Methods and apparatus for efficient utilization of a cryogen in inerting of solid and molten metals are presented. One method and apparatus of the invention includes providing a source of liquid cryogen; transporting the liquid cryogen through a conduit connected to the source of liquid cryogen to a gas/liquid separator, wherein a portion of the liquid cryogen transforms into gaseous cryogen en route; transporting a portion of the liquid cryogen through a first conduit connecting the gas/liquid separator to a cryogen supply nozzle; transporting the gaseous cryogen through a second conduit connecting the gas/liquid separator to a cryogen supply nozzle; and flowing at least a portion of liquid cryogen and at least a portion of the gaseous cryogen through the cryogen nozzle separately and near a surface of solid or molten metal. Thus liquid that transforms into gaseous cryogen en route from storage is not vented and not wasted, but used in inerting of solid or molten metals.

Process and apparatus for regenerating spent acid liquor includes a primary roasting furnace for evaporating a substantial portion of the liquid from the spent acid to produce acid vapors and partially roasted metal salts. The partially roasted metal salts are transferred to a secondary roasting chamber where the acids adhering to the surface of the metal salts is vaporized and the metal salts are oxidized. The acid vapors from the primary roasting furnace are then transferred to an absorption column to regenerate the acid. The primary roasting furnace is operated at a different temperature from the secondary roasting chamber and has different retention times for the metal salts. The secondary roasting chamber includes a raking device to mix and convey the metal salts during the secondary roasting step to produce a uniformly roasted metal oxide.

A system for generating mechanical waves for use in smelting and conversion processes that occur in furnaces and converters for a higher production of refined metals, consisting in an electrical signal generator, transducers that convert said electrical signals in mechanical waves placed on the outer end of air blowing tuyeres and a coupling means between said system and the shell of the converter. The air blowing tuyeres are placed forming an angle less than or equal to 90null with the transducer and the airflow entrance to the interior of the converter, forming a figure with an null angle shape; and the transducer is placed in the direction of the cross axis of the converter pointing towards the null angle of the air blowing tuyere, for applying mechanical waves that travel in a longitudinal direction with the airflow into the converter. The field of mechanical waves allows a higher efficiency in the oxygen reactions within the metal bath and slag, increasing the kinetics of chemical reactions, allowing a quicker homogenisation of the metal bath and reducing notoriously the copper trapped mechanically by the slag, all this leading to a higher production of metal.

摘要:
In a method of charging metal carriers which contain a portion of fines and are at least partially reduced to a melter gasifier in which a melt-down gasifying zone formed by a bed is maintained, the metal carriers and carbon carriers are fed into the melter gasifier above the level of the melt-down gasifying zone. The metal carriers descend to the melt-down gasifying zone and travel through the same forming a metal melt and producing a reducing gas by coal gasification. In order to prevent a partial discharge from the melter gasifier of the metal carriers, in particular of the fine particles thereof, when charging the same, feeding of the metal carriers into the interior of the melter gasifier is effected at a vertical distance below a dome (30) terminating the melter gasifier toward the top, gravitationally and under the formation of a strand (44), and the strand (44) is surrounded by a gas jacket (45) enclosing and accompanying the freely falling strand (44) from its level of origin (at 40) onwards over a section (46) of the fall, and in this section (46) the strand (44) is supported against expansion by the gas jacket (45).

A system for generating mechanical waves for use in smelting and conversion processes that occur in furnaces and converters for a higher production of refined metals, consisting in an electrical signal generator, transducers that convert said electrical signals in mechanical waves placed on the outer end of air blowing tuyeres and a coupling means between said system and the shell of the converter. The air blowing tuyeres are placed forming an 180null angle in the direction of the airflow entrance, while the transducers are placed transversally to the air blowing tuyeres so as to apply mechanical waves that travel in a transversal direction with the air flow into the converter or pyrometallurgical furnace.

The present invention relates to a clamping device including at least two assemblies each composed of a clamp (10) pivoting about a horizontal axis (11) and fitted with a groove (12) receiving a shoe (13) generally cylindrical in shape incorporating a flat surface (14) parallel to the axis of said cylinder, said shoe being capable of pivoting in the groove. The present invention also relates to a one-piece inner nozzle (2) particularly adapted for use with this clamping device. The one-piece inner nozzle according to the invention is thus composed of a tubular part (6) defining a pouring channel (4) and a flat part or plate (7) providing contact with the downstream component (8) of the pouring channel. The characteristic of the nozzle according to the invention is that the plate (7) is generally shaped as a prism which can be defined by its polygon-shaped bases and the prismatic surface which they intersect perpendicularly, the said polygonal bases comprising an upper base (22), whose displacement within the prismatic surface defines the interface with the tubular part (6) and a lower base (21) parallel to the upper base and, on either side of the upper base, two sides (23, 23null) forming an obtuse angle (null) with the upper base (22).
