The invention relates to metallurgy and can be used for the production of ferronickel with different Nickel content of the Ural and other oxidized Nickel ores.

There are various methods of production of Nickel and its alloys (ferro-Nickel) from relatively poor (Nickel content) of oxidized Nickel ores. As the Nickel content in domestic oxidized ores is small (1-1,2%), and iron content were considerably higher (up to 25%), direct recovery of Nickel with carbon in a smelting, aggregates known method [1] is rarely used, because due to the parallel reduction of iron turns out poor content Nickel alloy - ferro-Nickel with a Nickel content of 3-5%, only partially applied in ferrous metallurgy.

To improve technical and economic performance of the process and to increase the Nickel content in the alloy, used different methods of enrichment of oxidized Nickel ores, for example [2], converting a compound of Nickel and iron in a form that allows the magnetic separation of ore and to reduce its content of non-metallic waste material. But in this case we obtain the relation of the contents of Nickel and iron concentrates can be made by conventional methods direct restoration of rasprave the aqueous concentrate alloy with high Nickel content.

Therefore it is necessary to produce ferronickel with a high content of Nickel and pure Nickel traditional multistage scheme, providing the first sulfatirovnie melt and produce Nickel matte in the rehabilitation unit, then getting Feinstein Converter by oxidation of all the iron and the sulphur from Nickel matte, then getting Nickel oxide by oxidizing roasting matte and then getting rich ferro-Nickel or pure Nickel electric arc furnace [1, 3]. This process is performed periodically, and the multistage process leads to a significant cumulative losses of Nickel and relatively low total recovery of Nickel from raw materials.

Hence the desire of metallurgists get ferronickel with high Nickel content of the one-stage process, carrying out such production is continuous.

The known method [4] processing of raw materials containing non-ferrous metals and iron, including the filing in the oxidation zone two zonal furnace slag melt mixture consisting of raw materials, fluxes, liquid or solid recycled slag, carbon-containing material and oxygen-containing blast, melting the mixture with the formation of slag flowing into recovery area, which serves a carbonaceous material, oxygen-containing d is Thiey and additional fluxes, the product melting (see patent RU 2194781 C2)chosen by the applicant as the closest analogue of ferronickel smelting of oxidized Nickel ores and products of their enrichment.

In the known method in the processing of oxidized raw material in the oxidation zone of the furnace are carbon-containing material and oxygen in the oxygen-blowing in the quantities necessary for complete combustion of carbon with a maximum heat and formation of liquid slag, and in the reducing zone of carbonaceous material, oxygen-containing blast and raw materials (obviously, I mean molten slag from the oxidizing zone - note our) and additional fluxes served in the quantities necessary for the recovery of oxides of recoverable metals in the metallic phase and thermal compensation costs. In this respect, specific consumption of carbon-containing material per ton of recoverable metal in the oxidizing and reducing zones maintained within the range of 0.3 to 2.5, and the ratio of specific consumption of oxygen in these areas in the range from 0.7 to 3.0.

In addition, the ratio of the quantities of oxygen (volume of oxygen - note our)supplied to the melt and the gas phase above the melt in the reducing zone maintained within the range of 0.1-0.5.

A method of refining raw materials containing non-ferrous metals and jelly is about, has the following disadvantages:

- no guarantees to obtain an alloy with a high Nickel content and low iron content, the most popular metallurgists;

- does not guarantee the complete removal of goldcrests recovered metal, as intense and unregulated bubbling oxygen-containing gas does not contribute (prevents) a good deposition Korolkov metal from slag in the reducing zone of the furnace;

- difficult to regulate the carbon content in the resulting metal;

- impossible long-term continuous operation of the unit in connection with the need for frequent repair of the refractory lining and partitions separating the oxidizing and reducing zones;

is not provided by the recycling of dust emitted from the unit, and the final slag process, which does not allow to organize environmentally friendly waste-free production of metal.

The proposed method ferronickel smelting of oxidized Nickel ores and products of their enrichment and Assembly for its implementation to solve the problem of the continuous waste-free production of ferro-Nickel high Nickel content of oxidized Nickel ores and products of their enrichment.

The technical result of the proposed method ferronickel smelting of oxidized Nickel ores and products of their obogs the tion is to eliminate the disadvantages of the nearest analogue, namely:

- continuous over a long period of time, the ferro-Nickel high Nickel content and low carbon content;

a more complete extraction of goldcrests recovered metal from the slag and the reduction of losses Nickel;

- utilization of dust emitted from the unit, and the final slag process, with the goal of environmentally friendly waste-free production of ferronickel.

