[0039] 次に、以上のように構成された有価金属回収装置 1を用いて、廃棄物から有価金属 を回収する方法について説明する。本実施形態の有価金属回収装置 1は、油、ブラ スチック、有機塗料、ゴム、布、紙、木材などの可燃廃棄物を含む切粉や細断状の廃 棄物(例えば、油付きのアルミニウム又は銅の切粉や、プラスチック付きのサッシ屑、 缶類、金属スクラップなどが粉砕'細断されたもの)のように、細かい或いは薄いため に比表面積が比較的大きい廃棄物から、アルミニウム、銅、亜鉛、錫、貴金属などの 有価金属を高歩留まりで回収するのに好適である。 Next, a method for recovering valuable metal from waste using the valuable metal recovery apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described. The valuable metal recovery device 1 of the present embodiment is a chip or shredded waste containing combustible waste such as oil, plastic, organic paint, rubber, cloth, paper, and wood (for example, aluminum with oil). Or wastes with a relatively large specific surface area, such as copper chips, sash scraps with plastic, cans, metal scrap, etc. It is suitable for recovering valuable metals such as zinc, tin and noble metals with a high yield.
[0040] まず、撹拌羽根 442を上方に待避させてタワー本体 41を移動させることにより、容 器本体 151の上方を開放し、回収される有価金属と同じ材料からなるインゴットを容 器本体 151内に収容する。そして、タワー本体 41を容器本体 151の直上に移動させ て密閉し、燃焼パーナ 20から燃焼室 13に高温の燃焼ガスを供給することにより、容 器本体 151内のインゴットを溶解する。燃焼室の温度は、回収する有価金属の溶融 温度を考慮して適宜設定すればよぐ例えば、金属廃棄物がアルミ飲料缶やアルミ 切粉等のようなアルミニウム材の場合、燃焼室 13の温度を約 900°Cに設定すること ができる。燃焼室 13の温度は、温度センサ(図示せず)などでモニタリングしながら燃 焼パーナ 20におけるメインパーナ及びパイロットパーナのオン/オフ制御や、給気 口 132のバルブ 132aの開度調整などにより、燃焼量や空気比を調節して所望の温 度に設定可能である。 [0040] First, the stirring blade 442 is retracted upward and the tower main body 41 is moved to open the upper portion of the container main body 151, and an ingot made of the same material as the valuable metal to be recovered is contained in the container main body 151. To house. Then, the tower main body 41 is moved directly above the container main body 151 and sealed, and high temperature combustion gas is supplied from the combustion burner 20 to the combustion chamber 13, thereby melting the ingot in the container main body 151. The temperature of the combustion chamber should be set appropriately in consideration of the melting temperature of the valuable metal to be recovered.For example, when the metal waste is an aluminum material such as an aluminum beverage can or aluminum chips, the temperature of the combustion chamber 13 Can be set to about 900 ° C. While the temperature of the combustion chamber 13 is monitored by a temperature sensor (not shown), the combustion is performed by on / off control of the main and pilot burners in the combustion burner 20 and by adjusting the opening of the valve 132a of the supply port 132. It can be set to the desired temperature by adjusting the volume and air ratio.
