AI Technical Summary
Traditional zinc slag rotary kilns suffer from low zinc recovery rates and high energy consumption, especially in the low-temperature zone at the kiln tail where zinc vapor undergoes secondary oxidation to form secondary zinc oxide, and insufficient heating leads to poor preheating.
The rotary kiln's processing chamber is equipped with a hot air ventilation structure and four sets of heat conduction structures. Hot air is input through the air inlet structure and its temperature is increased by the heat conduction structures. The hot air is then discharged through the air outlet structure, ensuring the material preheating effect.
It improved zinc recovery rate, reduced energy consumption, ensured effective preheating of materials, and enhanced thermal efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-ferrous metal smelting equipment technology, and in particular to a rotary kiln for refining metallic zinc. Background Technology
[0002] The zinc slag rotary kiln is a core piece of equipment in non-ferrous metal smelting. It is specifically designed to process zinc-containing waste slag (such as zinc leaching slag, electric furnace dust, galvanizing ash, etc.) and achieves efficient recovery and resource utilization of zinc metal through high-temperature reduction and volatilization.
[0003] Zinc slag rotary kilns, through a high-temperature reduction volatilization-condensation recovery mechanism, undertake three major missions in the secondary zinc resource recovery:
[0004] 1. Economic efficiency: Efficient extraction of zinc metal from low-grade waste residue (cost per ton of zinc is 35% lower than that of primary zinc);
[0005] 2. Environmental friendliness: Solidifies heavy metals, achieving harmless treatment of solid waste;
[0006] 3. Sustainability: Resource utilization of kiln slag promotes synergy between the metallurgical and building materials industries.
[0007] Traditional zinc slag rotary kilns have the following drawbacks:
[0008] 1. Low zinc recovery rate (75-82%): Zinc vapor undergoes secondary oxidation in the low-temperature zone at the kiln tail to form secondary zinc oxide;
[0009] 2. High energy consumption: The coke powder ratio needs to be 18-22%, and the thermal efficiency is only 35-40%.
