The invention discloses a method for producing iron
pellets with
sulfur acid residue containing large contents of impurities and enriching valuable
metal. The method comprises the following steps: reducing and calcining under a
moderate temperature, preparing the iron
pellets, chlorinating and calcining under a high temperature, reducing the temperature of the iron
pellets while recycling
heat energy, collecting dust in
flue gas and purifying the
flue gas, adding a
reducing agent of which the weight is 6 to 9 percent that of the
sulfur acid residue on the condition that the
kiln head temperature ranges from 750 to 900 DEG C, the
kiln tail temperature ranges from 350 to 500 DEG C, and the reducing and calcining step lasts for 70 to 100 min; calcining sand in a high temperature on the condition that 3 to 5 percent of
ferrous chloride, 2 to 3 percent of
adhesive, and 2 to 3 percent of lignite and / or
coke powder are added;
pelletizing; carrying out the high-temperature chlorinating and calcining step after dry pre-heating; and recycling
heat energy, collecting dust, and purifying the
flue gas to achieve the
emission standard. According to the invention, two sections of a
rotary kiln are adopted for fulfilling the reducing and calcining step and the high-temperature chlorinating and calcining step respectively, wherein a large quantity of
arsenic is extracted, part of
zinc is reduced and volatilized, the chlorination calcining ensures the reduction and the volatilization of residual
arsenic,
zinc,
tin, lead and
copper are chlorinated and volatilized, and sulphur is oxidized into
sulfur dioxide and enters the
flue gas, so as to obtain qualified the iron pellets. The method has the advantages that the iron
recovery rate is 92 to 95; the
arsenic extraction rate is larger than 95 percent; the desulfuration rate is equal to or larger than 90 percent; the volatilization rates of the lead,
tin and
zinc are 60 to 70 percent; and the volatilization rate of
copper is about 30 percent.
