Design of Oxygen Bottom Blowing Lead Smelting Workshop
Lead smelting is a type of metal smelting process which is extensively applied in the production of lead materials such as lead alloys, lead oxides, lead sulfates and more. It is operated under relatively low temperature compared with other metal smelting processes. In the process, the oxygen bottom blowing lead smelting technology is employed to achieve better smelting efficiency and higher quality of the final lead products.
This article aims to provide an overview of the design of an oxygen bottom blowing lead smelting workshop and its corresponding facilities. Firstly, it is necessary to set up the furnace for lead smelting. It should be designed to provide enough space for storing the lead raw materials, in addition to the slots for outputting the liquid lead. The material of the furnace should be high temperature resistant and corrosion-proof. Then, the furnace must be lined with firebricks and have a dust hood and an exhaust fan above it. This can further reduce lead fumes and make sure the operation is safe.
Then, the workshop must provide an appropriate environment for workers. For example, the walls, windows, and doors must be made of non-flammable and heat-resistant materials for the safety of workers. The room should also be equipped with fresh air ventilation, which can provide enough fresh air for workers and protect them from harmful fumes produced from the smelting process. It is also necessary to provide lighting in the workshop, especially near the furnace, since it is crucial to ensure the safe operation by workers.
When it comes to the water treatment system, it is necessary to install a wastewater treatment plant to reduce the pollutant concentration in the water before releasing it out of the workshop. On the other hand, the raw materials used in lead smelting should also be treated so as to avoid potential environmental pollution caused by the metallic material.
Last but not least, an automated detection system must be installed to detect the quality of the lead products and their concentration of toxic elements. This can help to ensure the quality of the products and reduce environmental pollution caused by the lead materials. Furthermore, the fire safety equipment should also be checked regularly to prevent any potential accidents.
Thus, the above points illustrate the essential components of the design of an oxygen bottom blowing lead smelting workshop and its facilities. By establishing a suitable workshop and equipping it with the necessary equipment and devices, it is possible to ensure the safety of workers and reduce the risk of environmental pollution due to lead smelting.
