Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles used as a filler or the like. The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles by processing. 2. Description of the Related Art For example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-145613, silicon dioxide (silica)
It is known to produce inorganic spheroidized particles by passing an inorganic raw material powder such as this through a flame. A high-temperature flame is required to spheroidize the raw material powder in the flame,
Oxygen-gas fuel burners have been used. FIG. 2 is a system diagram showing an example of a conventional apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles. Inorganic raw material powder such as silica is cut out from a usual feeder 1 and conveyed to a sphering burner 2 using oxygen as a carrier gas, for example.
The spheroidizing burner 2 is supplied with oxygen from the oxygen supply facility 3 and fuel gas from the LPG supply facility 4. Particles spheroidized in the flame in the furnace 5 pass through the furnace 6 through the path 6. The temperature is diluted by the air introduced into the chamber 5 and collected by the subsequent cyclone 7 and bag filter 8. [0004] In the apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles as described above, as the inorganic raw material powder, usually,
A material having a wide particle size distribution that is pulverized by a ball mill or the like is used. When a raw material powder having such a wide particle size distribution is injected into the flame of a spheroidizing burner, the behavior of the particles in the flame is such that the smaller the particles, the higher the particle velocity, and the higher the concentration of the particles in the flame. In such a case, the molten coarse particles and the fine particles collide with each other, and thus particles with bumps may be generated. Such particles with knobs need to be removed with a sieve or the like as defective products, and improvements in product yield and productivity have been desired. [0005] Further, if the raw material powder having a small particle size is excessively heated in a flame, it may evaporate to an ultrafine powder.
This ultrafine powder causes clogging of the bag filter at the subsequent stage and is difficult to remove, resulting in various inconveniences. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles, which can prevent the generation of the above-mentioned particles with knobs and also prevent the generation of ultrafine powder due to excessive heating of the raw material powder. I have. [0007] In order to achieve the above object, the apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles of the present invention is provided with a separation device for separating inorganic raw material powder into coarse powder and fine powder. In addition, a spheroidizing burner for coarse powder and a spheroidizing burner for fine powder for separately spheroidizing the separated coarse powder and fine powder are provided. According to the above construction, since the particle size distribution of the inorganic raw material powder supplied to each spheroidizing burner becomes small, the velocity distribution of the raw material powder in the flame also becomes small, and the particles collide with each other. Is reduced, the occurrence of particles with bumps can be suppressed. Further, since the flame temperature can be set according to the particle size distribution, it is possible to prevent the generation of ultrafine powder due to the raw material powder having a small particle size being excessively heated and evaporated in the flame. The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. The apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles shown in FIG. 1 includes a feeder 11 for supplying raw material powder such as silica pulverized by a ball mill, an oxygen supply facility 12 for supplying a carrier gas for transporting the raw material powder, Cyclone 13 as a separation device for separating into granular powder and fine powder
And a sphering burner 15 for coarse powder and a sphering burner 16 for fine powder provided in the sphering furnace 14.
At the subsequent stage of the sphering furnace 14, a cyclone and a bag filter for collecting the generated spheroidized particles are provided as in the conventional case. Each of the two burners 15 and 16 has a fuel supply pipe 21 for supplying fuel such as propane (LPG) and an oxygen supply pipe for supplying oxygen as a supporting gas or oxygen-enriched air. 22, water supply pipe 23 for supplying and discharging cooling water
And a drain pipe 24 is provided. The spheroidizing burners 15 and 16 may have the same configuration as that of the conventional sphering burner, and therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the apparatus having the above structure, the feeder 11
Is supplied from the oxygen supply equipment 12 to the pipe 12
The carrier gas is transported by the transport oxygen gas introduced through a and is introduced into the cyclone 13. In the cyclone 13, the structure of the cyclone 13, the speed of the carrier gas, and the like are appropriately set, for example, the raw material powder is classified into about 10 μm, and the coarse powder of 10 μm or more from the bottom and 10 μm or less from the ceiling are removed. The fine powder is derived respectively. As a result, coarse powder having a particle size of about 10 μm or more is led out from the bottom of the cyclone 13 and supplied to the spheroidizing burner 15 for coarse powder, and approximately 10 μm from the ceiling of the cyclone 13. The fine powder having the following particle size is derived and the spheroidizing burner 1 for fine powder is used.
6. At this time, the fine powder is supplied by the oxygen gas for conveyance through the pipe 13a to the spheroidizing burner 1 for fine powder.
The coarse powder is conveyed to 6 and supplied to the coarse powder sphering burner 15 via a pipe 13b by a part of the transport oxygen gas supplied from the oxygen supply equipment 12 via a branch pipe 12b. Note that, depending on the layout of the apparatus and the properties of the raw material powder, the coarse powder is simply dropped by gravity and the spheroidizing burner 1 for coarse powder is used.
5, the carrier gas from the branch pipe 12b can be omitted. As described above, the raw material powder is classified by the cyclone 13 to separate coarse powder and fine powder having different speeds in the flame, and the fine powder is separated by the spheroidizing burner 15 for coarse powder. By performing the spheroidizing treatment separately with the spheroidizing burner 16 for fine powder, the range of the velocity distribution in the flame is narrowed, and the probability of collision between the particles is reduced. Can be. Further, it is possible to set flame conditions in both burners 15 and 16 in accordance with the particle size distribution of the raw material powder.
In this case, since the flame temperature can be lowered so that the fine particles are not excessively heated and evaporated, the generation of ultrafine powder can be suppressed. The apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the fuel supplied to the spheroidized burner depends on the configuration of the burner.
Any gas, liquid, or solid fuel other than G can be used, and different fuels may be used for both burners. Further, the oxygen concentration of the supporting gas can be appropriately set according to the type of fuel, the structure of the burner, the flame temperature, and the like. Alternatively, oxygen or the like from another oxygen supply facility may be used. Further, a gas other than oxygen can be used as the gas for transporting the raw material powder. It is also possible to separate coarse particles and fine particles in advance by a separation device such as a cyclone and then supply the separated particles to respective burners by separate feeders. What is collected afterwards is not practical because it is extremely aggregated, making uniform transport difficult, easy to produce agglomerated molten products, and expensive. Therefore, as described above, it is desirable that the powder is separated into coarse powder and fine powder immediately before both burners, and is supplied to each burner immediately. When the particle size distribution of the raw material powder supplied from the feeder is considerably wide, it is possible to separate the raw material powder into three or more stages. In this case, only the raw material powder having an appropriate particle size or less should be subjected to spheroidizing treatment. You can also. As described above, the apparatus for producing inorganic spheroidized particles of the present invention is provided with a separation device for separating inorganic spheroidized particles to be spheroidized into coarse particles and fine particles. Since the coarse-grained powder and the fine-grained powder are separately provided with the spheroidizing burner for coarse powder and the spheroidizing burner for fine powder, the particle size distribution of the raw material powder in the flame is narrowed. For this reason, the range of the velocity distribution of the raw material powder in the flame is narrowed, and it is possible to suppress the generation of particles with bumps due to collision of the particles. Also, by setting the flame temperature of the spheroidizing burner for fine particles at a low temperature, excessive heating of the fine particles can be prevented and generation of ultrafine powder can be suppressed, so that it is easy to remove the fine particles with a bag filter. become. As a result, the filtration speed of the bag filter can be increased, and the life of the filter cloth can be extended by downsizing the apparatus and reducing the pressure of the pulse jet gas for removing the bag filter.