[0041] インゴットが溶解され元湯が貯留されたことを耐熱カメラ 46で確認した後、撹拌羽根 442を降下させて溶湯内に浸漬させて撹拌装置 44を作動させ、撹拌羽根 442を回 転する。容器本体 151の溶湯は、撹拌羽根 442の回転により旋回され、渦流が発生 する。これにより、溶湯の液面 Lは、図示のように容器本体 151の内面と接する部分 が持ち上げられるため、貯留された溶湯は、排出流路 154の上方案内部 156を経て 出湯管 156bに案内される。そして、蓋体 156cを取り外すことにより、溶湯を外部に 供給すること力できる。本実施形態においては、排出流路 154の溶湯排出口 156a 、撹拌羽根 442よりも上方に形成されているため、投入装置 42及び撹拌装置 44を 停止すると、溶湯の供給も停止される。したがって、有価金属からなる溶湯の供給及
び停止を、投入装置 42及び撹拌装置 44の作動状態に連動させることができる。また 、排出流路 154の内部が溶湯により常時満たされた状態になるため、加熱容器 15の 内部で発生した未燃ガス等力 溶湯排出口 156aから外部に放出されるのを防止す ること力 Sでさる。 [0041] After confirming that the ingot is melted and the main hot water is stored with the heat-resistant camera 46, the stirring blade 442 is lowered and immersed in the molten metal to operate the stirring device 44, and the stirring blade 442 is rotated. . The molten metal in the container body 151 is swirled by the rotation of the stirring blade 442 to generate a vortex. As a result, the liquid level L of the molten metal is lifted at the portion in contact with the inner surface of the container body 151 as shown in the figure, so that the stored molten metal is guided to the outlet pipe 156b via the upper guide part 156 of the discharge channel 154. The The molten metal can be supplied to the outside by removing the lid 156c. In the present embodiment, since the molten metal discharge port 156a of the discharge channel 154 is formed above the stirring blade 442, the supply of the molten metal is stopped when the charging device 42 and the stirring device 44 are stopped. Therefore, supply of molten metal consisting of valuable metals and The stoppage can be linked to the operating state of the charging device 42 and the stirring device 44. In addition, since the inside of the discharge channel 154 is always filled with the molten metal, it is possible to prevent the unburned gas, etc. generated inside the heating vessel 15 from being discharged from the molten metal outlet 156a to the outside. Touch with S.
[0042] そして、撹拌装置 44の作動開始と共に、投入装置 42のスクリューコンベア 423を作 動させ、ホッパ 422から廃棄物を投入する。投入された廃棄物は、スクリューコンベア 423によりタワー本体 41に向けて搬送され、開口 15aを介して容器本体 151に落下 する。開口 15aは予熱タワー 40により密閉されているので、容器本体 151内に落下し た廃棄物の燃焼に伴い、容器本体 151の内部が無酸素状態又は低酸素状態となり 、燃焼が還元雰囲気下で行われる。本実施形態においては、容器本体 151を支持 する支持台 14に通気部 141が形成されているので、燃焼ガスは、容器本体 151の側 壁だけでなく底部とも接触し、加熱容器 15の全体を効率よく加熱することができる。こ のような加熱容器 15の伝熱を利用した間接加熱により廃棄物を還元燃焼させること で、廃棄物に含まれる有価金属の酸化を抑制することができる。容器本体 151には、 必要に応じてヤシの実やプラスチックなどの炭化を促進する材料を投入し、還元雰 囲気を強化するようにしてもよい。このように、金属廃棄物を還元雰囲気で溶融するこ とにより、溶融金属の酸化を防ぎ、有価金属としての回収を容易に行うことができる。 [0042] Then, along with the start of the operation of the stirring device 44, the screw conveyor 423 of the input device 42 is operated to input waste from the hopper 422. The thrown-in waste is transported toward the tower main body 41 by the screw conveyor 423 and falls to the container main body 151 through the opening 15a. Since the opening 15a is hermetically sealed by the preheating tower 40, the combustion inside the container body 151 becomes anoxic or low-oxygen state due to the combustion of the waste that has fallen into the container body 151, and the combustion is performed in a reducing atmosphere. Is called. In this embodiment, since the ventilation portion 141 is formed in the support base 14 that supports the container main body 151, the combustion gas contacts not only the side wall but also the bottom of the container main body 151, and the entire heating container 15 is It can be heated efficiently. By reducing and burning the waste by indirect heating using the heat transfer of the heating container 15 as described above, oxidation of valuable metals contained in the waste can be suppressed. The container body 151 may be filled with a material that promotes carbonization, such as coconut or plastic, if necessary, so as to enhance the reducing atmosphere. Thus, by melting metal waste in a reducing atmosphere, oxidation of the molten metal can be prevented and recovery as a valuable metal can be easily performed.
