Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and respective apparatus for the recovery of non-ferrous metals from hot dross, immediately after the dross has been removed from the furnace where it has been generated, without allowing the dross to cool.
- this situation occurs in the primary production and recycling operations of aluminium.
- Large volumes of molten aluminium are kept inside holding or re-melting furnaces, before the liquid metal can be transferred to casting units.
- a metal oxide skim continuously forms on the surface of the molten bath.
- the so formed dross must be periodically removed by skimming or similar practice.
- the dross generally contains metallic impurities, nitrides and, particularly, retains a considerable amount of free (non- reacted) aluminium. Because of economic reasons, it is desirable to recover as much as possible of the non-reacted metal that is contained in the dross.
- the dross When the dross is removed from the surface of the molten bath, its temperature may range from 700 to 1000 °C. In contact with atmospheric air, the free aluminium present in the dross continues to react with oxygen. Being strongly exothermic, this reaction results in the heating of the reaction region (which may reach temperatures of the order of 1600 °C), and a fast consumption of the free-metal.
- This type of equipment requires a considerable investment and have a high maintenance cost. Also, this equipment is problematic when processing dross containing large amounts of liquid metal. In this case, it becomes necessary to pre treat the dross, or even to use alternative dross cooling means. Another disadvantage is the fact that this method generates a large amount of fines, which are difficult to process.
- the Patent US4842255 describes a system intended to cool dross that employs a metallic open-top pan to receive hot dross removed from the surface of liquid aluminium bath.
- This recipient being divided into internal open-top partitions, which have thick metallic walls that are intended to provide sufficiently high thermal capacity to act as heat sinks that absorb energy from the dross and, consequently, accelerate dross cooling.
- the pan When the pan has been fully charged with dross, it is transported to a station where a hood shaped cover is well adjusted over the pan forming a closed cavity. An inert gas such as argon is injected into this cavity to displace oxygen and reduce the extent of oxidation of residual metal present in the dross.
- the cooled dross is then transported, usually by long distances, to the recovering units.
- the dross is heated up to a temperature above the melting temperature of the metal, in general using rotary furnaces heated by an external heat source.
- the free metal is melted, it is separated from the solid phase by coalescing initially dispersed portions through the charge agitation effect which is provided by the rotation movement of the furnace.
- the dross is removed from inside the holding or melting furnace, it is charged into an open-top recipient that, when full with dross, is transported directly to a furnace in which temperature homogenisation is carried out. Following the temperature adjustment operation, the dross is transferred from the furnace to a centrifuging equipment. By imposing a determined radial acceleration, the process acts on the difference of density that exists between the liquid and solid phases present in the dross, separating them and thus promoting the liquid metal extraction.
- the Patent US5599379 refers to a method for the recovery of free aluminium from dross that comprises the collection of the hot dross from the interior of a furnace into open-top recipients, and the placement of these recipients inside of a large storage container.
- the storage container is thermally insulated to maintain the dross at or near the temperature it had when it was removed from inside the furnace in which it has been generated.
- An inert gas is then introduced into the storage container to purge the storage container of all gases other than the inert gas.
- the storage container is also provided with an electronic controller that directs the movement of its cover and monitors its internal pressure and temperature. The controller also modulates the flow of the inert gas that is introduced in the storage container to prevent reaction of the free aluminium with oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere. After a certain amount of dross has been accumulated, the method includes the transference of the dross for batch processing operation into a rotary furnace.
- the present invention refers to a method and respective apparatus for the recovery of the free metal present in hot dross which is produced when non-ferrous metals are processed at temperatures above their melting point.
- the method consists of charging the hot dross directly into an equipment provided with thermal insulation and means for control of its internal atmosphere through the introduction of an inert gas into the collection recipient.
- the dross is kept under well controlled atmosphere and conditions that provide the minimal heat loss right after it has been removed from the bath surface of holding or melting furnaces, independently whether the collection recipient is partially or totally full.
- the collection recipient partially or totally full of dross, it is transported to a free- metal separation unit located as close as possible to the local where the dross is generated.
- the equipment used for the recovery of non-ferrous metals present in hot dross object of the present invention, consists of a recipient for the collection of hot dross provided with thermally insulated walls and bottom, and a also thermally isolated cover that is well adjusted to the body of the recipient, a device for lifting and transferring the hot dross from the interior of the collection recipient into a feeding device well adjusted to the door of a sealed furnace that acts both as a dross accumulator and in the separation of the free metal separation from the dross.
- the method and equipment here disclosed avoids unnecessary handling of dross, which includes dross cooling, dross storage, transportation of dross for long distances up to the dross recovery centre, dross upgrading operations such as crushing of large blocks which form during the cooling operation, consequent formation of fines which are difficult to process, and all the additional costs that occur along with such operations.
