Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a system for treating agglomerated titanium concentrate after drying, belonging to the field of titanium raw material drying equipment. Background Technique

[0002] The production of titanium concentrate uses the tailings after iron separation of iron-containing composite iron ore as raw materials, and is enriched after beneficiation. Before the subsequent treatment of titanium concentrate, it must first go through a high-temperature process. However, the flotation titanium concentrate generally contains 8-12% moisture. If the water-containing titanium concentrate is directly used in the high-temperature process, it will inevitably affect its redox roasting effect and energy consumption. Therefore, it is very necessary to dry and dehydrate the water-containing titanium concentrate before feeding it into the furnace.

[0003] There are two methods for the drying and dehydration process of titanium concentrate: direct drying and indirect drying. Due to the fine particle size of titanium concentrate, wide particle size distribution range, particles below 200 mesh (0.074mm) accounting for more than 75%; large moisture content of the material, easy to agglomerate; poor fluidity and other characteristics; the loss of direct drying of titanium concentrate is large, the production environment is poor, and during the drying process, due to the high initial temperature, the flotation agent is easy to decompose or volatilize and emit irritating odors, causing environmental pollution and seriously affecting people's lives; currently, the indirect drying method is used to dry titanium concentrate. The drying process: the water-containing titanium concentrate enters the rotary drum through the feed pipe, and the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of gas and air in the hot blast stove passes through the main flue gas pipe and exchanges heat with the water-containing titanium concentrate in the rotary drum. The water in the titanium concentrate evaporates to form steam and mixes with the air entering the rotary drum to form furnace gas with a water vapor content of 24.7-27.3%. Most of it leaves the rotary drum through the furnace gas hood, and a small part enters the dry ore bin together with the dehydrated titanium concentrate through the discharge hood, discharge pipe, scraper conveyor, and bucket elevator. The flue gas after heat exchange passes through the return pipe, flue gas hood, flue gas pipe, and is discharged after being dust-removed by a bag filter. To reduce dust escape, the dehydrated titanium concentrate from the indirect drying equipment rotary drum to the dry material bin through the scraper conveyor and bucket elevator is all in a sealed manner. A part of the furnace gas containing the volatile water of the titanium concentrate in the rotary drum enters the dry ore bin together with the dried and dehydrated titanium concentrate. Due to the temperature reduction in the dry ore bin, the water in the furnace gas condenses again, resulting in the agglomeration of the dried titanium concentrate near the wall of the dry ore bin, and in severe cases, water drops out. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that in the prior art, a part of the furnace gas containing the volatile water of the titanium concentrate enters the dry ore bin together with the titanium concentrate. Due to the temperature reduction in the dry ore bin, the water in the furnace gas condenses again, resulting in the agglomeration of the dried titanium concentrate near the wall of the dry ore bin.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problem is: a system for treating agglomerated titanium concentrate after drying, including a drying rotary drum, the discharge port of the drying rotary drum is connected with a discharge pipe, and a plurality of baffles are arranged at intervals in the discharge pipe, the baffles are arranged staggeredly, and one end is connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe.

[0006] Among them, the baffle plate in the above system is arranged to incline downward, and the included angle between the inclination direction and the axial direction of the discharge pipe is 30° to 35°.

[0007] Furthermore, the horizontal length of the baffle plate in the above system is 3 / 5 to 2 / 3 of the width of the discharge pipe.

[0020] Preferably, in the above system, the baffle 9 is arranged to incline downward, and the included angle between the inclination direction and the axial direction of the discharge pipe 8 is 30° to 35°. Those skilled in the art can understand that in order to ensure that the titanium concentrate after drying can smoothly enter the scraper conveyor 10, the inclination angle of the baffle 9 is further limited in this system. Specifically, the baffle 9 is arranged to incline downward, and the included angle between the inclination direction and the axial direction of the discharge pipe 8 is 30° to 35°. Therefore, the axial direction of the discharge pipe 8 here should be the direction below the discharge pipe 8, that is, the direction towards the scraper conveyor 10 side.

[0021] Preferably, in the above system, the horizontal length of the baffle 9 is 3 / 5 to 2 / 3 of the width of the discharge pipe 8. Those skilled in the art can understand that the horizontal length of the baffle 9 in this system is further optimized, that is, the projection length of the inclined baffle 9 in the horizontal direction. The width of the discharge pipe 8 can actually be understood as the diameter if the discharge pipe 8 is a circular pipe or the length if it is a square pipe. Therefore, the horizontal length of the baffle 9 is further limited to be 3 / 5 to 2 / 3 of the width of the discharge pipe 8.

[0022] Preferably, the above system further includes a dust removal pipeline 15 and a bag filter 17. The outlet of the discharge pipe 8 is connected to a scraper conveyor 10.

By adjusting the opening of the valve 16, the moisture content of the furnace gas entering the dry ore bin 13 is adjusted, and the moisture content of the furnace gas entering the dry ore bin 13 is controlled to be below 3% by the moisture detector 12.

[0025] Preferably, the discharge port of the bag filter 17 in the above system is connected to the dry ore bin 13.

In fact, it can be connected to the dry ore bin 13 and collected and processed together. A rotary valve can be preferably provided at the discharge port of the bag filter 17 to achieve solid-gas separation.

[0026] Preferably, a feed pipe 1 and a main flue gas pipe 5 are provided at the feed end of the drying rotary drum 4 in the above system, and a discharge hood to the discharge port of the drying rotary drum 4, and the discharge hood 7 is connected to the inlet of the discharge pipe 8.

[0028] Preferably, a flue gas hood 3 is provided at the drying rotary drum 4 near the feeding pipe 1 in the above system. The discharge hood 7 is connected to the flue gas hood 3 through a return air pipe 6, and the flue gas hood 3 is connected to the inlet of the bag filter 17 through a flue gas pipe 14.

After drying, the ilmenite concentrate entered a container with a pipe installed at the lower part on the side. The temperature of the ilmenite concentrate was 89.5 °C and the moisture content was 0.31%. The furnace gas entering the container with the ilmenite concentrate was extracted from the pipe at the lower part on the side.
