Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of solid waste resource treatment and processing, and particularly relates to a device for recycling slag from a metallic silicon smelting furnace. Background Art

[0002] Silicon metal is a material widely used in industry and electronics. During the smelting process, approximately 200 kg of slag is produced for every 2 tons of metallic silicon produced. Annual silicon metal production in my country generates 300,000 tons of slag, with the silicon content in this slag reaching approximately 15%. Directly landfilling this waste not only wastes significant resources but also causes significant environmental pollution. Currently, the recycling process for slag produced by metallic silicon smelting involves manually separating and crushing the light and dark slag in the slag with a hammer. The slag is then sorted based on differences in density, particle size, shape, and speed and direction of movement in water. The silicon is then treated with hydrofluoric acid (HF) to form Si-F bonds on the silicon surface, increasing its hydrophobicity. Industrial silicon is then extracted from the slag using a two-step flotation process by adding flotation agents such as frothers and collectors. Finally, a medium-frequency electromagnetic induction melting furnace is used to add the silicon slag and slag agents (Na2O, SiO2, CaCl2, CaO) to the furnace, where argon is introduced for stirring. The mixture is stirred at 1550°C for 2 hours, smelted in an electric purification furnace, and the resulting silicon melt flows into a ladle. The molten silicon is then transported by a crane to the casting area for casting, where the silicon component is recovered. The above-mentioned treatment process and treatment system have the following shortcomings during use: First, the treatment process of the treatment system is long, and it uses sorting and flotation to separate the silicon components, which has poor separation effect. The amount of solvents such as hydrofluoric acid and frothers used is large, and the treatment cost is high. Flotation produces a large amount of waste acid and wastewater, which will cause serious environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a recycling device for metallic silicon smelting furnace slag with a simple treatment process, low treatment cost, low pollution, and the ability to significantly improve the recovery rate of elemental silicon. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a recycling device for metallic silicon smelting furnace slag, which has a simple processing flow, low processing cost, low pollution, and can significantly improve the recovery rate of elemental silicon.

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is achieved in that it includes a crusher and a storage tank arranged below the crusher, a stirring reaction tank is connected to the top of the storage tank through a hoist, the top of the stirring reaction tank is connected to the solvent tank through a liquid inlet pipe, the bottom outlet of the stirring reaction tank is connected to a separator through a slag discharge pipe, a sedimentation separation component is arranged inside the separator, an overflow pipe is arranged on the separator on the side opposite to the slag discharge pipe, the outlet of the overflow pipe is connected to a first filter press, the slag outlet of the first filter press is connected to a first dryer, the liquid outlet of the first filter press is connected to a circulation pool, a circulation pipe connected to the liquid inlet pipe is arranged on the circulation pool, a circulation pump is installed on the circulation pipe, the bottom outlet of the separator is connected to a second filter press through a liquid guide pipe, the slag outlet of the second filter press is connected to a second dryer, and the liquid outlet of the second filter press is connected to a sewage pool.

[0005] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this device are: this device optimizes the slag recovery process, the slag produced by metal silicon smelting is first crushed by a crusher, the crushed slag particles are sent to the stirred reactor through an elevator, and then a solvent is added to the stirred reactor. The solvent and the slag particles are mixed and reacted in the stirred reactor to form a solid-liquid mixture. The formed solid-liquid mixture enters the separator for separation, and the slag solution is separated and filtered by the second filter press. The wastewater enters the recovery pool and enters the wastewater treatment system. The filter residue can be used as a raw material for sintered bricks after drying, and the elemental silicon solution separated by the separator enters the first filter for filtration, and the filtrate is stored in the circulation The silicon in the pool is returned to the stirred reactor through a circulation pipe for recycling, and the elemental silicon in the filter residue can be efficiently recovered after being dried by the first dryer.