Known Vanyukov furnace for continuous melting of materials containing non-ferrous and ferrous metals [5], selected by the applicant as the closest analogue unit for implementing the method of smelting of ferro-Nickel from laterite Nickel ores and products of their enrichment.

In the known furnace, comprising a caisson shaft, divided by transverse partitions into the camera oxidative melting and camera recovery of oxides of the slag with lances, stage furnace hearth, the siphon with holes for the release of the slag and metal phases, the caisson shaft is made with a rectangular bottom and extending in the upper part (apparently, also rectangular, but a larger cross-section - note our), a lower edge of the partitions located on the side of the camera oxidative melting installed on 5-15 diameters lance camera oxidative melting point below the axis of these tuyeres, and the upper edge of this perehara the key is located above the axis of the tuyere camera recovery oxide slag 2.5-4.5 distances from the axis of the tuyere camera recovery of oxides of the slag to the threshold of the outlet openings of the slag. The charge flux additives and solid fuel load on the surface Bartiromo blown slag melt in the camera oxidative melting. The splashing of the melt and the oxidation of the carbonaceous fuel is carried out by supplying the oxygen-containing melt blown through tuyeres in the side walls of the furnace in an amount necessary for complete combustion of combustible components with maximum heat. Due to the intensive mixing and heat of combustion of the solid fuel charge quickly melts and forms a homogeneous slag (which, in principle, impossible), which as it accumulates at the bottom edge of the partition through the internal siphon flows in the upper part of the chamber recovery (judging from the drawing to the patent and the description of the invention, the slag flows not at the top and at the bottom or in the best case, the middle part of the camera recovery). In camera recovery of oxides of the slag in the upper part Bartiromo melt is injected solid carbonaceous materials such as coal and, if necessary, additional fluxing additives, including sulfidization. Coal is injected in an amount necessary for reducing oxides of recoverable materials and compensation of heat losses. The splashing of the melt to accelerate heat and mass transfer and oxidation of the fuel to the required content of carbon monoxide) and hydrogen (it is unclear where does the hydrogen by decomposition of volatile components of the coal or the decomposition of water?) support by supplying oxygen-containing blast through the bottom row of tuyeres. In the reduction reactions and, if necessary, sulfatirovnie in the chamber restore is formed of metal or sulfide phase, droplets which fall to the bottom (?) camera recovery, and (as you can release droplets?) release from the furnace through a special channel or cord. Slag, depleted for non-ferrous and iron, are produced through a window in the siphon. Gases camera recovery containing CO and H2to save fuel and reduce their toxicity dorogaya, feeding oxygen-containing blast through the top row of tuyeres.

Known Vanyukov furnace for continuous melting of materials containing non-ferrous and ferrous metals, has the following disadvantages:

because coal is used as fuel and as a reducing agent, the oven does not guarantee receipt of an alloy with a high content of non - ferrous metals-Nickel and low iron content, in the oxidation chamber is possible uncontrolled reduction of iron from the slag melt, and in the recovery chamber is very difficult, almost impossible to perform selective recovery of non - ferrous metals-Nickel;

- does not guarantee the possibility of the full deposition Korolkov metal or matte, as intense bubbling slag melt oxygen-containing gas blown from low located lance, prevents the flow of the deposition process Korolkov metal, which reduces the completeness of extraction of Nickel from the charge materials;

in connection with the use of coal loaded in Barberey melt, as fuel and reductant difficult to regulate the carbon content of the metal phase and the receipt of ferronickel with specified low carbon content;

because the partition separating the oxidizing and reducing camera, are constantly in contact with aggressive oxidized low slag basicity, they degrade quickly and require frequent repairs, which reduces the productivity of the furnace;

- does not provide ways and there is no possibility of recycling of dust emitted from the unit and entrained in the gas cleaning facilities.

The proposed solution solves the problem of improving the design of the unit for continuous smelting of ferro-Nickel from laterite Nickel ores and products of their processing, increase productivity and improve technical and economic performance of the process.

The technical result of the proposed unit for implementing the method of smelting of ferro-Nickel from oxide is different Nickel ores and products of their enrichment is to eliminate the disadvantages of the nearest analogue, namely:

- increased period of continuous operation and performance of the unit;

- increase the degree of extraction of Nickel from the processed mixture;

- improving the quality of ferronickel;

- providing opportunities alloy with high Nickel content and low iron content;

- provision of recycling and dust trapped in the system, and reduction of environmental pollution.

The technical result is achieved by the following solutions, United by a common inventive concept.

