Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corundum smelting technology, and in particular to a corundum smelting apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In corundum smelting, the traditional process often adopts a combined method of "rotary kiln preheating and roasting - electric arc furnace melting and smelting". That is, the rotary kiln first preheats the raw materials, removes moisture and volatiles, and then the roasted material is transported to the electric arc furnace for high-temperature melting reaction. However, the existing combined device has significant defects: First, the high-temperature flue gas generated during the rotary kiln roasting process contains a large amount of waste heat. Existing technologies mostly discharge it directly through the chimney without effective recovery, resulting in low energy utilization and increased overall smelting energy consumption. Second, the emitted flue gas contains pollutants such as dust and SO2. Direct emission requires additional tail gas treatment equipment, which increases environmental protection costs. Moreover, the non-recycled flue gas also reduces the utilization rate of useful components in the raw materials. At the same time, the electric arc furnace smelting requires additional fuel to maintain the high temperature, without utilizing the combustion or preheating effect of the rotary kiln flue gas, further increasing energy consumption. Therefore, designing a corundum smelting device has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of corundum smelting. Utility Model Content

[0020] The other end of the rotary kiln body 1 is provided with a raw material inlet 28, which is used to put in smelting raw materials.

[0021] Working principle: The smelting raw materials are fed into the rotary kiln body 1 through the raw material inlet 28. Inside the rotary kiln body 1, the raw materials undergo preliminary heating and pretreatment (such as drying and pre-decomposition). The pre-treated material is discharged from the rotary kiln outlet 4 and is received by the screw conveyor 3. Through the screw conveyor 3, the material is conveyed through the electric arc furnace inlet 5 into the electric arc furnace body 2. Inside the electric arc furnace body 2, the subsequent high-temperature smelting process is completed, producing corundum products. The flue gas generated inside the rotary kiln body 1 is discharged from the first flue gas outlet 10 and enters the circulating main pipe 6 and the electric arc furnace. The flue gas generated inside the main body 2 is discharged from the second flue gas outlet 19 and flows into the circulation main pipe 6 through the flue gas recovery pipe 13. Ultimately, the two flue gas streams converge within the circulation main pipe 6. The converged flue gas then enters the cyclone dust collector 20 along the circulation main pipe 6, where centrifugal force separates large dust particles. After passing through the cyclone dust collector, the flue gas enters the bag filter 21 through the first connecting pipe 23 for further filtration of fine dust particles. It then enters the desulfurization tower 22 through the second connecting pipe 24 to remove sulfides from the flue gas. The purified flue gas then enters the subsequent heating stage through the third connecting pipe 25. The purified flue gas is supplied by the circulating fan 26. Power is supplied to the electric heater 27, which heats the flue gas to the required temperature for subsequent reuse. The heated flue gas then enters the diversion pipe 7, which splits it into two paths, one for reuse inside the rotary kiln body 1 and the other for reuse inside the electric arc furnace body 2. A portion of the flue gas is returned to the rotary kiln body 1 via the first branch pipe 8 and the other through the first flue gas return inlet 11. A second temperature sensor 15 is installed at the end of the diversion pipe 7 near the first branch pipe 8 to monitor the temperature of the flue gas in this path in real time. If the temperature does not meet the requirements for reuse in the rotary kiln, the first flow regulating valve 17 will adjust the flow rate based on the temperature data. The flue gas flow rate is adjusted to ensure that the temperature of the returned flue gas is suitable for the rotary kiln process. Another part of the flue gas enters the electric arc furnace through the second flue gas return inlet 12 via the second branch pipe 9. A third temperature sensor 16 is installed at the end of the diversion pipe 7 near the second branch pipe 9 to monitor the temperature of the flue gas in real time. If the temperature does not meet the requirements for reuse in the electric arc furnace, the second flow regulating valve 18 will adjust the flue gas flow rate according to the temperature data to ensure that the temperature of the returned flue gas is suitable for the electric arc furnace process. In addition, the first temperature sensor 14 installed on the main circulation pipe 6 can monitor the initial temperature of the untreated flue gas in real time, providing a reference for the parameter adjustment of the subsequent purification and heating stages.
