DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018]
 Preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
 First, referring to FIG. 1, an outline of the slag treatment process using an electric furnace according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0019]
 As shown in FIG. 1, molten pig iron is produced using a blast furnace in ironmaking step (S1), pig iron is refined to steel by using a converter or the like in the steel making process (S2). The steel making process (S2), the sulfur in the hot metal, phosphorus, desulfurization to remove carbon and the like, dephosphorization, and each step of the decarburization, removed to component adjustment gases and sulfur such as hydrogen remaining in the molten steel a secondary refining step of performing (S6), and a continuous casting step of casting the molten steel in a continuous casting machine (S7).
[0020]
 Of steel making process (S2), mainly dephosphorization (S4), decarburization (S5) is performed in the converter. In a converter furnace, molten iron is refined by using a flux composed mainly of calcium oxide. In this case, C in the molten iron by oxygen blown into the converter furnace, Si, P, Mn and the like are oxidized, the oxide is calcium oxide and ties slag. Furthermore, desulfurization, the dephosphorization, the step of decarburization (S3, S4, S5), components of different slag each (desulfurization slag, dephosphorization slag, decarburized slag) is generated.
[0021]
 In the description herein, collectively slag generated in the steel making process and steel slag, the steel slag is a concept including desulfurization slag, dephosphorization slag, decarburized slag. Also refers to the steelmaking slag in the high temperature molten state and the molten slag, similarly, the desulfurization slag in the molten state, respectively dephosphorization slag, decarburized slag, molten desulfurization slag, molten dephosphorization slag, and molten decarburization slag It referred to.
[0022]
 In slag treatment step (S10), the molten slag generated in the steelmaking process (S2), and transported to the electric furnace from the converter remain in the molten state, by continuously reducing melt modified with an electric furnace , recovered valuable materials in the molten slag (Fe, valuable elements such as P) in the molten iron layer is a layer of molten slag layer. In this case, in the electric furnace, Fe in the molten slag, the reduction processing of oxides of P, and the like, the processing for separating the granulated metallic iron (the iron) from the slag, as maintaining the basicity of the slag is carried out.
[0023]
 As a result, the high phosphorous molten iron is recovered containing phosphorus content or the like which is separated from the molten slag, and a steel slag molten slag is reformed reducing Kai, high-quality reduction slag substantial blast furnace slag is recovered . This reduction slag, FeO compared with the previous reduction, P 2 O 5 because of the low content of such can be recycled to the cement material, ceramic products and the like. Further, since the low expansion by adjusting the components such basicity of the molten slag is lowered, it can be used as roadbed material or aggregate.
[0024]
 Furthermore, dephosphorization for high phosphorous molten iron, which is the recovery by performing (S11), by shifting by oxidizing the P in the molten iron in the slag, separating high phosphorous molten iron in a high phosphoric slag and molten iron It is. High phosphate slag, can be recycled as a phosphate fertilizers and phosphoric acid raw materials. Further, the molten iron is recycled to the steel making process (S2), it is charged into the converter or the like.
[0025]
 Above was an overview of the slag treatment process according to the present embodiment. The process of the various molten slag produced in the steel making process (S2), it is preferable to be processed molten dephosphorization slag. Melting dephosphorization slag is a lower temperature than the melting decarburization slag contains a large amount of granulated metallic iron and phosphoric acid. Therefore, the molten dephosphorization slag, rather than oxidation treatment, by melting modified by reduction treatment, recovery efficiency of valuable elements by the process (Fe, P, etc.) is increased. Therefore, in the following description, as a molten slag to be processed, an example of using mainly molten dephosphorization slag. However, as the molten slag of the present invention is not limited to molten dephosphorization slag, it is possible to use molten desulfurization slag, melt decarburization slag, etc., any steelmaking slag generated in the steelmaking process.
[0026]
 Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 2-7, an electrical furnace 1 is described for use in the slag treatment process (S10) in the slag treatment process.
 In the electric furnace 1 is S10, a furnace to form a molten slag layer 5 and the molten iron layer 6 therein.