[0043] 容器本体 151に落下した粉砕状の廃棄物は、撹拌羽根 442の回転により発生した 渦流により、溶湯中に速やかに巻き込まれて潜り込んだ状態になる。この結果、廃棄 物中の有価金属は外気と接触せずに溶融するため、有価金属の酸化をより確実に 防止すること力 Sできる。有価金属以外の油、塗料、プラスチックなどの可燃性廃棄物 については、熱分解によりガス状となって放出される。投入装置 42は、被処理物を溶 湯中にできる限り速やかに潜り込ませることができるように、攪拌羽根 442の回転によ る渦流内に被処理物を分散落下させるように配置されて!/、ることが好まし!/、。本実施 形態においては、タワー本体 41の内周面と中心軸線との略中間位置に廃棄物排出 口 425が形成されており、渦流内の溶湯面に被処理物を略均一に分散させることが できる。 [0043] The pulverized waste that has fallen into the container main body 151 is quickly caught in the molten metal by the vortex generated by the rotation of the stirring blade 442, and is in a state of being submerged. As a result, valuable metals in the waste melt without coming into contact with the outside air, so it is possible to more reliably prevent oxidation of valuable metals. Combustible waste such as oil, paints and plastics other than valuable metals are released in the form of gas by thermal decomposition. The charging device 42 is arranged to disperse and drop the processing object into the vortex generated by the rotation of the stirring blade 442 so that the processing object can enter the molten metal as quickly as possible! / I prefer to do that! In the present embodiment, the waste discharge port 425 is formed at a substantially intermediate position between the inner peripheral surface of the tower body 41 and the central axis, and the object to be treated can be distributed substantially uniformly on the molten metal surface in the vortex. it can.
[0044] また、容器本体 151の内周面にリング状のガイド板を設ける等して、溶湯の表面に
堆積され渦流の遠心力により径方向外方に移動する被処理物を、ガイド板の下面に よって溶湯内に速やかに潜り込ませるように構成してもよ!/、。 [0044] Further, by providing a ring-shaped guide plate on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 151, the surface of the molten metal The object to be processed, which is deposited and moves radially outward by the centrifugal force of the vortex, may be configured to be quickly submerged into the melt by the lower surface of the guide plate!
[0045] 燃焼室 13の内部は、高温の燃焼ガスが排気口 131を介して煙道 30を上昇すること によって負圧になるため、加熱容器 15の加熱により廃棄物から発生した水蒸気や有 機系物質等の未燃ガスは、連通部 153から燃焼室 13に導出される。この未燃ガスは 、燃焼室 13で燃焼されて燃焼ガスとなり、燃焼パーナ 20の燃焼ガスと共に排気口 13 1から排出される。本実施形態においては、燃焼パーナ 20が排気口 131よりも上方 に配置されており、燃焼パーナ 20から噴射される燃焼ガスが燃焼室 13の壁面に沿 つて旋回するため、未燃ガスを燃焼室 13内において十分撹拌できると共に、燃焼室 13内における未燃ガスの燃焼時間を十分確保することができる。この結果、燃焼室 1 3における未燃ガスの完全燃焼を促すことができ、排気をクリーンな状態に維持し、 煙、臭気、塵灰などの排出を防止することができる。 [0045] Since the combustion chamber 13 has a negative pressure due to the high-temperature combustion gas rising up the flue 30 through the exhaust port 131, water vapor generated from waste due to heating of the heating container 15 and organic Unburned gas such as a system material is led out from the communication part 153 to the combustion chamber 13. This unburned gas is burned in the combustion chamber 13 to become a combustion gas, and is discharged from the exhaust port 131 together with the combustion gas of the combustion pan 20. In the present embodiment, the combustion burner 20 is disposed above the exhaust port 131, and the combustion gas injected from the combustion burner 20 swirls along the wall surface of the combustion chamber 13. It is possible to sufficiently stir in 13 and to ensure a sufficient combustion time of unburned gas in the combustion chamber 13. As a result, complete combustion of the unburned gas in the combustion chamber 13 can be promoted, the exhaust can be maintained in a clean state, and emission of smoke, odor, dust ash and the like can be prevented.
[0046] また、本実施形態においては、給気口 132から燃焼用空気を燃焼室 13に導入する ことができるので、燃焼パーナ 20から燃焼室 13に導入される空気量が不足する場合 に、この不足分を補って、燃焼室 13内における完全燃焼を確実にすることができる。 In the present embodiment, since combustion air can be introduced into the combustion chamber 13 from the air supply port 132, when the amount of air introduced into the combustion chamber 13 from the combustion partner 20 is insufficient, This shortage can be compensated to ensure complete combustion in the combustion chamber 13.