The technical result is ensured by the fact that in the smelting of ferro-Nickel from laterite Nickel ores and products of their processing, including the loading of the charge materials in the melting chamber, heating and melting through toplevelitem burners, recovery of the carbonaceous reducing agent injected through the injectors into the slag melt, the issue received ferronickel and slag, according to the first invention, the melting of the charge materials and the recovery of Nickel, iron, cobalt is produced continuously in the melting chamber, cooled liquid metal coolant in the side walls which are located above the level of the slag melt 0.25-1.2 m, at an angle 15-60° the melt surface and at an angle 35-65° to the longitudinal axis of the unit is olivecolored burner, and the injectors are located on 0.25-0.60 m above the level of molten metal, carbon reducing agent is blown into the amount needed for full recovery of Nickel and cobalt, and 1-15% of the iron contained in the charge.

In addition, the charge before it is loaded into the melting chamber is heated and partially restore the exhaust from the chamber with process gas.

In addition, caught in the gas cleaning devices dust is blown into the injectors in the slag melt in the melting chamber, and recover from dust Nickel and cobalt.

In addition, fusion of the melting chamber slag after exposure 5-15 minutes and settling (sedimentation) Korolkov metal used for the manufacture of shaped slag casting.

In addition, to reduce the carbon content of ferronickel and the best extraction Korolkov alloy from the slag alloy is poured from the melting chamber into the bucket, pre-filled with waste slag is drained from the melting chamber.

The technical result is ensured that the unit for continuous smelting of ferro-Nickel from laterite Nickel ores and products of their processing, containing refrigerated liquid metal cooled shroud melting chamber, in the workspace which are recovered slag melt and the recovered metal, the circuit of the OHL the input voltage to the metal carrier, toplivorazdatochnye burner for melting the mixture, heating the melt and compensation cost of heat for the endothermic reduction reaction of metals, injectors for injection into the slag melt carbonaceous materials, according to the second invention, it has injectors for injection into the slag melt trapped in the gas purification dust, removed the exhaust gases from the chamber, toplivorazdatochnye burners are installed in the side walls of the chamber above the level of the slag melt 0.5-1.2 m, at an angle 15-60° to the melt surface and at an angle 35-65° to the longitudinal axis of the Assembly, and nozzle injectors for injection into the slag melt carbonaceous materials and caught in the gas cleaning dust are 0.25-0.60 m above the level of the reduced metal, the heat exchangers of the cooling loop liquid metal coolant are connected by isotopologues installed in the walls of the chamber injectors, providing injection into the slag melt carbonaceous materials, and caught in the gas cleaning dust in a stream of heated nitrogen, and bottom tuyeres, mixing the melt heated nitrogen.

For melting the mixture, heating the melt and compensation cost of heat for the endothermic reduction reaction of metal melting chamber is supplied mounted in the side walls of the chamber above the level of the slag rspl the VA 0.5-1.2 m angle 15-60° to the melt surface and at an angle 35-60° to the longitudinal axis of the unit fuel-oxygen burners, for injection into the slag melt carbonaceous materials, and caught in the gas cleaning dust melting chamber provided with injectors, nozzles which are located on 0.25-0.60 m above the level of the reduced metal, the heat exchangers of the cooling loop liquid metal coolant are connected by isotopologues installed in the walls of the chamber injectors, which feeds into the slag melt carbonaceous materials, and trapped gas purifying dust in a stream of heated nitrogen and bottom tuyeres, mixing the melt blown heated nitrogen.

In addition, the melting chamber is horizontal or at an angle of 5-20° to the horizon.

In addition, the longitudinal axis of the chute for the production of metal and slag is displaced in a horizontal plane at an angle of 90 to 150°.

The proposed fusion of the charge materials and the recovery of Nickel, cobalt and iron in the melting chamber, the housing (casing) which is cooled liquid metal coolant, allows to carry out the process continuously for a long time at high temperatures of the slag melt (1500-1650° (C)without building the refractory lining of the walls of the melting chamber, as intense heat cooled both the accounts for the formation of stable layer of crust on the walls of the chamber. Due to the high temperature of the slag melt processes are accelerated melting of the charge and recovery of metals, improve conditions for deposition of slag Korolkov restored alloy, creates the possibility of using the slit of the camera slag for the manufacture of shaped slag casting, which ultimately contributes to the improvement of technical and economic indicators of ferronickel. In addition, the heat abstracted cooled, can be used to heat the nitrogen used for mixing of the melt.

