- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for direct processing of manganese, chromite and silica bearing compounds (Mn—Fe and Cr—Fe ores, and silica) to produce a liquid ferroalloy and iron, employing the concept of combined cycle power generation using a gas combustion turbine.
- manganese, chromite and silica bearing compounds Mn—Fe and Cr—Fe ores, and silica
- Mn—Fe ores, Cr—Fe ores, and silica are cold briquetted to form compact agglomerates containing a carbonaceous material such as coal, petcoke, char, etc., iron oxide (either already contained in the ore or added separately as iron ore fines, mill scale, metalized iron fines, etc., to the mix), fluxes such as lime, silica, spar, etc., and binder.
- a carbonaceous material such as coal, petcoke, char, etc.
- iron oxide either already contained in the ore or added separately as iron ore fines, mill scale, metalized iron fines, etc., to the mix
- fluxes such as lime, silica, spar, etc., and binder.
- An excess amount of carbon is present in the agglomerate not only to react with the manganese, chromium, and silica compounds, but also to reduce the iron oxide, manganese oxide, etc., so that the atmosphere within the melter is predominantly CO with some liberated H 2 from the volatilization of the carbonaceous material such as coal. Sulfur in the system is free to combine with the flux additions (CaO, CaF 2 , MgO, etc.), to form a sulfur-containing liquid slag.
- the principal object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing silicamanganese, ferromanganese or ferrosilicon ferroalloy from ordinary ore materials.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method of recovering manganese, chromium, vanadium, and titanium as oxides from ores.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic flowsheet of the process, wherein the reference numerals refer to the items as indicated below.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic flowsheet for handling of off-gases.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic flowsheet for treating hot metal to form vanadium and titanium oxides.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic depiction of recovering hot metal in pig form.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic depiction of slag treatment to recover vanadium and titanium oxides or to recover concentrated slag for recycle.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic flowsheet showing an alternative method for producing a liquid ferroalloy in which the feed materials are preheated with or without agglomeration, and then fed to the melting furnace.
- feed materials are introduced to mixer 22 , the input materials consisting of: metallic iron fines, iron oxides, manganese-iron ore concentrates and/or chromium-iron ore concentrates 10 , 100% passing 10 mesh Tyler Standard (1.70 mm), preferably 100% passing 100 mesh Tyler Standard (150 microns); prepared reductant 14 , such as coal, petroleum coke, char, or other carbonaceous material, 100% passing 25 mm, preferably 100% passing 100 mesh Tyler Standard (150 microns); slag formers or fluxing agents 16 , such as MgO, CaO, Al 2 O 3 , CaF 2 (fluorspar) and SiO 2 , 100% of which are minus 25 mm; an organic or inorganic binder 18 , such as cellulose, bentonite, molasses, or starch; recycled fines 20 , and water 26 as needed.
- metallic iron fines, iron oxides, manganese-iron ore concentrates and/or chromium-iron ore concentrates 10 100% passing 10 mesh Tyler Standard
- briquetter/agglomerator 24 or in pelletizer 28 (such as a drum or disc type pelletizer), the agglomerates being in the form of uniformly sized briquettes or pellets.
- pelletizer 28 such as a drum or disc type pelletizer
- the agglomerates are screened by sizer 30 , the undersized material being returned to the agglomerator 24 or to the pelletizer 28 .
- material D 1 exiting mixer 22 can be fed to a heater 84 for the purpose of preheating the mixture to about 500 to 120° C., devolatizing the reductant, and producing a preheated charge to electric furnace melter 38 . Pre-reduction of the iron oxide will occur to levels ranging from about 0 to 90%.
- Agglomerated material D 2 can also be preheated, if desired, prior to feeding the material to the melter through the pressure seal 37 .
- the heater 84 can be an indirectly heated rotary kiln, or a direct fired kiln, as shown, with off-gases being recycled.
- the heater 84 can be refractory lined, or it can be unlined, as desired.
- Screened pellets from pelletizer 28 are dried in a greenball dryer 32 to 1% or less moisture content.