 Electric furnace 1 has a furnace bottom 11, a cylindrical furnace wall 12, and a furnace roof 13. Furnace bottom 11, each of the inner surface of the furnace wall 12, and furnace roof 13, refractories are lined.
[0027]
 In the first embodiment and the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the slag charging port 14 is formed in the furnace roof 13. Slag inlet 14 is covered with slag-on door 14a of the movable retractable in a direction A in FIG. Electric furnace 1 is sealed with the exception of the slag charging port 14, it can be kept in the furnace. Slag inlet 14 can be turned directly or by way of the inclined trough from the slag transport container molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a from the slag transport container.
 In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7, in a state where the furnace roof 13 is moved to the side of the furnace wall 12, an open part is formed above the furnace wall 12, this opening is the slag charging port 14.
 Further, a direct current furnace stationary type as an electric furnace 1 in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, but illustrates a direct current furnace of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the tilting type, may be used alternating current furnace.
[0028]
 First, 2 to 5, illustrating a direct current furnace stationary type according to the first embodiment.
 In the center of the electric furnace 1, the upper electrode 15 and the furnace bottom electrode 16 are opposed vertically. A DC voltage is applied to the upper electrode 15 and the furnace bottom electrode 16, by generating an arc discharge between the upper electrode 15 and the furnace bottom electrode 16, the energy required to reduce the molten slag 4 is supplied.
 It is formed reducing material injection nozzle 33 in the furnace wall 12. Reducing agent injection nozzle 33 is a device for supplying auxiliary raw materials such as reduction material and reforming material necessary for the reduction treatment of the slag 4. Reducing material, coke powder anthracite powder, powdered carbonaceous material such as graphite powder are used. Reducing material is also a suppression means when the slag foaming occurs. Modifier mainly SiO in the slag 2 or Al, 2 O 3 is intended to adjust the concentration, silica sand, fly ash, and the like waste refractory powders can be used. Reducing agent injection nozzle 33 is also the suppression means when the slag foaming occurs. Reducing agent injection nozzle 33 may be formed on both the furnace wall 12 and furnace cover 13.
 The furnace lid 13 duct 32 is provided an exhaust duct.
[0029]
 Furnace bottom 11 has a deep bottom 11d, a bottom shallow shallow bottom 11a than the deep bottom 11d.
 Shallow portion 11a, when charging a molten slag 4 or coagulation slag mass 4a to the electric furnace 1, assuming that they are exposed from the surface of the molten iron layer 6, are placed closer to the furnace wall 12 there. During slag processing, in addition to sometimes molten iron or molten steel is charged into an electric furnace together with the molten slag, for hot metal is produced with the slag reducing the height of the molten iron layer 6 is increased. When thickened is molten iron layer beyond a certain, as it reduces the height of the molten iron layer 6 by opening the tap hole 18 for discharging molten iron, the period after the reduction by exposing the shallow bottom 11a from the molten iron layer 6, It is assumed to be charged with molten slag and then reduction treatment in this state to the electric furnace 1. However, shallow portion 11a when not exposed from the molten iron layer 6, not can not be charged with molten slag, if lower to some extent than the upper height of the shallow bottom part 11a of the molten iron layer, it was charged since vigorous mixing is suppressed between the molten slag 4 and molten iron layer 6, it is possible to achieve the object of the present invention.
[0030]
 In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2-5, an electric furnace 1 will be described with a circular cross-section. Shallow portion 11a, when charging a molten slag 4 or coagulation slag mass 4a to the electric furnace 1, assuming that the furnace bottom 11 is above the thickness of the molten iron layer 6 in the raised portion There, a region having an overlap with the slag charging port 14 in plan view, the furnace bottom 11 is partially raised portion. In other words, in a plan view, the existence region of the existence region and slag inlet 14 of the shallow bottom portion 11a is partially or entirely overlap. Without a slag holding furnace, molten slag 4 or coagulation slag mass 4a is generated by the steel making process, the injection from the slag-carrying container 21 directly, or via an inclined gutter 23 from the slag-carrying container 21 into an electric furnace 1 It is. Molten slag 4 or coagulation slag mass 4a, since flows through the slag charging port 14, the molten slag flowing from the spout would fall toward the shallow bottom portion 11a. That is, the shallow bottom portion 11a flows down from the slag charging port 14 will include a falling position of the molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a.
