TAMAYO, LILIANA MARCELA et al. PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ACCRETIONS IN A FLUIDIZED BED FURNACE FOR THE ROASTING OF BLENDE. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.175, pp.90-96. ISSN 0012-7353.

This study has of central aim to establish the physicochemical characteristics of the accretions present in an industrial furnace of sphalerite roasting (ZnS) operating at 945 ° C which, according to observations on plant, they are formed preferentially on surfaces at low temperature such as boiler output, cooling pipes and hoppers. The analysis by X-Ray Diffraction, Atomic Absorption, and Image Analysis showed that the main components of these deposits are zinc sulfate, lead sulfate and zinc ferrite. A thermodynamic analysis based on the construction of stability diagrams for the system Zn-Fe-Pb/SO₂(g)-O₂ (g) with X_Zn ≥ 0,5 (this is, X_Fe = 0,125 X_Pb = 0,015) between 300 to 900 º C, confirms the strong presence of ZnSO₄, Fe₂(SO₄)₃ , PbSO₄ and ZnFe₂O₄ under reactor operating conditions of roasting, validating this analysis with experimental observations.