[0047] 燃焼パーナ 20から供給される燃焼ガスの温度は、未燃ガスやダイォキシン類など の完全燃焼を促す観点から 800°C以上であることが好ましぐ 850°C以上であること 力はり好ましい。燃焼温度の上限は、使用材料の耐熱性などを考慮して決定されるが 、例えば、本実施形態のように黒鉛坩堝を使用する場合には、約 1500°Cの高温使 用も可能である。 [0047] The temperature of the combustion gas supplied from the combustion pan 20 is preferably 800 ° C or higher from the viewpoint of promoting complete combustion of unburned gas and dioxins, etc. preferable. The upper limit of the combustion temperature is determined in consideration of the heat resistance of the material used, but for example, when using a graphite crucible as in this embodiment, it can be used at a high temperature of about 1500 ° C. .
[0048] 加熱容器 15が十分加熱されて、加熱容器 15から燃焼室 13に未燃ガスが連続的に 供給される状態になると、燃焼パーナ 20の燃焼量を低減することができる。例えば、 燃焼パーナ 20のメインバーナを停止し、パイロットパーナのみを燃焼させるようにして もよく、或いは、燃焼パーナ 20への燃料の供給を停止し、燃焼パーナ 20からは常温 の空気のみを供給するようにしてもよい。この際、給気口 132のバルブ 132aの開度 を調整して、燃焼室 13の内部が最適な空燃比となるように制御することができる。特 に、 PET樹脂や塩化ビュル樹脂などのように熱量が高い材料を含む廃棄物の場合 は、大きな自己燃焼熱が得られるので、サーマルリサイクルにより、燃焼パーナ 20の
消費燃料を低減できると共に、排出口 131から排出される高温の排気ガスをボイラや 乾燥などに有効利用することができる。このように、本実施形態の有価金属回収装置 は、廃棄物から有価金属を効率よく回収できるだけでなぐ可燃性廃棄物の燃焼熱も 資源として有効回収でき、熱エネルギの創成による応用展開も可能である。 [0048] When the heating container 15 is sufficiently heated and the unburned gas is continuously supplied from the heating container 15 to the combustion chamber 13, the combustion amount of the combustion burner 20 can be reduced. For example, the main burner of the combustion burner 20 may be stopped and only the pilot burner may be burned, or the fuel supply to the combustion burner 20 is stopped and only air at normal temperature is supplied from the combustion burner 20 You may do it. At this time, the opening degree of the valve 132a of the air supply port 132 can be adjusted to control the inside of the combustion chamber 13 to have an optimum air-fuel ratio. In particular, in the case of waste containing materials with high calorific values, such as PET resin and chlorinated resin, large self-combustion heat can be obtained. The fuel consumption can be reduced and the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the discharge port 131 can be effectively used for boilers and drying. As described above, the valuable metal recovery device of the present embodiment can effectively recover the combustion heat of combustible waste, which can recover valuable metals from waste efficiently, and can be applied by creating thermal energy. is there.