 Shallow bottom 11a is formed, for example, by the furnace bottom 11 is shallower stepwise. Shallow bottom 11a is constituted by refractory similar to the inner surface of the other portions of the furnace bottom 11. The furnace lid 13 slag inlet 14 is formed.
[0031]
 Although FIGS. 2-5 in the hearth 11 is shallow bottom 11a by going one step shallower formed, the shallow portion 11a is not limited to this shape. For example, by the furnace bottom 11 becomes shallow over two or more stages, to shallow portion 11a may be formed, not a stepwise, by shallower form a continuous slope, shallow bottom 11a is formed it may be. Further, the shallow portion 11a may not necessarily have a horizontal surface as shown in FIG. Shallow bottom part 11a below the slag charging port 14, height 150mm or more for the deepest portion of the deep portion 11d, a following areas 500 mm, the area ratio in plan view of the shallow bottom part 11a against the bottom of the furnace 11 is less than 5% , as long as you meet the 40% or less, the total shallow portion 11a may be a stepped shape or slope shape. However, if the shallow portion 11a has a horizontal surface, without decreasing the furnace capacity than necessary, preferable in that it can secure an area ratio in a plan view of the shallow bottom part 11a against the bottom of the furnace 11 at least 5%.
[0032]
 Figure 4 As shown in 1-6, the basic assumptions, molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a is inserted through the slag-carrying container 21 or slug transport container 21, through the inclined trough 23 into an electric furnace 1 If it is, molten slag 4 is turned from the slag charging port 14, it flows down into the molten slag layer 5. Although the molten slag layer 5 by flowing down molten slag 4 is disturbed, run down and the place has a shallow bottom 11a, since the molten iron layer 6 is not present in the lower layer of the molten slag layer 5 in this location, immediately turned molten slag 4 is not contact the molten iron layer 6. Therefore, molten slag 4 immediately after the injection, due to rapidly react with the molten iron layer 6, slag foaming is prevented.
[0033]
 As shown in FIG. 2, the shallow bottom portion 11a, the height H is 150mm or more for the deepest portion of the deep portion 11d, which is less area 500 mm. This, if there is 150mm or more height, newly molten slag 4 which is charged is effective to alleviate the situation in which vigorous mixing with molten iron layer 6 with the original is because expected. The reason why the height with respect to the deepest portion of the deep portion 11d is 500mm or less, while not meaning to be 500mm greater, because the so high that adverse furnace capacity decreases are concerned.
[0034]
 As shown in FIG. 3, S the area in plan view of the deep bottom 11d 1 , an area in plan view of the shallow bottom part 11a S 2 When the area ratio in plan view of the shallow bottom part 11a against the bottom of the furnace 11 ((S 2 / (S 1 + S 2 )) × 100) is more than 5%, is preferably 40% or less. By area ratio is 5% or more, can be the ratio of molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a enjoy mixing relaxation effect is ensured, suppressing severe forming generation as a whole slag. If the area ratio is 40 percent, whereas it is hardly effect of suppressing the forming product is increased, and the molten iron capacity of the molten iron layer 6, the interfacial area between the molten iron layer 6 and the molten slag layer 5 becomes smaller , it is caused concern that the reduction efficiency is reduced. Moreover, since the shallow portion 11a exceeds 40% contained in the high current density region of the furnace bottom 11, the shallow bottom portion 11a is easily depleted.
 Incidentally, the shallow bottom portion 11a in the present invention "height H to the deepest portion of the deep portion 11d is 150mm or more, 500 mm or less in the region" because it is defined as, S 1 and S 2 the boundaries of the deepest portion of the deep portion 11d the height H to is the position of 150 mm.
