Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of top-blown smelting furnace production, in particular to a device for suppressing dust content in smoke from a top-blown smelting furnace. Background Art

[0002] In modern copper pyrometallurgy, top-blown molten pool smelting is a relatively advanced pyrometallurgical technology. The most representative furnace types are the Ausmelt and ISA furnaces. These furnaces are responsible for smelting copper concentrate, producing high-grade matte, slag, and flue gas with a high concentration of sulfur dioxide. This is a key process in copper smelting. A top-blown smelting furnace uses a top loader to feed a mixture of copper concentrate, related fluxes, and other materials into the furnace through the top charging port. Once this mixture, containing the copper concentrate, enters the molten pool at the bottom of the furnace, a series of physical and chemical reactions rapidly occur, producing matte, slag, and high-temperature flue gas in a short period of time.

[0003] As the high-temperature flue gas is drawn upward by the fan, it carries some splashing droplets from the molten pool and some falling materials into the flue. The particulate matter in the flue gas is eventually intercepted and collected by the waste heat boiler and the electrostatic precipitator. In production, the dust content of the ash is an important process indicator. If the dust content of the ash is too high, it will cause the following problems: First, it will aggravate the coking of the boiler water-cooled wall, affecting the boiler's heat exchange efficiency. In severe cases, it may cause the boiler tube to burst and stop production; second, the amount of boiler ash will increase, which will lead to frequent shutdowns and ash shoveling, affecting production time; third, the amount of electrostatic precipitator ash will increase, and the probability of blockage in the pneumatic conveying system pipeline will increase; fourth, the overall amount of ash will increase, and the amount of ash that needs to be returned to the furnace for disposal will increase, which will consume additional fuel to melt the ash and increase costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a device for suppressing dust content in flue gas from a top-blown melting furnace.
