The invention discloses a method for inhibiting elemental
sulfur in top blowing
smelting tail gas of a
copper smelting Ausmelt furnace. The method comprises the following steps: (1) ensuring
sulfur-
oxygen balance in the Ausmelt furnace: strictly controlling the
mass fraction of S in
copper concentrate fed into the furnace to be stabilized at 25-35%; (2) reduction reaction of a
molten pool is reduced, wherein furnace burden
moisture is increased to replace SO2 to be reduced, and meanwhile the use amount of lump
coal is reduced; (3) strengthening a
molten pool sulfur oxidation reaction: increasing the total amount of air and
oxygen of a spray gun, optimizing spray gun parameters and a material drop point position, and enhancing
molten pool stirring and sulfur reaction efficiency; (4) intensifying secondary oxidation of elemental sulfur in the
flue gas: maintaining micro-negative pressure of a
hearth of the Australian furnace to
delay the flow rate of the
flue gas, and increasing blast at the upper part of the
hearth to improve the oxidation
atmosphere; according to the method, the content of elemental sulfur in the
flue gas of the Australian furnace can be remarkably reduced, stable operation of rear-end equipment is guaranteed, equipment does not need to be newly added, low-cost inhibition of elemental sulfur in the top blowing
smelting tail gas of the Australian furnace can be achieved through
process optimization, and stable operation of a
copper smelting
system is effectively guaranteed.
