Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metallurgical solid waste slag treatment, in particular to an ultra-low frequency power supply electric furnace equipment device for extracting metal from solid waste slag. Background Art

[0002] Solid waste refers to solid waste generated during social life or industrial production. It can be divided into multiple categories based on composition, form, source, and other criteria. Smelting slag, among other solid waste types, is rich in valuable metals and highly recyclable. Valuable metals in slag can be recovered, and the resulting depleted slag can be used as a raw material for insulation or construction materials.

[0003] For example, steelmaking solid waste, also known as steel slag, is a metallurgical waste that every steel mill must dispose of. Discarded slag from electric furnace and converter steelmaking often contains approximately 20% iron oxides and around 10% free iron, making it highly valuable for recycling. However, steel slag has extremely low reactivity and is essentially unusable.

[0004] Existing equipment and methods for the disposal of oxide slag solid waste generally include wet refining, solid-state roasting and electric furnace smelting.

[0005] Wet refining is a method that uses chemical solution reactions to extract reducible or elemental metal elements from solid waste residues. It is carried out using the principles and techniques of chemical hydrometallurgy. Therefore, this disposal method will cause secondary pollution of wastewater. At the same time, due to the low content of recyclable elements in solid waste residues, the disposal cost is often high. It is only suitable for a very small number of solid wastes with great recovery value and relatively light secondary pollution.

[0006] Solid-state roasting is a process in which oxide slag solid waste is mixed with auxiliary materials such as reducing agents, and then calcined through roasting kiln equipment or high-temperature and high-pressure treatment. The metal oxides in the solid waste will be partially reduced to simple substances, and then the reduced metal elements are extracted through magnetic separation or wet leaching. Therefore, this disposal method requires the recovered metal to be magnetic, or needs to be combined with wet refining for the final recovery of valuable metals. The recovery efficiency is low, the cost is high, and the application range is narrow.

[0007] Electric furnace smelting involves melting oxidized slag solid waste at high temperatures in an electric arc furnace, separating the metal elements or performing liquid-phase reduction to produce valuable metal liquid and depleted slag. This disposal method is the most widely used solid waste disposal method, and almost all solid waste slag containing high-value metals can be recovered using electric furnace smelting. The solid waste slag treated through electric furnace smelting has the vast majority of the metal elements extracted, resulting in a highly reactive depleted slag melt containing a small amount of free metal.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an ultra-low frequency power supply electric furnace device for metal extraction of solid waste residue, which can provide a heat source for heat preservation and reconstruction of the solid waste residue and more thoroughly recover the metal in the solid waste residue.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an ultra-low frequency power supply electric furnace equipment device for extracting metal from solid waste slag includes a furnace body, a movable flat car 4, a graphite electrode 3 and a power supply 5. The furnace body includes a furnace shell 2 and a furnace cover 1. The furnace shell 2 is fixedly set on the movable flat car 4. The movable flat car 4 can move between the slag receiving station and the reaction station. The furnace cover 1 is set above the reaction station and is provided with a furnace cover lifting device. The furnace cover 1 is provided with a feed port and an electrode port. The movable flat car 4 drives the furnace shell 2 to move between the slag receiving station and the reaction station. The furnace shell 2 does not have a furnace cover 1 at the slag receiving station. When the electric furnace is used to dispose of solid waste slag, it is convenient to accept the addition of red-hot slag melt into the furnace. Even if there are low-temperature solid blocks in the slag, they can be easily dumped into the furnace. The furnace cover 1 is installed on a lifting bridge and is driven by hydraulic pressure to move up and down.

[0038] The furnace cover 1 is a tubular water-cooled structure, and the furnace shell 2 is a double-layer water-cooled structure, which can isolate the high smelting temperature and have a sufficiently long service life, thereby preventing the refractory material from overheating and reducing the consumption of the refractory material.

[0039] The graphite electrode 3 is arranged above the furnace cover 1. An electrode lifting device is provided on the graphite electrode 3.

The power supply 5 is controlled to realize three-phase ultra-low frequency controllable polarity power supply into the furnace when the solid waste slag is disposed of, thereby improving the utilization rate of electric energy, achieving the stirring effect of the molten pool in the furnace, accelerating the reaction rate in the furnace, and improving the metal recovery rate.

After the addition is completed, the feed pipe 6 is pulled out of the furnace by a winch;

[0048] Step 5, after the reaction is completed, open the slag outlet 8 to discharge the upper slag liquid, and then open the tapping hole 7 to discharge the lower metal liquid;

[0049] Step 6, during the solid waste slag heating treatment process, the cooling water is always flowing through the water cooling structure of the furnace cover 1 and the furnace shell 2 to cool the furnace cover 1 and the furnace shell 2, so as to ensure a longer service life;

[0050] Step 7, after the slag liquid and the metal liquid are discharged, the furnace cover 1 is lifted to be separated from the furnace shell 2 by the furnace cover lifting device, and the flat car 4 is moved to carry the furnace shell 2 to the slag receiving station to continue the slag feeding, and the next working cycle is carried out.

[0051] The foregoing description of the specific exemplary embodiments of the present application is for the purpose of explanation and illustration. Such description is not intended as a limitation on the precise form disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings.
