The invention discloses a granular iron preparation
system and method. The granular iron preparation
system comprises a
slag melting device, a granulator, a reduction
roasting device, a
magnetic separation device and a gravity concentration device. By the
system, melted
copper slags are taken as raw materials, the problem that the traditional high-temperature
copper slags only can be continued being treated after being cooled by water
quenching or cooled slowly is solved, high-grade granular iron and
zinc oxide dust can be prepared, and the heat
utilization rate of the system is high. In addition, an additive inlet is formed in the
slag melting device, an additive is added in the high-temperature melted
copper slags before heating treatment, the melted copper slags can be homogenized after being stirred by a stirrer, the interior structures and chemical components of the copper slags are adjusted directly, the metallurgical performance of the copper slags is improved, then the copper slags are granulated at high temperature, so that granulated
copper slag raw materials can be provided for direct reduction of a rotary
hearth furnace, technologies such as
pelletizing,
drying and pellet preheating are omitted, the reduction time of the rotary
hearth furnace is shortened, and the
energy consumption of the rotary
hearth furnace is reduced.