[0049] 給気口 132から燃焼室 13内に導入する気体は、空気以外に、酸素など他の支燃 性ガスであってもよぐこれによつて、燃焼室 13内における完全燃焼を促すことができ [0049] The gas introduced into the combustion chamber 13 from the air supply port 132 may be other combustion-supporting gas such as oxygen in addition to air, thereby promoting complete combustion in the combustion chamber 13. It is possible
[0050] 本実施形態の有価金属回収装置 1は、還元燃焼が可能な加熱容器 15内において 、連続投入する廃棄物を速やかに溶湯内に潜り込ませることにより、溶湯の酸化を確 実に防止して高品質の有価金属を回収できるようにしたことを特徴とするものである。 したがって、大きな処理能力を得るためには、なるべく多量の廃棄物を湯面上に堆積 させずに短時間で溶湯中に巻き込むことが好ましい。このためには、撹拌羽根 442 の回転による溶湯の旋回速度を大きくすると共に、容器本体 151の内径も大きくする ことが好ましい。例えば、廃棄物の最大処理能力として、約 100〜3000kg/hが必 要な場合、内径が、約 400〜; 1200mmの容器本体 151を使用し、溶湯の旋回速度 力 最も速い最外周で約 3〜30m/secとなるように、撹拌羽根 442の回転速度を設 定すればよい。このような撹拌羽根 442の回転を実現するためには、約 100〜500r pmの回転速度で回転可能な可変式回転撹拌プロペラ装置を用いることが好ましい。 なお、容器本体 151の内径を大きくすることは、溶湯の貯留量も大きくなつて溶湯温 度を維持し易いことから、安定した連続溶解処理を可能にする観点からも好ましい。 [0050] The valuable metal recovery device 1 of the present embodiment reliably prevents oxidation of the molten metal by quickly submerging the continuously charged waste into the molten metal in the heating vessel 15 capable of reducing combustion. This is characterized in that high-quality valuable metals can be recovered. Therefore, in order to obtain a large treatment capacity, it is preferable to entrap as much waste as possible in the molten metal in a short time without depositing it on the molten metal surface. For this purpose, it is preferable to increase the swirl speed of the molten metal by the rotation of the stirring blade 442 and to increase the inner diameter of the container main body 151. For example, when a maximum waste disposal capacity of about 100 to 3000 kg / h is required, a container body 151 with an inner diameter of about 400 to 1200 mm is used, and the swirl speed of the melt is about 3 at the fastest outermost circumference. What is necessary is just to set the rotational speed of the stirring blade 442 so that it may be set to -30m / sec. In order to realize such rotation of the stirring blade 442, it is preferable to use a variable rotary stirring propeller device that can rotate at a rotational speed of about 100 to 500 rpm. Increasing the inner diameter of the container main body 151 is also preferable from the viewpoint of enabling stable continuous melting treatment because the molten metal storage amount is increased and the molten metal temperature is easily maintained.
[0051] 以上、本発明の一実施形態について詳述したが、本発明の具体的な態様は上記 実施形態に限定されない。本実施形態の有価金属回収装置 1は、加熱容器 15内に 投入する廃棄物を溶湯中に潜り込ませて溶融するため、高品質の有価金属を高歩 留まりで回収するためには、加熱容器 15を十分加熱することができる構成が好ましい 。そこで、図 2に示すように、燃焼室 1301の内部に隔壁 1302を配置することにより、 燃焼室 1301を、加熱容器 15を収容する第 1燃焼室 1303と、第 1燃焼室 1303を取 り囲む第 2燃焼室 1304とを備える 2重構造としてもよい。なお、図 2において、図 1に 示す構成と同様の構成部分には、同一の符号を付している。
[0052] 図 2に示す有価金属回収装置 101は、隔壁 1302の上端と保持体 152の下面との 間に隙間が形成されている。また、容器本体 151の上端にはリング状のフランジ部 1 511が固定されており、フランジ部 1511の外縁部が、前記隙間を介して第 2の燃焼 室 1304に延在している。これにより、フランジ部 1511と保持体 152との間に、加熱 容器 15の内部と第 2燃焼室 1304とを連通する連通部 1531が形成されている。連通 部 1531は、第 1燃焼室 1303を経ずに第 2燃焼室 1304と直接連通しており、リング 状のフィルタ 1531aが交換可能に配置されている。 [0051] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, a specific aspect of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The valuable metal recovery apparatus 1 of the present embodiment melts the waste thrown into the heating container 15 into the molten metal. Therefore, in order to recover high-quality valuable metal at a high yield, the heating container 15 The structure which can fully heat is preferable. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, by disposing a partition wall 1302 inside the combustion chamber 1301, the combustion chamber 1301 surrounds the first combustion chamber 1303 that houses the heating container 15 and the first combustion chamber 1303. A double structure including the second combustion chamber 1304 may be used. In FIG. 2, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the valuable metal recovery apparatus 101 shown in FIG. 2, a gap is formed between the upper end of the partition wall 1302 and the lower surface of the holding body 152. A ring-shaped flange portion 1511 is fixed to the upper end of the container main body 151, and an outer edge portion of the flange portion 1511 extends to the second combustion chamber 1304 via the gap. Thus, a communication portion 1531 that connects the inside of the heating container 15 and the second combustion chamber 1304 is formed between the flange portion 1511 and the holding body 152. The communication portion 1531 directly communicates with the second combustion chamber 1304 without passing through the first combustion chamber 1303, and a ring-shaped filter 1531a is disposed so as to be replaceable.
