Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gas suspension flash roasting furnace equipment, specifically to a preheating cyclone tube for a roasting furnace with a material feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In alumina production, the gas suspension flash roaster is a crucial piece of equipment. It dries, dehydrates, and transforms the filtered, qualified aluminum hydroxide through its drying, roasting, and cooling sections, converting it into alumina. Compared to rotary kilns, it offers advantages such as smaller footprint, higher heat utilization, more stable product quality, and lower maintenance costs. In the gas suspension flash roaster process, aluminum hydroxide is produced by air-powered preheating, roasting, and cooling within multiple cyclones. The separation and material distribution within the preheating cyclones are critical for the efficient operation of the roaster. Currently, most gas suspension flash roasters use stainless steel for the material distribution device at the cyclone outlet. However, stainless steel has a different coefficient of thermal expansion than the surrounding castable material, making it prone to detachment when heated.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a preheating cyclone for roasting furnaces with a long service life and low failure rate to improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a cyclone separator for a roasting furnace with a feeding device, the specific solution of which is as follows:
[0005] A preheating cyclone for a roasting furnace with a material-feeding device includes: a cyclone and a material-feeding device on the side wall of the cyclone. The lower part of the cyclone is an inverted conical structure, and the upper part is a cylindrical structure. The material-feeding device is a box structure. The lower surface of the box is inclined downward, forming an angle greater than 30° and less than 80° with the outer wall of the cyclone. The lower surface extends into the cyclone, and the horizontal projection length of the lower surface extending into the cyclone is 80-120mm. The top surface of the material-feeding device is not higher than the upper edge of the cyclone. A material inlet is opened on the top surface of the material-feeding device and connected to a cylindrical material discharge pipe. The cyclone and the material-feeding device are integrally formed and are both made of castable refractory. The angle formed by the portion of the lower surface of the material-feeding device extending into the cyclone and the vertical direction is less than 90°, and is at least 10° larger than the angle formed by the portion outside the cyclone and the side wall of the cyclone.
[0006] Furthermore, the angle formed between the lower surface of the housing and the outer wall of the cyclone is greater than 45° and less than 80°.
[0007] Furthermore, the horizontal projection length of the lower surface of the housing extending into the cyclone is 100mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the fabric-making device is flush with the upper edge of the cyclone.
[0009] Furthermore, the top and bottom surfaces of the fabric feeding device are parallel and both tilted downwards, and the feeding pipe is vertical and parallel to the cyclone.
[0010] Furthermore, the cyclone and the fabric distribution device are integrally formed and made of aluminum silicate castable.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By improving the material of the cyclone separator material distribution device in the roasting furnace, this utility model uses castable refractory for integral molding, avoiding the problem of detachment due to different expansion coefficients caused by different materials. This extends the service life of the material distribution device in the roasting furnace cyclone separator, effectively reducing the number of production failures caused by material distribution device detachment in the gas suspension flash roasting furnace, and improving the effective operating rate of the roasting furnace. Furthermore, the material distribution device is extended into the cyclone separator by about 100mm, achieving a stronger overall air-material interaction effect, ensuring thorough mixing of material and gas, and sufficient preheating. This further reduces the temperature difference between the main furnace and the hot cyclone separator by 33%, increases the preheated air temperature by 5℃, and can reduce the main furnace temperature by 5℃-10℃ while ensuring product quality, thereby also achieving the goal of reducing roasting energy consumption.