[0035]
 Further, 4 and 5, the shallow bottom portion 11a, although Chinsen the molten slag layer 5 while exposed from molten iron layer 6 may be exposed from the molten slag layer 5. In this case, molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a injected from the slag charging port 14, after impinging on the surface of the shallow bottom portion 11a, flows into the molten slag layer 5 flows down the surface of the shallow bottom portion 11a. By molten slag 4 collides with the surface of the shallow bottom part 11a, since the kinetic energy is attenuated, from the shallow bottom portion 11a, it is not the molten slag 4 or coagulation slag mass 4a to molten iron layer 6 is mixed vigorously. Accordingly, it is suppressed that the molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a and molten iron is rapidly reacted, slag foaming is suppressed.
[0036]
 Here, when the solidified slag lumps 4a was charged, as shown in FIG. 5, have to be deposited on the first shallow bottom part on 11a is assumed, when in a state of being immersed in the molten slag layer 5 in the since the solidified slag lumps 4a to move from first dissolved in the molten slag layer 5 to the upper portion of the molten iron layer 6, it never solidified slag lumps 4a is mixed directly with the molten iron layer 6, contained in the coagulation slag mass 4a FeO, etc. to be found because it is avoided that react violently with C in the molten iron, thereby preventing slag foaming.
 Furthermore, by having a shallow bottom 11a, as compared with the structure having no shallow bottom 11a, since it is possible to quickly put rate of the molten slag 4 or coagulation slag lumps 4a, it can shorten the time to open the furnace during the slag on. Therefore, time is also longer capable of maintaining a reducing atmosphere in a sealed state in the furnace, there is also an effect that is raised reduction rate.
[0037]
 Depending shallow bottom part 11a of the furnace bottom 11, the mixing of the molten iron layer 6 in the molten slag 4 and the electric furnace 1, even if they are suppressed by the molten slag layer 5 (T.Fe) to increase slag at the interface of the molten slag layer 5 and the molten iron layer 6 is reacted with C in the molten iron to generate CO gas, there is a case where it induces slag foaming. By placing the carbonaceous material powder from the reduction material injection nozzle 33 in which case, through the defoaming and reduction of forming slag, the forming can be sedated.
[0038]
 In addition, the furnace wall 12, preferably a tapping port 17 for discharging the reducing slag, a tap hole 18 for discharging molten iron is provided. Dekasuguchi 17, the position corresponding to the molten slag layer 5, specifically formed at a position higher than the highest height of the shallow bottom portion 11a, the tap hole 18 is formed at a position corresponding to the molten iron layer 6.
[0039]
 Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
 The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the electric furnace was tilted furnace.
 In the second embodiment, elements having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same numerals, and a description will be given mainly the differences from the first embodiment.
[0040]
 As shown in FIG. 6, an electric furnace 1a according to the second embodiment is tilting furnace.
 Electric furnace 1a includes a tilt (not shown) to tilt the electric furnace 1a portion of the furnace wall 12, which is positioned higher than the deep bottom 11d, a tapping port 17 for discharging molten slag 4 by tilting, Dekasuguchi in the position facing the 17, provided on the extension of the deep bottom 11d, having a furnace bottom tap hole 18a for discharging the molten iron in the molten iron layer 6 by tilting.
 Thus, the electric furnace 1 may be a tilting furnace.
[0041]
 Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
 The third embodiment, in the second embodiment in that the furnace lid 13, and movable between the side of the upper end and the furnace wall 12 of the furnace wall 12.
 In the third embodiment, elements having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same numerals, will be described mainly the differences from the first embodiment.
[0042]
 As shown in FIG. 7, an electric furnace 1a according to the third embodiment, between the side of the upper end and the furnace wall 12 of the furnace wall 12 furnace lid 13 is movable in the direction B in FIG. 7 . The movement locus of the furnace roof 13 may be linear, may be arcuate. Moving track arcuate furnace lid 13 is a so-called swivel furnace lid.
 In a state where the furnace roof 13 is located at the upper end of the furnace wall 12, the interior of the electric furnace 1 as in FIG 2 is sealed.
 In a state where the furnace roof 13 is moved to the side of the furnace wall 12, an open part is formed above the furnace wall 12 as shown in FIG. 7, the opening portion serves as slag inlet 14.
