Description
200816~
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing high-grade nickel matte in a combination of suspension smelting furnace and electric furnace .
Conventionally high-grade nickel matte i8 manufactured from sulphidic concentrates as follows: first the concentrate is dried and smelted in a suspension smelting furnace to form nickel matte. The nickel matte thus obtained i6 further converted to high-grade nickel matte, where the c~ ' in~d content of nickel and copper is 72-75% by weight, for instance in a Pierce-Smith type converter. In addition to this, the slag from both the suspension smelting furnace and the converter is cleaned in an electric furnace, from which the obtained matte is le~uLlle-l as feed to the converter. The gases created in the process, both from the suspension smelting furnace and from the converter, are collected and used in the production of sulphuric acid.
The above described conventional method for manufacturing high-grade nickel matte is reliable and has been tried and found adequate, but it also has some drawbacks. Such drawbacks are for instance its high investment costs. Iqoreover, the process forms two different gas flows, of which one (the converter gas flow based on the blasting technique) is highly variable in quantity, which makes the gas treatment and sulphuric acid production expensive. The use of the converter also leads to problems with smoke in the working areas, because the converter hood must be shi~ted at different stages of the converting process. Furthermore, the process requires shifting of the molten material from the suspension smelting furnace into the converter, and from the converter to the electric furnace as well as from the electric furnace to the converter. For the above described reasons, the process results in a large amount of intD ~ te *

3 2~81B7 created in the electric furnace is at least partly recirculated back to the suspension smelting furnace. The recirculated matte, which is fed into the suspension smelting furnace either as a granulated product or molten, further reduces the slag from the suspension smelting furnace, and simultAneollqly ~limin;~h~ the amount of the recirculated material. Thus, the method and apparatus of the present invention for manufacturing high-grade nickel matte make it possible to eliminate the use of the converter as one process stage.
Conc~ ntly, the method for manufacturing high-grade nickel matte of the present invention leads to remarkable advantages in comparison with conventional technique. While using granulated matte from an electric furnace as the feed for the suspension smelting furnace, it is unnecessary to shift molten materials in the manufacturing method of the present invention, and as a result smoke problems in the working area are essentially reduced. Accordingly, there are essentially no into ~ te products ~ormed in connection with the manufacture of high-grade nickel matte. Furth,~ e, according to the invention there is created only one essentially even gas flow, which lowers the cost of sulphuric acid production and of gas treatment.
While applying the method and apparatus for manufacturing high-grade nickel matte of the present invention in a new production unit, the space and other facilities required by the converter can be excluded from the very beginning. This makes the production unit more compact and essentially cheaper in investment costs, as compared to the prior art equipment. Accordingly, the demand for labour is reduced owing to the manufacturing method of high-grade nickel matte of the present invention.

the method i6 known as such. However, in the manufacturing method of high-grade nickel matte of the present invention, both the coupling of the equipment together and the method for running the high-grade nickel matte production are 5 essentially different from those of the prior art.
r ~ ?nts of the invention will be described in more detail below, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is an illustration of a preferred 10 embodiment of the invention, seen in a side-view cross-section, and Figure 2 is an illustration of another preferred embodiment of the invention, seen in a side-view cross-section .
According to Figure 1, into the reaction shaft 2 of a suspension smelting furnace 1, there is fed oxidizing gas 3, flux 4, concentrate 5 and matte 6 formed in an electric furnace, as well as flue dust 7 obtained from the cooling 21 of exhaust gases. The gases created in the suspension smelting furnace 1 are removed through uptake shaft 8 to gas treatment in a gas cooling system 21. Slag 9 from the suspension smelting furnace 1 and produced high-grade nickel matte 10 are removed from settler 11 respectively through discharge hatches 19 and 20.
The slag 9 from the suspension smelting furnace is further conveyed to an electric furnace 12, where the 61ag 9 is reduced by means of coke 13 used as the reducing agent. As a result of the reduction process, there is created slag 14 and metallicized matte 15, which are removed from the electric furnace 12 respectively through the discharge hatches 16 and 17. The metallicized matte 15 is subjected to granulation 18 after removal from the furnace. The granulated matte 6 is returned as feed to the suspension smelting furnace, for the production of further high-grade nickel matte.

According to Figure 2, the suspension smelting furnace 1 and an electric furnace 22 are interconnected so that in between the suspension smelting furnace 1 and the electric furnace 22 there is installed a partition wall 23, which prevents the molten high-grade nickel matte 10 produced in the suspension smelting furnace 1 from flowing into the electric furnace 22, but allows the slag 9 from the suspension smelting furnace to flow as an overflow into the electric furnace. The partition wall 23 can be formed of one piece, in which case the wall 23 is common for both the suspension smelting furnace 1 and the electric furnace 22, or alternatively of two pieces, in which case the sections of the wall 23 adjacent the suspension smelting furnace 1 and the electric furnace 22 are separate, and there is formed a connecting duct 24 in between the walls.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
Exam~le The method of the invention was applied to a sulphide concentrate, which contained 6.9~6 by weight nickel, 1.2% by weight copper, 36.3% by weight iron, 26.5%
by weigh sulphur and 11. 5% by weight silicon oxide. The concentrate was fed into the reaction shaft of a flash smelting furnace, and for each ton of concentrate there is also fed 82 kg of matte from an electric furnace, 230 kg of flux, and 98 kg of flue dust separated from the exhaust gases from the flash smelting furnace. In addition to this, there was fed 320 Nm of oxidizing gas with an oxygen enrichment degree of 80% into the reaction shaft per ton of concentrate fed therein.
The product obtained from the settler of the flash smelting furnace was high-grade nickel matte containing 65% by weight of nickel, 10% by weight of copper and 22% by weight of sulphur. Moreover, from the settler of the flash smelting furnace there was obtained slag containing 3% by weigh of nickel, 0.6% by weight of sulphur and 30% by weight of silicon oxide.

The slag from the flash smelting furnace was further cu..v~yed to an electric furnace, where the slag was reduced by means of coke. In the reduction there was formed a slag phase and a metallicized matte phase, which 5 in connection with the removal from the electric furnace was granulated and returned as feed to the flash smelting furnace. On the basis of the slag from the electric furnace, which contained 0.1596 by weight nickel and 0.17%
by weight copper, it was observed that, with the method of 10 the present invention, the obtained recovery rate of the nickel that was fed in the concentrate was 97 . 996 .
