cooling water jacket is provided, and the reduction efficiency is low. The dust removal unit is far from the opening, and the dust removal efficiency is low and the effect is poor, causing environmental pollution in the factory. In the slag discharge link, workers use slag discharge tools to take out the high-temperature reduced slag from the reduction tank in batches at a close distance. High-temperature dust and waste slag can cause harm to the operating workers. Utility Model Content

[0019] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification. Figure 1As shown, the utility model is a metal oxide smelting reduction system, characterized in that it comprises a reduction furnace 1, a reduction tank 3, a feeding unit and a recovery unit, wherein both ends of the reduction furnace 1 and the reduction tank 3 are open, one end of the reduction tank 3 is a feeding port, and the other end is a slag outlet, the reduction tank 3 is arranged in the opening of the reduction furnace 1, and both ends of the reduction tank 3 are provided with water jackets 4 retained outside the reduction furnace 1, and the feeding unit and the recovery unit are respectively arranged at the feeding port and the slag outlet end of the reduction tank.

[0020] The reduction tank 3 includes a tank body, a water jacket 4, a tank cover 12 and a crystallization cylinder 5. The water jackets 4 are two and are respectively welded on the tank body of the reduction tank 3 at the feed port and the slag outlet. The crystallization cylinders 5 are two and are respectively placed inside the water jacket 4. The tank cover 12 is detachably installed on the water jacket 4. Rubber sealing rings are provided in the water jacket 4 and the tank cover 12. The crystallization cylinder 5 is a cylinder with one end open, and the diameter of the open end of the crystallization cylinder is larger than the top diameter.

[0021] The water jacket 4 is provided with a circulating water pipeline 9. Specifically, after the reduction tank 3 is loaded, a crystallization cylinder 5 is placed in the water jacket 4 at the feed port and the slag outlet. The metal vapor generated by the reaction in the tank can be fully collected by the crystallization cylinders 5 at both ends at the same time; compared with the case where only one crystallization cylinder is set, the output of crystallized metal can be significantly improved.

[0022] The feeding unit comprises a material box 11 and a track beam 10. The track beam 10 is arranged above the feeding port of the reduction tank 3. The material box 11 is slidably connected to the track beam 10. A feeding device is arranged between the material box 11 and the feeding port.

[0023] The recycling unit includes a waste slag box 6 and a dust removal device, wherein a dust collecting hood 7 of the dust removal device is arranged just above the slag outlet of the reduction tank 3, and the waste slag box 6 is arranged just below the slag outlet of the reduction tank 3. The dust collecting hood 7 can be placed close to the slag outlet, and the dust and hot air generated during slag discharge can be completely collected by the dust collecting hood 7 and sucked into the dust collector, thereby purifying the environment in front of the reduction furnace and in the workshop.

[0024] When loading and discharging slag, workers only need to operate at the loading port of the horizontal tank reduction furnace 1, without having to go to the slag discharge port. They will not be exposed to high-temperature reduced slag and dust, and are away from high-temperature danger sources, thus ensuring the safety of operators in front of the furnace. The reduced slag that falls into the waste slag box can be transported away by a forklift or a ground rail car.

[0025] The reduction tank 3 is provided with a vacuum pipeline 8 for evacuating a vacuum, and the vacuum pipeline 8 is provided with a regulating valve; the reduction furnace 1 is provided with a supporting column for supporting the reduction tank 3 .

[0026] During the slag discharge operation, workers use slag discharge tools to push the waste slag from the feed port to the slag discharge port, and the waste slag falls into the waste slag box 6 below the tank mouth; when the resistance is large, the slag can be pushed out in layers; compared with the current slag removal operation, the work efficiency will be doubled. If mechanical devices are used instead of manual labor, the slag discharge tools will be moved back and forth in the tank, and the slag discharge speed will be faster and the effect will be better.

[0027] When the reduction furnace 1 is in production, the material pellets 2 are loaded into the reduction tank 3 through the feed port, the tank cover 12 is closed, and then vacuuming is started through the vacuum pipeline 8 to heat the reduction furnace 1 to the reaction temperature. The tank body is heated to make the internal materials react, and circulating water is introduced into the two water jackets 4 through the circulating water pipeline 9 to reduce the temperature of the internal space of the water jacket 4. First, the rubber sealing ring between the tank mouth and the tank cover 12 is protected to ensure that the vacuum degree in the tank body is less than 10Pa; second, the metal vapor generated by the reaction is cooled and crystallized in the crystallization tube 5 at the end of the water jacket; after a reaction cycle, the tank covers 12 at both ends are opened, the crystallization tube 5 is taken out, and the high-temperature reduction slag is cleaned out at the slag outlet end to complete an operation cycle.

[0028] The utility model is also applicable to a vertical tank reduction furnace in which the reduction tank is placed vertically. Figure 2 .