The input of heat into the working space of the melting chamber operating with excess oxygen toplevelitem burners located in the side walls of the chamber above the level of the slag melt is 0.1-1.2 m, at an angle 15-60° to the melt surface, allows to separate the oxidizing and reducing zones in the melt without using a special partition to have a high degree of utilization of the heat of combustion of the fuel, to facilitate the flow of the regenerative processes in the melt and is easy to adjust the temperature of the melt, as well as workspace melting chamber above the melt.

The pulverized carbonaceous reductant into the slag melt injectors 0.25-0.60 m above the level of molten metal in the quantity necessary for the complete vosstanovleniya and cobalt, and 1-15% of the iron contained in the charge, allows to simplify and accelerate the process of recovery of metals and get ferronickel with a high content of Nickel as Nickel and cobalt are recovered easier iron, and enter the amount of carbon is not enough to recover large amounts of iron.

Optional mixing of the melt is heated to 350-400°With nitrogen, is blown into the bottom tuyeres, which allows you to accelerate the processes of melting the mixture, heating the melt, metal recovery and to facilitate the deposition of slag Korolkov recovered metal. This leads to the improvement of technical and economic indicators of production.

Additionally prompted for preheating and partial recovery of the charge before loading it into the melting chamber of the exhaust from the chamber with process gas, which allows you to accelerate the processes of melting and recovery in the melting chamber, to reduce fuel consumption and improve thermal efficiency of the installation.

Additionally offered injection is caught in the gas cleaning plants dust containing Nickel and cobalt, the injectors in the slag melt in the melting chamber, which allows to recover and bring the alloy additional amount of Nickel and cobalt, as well as get rid of the necessity to the disposal of toxic dust in the dumps, that gives the opportunity to improve the ecological situation in the area of the enterprise.

Additionally, it is suggested to use the slit of the melting chamber slag after exposure 5-15 minutes and sedimentation Korolkov of ferronickel for the manufacture of shaped slag casting. This allows us to improve the total technical and economic indicators of the process and the environment in the area of enterprise, significantly reducing the export of slag dumps.

Additionally it is proposed to drain the alloy (ferro-Nickel) of the melting chamber in the bucket, pre-filled with waste slag is drained from the melting chamber. This allows to reduce the carbon content of ferronickel by oxidation of carbon oxides of iron slag and extract additional part Korolkov metal from slag, which leads to improvement of the quality of ferronickel and improvement of technical and economic indicators of the process.

Use to melt the mixture, heating the melt and compensation cost of heat for the endothermic reduction reaction of metals toplevelitem burners located above the level of the slag melt, allows in a single unit to create oxidation zone above the level of the slag melt, which will now be burned with excess oxygen fuel and partially digitise carbon monoxide WITH allocated is audica from the melt. The arrangement of the burners at an angle 15-60° to the melt surface and at an angle 35-65° to the longitudinal axis of the unit allows to improve the heat transfer in the melting chamber and to create the desired directional movement of the slag inside the chamber.

The injection of carbonaceous material and entrapped in the gas purification dust in the slag melt injectors, nozzles which are located on 0.25-0.60 m above the level of the reduced metal, allows you to create in the volume of the slag melt recovery area, easy to adjust, changing the number of blown carbon, Nickel and iron in the composition without increasing the carbon content in the resulting ferronickel.

Blowing dust into the slag melt can reduce environmental pollution and increase the extraction of Nickel from charge. Application for injection of carbonaceous materials and dust in the melt is heated in heat exchangers of the cooling circuit of nitrogen, allows to increase thermal efficiency of the unit, without increasing the oxidation potential of regenerative zone of the melt.

The melt mixing is preheated in the heat exchangers of the cooling circuit with nitrogen blown through the bottom tuyeres, allows to improve the conditions of heat transfer in the melt and accelerate the reactions of the recovery of Nickel and cobalt.

The location of the melting chamber horizontally or below the elevation is 5-20° to the horizon can significantly increase teplovosprinimajushchie the surface of the slag melt, reduce the height of the layer of slag melt, thereby greatly facilitate and accelerate the melting and heating of the melt. In addition, it facilitates the installation of charging systems charge and utilization of exhaust gas heat above the melting chamber and reduces the required height of the building in which is mounted unit, respectively, and decrease the capital cost of construction and installation of the unit.

Offset longitudinal axes of the grooves for the production of metal and slag in the corner 90-130° in the horizontal plane allows, if necessary, to make the production of metal and slag simultaneously in two bottling bucket: for slag and ferro-Nickel from one end of the melting chamber, which facilitates and simplifies the layout of the production building, which houses the Assembly.
