DE4424950A1 - Arrangement for gas exhaust and molten glass tapping from melting tank - Google Patents

Abstract

Gaseous products are exhausted from a glass melting tank via a flue (60) located above the outlet (70) for molten glass, having at least one common wall section (72), which is fluid-tight. This section consists of a material which is at least indirectly transparent to infrared radiation, pref. at least partly of alumina and/or Cr oxide-contg. material. The arrangement can be used in a furnace for vitrifying residues such as ducts, ashes, slags, sludges, soils, refractories, asbestos, etc. contg. a proportion of hazardous substances, partic. heavy metals, which are charged continuously with additives for melting down.

Description

The invention relates to a device for withdrawing gas products as well as for draining the glass melt from one Device for melting a batch of glazable materia lien, with a melting tank in which a minimal melt spike gel is maintained and a maximum melt level not exceeded, with one connected to a fireplace Deduction for gaseous products above the maximum melt zenspiegel opens into the melting tank, and with an outlet for the glass melt, which is above the minimum melt level in the melting tank opens.  

To problematic residues, e.g. B. rust ash and filter dust from waste incineration plants, to be treated so that one connects send safe and inexpensive landfill or even that the glazing has become further use possible proved to be a suitable method. Although doing most of the problematic ingredients from the dusts to be glazed, Ash or slag, sludge, soil, refractory material, Asbestos or the like, largely inserted into a glass matrix can be closed, but gaseous fraction always remains le being pulled out of the glass melting furnace over a fireplace will. When they are drawn off, these gaseous products cool down, whereby condensate and / or sublimate can also arise.

It goes without saying that this condensate and / or Sublimate must not get into the glass melt to be removed, at least not when you get glass of certain quality wants to continue to be used in the construction sector, for example should.

EP-A 0 445 030 avoids this problem by: the outlet for the glass melt and a condensate drain to each other are arranged diametrically opposite on the melting tank. This leads to an increased space requirement of the entire system, the may not be desirable.

EP-A 0 359 003, however, proposes that in the exhaust system feed the resulting condensate to the glass melt in a controlled manner. If necessary, the condensate is then drawn off with the bile.

While it still seems possible with new systems, according to the previous Proposal from EP-A 0 445 030 will be retrofitted to the plants for waste recycling the idea of the small space may be in the foreground.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a compact, also for Retrofit suitable device for withdrawing gaseous  Products as well as to drain the glass melt the risk of contamination of the flowing glass melt through condensate and / or sublimate that precipitates from the exhaust gas, does not exist.

This task is carried out by an organization with the characteristics of Claim 1 solved. Advantageous refinements are the subject of subclaims.

According to the invention, the deduction for the gaseous products is direct arranged above the outlet, with the deduction and the Aus run at least one common wall for the glass melt have cut that is fluid-tight. Through this Arrangement can condensate and / or sublimate at most on the hot molten glass drip in the melting furnace, where it immediately reappears evaporates and is therefore not included in the melt.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the common wall section at least partially made for infrared if not direct, let through at least indirectly material. This is a heat balance between the flowing glass melt and the exhaust gas entering the chimney created, usually the exhaust gas some of its heat is transferred to the molten glass in the outlet, whereby the Flow behavior of the glass melt is significantly improved. So waste heat that escapes anyway can be used advantageously.

The common wall section can also be made at least partially Alumina and / or chromium oxide-containing material. So that will the effect is essentially achieved through heat conduction.

A device according to one of the preceding claims is found their use preferably in an oven for vitrification Residues, especially of silicate-containing residues, such as Dust, ash, slag, sludge, soil, refractory material, Asbestos or the like, with pollutant content, in particular  Heavy metal content, the residues, optionally under Adding at least one aggregate, essentially continuously introduced into the furnace and melted there will.

The device according to one of the preceding claims can also be used used in an at least partially burner-heated oven will.

In the following, the invention is intended to be used only as an example on the attached drawing will be explained in more detail. The shows only drawing figure a longitudinal sectional view of a glass melting furnace with a device for extracting gaseous Products and to drain the glass melt according to the present invention.

The residual material mixture is introduced into the glass melting furnace through an insertion screw 20 and deposited on the bottom of the melting tank 10 as a pouring cone. The exposed surface of the melt cone above the melt level 12 is swept by the flame of a Brennerein device 30 shown only schematically in the drawing, so that material is melted, which then flows into the glass melt. Any metal or metal sulphide components formed collect at the deepest point in the bottom of the melting tank and are discharged through a drain (not shown). In the upper part of the furnace above the melt level 12 , gaseous waste products are formed which enter a chimney 62 through a discharge 60 , through which they are drawn off in a vertical direction. Directly below the fume cupboard 60 is the outlet 70 for the glass melt, which opens into a feeder 80 , where the glass melt is heated by additional burners or additional electrodes 78 . The output of the feeder 80 forms a derivation 76 which can be closed by a locking device 74 . Between the fume cupboard 60 and the outlet 70 there is a common wall section 72 , which can consist of a material that is directly permeable to infrared radiation or of material that is indirectly permeable to infrared radiation, containing alumina and / or chromium oxide, or a combination of these substances. This common wall section ensures temperature compensation between the exhaust gases flowing into the chimney 62 and the flowing glass melt. Since, as a rule, the exhaust gases will be hotter than the glass melt, the latter will absorb heat, so that the additional burners 78 may only have to be operated to a limited extent. The exhaust gases, on the other hand, are cooled further, and condensate and / or sublimate is not disadvantageous because it cannot get into the outlet 70 for the glass melt.

The in the above description, in the drawing and in Features of the invention disclosed in the claims can both individually as well as in any combination for the realization the invention in its various embodiments essential his.
