Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a discharging device, in particular to a discharging device for a vanadium pentoxide melting furnace. Background Art

[0002] Vanadium, a rare metal with a high melting point, and its compound, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), are widely used in various industrial fields, including metallurgy, chemical engineering, organic chemical catalysts, inorganic chemicals, chemical reagents, enamels, and the production of magnetic materials. With the rapid development of science and technology, the application of vanadium has further expanded into high-tech fields, such as the manufacture of aviation-grade vanadium-aluminum alloys and the development of electrolytes for all-vanadium redox flow batteries.

[0003] In the field of ferrovanadium smelting, flake vanadium pentoxide offers superior usability. The production of flake vanadium pentoxide begins with sodium roasting of vanadium slag and water leaching of clinker to obtain a vanadium-containing solution. Subsequently, vanadium pentoxide is precipitated from the solution using an acidic ammonium salt precipitation method, and solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain powdered vanadium pentoxide. Finally, this powdered vanadium pentoxide is fed into a melting furnace, where it melts at high temperatures. The molten liquid flows out through the taphole and enters a water-cooled disc casting machine for cooling and solidification, ultimately forming flake vanadium pentoxide.

[0004] At present, since the temperature of molten vanadium pentoxide is above 690°C, the taphole of existing melting furnaces is a knotted structure of refractory materials, which is easily eroded by the high-temperature molten vanadium pentoxide, resulting in leakage and requiring frequent shutdowns for repairs, thus affecting production efficiency. At the same time, the knotted material after erosion of the taphole may enter the product, affecting the quality of the vanadium pentoxide. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a vanadium pentoxide melting furnace discharging device which has a simple structure, can improve product quality and has a long service life.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A vanadium pentoxide melting furnace discharge device includes a melting furnace, a gas burner and a disc casting machine provided on one side of the melting furnace. The device is characterized in that a first discharge nozzle and a second discharge nozzle are supported by a cement base below the discharge port of the melting furnace, the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle are arranged vertically and overlap each other, the first discharge nozzle has a U-shaped cross-section and an inclined arc-shaped groove is provided on its top surface;

[0008] A cooling cavity is provided inside the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle, and a water inlet and a water outlet are provided at both ends of the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle, respectively, for passing cooling water to cool the two discharge nozzles;

[0009] A cooling water tank is provided on one side of the melting furnace. Cooling water and a heat exchange pipe are provided in the cooling water tank. The cooling water tank is connected to the cooling chambers of the second discharge nozzle and the first discharge nozzle in sequence through a circulation pipeline. A centrifugal pump is provided on the circulation pipeline to circulate the cooling water.

[0010] One end of the heat exchange tube is led out of the cooling water tank to the air inlet and connected to the centrifugal fan, and the other end is led out of the cooling water tank to the exhaust port and connected to the combustion-supporting air inlet of the gas burner; it is used to exchange heat with the circulating water entering the cooling water tank to form hot air to supply the gas burner.

[0011] As a further preference, the rear end of the first discharge nozzle is inserted into the discharge port of the melting furnace.

[0012] As a further preference, the water inlet and the water outlet are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle.

[0013] As a further preference, the heat exchange tubes are serpentine coils and are arranged in multiple layers up and down in the cooling water tank to improve the heat exchange effect.

[0014] As a further preference, the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle are both cast iron parts.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] 1. A first discharge nozzle and a second discharge nozzle are provided below the discharge port of the melting furnace, the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle are arranged up and down and overlap each other, and circulating cooling water is introduced into the cooling cavity inside the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle. This not only reduces the temperature of the melting furnace taphole, but also solves the problems that the knotted structure of the melting furnace taphole is easily corroded and leaked by high-temperature molten vanadium pentoxide, requiring frequent furnace shutdowns for repairs, and the knotted material after corrosion enters the product and affects the quality of vanadium pentoxide; it also avoids the silicon and aluminum in the knotted material from corroding and entering the finished vanadium pentoxide, thereby improving the quality of the finished flaky vanadium pentoxide; and the melted liquid vanadium pentoxide can be spread as much as possible on the disc of the disc casting machine through the first discharge nozzle and the second discharge nozzle, so that the size and thickness of the finished vanadium pentoxide are uniform.

[0017] 2. The structure is simple, economical and durable. The service life of the taphole can be extended from the original 2 to 6 months to more than 5 years, which greatly reduces the cost of maintenance and replacement of spare parts. The air-cooled circulating cooling water is realized by the heat exchange tubes arranged in the cooling water tank, which can save 30 to 50 cubic meters of water per hour. At the same time, the hot air at the outlet of the heat exchange tube is connected with the combustion-supporting air inlet of the gas burner, which can realize the preheating and combustion-supporting of the gas burner fuel, and truly achieve energy saving and consumption reduction.

Water inlets 11 and water outlets 12 connected to the cooling chambers are respectively provided at both ends of the first discharge nozzle 2 and the second discharge nozzle 3, for passing cooling water to cool the two discharge nozzles; the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the first discharge nozzle 2 and the second discharge nozzle 3 to improve the cooling effect.

[0025] A cooling water tank 7 is also provided on one side of the melting furnace 1. Cooling water and a heat exchange pipe 13 are installed in the cooling water tank 7.
