Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal smelting, specifically to a waste heat utilization device for lead tanks in zinc smelting. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pyrometallurgical zinc smelting technology is widely used in my country and internationally. In the zinc vapor condensation and settling process, a lead rain splash condenser is used to condense zinc into molten zinc, which is then dissolved into a lead pool. The molten lead is continuously circulated in a flow channel by a pump. The molten lead flowing out of the condenser is cooled in a water-cooled flow channel, requiring a heat exchange device to lower its temperature. Because the high-temperature molten lead mixed with a small amount of zinc is corrosive, traditional cooling water pipes require frequent replacement. If the cooling water pipes are damaged, there is a certain risk to production safety. Furthermore, the waste heat from cooling the molten lead is not well utilized, resulting in heat waste.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 These are cross-sectional views and structural schematic diagrams of a zinc smelting lead trough waste heat utilization device provided by this utility model from two different perspectives.

[0020] The waste heat utilization device for zinc smelting lead tank includes a shell 12, with guide plates 13 on both opposite sides of the shell 12, and a lifting ring on the top of the shell 12.

[0021] A heat exchange device is provided inside the outer shell 12, and a heat exchange cavity 11 is formed between the heat exchange device and the outer shell 12. A heat exchange medium (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the heat exchange cavity 11.

[0022] The heat exchange medium is a lead-bismuth alloy with a density of 10.3 g / cm³ and a melting point of 125℃~200℃.

[0023] The top of the outer shell 12 is provided with an exhaust port (not shown in the figure) that connects to the heat exchange chamber 11.

[0024] The top of the outer shell 12 is provided with a heat exchange medium injection hole 7 that communicates with the heat exchange cavity 11.

[0025] The top of the outer casing 12 is provided with electrode 2 and electrode 6, which enter the heat exchange cavity 11. The depth to which electrode 6 enters the heat exchange cavity 11 is greater than the depth to which electrode 2 enters the heat exchange cavity 11. The liquid level of the heat exchange medium is located between the bottom surface of electrode 6 and the bottom surface of electrode 2. There is no electrical connection between electrode 6 and electrode 2.

[0026] The heat exchange device includes a heat exchange body 10 and a heat exchange water pipe 9 disposed on the heat exchange body 10. The two ends of the heat exchange water pipe 9 extend out of the top of the outer shell 12 to form an inlet 3 and an outlet 5, respectively. The pipe of the heat exchange water pipe 9 in contact with the heat exchange medium is provided with a protective sleeve 8.

[0027] The heat exchange body 10 is provided with an exhaust pipe 1 that connects the internal space of the heat exchange body 10 and the heat exchange cavity 11.

[0028] For specific implementation, please refer to the following: Figure 4 This is a layout diagram of a waste heat utilization device for a zinc smelting lead tank provided by this utility model.

[0029] Multiple waste heat recovery devices 15 for zinc smelting lead baths are fixed to the lead molten chute 14 via the lifting rings 4. The density of the lead molten liquid flowing in the lead molten chute 14 is 11.3 g / cm³, and the temperature is 400~520℃. The liquid level of the lead molten liquid in the lead molten chute 14 is higher than the bottom surface of the electrode 2 and lower than the top surface of the outer casing 11.

[0030] The first electrode 2 and the second electrode 6 are connected to an external alarm device.

[0031] The heat from the high-temperature molten lead in the lead chute 14 is conducted through the outer shell 12 to the lead-bismuth alloy, causing the alloy to melt into a liquid state. The heat continues to be conducted to the heat exchanger body 10 and the heat exchange water pipe 9, heating the cooling water in the pipe 9, some of which vaporizes into steam. The heated water and steam are discharged from the outlet 5 and utilized through an external pipeline.

[0032] When the outer casing 12 is damaged and leaks, the lead liquid in the lead liquid chute 14 enters the heat exchange chamber 11, causing the liquid level in the heat exchange chamber 11 to rise. When the liquid level rises to contact the first electrode 2, the circuit between the second electrode 6 and the first electrode 2 is connected, and the alarm sounds, indicating that the waste heat utilization device 15 for zinc smelting lead tank needs to be replaced in time.
