Structural characteristics
Electrode system: It has six electrodes, generally using graphite
electrodes or self baking electrodes. The electrode is connected to
the power supply through an electrode accessory system, which can
achieve operations such as lifting, pressing, and releasing. The
electrodes are usually arranged symmetrically in a double
triangular pattern, with two wires in a group, evenly distributed
inside the furnace. This arrangement can make the electric and
thermal fields in the furnace more evenly distributed.
Furnace body: Similar to other mineral thermal furnaces, it
consists of a furnace shell and lining. The furnace shell is welded
from steel plates to provide support and protection; The furnace
lining is made of refractory materials such as high alumina bricks
and carbon bricks to withstand high temperatures and erosion from
materials inside the furnace. The top of the furnace is equipped
with a hood to collect the flue gas generated during the smelting
process.
working principle
The six electrode DC ore furnace supplies power to the six
electrodes by converting alternating current into direct current.
The current starts from the power source and enters the furnace
charge through the electrodes. In the furnace charge, the current
forms a complex current path. By utilizing the arc heat generated
between the electrode and the furnace charge, as well as the
resistance heat generated by the resistance of the furnace charge
when the current passes through it, the raw materials such as ore,
carbonaceous reducing agent, and solvent are heated to high
temperatures, promoting the reduction reaction of metal oxides in
the ore and generating metals or alloys. Due to the characteristics
of electrode arrangement and DC power supply, the heat distribution
inside the furnace is more uniform, the arc stability is better,
and it can effectively improve smelting efficiency and product
quality.
Advantage
Improving furnace capacity: Compared to traditional three electrode
submerged arc furnaces, the capacity of submerged arc furnaces can
be increased several times without increasing the electrode
diameter, which can better meet the needs of large-scale
production.
Improving furnace reaction: The six electrodes are evenly
distributed, making the shape of the dissolution pool in the
furnace closer to a circle, increasing the dissolution pool area,
reducing dead corners, facilitating full reaction of furnace
materials, reducing the risk of hanging and collapsing materials in
the furnace, and reducing the occurrence of electrode breakage.
Reduce energy consumption: DC power supply avoids problems such as
skin effect and eddy current loss in AC mineral heat furnaces, with
a high power factor of 0.94-0.96, high energy utilization
efficiency, and can effectively reduce electricity consumption.
Cost reduction: The electrode current density decreases, electrode
consumption decreases, and overall production costs also decrease
due to improved production efficiency and reduced energy
consumption.
Application field
Mainly used in the production of ferroalloys, such as ferrosilicon,
manganese iron, chromium iron, tungsten iron, silicon manganese
alloys, etc., it can also be used in the production of chemical raw
materials such as calcium carbide. In some non-ferrous metal
smelting processes that require high metal purity, there is also a
certain potential for application, such as recovering copper,
nickel, lead, tin, zinc and other metals from non-ferrous metal
slag, or directly smelting metals from non-ferrous metal ores.
