Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of zinc concentrate smelting, in particular to a zinc concentrate treatment system containing high copper and high lead. Background Art

[0002] Modern zinc smelting methods are divided into two categories: pyrometallurgical zinc smelting and hydrometallurgical zinc smelting, with hydrometallurgical zinc smelting being the main method. The traditional hydrometallurgical zinc smelting process is divided into five stages: sulfation roasting, leaching, purification, electrolytic deposition, and casting. This process route has relatively high requirements for the zinc content and impurity elements in zinc concentrate, with a long and complex process flow. Moreover, zinc leaching residues are classified as hazardous wastes and still require pyrometallurgical smelting for harmless treatment.

[0003] Currently, the traditional pyrometallurgical zinc smelting processes include electric furnace zinc smelting, shaft furnace zinc smelting, and closed blast furnace zinc smelting. Due to process limitations, the production capacity of electric furnace zinc smelting and shaft furnace zinc smelting can no longer meet the needs of modern industry. In the closed blast furnace zinc smelting process, there are problems in the sintering process, such as complex batching, harsh working conditions, and large energy losses. Only a few smelters in China still retain the closed blast furnace zinc smelting process.

[0004] Facing the increasingly depleted high-quality zinc concentrate resources, the importance of how to process high-copper and high-lead zinc concentrates with relatively high impurity elements has become increasingly prominent. However, there is currently no suitable process to treat zinc concentrates containing high copper and high lead to achieve the comprehensive recovery and utilization of copper, lead, and zinc.

[0005] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN113736994A discloses a roasting treatment method for zinc concentrates with high lead, high copper, and high iron, which includes the following steps: Step S1, mixing the zinc concentrates with high lead, high copper, and high iron with a binder and granulating, and then drying to obtain zinc concentrate pellets; Step S2, adding the zinc concentrate pellets into a fluidized bed roaster or a fluidized bed for oxidative roasting treatment to obtain roasted products; Step S3, feeding the roasted products into a hydrogen reduction furnace for selective reduction to reduce zinc ferrite therein to ZnO and Fe3O4 to obtain reduced products. The production system of this patent includes a granulator, a roaster, a hydrogen reduction furnace, a hydrometallurgical leaching device, and an electrolysis device connected in sequence. The ZnO reduced product obtained from the hydrogen reduction furnace of this patent still needs to be wet-leached again through a hydrometallurgical leaching device and electrolyzed using an electrolysis device to extract metallic zinc. The system is complex and does not consider the recovery of copper and lead metals. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a zinc concentrate treatment system to achieve the comprehensive recovery and utilization of lead, zinc, and copper in view of the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0009] Flux and reducing coal are added to the roasting product of the fluidized bed roaster and sent to the oxygen-enriched side-blown reduction furnace for reduction smelting to obtain zinc vapor, crude lead, and copper-zinc-containing slag. The zinc vapor is collected by the condenser to obtain crude zinc and low-calorific-value gas, realizing the efficient recovery and utilization of zinc.

[0010] The copper-zinc-containing slag obtained in the oxygen-enriched side-blown reduction furnace is sent to the fuming furnace for smelting to obtain secondary zinc oxide dust and copper-containing slag.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the exhaust port of the fuming furnace is communicated with the intake port of a first waste heat boiler. The exhaust port of the first waste heat boiler is communicated with the intake port of a first dust collection device.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the exhaust port of the fluidized bed roaster is communicated with the intake port of a second waste heat boiler. The exhaust port of the second waste heat boiler is communicated with the intake port of a second dust collection device.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the condenser is a lead rain condenser or a zinc rain condenser.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the granulator is a disk granulator, a cylindrical granulator, or a rotary kiln.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the discharge port of the second waste heat boiler and the discharge port of the second dust collection device are both communicated with the feed port of the oxygen-enriched side-blown reduction furnace or the granulator.