- the use of the method and equipment presently disclosed allows the recovery of the free metal according to simple operations, minimising losses of both metal and energy during the operations of collection of the dross and its transportation to the separation equipment, and without using sophisticated and expensive equipment like centrifuges, or storage centres provided with complex control devices which have to be heated up in order to maintain the dross at a temperature close to the temperature it had when removed from the liquid bath, which may required the use of external heating sources or, in order to provide extra energy, may even burn part of the metal which can be recovered.
- the present method has the advantage of keeping the dross under a atmosphere with low oxygen activity and thermally insulated immediately after the dross has been removed from the furnace where it has been generated, allowing the maximum optimisation possible with respect to both metal recovery and energy efficiencies.
- the skimming or equivalent operation is typically irregular, may occur in cycles that take few hours up to a complete working shift, the quantities of dross removed in each skimming operation are in general small and, therefore may require long term waiting periods of the collection recipient aside a single generation furnace, all of which profit of the fact that the collection recipient employed in the present invention is tightly sealed and well thermally insulated.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the process
- the operation of removing the dross (5) from the surface of the liquid bath (2) in the interior of the holding or melting furnace (1) is carried out according to the current state of the art of the skimming or equivalent operation, as carried out in the industrial units that include liquid metal processing.
- the dross (5) is then introduced into a collection recipient
- a dross treatment centre located as close as possible of the furnace in which the dross is generated, which contains one or more sealed rotary furnaces (6) that work both in the accumulation of dross (5) and separation of the dross into liquid metal (8) and dry solid non-metallic residue (9).
- the transfer of the dross (5) from the interior of the collection recipient (3) to the interior of a rotary furnace (6) is done by means of a lifting and tilting device (7), which may be supported by an ancillary transfer device well adjusted to the rotary furnace (6) door.
- the temperature of the interior of this furnace is risen to a level which is higher than the melting point of the metal contained in the dross, and the furnace charge is agitated by means of the rotation movement of the furnace in order to separate the liquid and solid phase.
- Control and adjustment of the temperature in the interior of the rotary furnace (6), at a level which is higher than the melting point of the metal is carried out by means of an external energy source, preferably using plasma or electric arc in a salt free metal recovery process.
- adjustment and control of the temperature inside the rotary furnace (6) can be carried out by the use of a flame produced by the combustion of oil or gas with oxygen form air, air mixed with extra oxygen, or pure oxygen, in a specific burning device, or by the use of the energy released by the partial oxidation of the free mental contained in the dross, obtained from controlled introduction of oxygen or any other oxidising agent into the rotary furnace (6), or by the combination of any of the possible heating means described above.
- the liquid phase molten metal
- the liquid phase is then tapped preferably into a thermally insulated ladle (10) and sent back to the melting/holding furnace (1), or alternatively tapped into a crucible or any equivalent device.
- the return of the liquid metal then recovered to the melting/holding furnace (1) is convenient because of the considerable increment in energy savings which are allowed by this procedure.
- the recipient (3) for the collection and transport of the dross (5) is a recipient provided with one or more compartments (the top view of Figure 2D shows a recipient with two compartments), with side walls (20) and bottom (33) thermally insulated, and preferably with its walls (20) internally inclined at an angle ( ⁇ ) greater than 90° with respect to the bottom (33) of the recipient, to facilitate the discharging operation of the dross (5).
- the recipient (3) for the collection and transportation is provided with guiding holes (21) for lifting and transportation by an appropriate vehicle or, alternatively, provided with wheels (32) for free movement over floor or guided movement over rails, and with supports (22) for lifting and unloading the dross (5) directly into the interior of the rotary furnace (6), or over any ancillary transfer equipment, using an appropriate lifting device (7).
- the collection recipient (3) is provided with a top cover (23) that is also thermally insulated, and which may be provided with handles (24) to manually open the cover, provided or not with a pivot (25) and counterweight (26) to facilitate its opening, an inert gas injection port (27), and, alternatively, a smaller cover (29) provided with a handle (30) for the introduction of dross, using or not an ancillary device (34), adjusted to the same (28).
- a top cover (23) that is also thermally insulated, and which may be provided with handles (24) to manually open the cover, provided or not with a pivot (25) and counterweight (26) to facilitate its opening, an inert gas injection port (27), and, alternatively, a smaller cover (29) provided with a handle (30) for the introduction of dross, using or not an ancillary device (34), adjusted to the same (28).
- the top cover (23) is preferentially well adjusted to the recipient by the immersion of its borders into a powder seal (31) which may be composed by an oxide of the metal being processed, like aluminium oxide powder in case of recovering aluminium from dross, or a fine powder extracted from the non-metallic residues (9) of the metal recovery process, or any other powder which might be convenient for the process, as for example a powder which presents capacity for oxygen absorption.
