Title:
電気炉、有価金属の製造方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7400784
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Provided is a technology for executing stable processing by extending the furnace refractory life in an electric furnace for heating and melting a raw material containing a valuable metal. The present invention provides an electric furnace 1 for heating and melting a raw material 2 containing a valuable metal, the electric furnace 1 including: a furnace body 11; and a plurality of electrodes 12 that are provided so as to hang down into the interior of the furnace body 11 from a top section thereof. The raw material 2 is heated and melted in the furnace body 11 by energizing the electrodes 12 and a molten material consisting of a slag 3 and a metal 4 is generated. The electric furnace 1 is configured so that the overall heat transfer coefficient of a side wall 11B of the furnace body 11 is lower than the overall heat transfer coefficient of a side wall 11A of the furnace body 11, the side wall 11B coming into contact with a layer of the metal 4 formed in a bottom layer, the side wall 11A coming into contact with a layer of the slag 3 formed in a top layer, and said layers being formed in the molten material due to gravity separation.