 Thus, the slag charging port 14 is not necessarily provided in the furnace lid 13, by moving the furnace lid 13 relative to the furnace wall 12 may be formed an opening and the slag charging port 14.

 Slag infusion rate is 5t / min, in the case of 10t / min, 20t / min, when there is no shallow bottom 11a was injected molten slag 4 reaches the molten iron layer 6, partially plunged into molten iron layer as to react with C in the molten iron is foreseen. In particular 10t / min, 20t / min, the reaction is violent, was found scattered mixed and the molten slag and molten iron.
 On the other hand, if there is shallow bottom 11a, slug injection rate even 10t / min, injected molten slag 4 is hardly react with molten iron layer 6, thus the molten iron and the mixture of molten slag 4 splashing also It was considered to be no.
 From this result, by providing the shallow bottom portion 11a, which is injected molten slag 4 is mixed with molten iron layer 6 it was found to be prevented from being violently react.
[0046]
(Example 1)
 Next, as the reducing reformer, an electric furnace 1 shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 were actual operation under the conditions shown in FIG. The specific procedure is as follows.
 First, as an electric furnace 1, a direct current electric furnace of the sealed stationary type furnace inner diameter of 6 m, a part of the water-cooled furnace lid, for introduction of molten slag 4 and the coagulation slag lumps 4a, the slug-on door 14a of the openable comprising, we were prepared which has a slag inlet 14.
 The electric furnace 1, directly under the slag charging port 14, the height from the hearth deepest portion is provided in the refractory of 450 mm, the shallow bottom portion 11a. The shape of the shallow portion 11a is in contact at one end to the furnace wall 12, furnace is refractory steel blocks rectangular. Area ratio in plan view of the shallow bottom part 11a against the furnace bottom was 10%. The furnace cover 13 is provided a duct 32 for exhaust gas discharge, and connecting the duct 32 to the combustible gas combustion cooling precipitator.
 The lower end of the tap hole 18 is at a height of 250mm from the furnace bottom innermost portion and the lower end of the tapping opening 17 was set to a height of 450mm from the hearth deepest portion.
 The point furnace residue (before slag on) are, [C] and 2.6% of molten iron 54 t, were molten slag 25t which is reduced to 1% (T.Fe).
[0047]
 Then, opening the slag-on door 14a, the molten slag 20t conveyed from the converter 4 ((T.Fe) 18% is) via a movable slag trough, into the furnace slag transport container 21 in 10 minutes, it was continuously charged into the electric furnace 1. Thus infusion rate becomes 2t / min on average. Slag is turned achieving suppression of reduction in response input power to 2MW, it was returned to 20MW after turning completion.
[0048]
 Before introduction of the molten slag 4, the level of the molten slag layer 5 that was the height of 630mm from the furnace bottom 11, in turned, but rose to the level of more than 1200 mm, though the slag on with short time of 10 minutes not, without causing bumping by mixing with molten iron layer 6, it was possible to complete the stably charged.
 From the start of feeding of the molten slag 4, it supplies the coke powder with 60 kg / min through a reducing agent injection nozzle 33 of the furnace lid 13 to complete the supply of coke powder 3.0t in 50 minutes from the feeding start of the molten slag 4.
[0049]
 After introduction of the molten slag 4, once it closed slag poured door 14a, 5t coagulation slag lumps 4a reopened after 5 minutes, were charged at once. Solidified slag lumps 4a is a slag solidified adhering to the slag-carrying container 21 at the time of turn-on of molten slag 4, maintained a 950 ° C.. Charged coagulation slag mass 4a is not in contact with the molten iron layer 6 is deposited on the shallow bottom portion 11a of the molten slag layer 5 in the furnace, it began to dissolve in the molten slag layer 5 over time.
 After introduction of coagulated slag mass 4a is quickly closed the slug-on door 14a, to ensure the sealing of the furnace was carried out slag reduction treatment with coke powder charged in a reducing gas atmosphere.