- the agglomerates are cured and/or stored in hoppers 34 , then fed into an electric melter, or melting furnace 38 through a pressure-sealed feed system 36 .
- Feed to the melter is through a pressure-sealed chamber 80 , a conventional feed leg as is used with a shaft furnace, or through lock valves.
- the melter off-gas is treated, cooled and scrubbed in cooler-scrubber 52 , compressed in compressor 54 and delivered to stack 56 which includes combustion means for converting carbon monoxide and hydrogen to carbon dioxide and water vapor.
- the melter 38 operates normally under a slight positive pressure. Tapping of the hot metal and slag is done on an intermittent basis.
- one or more additional feed materials may be introduced through a pressure seal to the melter 38 , including metallic iron fines and iron oxide fines 12 , 100% of which are minus 25 mm; prepared reductant 14 , such as coal, petroleum coke, char, or other carbonaceous material, 100% passing 25 mm, preferably 50% passing 10 mesh; slag formers or fluxing agents 16 , such as MgO, CaO, Al 2 O 3 , CaF 2 (fluorspar) and SiO 2 , 100% of which are minus 25 mm; and recycled slag 50 .
- the feed materials are melted in the melting furnace 38 at a temperature of from 1500 to 1760 C to form a liquid ferroalloy with a slag thereon;
- Liquid ferroalloy is removed from the melter into ladles 40 and may be cast into ferroalloy pigs at pig caster 44 , as shown. Additional fluxing agents 14 may be added to the hot ferroalloy as it is discharged into ladles 40 (A and B).
- a desulfurizing slag addition 42 is introduced into a hot metal ladle shown as B, the addition being CaO, MgO, Ca/Mg wire, or a mixture thereof.
- the hot metal from either ladle A or B can be cast into pigs.
- the slag from ladle C may contain unreduced oxidized species of Mn, Cr, V and Ti due to partitioning effects between the liquid ferroalloy and slag.
- the slag can then be treated as shown in FIG. 5 by a quenching and grinding and electrostatic separation 82 to recover MnO, Cr 2 O 5 , V 2 O 5 and TiO 2 .
- This concentrated slag 50 may then be recycled to the melter, if desired, in order to increase the desired material concentration of slag, and improve the efficiency of recovery.
- Recovery of oxidized species, MnO, Cr 2 O 5 , V 2 O 5 and TiO 2 , from the concentrated slag can also be obtained by solvent extraction techniques.
- Off-gas exiting the melting furnace 36 is cleaned in cooler-scrubber 52 .
- the off-gas may be moved by fan 54 through high pressure compressor 58 , which operates in the range of about 100 to 350 psig, and the cleaned, compressed off-gas is used as combustion fuel in gas turbine 64 , or used for preheating agglomerates in hopper/preheaters 34 prior to their introduction to the electric melting furnace 36 .
- Gas turbine 64 drives generator 66 to produce electricity, and sensible heat contained in offgas exiting the gas turbine is recovered in a waste heat recovery boiler system 68 .
- the waste heat boiler system 68 steam cycle could be a “Kalina” cycle based on using 70% ammonia and 30% water for better range processing and heat recovery efficiency at lower gas temperatures.
- Ammonia/water boiling occurs over a range of temperatures rather that at a specific temperature and pressure.
- Steam produced by the waste heat boiler system 68 is then used to drive a steam turbine 70 and associated generator 72 to produce additional electricity.
- a secondary objective of the invention is to supplement or produce all the required electricity to accommodate the process and operate the plant so as to be electricity self sufficient. If sufficient fuel gas is not produced by the melter, then additional fuel gas, such as natural gas, can be used to supplement the fuel gas feed to the gas turbine.
- Gas from the compressor 54 can be treated for sulfur removal in an optional sulfur removal system 60 , which may require an optional chiller 78 upstream of the sulfur gas removal system.
- the agglomerate curing or storage hoppers 34 can be preheaters, such as a shaft or vessel preheater, as desired.
- preheaters such as a shaft or vessel preheater, as desired.
- off-gas from the electric furnace or melter 38 can be utilized as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the off-gas is returned to the gas handling system at cooler-scrubber 52 .
