The invention relates to a process for recycling
zinc and producing molten iron by using iron-containing
zinc dust. The process is characterized by comprising the following steps: S1, uniformly mixing iron-
zinc dust,
iron ore powder and additives in a mixing
machine, feeding the mixture into a
sintering machine to be sintered, crushing and screening the sintered ore, and subsequently feeding into a furnace; S2, uniformly mixing grinded
powder coal with an
adhesive, and pressing into shaped
coal; S3, feeding the sintered ore and the shaped
coal into a
blast furnace so as to react the sintered ore and the shaped coal in the
blast furnace to generate molten iron and zinc vapor, and discharging out the zinc vapor along with dust and
coal gas from the
blast furnace; S4, primarily removing the dust of the
coal gas with the zinc vapor, and subsequently feeding into a
heat exchanger to exchange the heat; S5, feeding the
coal gas after heat exchange into a fine dust remover to remove the dust so as to obtain gas mud, and feeding the gas mud into a
settling pond to be filtered, settled and thickened; and S6,
drying the thickened gas mud so as to obtain
powder rich in zinc. By adopting the process, the problem that the blast furnace production is not smooth because of zinc circulation enrichment in steel companies can be solved, zinc and iron in dust can be economically recycled, carbon can be efficiently utilized, and comprehensive utilization of resources is achieved.
