[0027] Roller mill mixing unit: Equipped with a closed roller mill, it receives the mixture output from the twin-shaft mixing equipment. Through mixing, compaction and crushing, large raw materials are ground to less than 0.5mm, increasing the specific surface area of ​​the material and promoting the full combination of binder and solid waste particles.

[0028] Mixing unit: A two-stage twin-shaft mixing device is used to mix the material after roller milling for 5 minutes, so that the mixture is loose and uniform, providing a good material state for subsequent screening and additive mixing.

[0029] Primary screening unit: Equipped with inspection screening equipment, the stirred material is classified under the action of vibration force field. The undersize material (<0.5mm) enters the secondary mixing unit, and the oversize material (≥0.5mm) is returned to the roller mill mixing unit for reprocessing to ensure that the particle size of the material meets the molding requirements.

[0030] Secondary mixing unit: Includes twin-shaft mixing equipment and additive silo. Add 0.1% to 5% additives to the qualified material screened in the primary stage. The additives include trace elements, clay, flux, etc. Mix for 5 to 8 minutes to fully mix the material and additives.

[0035] This utility model provides a disposal method for a steel mill steel powder solid waste resource recycling process system, including the following steps:

[0036] S1. Mixing ratio

[0037] In steel mills, fine particles such as steel slag powder, iron oxide, converter sludge, aluminum shavings, dust collector ash, shot blasting ash, automotive slag powder, electric furnace slag powder, zinc slag powder, and iron powder are stored separately in steel powder silos. These particles are then mixed according to a specific ratio using a metering system. Simultaneously, an organic binder is removed from its storage tank and transported along with the solid waste particles to a twin-shaft mixing unit via a feeder. The twin-shaft mixing unit is then activated to initially mix the materials, ensuring thorough contact between the solid waste particles and the organic binder.

[0038] S2. Roller mixing

[0039] The mixed powder prepared in step S1 is mixed with steel powder and organic binder by a twin-shaft mixing device, and then fed into a closed roller mill for a second fine mixing and compaction. This process ensures that the raw materials and organic binder are in full contact, while also crushing large pieces of raw materials into small particles, increasing the specific surface area of ​​the mixture, and ensuring that the organic binder and steel powder are fully mixed.

[0040] S3. Stir and mix

[0041] The material after roller milling enters a twin-shaft mixing device and is mixed at low speed for 5 minutes, with a rotation speed of 20-30 r / min. During this process, the mixture becomes loose and uniform, preparing it for subsequent processes.

[0042] S4. Primary screening

[0043] The steel and organic binder mixture, which is thoroughly mixed by the twin-shaft mixing equipment in step S3, is fed into the inspection screening equipment. Under the action of the vibration field, the mixed powder particles are broken up again and screened and graded. Particles smaller than 0.5mm pass through the screen and become the undersize material as qualified raw material. Mixed particles larger than 0.5mm are returned to the enclosed roller mill for further crushing.

[0044] S5. Secondary mixing

[0045] The sieved material from step S4 is fed into a secondary mixing twin-shaft mixer, and 0.1% to 5% additives are added. The additives include trace elements, clay, flux, toughening fibers, anti-aging agents, color masterbatches, etc., depending on the process requirements. The powder raw materials and additives are mixed thoroughly for 5 to 8 minutes. The mixture should contain 20% to 40% large particles, 30% to 50% medium particles, and 20% to 40% fine powder to ensure the compactness of subsequent molding and the strength after sintering.

[0046] S6. Automatic Fabric Distribution

[0047] The material discharged from the secondary mixing twin-shaft mixer in step S5 is sent to the automatic material distributor via a belt conveyor for automatic material distribution. The material distribution amount can be set to 20-50 kg / time depending on the mold. The distributed material is then returned to the secondary mixing twin-shaft mixer via a recycling device.

[0048] S7. Cold pressing

[0049] The mixture from the automatic material feeding system in step S6 is pressed into cold-pressed steel granules using a YL-3000 hydraulic forming machine under a dynamically adjustable hydraulic pressure of 0–315 bar. The shape of the cold-pressed granules can be set to cylindrical, triangular, conical, rectangular, or cubic shapes, depending on the mold. The equivalent diameter of the granules is φ = 50–200 mm, the height is h = 10–60 mm, the weight is m = 1–10 kg / piece, and the density is ρ = 4000–6500 kg / m³. 3 The above parameters can be adjusted according to process requirements; the hydraulic forming machine cold presses 5 to 10 blocks at a time, and presses blocks 3 times per minute. The cold pressing frequency and the number of blocks can be adjusted.

[0050] S8. Finished Product Screening

[0051] After the cold-pressed blocks are formed in step S7, they are graded by roller screen to remove surface-adhered particles, slag, and defective products. The material under the roller screen is returned to the roller mill mixing stage, and the finished product on the screen is effectively stacked or magnetized for reuse.

[0052] S9. Dust Removal and Recycling

[0053] In the S1-S8 process system, dust is recovered through negative pressure dust removal technology in all stages, including steel powder solid waste mixing and proportioning, roller milling, stirring and mixing, inspection and screening, material distribution, and cold pressing. The recovered powder is then fed into the steel powder solid waste mixing and proportioning stage, achieving zero dust emissions throughout the entire production process and meeting environmental protection standards with high quality.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
