Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of powdered impurity removal agent feeding technology, and in particular to a crude lead refining furnace impurity removal agent feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most of the world's crude lead smelting utilizes a preliminary pyrometallurgical refining process followed by electrolytic refining. Almost all crude lead produced in my country is refined using this process. The crude lead produced from smelting typically has a lead content of 90%–98%, containing precious metals such as Ag and Au, and impurities such as Cu, As, Sb, Sn, Bi, and S. The Cu content is 0.1%–5%. Due to the excessively high impurity content, it cannot be directly refined through electrolytic refining. Electrolytic refining requires the lead anode plate to contain Pb ≥ 98.5% (except for lead-antimony alloys), Cu ≤ 0.06%, As ≤ 0.4%, and Sb controlled at 0.4%–0.8%. The purpose of pyrometallurgical refining is to remove some impurities from the smelted crude lead, enabling it to meet the quality requirements for lead anode plates used in electrolytic refining.
[0003] Copper removal is the first step in crude lead refining. By adding a sulfiding agent (such as lead sulfide), copper is formed into copper sulfide slag, which further improves the efficiency of copper removal. Alkaline refining uses sodium nitrate (NaNO3) as an oxidant to oxidize impurities into sodium salt slag, which is then separated from the lead liquid.
[0004] Chinese patent CN213273724U discloses a continuous crude lead refining furnace. By rotating the baffle 15, the horizontal height of the baffle 15 can be adjusted to control whether the flow port is opened or closed, thereby conveniently controlling whether the heating pool 20 and the high-temperature pool 30 are connected. When the baffle 15 extends to close the flow port, crude lead liquid is introduced into the heating pool 20 through the liquid inlet 16 provided on the side of the furnace body 10. The heating pool 20 is initially heated by the first burner 13 to maintain the temperature in the heating pool 20 at 340°C. Sulfur is added to the heating pool 20 through the additive port, which enables the crude lead liquid to partially separate impurities.
[0005] However, the powdered impurity remover in this technical solution is added to the heating tank entirely through the dosing port using a container. The impurity remover will accumulate in the heating tank below the dosing port. After addition, the agent needs to be stirred. Furthermore, each addition of the impurity remover requires weighing to achieve quantitative addition, resulting in low addition efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a feeding device for a crude lead refining furnace to remove impurities. This device achieves quantitative distribution of the reagent and uniform air delivery through the combination of an air inlet pipe and a feed pipe structure with a metering pipe structure, thus solving the problem of instantaneous dumping of the remover and the need for quantitative weighing.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for a crude lead refining furnace impurity removal agent, comprising a feeding pipe and a storage tank disposed above the feeding pipe, wherein an air inlet pipe is installed at one end of the feeding pipe, and a feeding part with a structure larger than half a circle is provided at the other end of the feeding pipe, wherein a one-way valve is installed at the center of the feeding pipe, and a metering pipe connected to the air inlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the storage tank, and a rotating component is rotatably engaged in the feeding part.
[0008] Preferably, handles are fixed on both sides of the bottom end face of the feed tube, and the bottom ends of the two handles are respectively provided with a first groove and a second groove.
[0009] Preferably, a miniature air pump and a storage battery are respectively embedded and fixed in the first groove and the second groove, and the air delivery end of the miniature air pump is connected to the air inlet pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the rotating component has an air outlet, and the outer wall of the rotating component is bonded and fixed with an anti-slip protrusion.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the storage tank is threaded with a top cover, and the end of the storage tank near the feed pipe is fixed with an installation pipe.
[0012] Preferably, a control valve is installed on both of the mounting pipes, and threaded connections are provided at the adjacent ends of the two mounting pipes.
[0013] Preferably, the metering tube is connected to the air outlet, and both ends of the metering tube are threaded onto two threaded connection parts.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] (1) This utility model has a rotating part that is rotatably connected in the feeding part of the feeding pipe. The rotating part can adjust the angle of the air outlet by rotating in the feeding part. It is suitable for feeding powdered impurity remover at different angles. Air is delivered into the feeding pipe through the micro air pump and air inlet pipe at the bottom of the handle. The air causes the powdered impurity remover that falls in the metering tube to be blown out from the air outlet. During the blowing process, the handle can be used to adjust the angle of the feeding pipe in the heating pool addition port. It is suitable for delivering impurity remover to different positions in the heating pool and avoids the accumulation of impurity remover.
[0016] (2) This utility model has a metering tube fixed between two installation tubes. The control valve on the top installation tube of the feed tube is closed, and the control valve at the bottom of the storage tank is opened. The agent in the storage tank slides down into the metering tube and the control valve at the bottom of the storage tank is closed. When adding the impurity remover, the control valve at the top of the feed tube and the micro air pump are opened to feed air and impurity remover into the crude lead refining furnace in a metered manner. The metering tube of different sizes can be replaced by the threaded connection part. It is suitable for adjusting different amounts of impurity remover. There is no need to weigh the impurity remover, which improves the convenience of metering the impurity remover.
[0017] In summary, this invention has the advantages of avoiding the accumulation of impurity removal agents and quantitative delivery. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are marked with the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 will be described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: the side wall of the rotating component 6 is provided with an air outlet 13, and the outer wall of the rotating component 6 is bonded and fixed with an anti-slip protrusion 14. The rotating component 6 is dampedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding part 5, so that the rotating component 6 can remain fixed in the feeding part 5 after rotation. At the same time, during the rotation of the rotating component 6, the anti-slip protrusion 14 on its outer wall abuts against the feeding part 5 to avoid excessive rotation. The top of the storage tank 7 is threaded with a top cover 8, and the end of the storage tank 7 near the feeding pipe 1 is fixed with an installation pipe 10. A control valve 17 is installed on both installation pipes 10, and the end of both installation pipes 10 near each other is provided with The metering tube 9 is connected to the air outlet 13 via a threaded connection 18. Both ends of the metering tube 9 are threaded onto the two threaded connection parts 18. The control valve 17 on the top mounting pipe 10 of the feed pipe 1 is closed, and the control valve 17 at the bottom of the storage tank 7 is opened. The reagent in the storage tank 7 slides down into the metering tube 9, and the control valve 17 at the bottom of the storage tank 7 is closed. When adding the impurity remover, the control valve 17 at the top of the feed pipe 1 and the micro air pump 3 are opened to feed air and impurity remover into the crude lead refining furnace in a metered manner. By unscrewing the metering tube 9 from the threaded connection part 18 and replacing it with a metering tube 9 of a different size, it is suitable for adjusting different amounts of impurity remover.
[0030] Work steps
