Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of blast furnace slag treatment technology, and in particular to a blast furnace slag caking treatment system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently used blast furnace slag flushing devices utilize a flushing box to flush blast furnace slag into a water-slag mixture. This mixture is then filtered by a water-slag treatment system to separate the water from the slag. The filtered water is then recycled back to the flushing box. (Reference) Figure 4 The existing blast furnace slag caking treatment system includes a sedimentation tank 1', a filter tank 2', a hot water tank 3', a cooling tower 4', a cold water tank 5', and a circulating water return assembly 6'. After separating water and slag through the sedimentation tank 1' and the filter tank 2', the filtered water is stored in the hot water tank 3'. Then, the water in the hot water tank 3' is pumped into the cooling tower 4' through the pump assembly 7'. Since there are also fine slag particles in the water in the hot water tank, after a long period of operation, caking occurs in the pump assembly 7'. The slag blocks the pump assembly 7', affecting the cooling effect and the system water balance. This leads to insufficient flushing water in the blast furnace flushing box, and in severe cases, slag blockage, affecting the normal operation of this water and slag treatment system or causing production accidents such as blast furnace shutdown.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a backwash assembly, which includes a first backwash water pipe and a second backwash water pipe connected to the hot water tank. Both the first backwash water pipe and the second backwash water pipe are equipped with backwash pumps. The outlet end of the first backwash water pipe is connected to the return water pipe and is located on one side of the inlet end of the return water pump. The outlet end of the second backwash water pipe is connected to the cold water tank and extends to the bottom of the cold water tank.

[0007] Furthermore, a flushing coil is provided at the bottom of the cold water tank, and the inlet of the flushing coil is connected to the outlet of the second backwash water pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a fourth control valve is provided on the return water pipe and on one side of the return water pump inlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the filtration tank is provided with multiple partitions arranged sequentially from top to bottom along its height.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a blast furnace slag caking treatment system, comprising a sedimentation tank 1, a filtration tank 2, a hot water tank 3, a cooling tower 4, a cold water tank 5, and a circulating water return assembly 6 arranged sequentially along the slag filtration direction. A pump assembly 7 is provided between the hot water tank 3 and the cooling tower 4. The pump assembly 7 includes a pump pipe 71 and a water pump 72 installed on the pump pipe 71. The circulating water return assembly 6 includes a return pipe 61 and a return water pump 62 installed on the return pipe 61. The inlet of the return pipe 61 is located inside the cold water tank 5. The workflow of this blast furnace slag caking treatment system is as follows: Settling tank 1 is used to store the slag discharged from the blast furnace stamping box 8 for initial settling. The settled water enters the filter tank 2 for filtration. The filtered water enters the hot water tank 3. Then, the water in the hot water tank 3 is pumped into the cooling tower 4 by the water pump 72 on the water pump pipe 71 for cooling. The cooled water is transported to the cold water tank 5 through the pipeline. Then, the water in the cold water tank 5 is pumped back into the blast furnace stamping box 8 by the return water pump 62 on the return water pipe 61 for recycling. The cold water mixes with the high-temperature slag in the blast furnace stamping box 8 to undergo water quenching. The high-temperature slag after water quenching is in the form of small particles and mixes with water, which is the water-slag mixture. Then, the water-slag mixture is discharged into the settling tank 1, and the above filtration process is repeated.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system also includes a cleaning pipe 14 and a first control valve 15 installed on the cleaning pipe 14. One end of the cleaning pipe 14 is connected to the return water pipe 61 and located on the outlet side of the return water pump 62. The other end of the cleaning pipe 14 is connected to the pump water pipe 71 and located on the inlet side of the pump water pump 72. A second control valve 16 is installed on the return water pipe 61 between the cleaning pipe 14 and the blast furnace stamping box 8. A third control valve 17 is installed on the pump water pipe 71 between the cleaning pipe 14 and the hot water tank 3. When the circulating return water assembly 6 stops pumping water into the blast furnace stamping box 8, the second control valve 16 and the third control valve 17 are closed, and the first control valve 15 on the cleaning pipe 14 is opened. At this time, the return water pump 62 works to pump water from the cold water tank 5 into the pump water pipe 71 through the cleaning pipe 14, thereby cleaning the pump water pipe 71 and the pump water pump 72, ensuring the smooth flow of the pump water assembly 7, and ensuring the normal operation of this slag treatment system.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It also includes a backwash assembly 9, which includes a first backwash water pipe 91 and a second backwash water pipe 92 connected to the hot water tank 3. Both the first backwash water pipe 91 and the second backwash water pipe 92 are equipped with a backwash pump 93. The outlet end of the first backwash water pipe 91 is connected to the return water pipe 61 and is located on one side of the inlet end of the return water pump 62. The outlet end of the second backwash water pipe 92 is connected to the cold water tank 5 and extends to the bottom of the cold water tank 5. When the cold water tank 5 stores water for a long time and the circulating water return component 6 operates for an extended period, the bottom of the cold water tank 5 and the inlet of the return water pipe 61 are prone to caking, affecting the pumping speed of the return water pump 62. In this case, it is necessary to clean the cold water tank 5 and the inlet of the return water pipe 61 promptly. The backwash component 9 can then backwash the inlets of the cold water tank 5 and the return water pipe 61 in a timely manner, ensuring that the bottom of the cold water tank 5 and the inlet of the return water pipe 61 do not caking or sludge buildup. A flushing coil 10 is installed at the bottom of the cold water tank 5, and the inlet of the flushing coil 10 is connected to the outlet of the second backwash water pipe 92. The flushing coil 10 allows for better flushing and cleaning of the bottom of the cold water tank 5. A fourth control valve 12 is installed on the return water pipe 61 and located between the first backwash water pipe 91 and the return water pump 62. When backwashing is performed on the inlet of the return water pipe 61, the fourth control valve 12 is closed to prevent high-pressure backwash water from entering the return water pump 62 and causing damage to the return water pump 62.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The filter tank 2 has multiple baffles 21 arranged sequentially from top to bottom along its height, dividing the filter tank 2 into multiple chambers. Each baffle 21 has a through hole 22 connecting two adjacent chambers. The through holes 22 are located on one edge of the baffle 21, and the through holes 22 on adjacent baffles 21 are staggered. The outlet of the sedimentation tank 1 is connected to the bottom chamber of the filter tank 2, and the outlet of the top chamber of the filter tank 2 is connected to the inlet of the hot water tank 3. This structure of the filter tank 2 can increase the retention time of water sludge in the sedimentation tank 1 and the filter tank 2, allowing more water sludge to settle in the sedimentation tank 1 and the filter tank 2, providing sufficient time for sludge removal, and allowing more sludge to be discharged from the water sludge system.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The return water pump 62, the pumping water pump 72 and the backwash pump 93 are all equipped with compensators 13 on both sides of the inlet and outlet. The compensators 13 can absorb the vibration generated by each pump during operation, thus improving the stability of the system.

[0044] In summary, by using the cleaning pipe 14 and the first control valve 15 installed on the cleaning pipe 14, when the circulating water return assembly 6 stops pumping water into the blast furnace punching box 8, the second control valve 16 and the third control valve 17 are closed, and the first control valve 15 on the cleaning pipe 14 is opened. At this time, the return water pump 62 works to pump water from the cold water pool 5 into the pump water pipe 71 through the cleaning pipe 14, thereby cleaning the pump water pipe 71 and the water pump 72, ensuring the smooth flow of the pump water assembly 7, ensuring the stability of the water volume when the pump water assembly 7 pumps water, and ensuring the normal operation of this slag treatment system.

[0045] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
