Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A second-level liquid slag cache system with flow and temperature monitoring and control functions is disclosed. A slag inlet is located at an upper portion of the slag ladle casing; at least one slag discharging unit is located at a side of a lower portion of the slag ladle casing; one slag discharging unit is corresponding to one stopper; the stopper includes a stopper head, a stopper rod and a stopper control mechanism; the stopper control mechanism is configured to control the flow area between the stopper head and the sizing nozzle; a sealing cover is disposed outside the sizing nozzle; a slag control tube is installed at a bottom of the sealing cover. The present invention is able to achieve liquid slag buffer, flow control and heat compensation, so as to allow liquid slag to continuously stably perform a subsequent granulation process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A second-level liquid slag cache system, which comprises: a slag ladle casing ( 1 ), a stopper, a slag control tube ( 11 ) and a sealing cover ( 10 ), wherein: a slag inlet ( 12 ) is located at an upper portion of the slag ladle casing ( 1 ), at least one slag discharging unit is located at a side of a lower portion of the slag ladle casing ( 1 ), the at least one slag discharging unit comprises a seating brick ( 100 ) and a sizing nozzle ( 6 ); the stopper comprises a stopper head ( 7 ), a stopper rod ( 9 ) and a stopper control mechanism ( 8 ); the seating brick ( 100 ) has a brick channel ( 101 ) and a sizing nozzle accommodating cavity ( 102 ) communicated with the brick channel ( 101 ), the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) is disposed within the sizing nozzle accommodating cavity ( 102 ), the slag ladle casing ( 1 ) has a chamber for accommodating slag, one end of the brick channel ( 101 ) is communicated with the chamber, the other end of the brick channel ( 101 ) is communicated with an inlet of a flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ); one end of the stopper rod ( 9 ) is connected with the stopper head ( 7 ), the other end of the stopper rod ( 9 ) is connected with the stopper control mechanism ( 8 ), the stopper control mechanism ( 8 ) is configured to control a flow area between the stopper head ( 7 ) and the sizing nozzle ( 6 ), the sealing cover ( 10 ) is disposed outside the sizing nozzle ( 6 ), the slag control tube ( 11 ) is installed at a bottom of the sealing cover ( 10 ); the stopper is disposed outside the slag ladle casing, an angle between the stopper and a horizontal plane is in a range of 10 to 30 degrees, and the flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) is a non-equal cross-section flow passage whose cross section is firstly reduced and then enlarged; an angle between an upper portion of an inlet tapered section of the flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) and the horizontal plane is in a range of 100 to 110 degrees; an angle between a lower portion of the inlet tapered section of the flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) and the horizontal plane is in a range of 15 to 25 degrees; an outlet expansion section of the flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) is inverted conical; an angle between an upper portion of the outlet expansion section of the flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) and the horizontal plane is in a range of 15 to 25 degrees; and an angle between a lower portion of the outlet expansion section of the flow passage within the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) and the horizontal plane is in a range of 5 to 15 degrees. 2. The second-level liquid slag cache system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one non-contact slag ladle liquid level monitoring device ( 2 ) and at least one burner ( 3 ) are located at a top of the slag ladle casing ( 1 ) for monitoring a liquid level of liquid slag in a slag ladle and heat replenishment of the liquid slag in the slag ladle, respectively. 3. The second-level liquid slag cache system according to claim 1 , wherein a slag control tube liquid level detecting device ( 4 ) and a non-contact temperature monitoring device ( 5 ) are disposed at a top of the sealing cover ( 10 ); a side and the top of the sealing cover ( 10 ) are openable; the sealing cover ( 10 ) is in flange-sealed connection with the slag ladle casing ( 1 ). 4. The second-level liquid slag cache system according to claim 1 , wherein the sizing nozzle ( 6 ) and the stopper head ( 7 ) are made from a refractory material with corrosion resistance, the stopper rod ( 9 ) is made from a high-temperature resistant metal material, the stopper rod ( 9 ) is in threaded connection with the stopper head ( 7 ). 5. The second-level liquid slag cache system according to claim 1 , wherein a layer of insulation material is coated on the slag control tube ( 11 ).
