The Blast Furnace Slag Mineral Wool Furnace is a specialized, environmentally friendly melting equipment designed for recycling blast furnace slag and producing high-value mineral wool products. It integrates efficient electric heating technology, blast furnace slag resource utilization, and low-carbon production, specifically targeting the metallurgical industry’s blast furnace slag (a byproduct of ironmaking) as the core raw material. By melting blast furnace slag at 1500-1700℃ and optimizing molten slag properties, the furnace provides stable, low-viscosity molten material for mineral wool fiber formation. This equipment not only solves the environmental pollution problem of blast furnace slag stockpiling but also converts waste into high-quality thermal insulation materials, making it a key device for iron and steel enterprises to achieve circular economy and green transformation.
The Blast Furnace Slag Mineral Wool Furnace is a professional electric melting device optimized for blast furnace slag utilization and mineral wool production. It adopts a combination of electric arc heating and auxiliary thermal compensation technology to remelt and homogenize blast furnace slag (which is discharged at 1400-1500℃ with residual heat) into uniform, low-impurity molten slag. The molten material is then sent to centrifugal spinners or fiberizing equipment to produce mineral wool products with excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance, sound absorption, and corrosion resistance. Unlike traditional mineral wool furnaces that rely on mineral raw materials (e.g., basalt), this furnace maximizes the use of industrial byproducts, reducing resource consumption and environmental pressure.
- Blast Furnace Slag High-Value Utilization: Directly uses blast furnace slag (liquid or solid) as the main raw material (proportion ≥80%), converting industrial waste into high-value mineral wool products, reducing slag stockpiling land occupation and environmental pollution.
- Residual Heat Recycling: Takes advantage of the residual heat of liquid blast furnace slag (1400-1500℃), reducing preheating energy consumption by 30-40% compared with furnaces using cold raw materials; further improves energy efficiency through flue gas waste heat recovery.
- Molten Slag Remelting & Homogenization: Electric arc heating supplements heat to raise the slag temperature to 1550-1700℃, decomposing residual crystalline phases and impurities in the slag; through electromagnetic stirring or mechanical stirring, the molten slag’s chemical composition and viscosity (1.0-2.5 Pa·s) are optimized for stable fiber formation.
- Low-Carbon & Environmental Protection: Electric heating avoids fossil fuel combustion emissions; equipped with efficient flue gas purification systems, realizing near-zero pollutant emissions; the whole production process meets international environmental standards.
- Continuous Large-Scale Production: Matches the blast furnace’s continuous slag discharge rhythm, with a melting capacity of 15-80t/h, supporting annual mineral wool production of 20,000-100,000 tons, meeting large-scale industrial production needs.
- Feeding Stage: Liquid blast furnace slag from the ironmaking blast furnace is transported to the furnace through a sealed trough (or solid slag is crushed and fed into the furnace); the feeding speed is synchronized with the blast furnace’s slag discharge rhythm.
- Heat Supplement & Remelting Stage: The electric heating system starts, and graphite electrodes generate high-temperature arcs to supplement heat for the blast furnace slag, raising the temperature from 1400-1500℃ to 1550-1700℃, ensuring complete melting of the slag and decomposition of impurities.
- Homogenization Stage: The stirring system (electromagnetic/mechanical) stirs the molten slag violently, eliminating composition and temperature gradients, and adjusting the slag viscosity to 1.0-2.5 Pa·s (1600℃) to meet fiber formation requirements.
- Discharging & Fiber Formation Stage: The homogenized molten slag flows out stably through the overflow port or tapping port, then is sent to centrifugal spinners for high-speed fiberization, forming mineral wool fibers with uniform thickness and good flexibility.
- Waste Heat Recovery & Flue Gas Treatment Stage: High-temperature flue gas is cooled by the heat exchanger (recovering waste heat), then purified by the dust collector and desulfurization device to meet emission standards before discharge.
- High Resource Utilization Rate: Blast furnace slag utilization rate ≥80%, turning industrial waste into high-value mineral wool products, reducing slag stockpiling and environmental pollution, in line with circular economy policies.
- Superior Energy Efficiency: Takes advantage of liquid blast furnace slag’s residual heat, reducing power consumption by 30-40% compared with traditional mineral wool furnaces; waste heat recovery further improves energy utilization rate, lowering production costs.
- Stable Fiber Formation Quality: Through precise temperature control and efficient stirring, the molten slag’s composition and viscosity are uniform, reducing fiber breakage rate; the produced mineral wool has excellent thermal insulation (thermal conductivity ≤0.038W/(m·K)) and fire resistance (class A1).
- Strong Adaptability to Slag Quality: Automatically adjusts heating power and stirring intensity according to changes in blast furnace slag composition (e.g., CaO/SiO₂ ratio) and temperature, ensuring stable production even with fluctuating slag quality.
- Environmentally Friendly & Low Carbon: Electric heating has no SO₂, NOₓ, or dust emissions from fuel combustion; the flue gas treatment system achieves near-zero pollutant emissions, meeting global strict environmental standards.
- Seamless Matching with Blast Furnaces: The feeding system is synchronized with the blast furnace’s slag discharge rhythm, realizing continuous slag reception and treatment, avoiding slag accumulation affecting blast furnace operation.
