Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schmelzofen für Reststoffe aus Müllverbrennungsanlagen, insbesondere Filterstaub-Schmelzofen, welcher ein aus Unterbau und Oberbau bestehendes Ofengefäss umfasst, das innen mit einer Ausmauerung aus Feuerfestmaterial ausgekleidet ist.The invention relates to a melting furnace for residues from waste incineration plants, in particular filter dust melting furnace, which is an existing substructure and superstructure The furnace contains the inside with a lining made of refractory material is lined.

Eine Schmelzofen dieser Gattung ist in der Firmenschrift "Die thermische Reststoffbehandlung nach dem DEGLOR-Verfahren" der Firma ABB W+E Umwelttechnik, CH-8048 Zürich, undatiert, beschrieben.A melting furnace of this type is in the company publication "Die thermal treatment of residues according to the DEGLOR process " ABB W + E Umwelttechnik, CH-8048 Zurich, undated, described.

TECHNOLOGISCHER HINTERGRUND UND STAND DER TECHNIKTECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART

Beim DEGLOR-Verfahren (DEGLOR ist eine eingetragene Marke der Firma W+E Umwelttechnik AG, CH-8048 Zürich) werden Filterstaub und Kesselasche ohne Zuschlagstoffe in einem elektrisch beheizten Schmelzofen bei Temperaturen um 1300 °C behandelt. Die Reststoffe schmelzen und werden über einen gasdichten Siphon aus dem Ofen ausgetragen und dann abgekühlt. Dabei entsteht ein problemlos deponierbarer glasartiger Rückstand. Während des Einschmelzvorganges dampfen die meisten Schwermetallverbindungen ab. Organische Schadstoffe wie Dioxine oder Furane werden thermisch zerstört. Nicht abdampfende hochsiedende Metallverbindungen werden ähnlich wie Blei in Bleikristallglas in die Glasmatrix eingebunden. Ein dem Ofen nachgeschalteter Ventilator sorgt dafür, dass die abgedampften Komponenten aus dem Ofen abgesaugt werden. With the DEGLOR process (DEGLOR is a registered trademark of W + E Umwelttechnik AG, CH-8048 Zurich) filter dust and boiler ash without additives in an electrically heated Melting furnace treated at temperatures around 1300 ° C. The Residues melt and are removed via a gas-tight siphon Discharged from the oven and then cooled. This creates a glassy residue that can be easily deposited. While most heavy metal compounds vaporize during the melting process from. Organic pollutants such as dioxins or furans are thermally destroyed. Non-evaporating high-boiling metal compounds are similar to lead in lead crystal glass integrated into the glass matrix. A downstream of the oven Fan ensures that the evaporated components from be sucked out of the oven.

Sowohl die (Glas-)schmelze als auch die Gasatmosphäre in diesen Öfen ist wesentlich korrosiver als in herkömmlichen Glasöfen. Von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Lebensdauer und damit überhaupt für eine wirtschaftliche Anwendung dieses Verfahrens ist deshalb die Materialauswahl der Ausmauerung dieser Öfen. Both the (glass) melt and the gas atmosphere in it Ovens are much more corrosive than in conventional glass ovens. Crucial for life and therefore for an economic application of this method at all is therefore the material selection of the lining Ovens.

KURZE DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Ausmauerungen für derartige Schmelzöfen anzugeben, die hohe Standzeiten aufweisen.The invention is based, bricks for specify such melting furnaces that have long service lives.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die in den Patentansprüchen 1 und 2 definierten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the in the Claims 1 and 2 defined features solved.

Ein Schmelzofen mit einer derartigen unterschiedlichen Zusammensetzung der Ausmauerung im Schmelzbereich und im Ofenoberbau zeitigt überraschend hohe Standzeiten. Wesentlich dabei ist, dass die Ausmauerung im Ofenoberbau, also in der Gasatmosphäre, kein oder möglicht wenig Cr2O3 enthält, da Chrom toxische Verbindungen mit Substanzen in der Gasatmosphäre bilden kann. Beste Ergebnisse lieferten dabei Ausmauerungen aus Steinen, die aus reinem MgO bestehen.A melting furnace with such a different composition of the lining in the melting area and in the furnace superstructure has a surprisingly long service life. It is essential that the brick lining in the furnace superstructure, that is to say in the gas atmosphere, contains no or as little Cr 2 O 3 as possible, since chromium can form toxic compounds with substances in the gas atmosphere. The best results were provided by masonry bricks made of pure MgO.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sowie die damit erzielbaren Vorteile werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Embodiments of the invention and the achievable therewith Advantages are explained below with reference to the drawing.

KURZE BESCHREIBUNG DER ZEICHNUNGBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

In der einzigen Figur der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung in Gestalt eines Querschnitts durch einen Glasschmelzofen mit unterschiedlichen Ausmauerungen im Unter- und Oberbau des Ofens.In the single figure of the drawing is an embodiment the invention in the form of a cross section through a Glass melting furnace with different brick lining in the and superstructure of the furnace.

WEGE ZUR AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGWAYS OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Der Schmelzofen für Filterstaub gemäss Fig.3 umfasst ein Ofengefäss 1, bestehend aus Ofenunterbau 2 und Ofenoberbau 3. Beide sind innen mit Feuerfestmaterial 4 bzw. 5 ausgemauert. Die Ausmauerung selbst besteht aus dicht an dicht gesetzten Ziegeln, die untereinander mittels einem dem Feuerfestmaterial entsprechendem Feuerfestmörtel verbunden sind.The melting furnace for filter dust according to Figure 3 comprises an oven vessel 1, consisting of furnace base 2 and furnace top 3. Both are lined with refractory material 4 or 5 on the inside. The lining itself consists of tightly packed ones Bricks that are connected to each other using a refractory material appropriate refractory mortar are connected.

Im Schmelzbereich im Unterbau 2 - das maximale Niveau der Schmelze ist durch eine strichlierte Linie angedeutet - bestehen diese Ziegel hauptsächlich aus Al2O3, Cr2O3 und ZrO2, mit einem Massenanteil des Cr2O3 zwischen 20 und 50 %, vorzugsweise um 30 %. Alternativ können es auch Ziegel aus MgO und Cr2O3 sein mit einem Anteil des Cr2O3 zwischen 10 und 30 %, vorzugsweise < 20 % Cr2O3.In the melting area in substructure 2 - the maximum level of the melt is indicated by a dashed line - these bricks consist mainly of Al 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 , with a mass fraction of Cr 2 O 3 between 20 and 50%, preferably by 30%. Alternatively, it can also be bricks made of MgO and Cr 2 O 3 with a Cr 2 O 3 content between 10 and 30%, preferably <20% Cr 2 O 3 .

In der Gasatmosphäre, also im Ofenoberbau 3, hingegen besteht die Ausmauerung 5 aus Ziegeln die praktisch Cr2O3-frei sind und z.B. aus 80 und mehr % MgO, vorzugsweise 90 % MgO, bestehen. In the gas atmosphere, ie in the furnace superstructure 3, on the other hand, the lining 5 consists of bricks which are practically Cr 2 O 3 -free and consist, for example, of 80% and more MgO, preferably 90% MgO.