[0050]
 Through sedation time 10 minutes coke powder turned completed, the slag (T.Fe) after 60 minutes from the start slag charged could be reduced to 1% or less. It performs slag charged in a short time, then since a sealed furnace, it is possible to keep the furnace in a reducing atmosphere during reduction, presumably because reduction has progressed.
 During this time, the slag basicity ((CaO) / (SiO 2 a)), in order to reduce to 1.2 proper levels were 6.5t supplied sand from the reducing material injection nozzle 33.
 After a total process is completed, open the tapping port with an opening machine, a reduction slag 23t discharged outside of the furnace, and closed porosity in Maddogan.
[0051]
 Meanwhile, after charged with molten slag 4 into an electric furnace 1 at 10 min, where the solidification slag lumps 4a adhered to the slag-carrying container 21 is discharged to the earth floor, and weighed placed in slag lumps turned chute, about 6t met It was. The solidified slag lumps 4a while maintaining a high temperature, and it turned into an electric furnace 1 using a chute immediately after the next introduction of molten slag 4.
[0052]
 Repeat 5 times the operation, where the input amount of the molten slag 4 solidified slag lumps 4a reaches total 120t, and 27t discharging molten iron open the tap hole 18, leaving a Molten 54t in the furnace. Estimating the height of the tapping before the molten iron layer 6 was 440mm from the hearth 11, but after discharge was reduced to 300 mm.
[0053]
 From the above results, by using the electric furnace 1 having a shallow bottom 11a, without also causing the forming in a short time of slag on, since the reduction in a reducing atmosphere to seal the furnace after completion slag on, molten slag 4 and it was found that it is using the coagulation slag lumps 4a reducing modification.
[0054]
(Example 2)
 as a reducing reformer, using an electric furnace 1 shown in FIGS. 2-5, as shown in FIG. 10, was operated at different conditions as in Example 1. The specific procedure is as follows.
[0055]

Therefore, the input speed is twice the first embodiment, the input time is half the first embodiment.
[0056]
 Before introduction of the molten slag 4, furnace slag level was at a height of about 630mm from the furnace bottom 11, turned end, due to rapidly increased to 1500mm or more levels, reduced material provided in two places of the furnace wall 12 from injection nozzle 33, yelling blown at 100 kg / min coke powder in the vicinity of the hot metal flow. As a result, the slag level began to descend, thereafter, since it was possible to complete the stable turned discontinued coke powder blown from the reducing agent injection nozzle 33 after 4 minutes.
[0057]
 Charged condition of coke powder from furnace lid 13, the input conditions for the solidification slag mass 4a is the same as in Example 1.
[0058]
 Through sedation time 15 minutes coke powder turned completed, the slag (T.Fe) after 60 minutes from the start of feeding of the molten slag 4 could be reduced to 1% or less. During this time, the slag basicity ((CaO) / (SiO 2 a)), in order to reduce to 1.2 proper levels were 6.5t supplied sand from the reducing material injection nozzle 33.
[0059]
 After a total process is completed, open the tapping port 17 with an opening machine, a reduction slag 23t discharged outside of the furnace, and closed porosity in Maddogan.
[0060]
 Meanwhile, after charged into the electric furnace 1 the molten slag 4 in 5 minutes, where the solidification slag lumps 4a adhered to the slag-carrying container 21 is discharged to the earth floor, and weighed placed in slag lumps turned chute, at about 6t there were. The solidified slag lumps 4a while maintaining a high temperature, and it turned into an electric furnace 1 using a chute immediately after the next molten slag on.
[0061]
 Repeat 5 times the operation, where the input amount of the molten slag 4 solidified slag lumps 4a reaches total 120t, and 27t discharging molten iron open the tap hole 18, leaving a Molten 54t in the furnace. Estimating the height of the tapping before the metal level was 440mm from the hearth 11, but after discharge was reduced to 300 mm.
[0062]
 From the above results, by using the electric furnace 1 having a shallow bottom 11a and reducing material injection nozzle 33, despite the slag on with as little as 5 minutes, while suppressing the forming, molten slag 4 and the coagulation slag it has been found that it is reducing reformed using a mass 4a.
[0063]