[0053] 第 1燃焼室 1303の下部には、第 1の燃焼パーナ 201が配置され、第 2の燃焼室 13 04の上部には、第 2の燃焼パーナ 202が配置されている。第 1の燃焼パーナ 201及 び第 2の燃焼パーナ 202の構成は、図 1に示す燃焼パーナ 20と同様であるため、説 明を省略する。第 1の燃焼パーナ 201により第 1燃焼室 1303で生成された燃焼ガス は、フランジ部 1511と隔壁 1302の上端との間に形成された燃焼ガス排出部 1305を 介して、第 2燃焼室 1304に排出される。第 1燃焼室 1303と第 2燃焼室 1304との間 には、周方向に沿って複数のスぺーサ 1306が配置されており、第 2燃焼室 1304の 室内が所定の大きさに保持されている。 [0053] A first combustion burner 201 is disposed below the first combustion chamber 1303, and a second combustion burner 202 is disposed above the second combustion chamber 1304. The configuration of the first combustion burner 201 and the second combustion burner 202 is the same as that of the combustion burner 20 shown in FIG. Combustion gas generated in the first combustion chamber 1303 by the first combustion burner 201 enters the second combustion chamber 1304 via a combustion gas discharge portion 1305 formed between the flange portion 1511 and the upper end of the partition wall 1302. Discharged. A plurality of spacers 1306 are disposed along the circumferential direction between the first combustion chamber 1303 and the second combustion chamber 1304, and the interior of the second combustion chamber 1304 is maintained at a predetermined size. Yes.
[0054] このように構成された有価金属回収装置 101によれば、第 1燃焼室 1303において は、加熱容器 15内で発生した未燃ガスが供給されず、しかも燃焼が必ずしも完結す る必要がないので、第 1の燃焼パーナ 201による容器本体 151の加熱効率を高める ことができ、溶湯を高温に維持することができる。一方、第 2燃焼室 1304においては 、加熱容器 15内で発生した未燃ガス力 S、第 1燃焼室 1303で生成された燃焼ガスと 合流し、必要に応じて給気口 132から供給される空気と混合することにより、完全燃 焼が促される。したがって、加熱容器 15内の溶湯に対する加熱効率を良好に維持し つつ、燃焼効率を高めてクリーン燃焼を実現することができる。第 1燃焼室 1303の容 積及び第 2燃焼室 1304の容積の合計は、図 1に示す燃焼室 13の容積と同程度でよ ぐコンパクトな構成を維持することができる。第 1燃焼室 1303及び第 2燃焼室 1304 を備える構成において、第 2燃焼室 1304に配置される第 2の燃焼パーナ 202は必ず しも必要ではなぐ第 1燃焼室 1303のみに第 1の燃焼パーナ 201を備えた構成にす ることも可倉である。
[0055] また、図 1に示す有価金属回収装置 1において、投入装置 42は、タワー本体 41に 対して複数設けてもよい。例えば、複数の投入装置 42をタワー本体 41の中心から放 射状に配置することで、廃棄物を容器本体 151の渦流内に均一に分散落下させるこ とが容易になる。また、投入装置 42をタワー本体 41の側壁に設ける変わりに、タワー 本体 41の上部から被処理物が落下するように配置してもよ!/、。 [0054] According to the valuable metal recovery apparatus 101 configured as described above, in the first combustion chamber 1303, the unburned gas generated in the heating container 15 is not supplied, and the combustion is not necessarily completed. Therefore, the heating efficiency of the container main body 151 by the first combustion burner 201 can be increased, and the molten metal can be maintained at a high temperature. On the other hand, in the second combustion chamber 1304, the unburned gas force S generated in the heating container 15 merges with the combustion gas generated in the first combustion chamber 1303, and is supplied from the air inlet 132 as necessary. Mixing with air promotes complete combustion. Therefore, it is possible to improve the combustion efficiency and achieve clean combustion while maintaining good heating efficiency for the molten metal in the heating container 15. The total of the volume of the first combustion chamber 1303 and the volume of the second combustion chamber 1304 is the same as the volume of the combustion chamber 13 shown in FIG. In the configuration including the first combustion chamber 1303 and the second combustion chamber 1304, the second combustion chamber 202 disposed in the second combustion chamber 1304 is not necessarily required, and only the first combustion chamber 1303 is not required. It is also possible to have a configuration with 201. In the valuable metal recovery apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of input devices 42 may be provided for the tower main body 41. For example, by disposing a plurality of input devices 42 in a radiating manner from the center of the tower main body 41, it becomes easy to uniformly disperse the waste into the vortex of the container main body 151. In addition, instead of providing the charging device 42 on the side wall of the tower body 41, it may be arranged so that the workpiece falls from the top of the tower body 41! /.
[0056] 本実施形態の有価金属回収装置 1で処理する廃棄物等の被処理物は、投入装 置 42によるスムーズな搬送を可能にするため、必要に応じて、事前に粉砕処理を行 つてもよい。或いは、投入装置 42のホッパ 422に粉砕装置を接続して、被処理物を 粉砕装置で予め粉砕してから、投入装置 42に投入されるように構成してもよい。 [0056] To be processed, such as waste, to be processed by the valuable metal recovery apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform smooth conveyance by the input apparatus 42. Also good. Alternatively, a pulverizer may be connected to the hopper 422 of the charging device 42 so that the object to be processed is previously pulverized by the pulverizing device and then charged into the charging device 42.
[0057] また、投入装置 42は、スクリューコンベア 423による搬送中の廃棄物の粉砕を促 すため、ケーシング 421内に固定刃または回転刃を適宜配置してもよい。投入装置 4 2の具体的な構成は、本実施形態のものに限定されず、加熱容器 15内に生成される 溶湯の渦流内に廃棄物等の被処理物を落下させることができるものであれば、他の 構成であってもよい。例えば、切粉状、細断状の被処理物を収容した回収容器に振 動を付与して、傾斜路などを介して加熱容器内に落下させる構成の投入装置を用い ることあでさる。 [0057] In addition, the charging device 42 may appropriately arrange a fixed blade or a rotary blade in the casing 421 in order to promote the pulverization of the waste being conveyed by the screw conveyor 423. The specific configuration of the charging device 42 is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and is capable of dropping an object to be treated such as waste in the vortex of the molten metal generated in the heating container 15. For example, other configurations may be used. For example, it is possible to use a charging device configured to apply vibration to a collection container containing a chip-like or shredded object to be processed and drop it into a heating container via an inclined path or the like.
[0058] また、図 1に示す有価金属回収装置 1における加熱容器 15としては、黒鉛坩堝から なる容器本体 151と、黒鉛坩堝材等の耐熱材料力もなる排出流路 154とが一体化さ れた異形の黒鉛坩堝を使用することができる。異形の黒鉛坩堝としては、その他、例 えば図 3に示すように、容器本体 151と一体化される排出流路 1541を構成する上方 案内部 1561が、水平部 155から分岐するのではなぐ容器本体 151の側壁から導 出されこの側壁に隣接しながら上方に延びる構成にして、上方案内部 1561の途中 に形成された出湯口 1562を介して溶湯を排出できるようにしてもよい。この構成によ れば、上方案内部 1561を通過する溶湯力、容器本体 151内に貯留された溶湯から 伝熱を受けるため、出湯管 156bから排出される溶湯の温度を高温に維持することが できる。 In addition, as the heating container 15 in the valuable metal recovery apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, a container main body 151 made of a graphite crucible and a discharge flow path 154 also having a heat resistant material force such as a graphite crucible material are integrated. A deformed graphite crucible can be used. As an irregular shaped graphite crucible, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the container main body in which the upper guide part 1561 constituting the discharge flow path 1541 integrated with the container main body 151 is not branched from the horizontal part 155. The molten metal may be discharged through a hot water outlet 1562 formed in the middle of the upper guide portion 1561 so as to be guided from the side wall of 151 and extend upward while adjoining the side wall. According to this configuration, since the molten metal passing through the upper guide portion 1561 and heat transfer from the molten metal stored in the container body 151, the temperature of the molten metal discharged from the outlet pipe 156b can be maintained at a high temperature. it can.
