Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for reducing pollutant emissions, in particular in the form of pyrolysis products, from metal casting boxes used in foundries.
  • the invention further relates to metal casting boxes for carrying out the method.
  • the pollutant emissions that occur during metal casting are mostly released at the casting line itself as well as at the cooling line and unpacking point, i.e. directly after the hot liquid metal is filled in.
  • the pollutants escape, for example, through the neck of the two mold halves.
  • a further release of a larger amount of emissions takes place when the hot molding material is removed from the metal casting mold (unpacking point).
  • Occasional combustion of the escaping emissions takes place or is triggered by an ignition flame. However, such burns only take place if the local concentration, temperature and calorific value of the emissions are sufficient for this.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of further developing the method mentioned at the outset so that an effective reduction in pollutant emissions is achieved with little effort.
  • the process should be applicable to all metal molds, regardless of the composition and the amount of emissions.
  • this object is achieved in that at least one additional combustible substance is added to the metal casting boxes, which - if it is not gaseous - turns into a gaseous state when heated and burns together with the pollutants when it emerges from the metal casting boxes.
  • the invention is therefore based on the idea of ensuring, by adding an additional combustible substance, that the pollutants then also burn. The joint combustion of pollutants and the flammable substance therefore takes place almost independently of the amount and the calorific value of the pollutants.
  • Metal molds generally consist of at least two parts, preferably two mold halves. At least one of these mold halves, preferably two mold halves, enclose the molding sand, which can be, for example, a porous sand material pressed using additives and pressure. The shape of the molding sand determines the outer contour of the later cast. Optionally, one or more mold cores can be added to the casting space, which then determine the inner contour and cavities of the cast material.
  • pollutant emissions to be odorous and harmful gases, smoke, dusts and / or aerosols released into the ambient air.
  • An additional combustible substance used according to the invention is an organic substance which preferably contains a wax or an oil, particularly preferably a ketone, an aldehyde, ether, alkane or alcohol.
  • This substance is therefore a chemical compound that burns through self-ignition or with the help of an ignition flame when it comes out of the mold box in gaseous form and comes into contact with the outside air.
  • This substance is added to the metal casting box in addition to the additives commonly used in metal casting.
  • Such a combustible substance preferably has a high calorific value.
  • flammable substances which only burn in the presence of ambient air or are highly flammable or ignite themselves are preferred for carrying out the method according to the invention. Flammable substances are particularly preferred which, under the conditions of a metal casting, only burn under self-ignition or with the aid of an ignition flame when they exit the metal casting mold.
  • a flammable gas (natural gas) can also be used as the flammable substance. This can be pushed into the molding sand with the help of injection pipes and can be controlled as required.
  • the use of gas is particularly favorable in the case of stationary, that is to say molds which are not produced on the line - without transporting the container.
  • the combustible substance added to the metal casting mold mixes in gaseous form with the pollutants in the metal casting mold and escapes together with them. When this mixture is burned, the pollutants are also burned by the heat of combustion of the additional combustible substance added according to the invention.
  • the additional substance is preferably the metal casting boxes in the outer molding sand
  • the additional combustible substance is introduced into at least one of the mold sand halves after pressing and casting by injection and / or before pressing by mixing with the molding sand or parts of the molding sand.
  • liquid combustible substance basically enables the substance to be stored in the cavities between the molding sand grains and to be distributed by capillary forces.
  • the additional flammable substance can namely be added to the metal mold evenly or locally concentrated.
  • the point of addition should be chosen so that thorough mixing with the pollutants in the gas phase is achieved, which can flow, for example, along gaps or channels provided in the molding sand or the outer casting mold itself. Avoid direct contact of the added flammable substance with the hot liquid castings, as this would generate a strong spontaneous pressure wave.
  • the method according to the invention is also not intended to influence existing, optimized molding techniques and / or materials.
  • the addition of the additional fuel has therefore proven to be particularly advantageous only after the liquid metal has been poured into the casting mold. Even a small spread of the additional fuel - gaseous or liquid
  • the aim is to position the additional combustible substance in the molding sand in such a way that it mixes with the pollutants of the casting mold in the sense of optimal combustion of the pollutant / substance mixture.
  • an advantageous optimal dosage of the additional substance take place.
  • combustion of the pollutants can be optimized for the entire emission period. In a particularly advantageous manner, just so much additional flammable gas is emitted that the escaping pollutants burn in a permanent flame.
  • At least one additional combustible substance is positioned in front of the attachment edge of the mold and / or in front of at least one outlet opening of the mold, particularly preferably in the molding sand in front of the attachment edge of the mold and / or in front of at least one outlet opening of the mold.
  • the amount of the combustible substance to be added depends on the dimensions, the structure and the composition of the respective metal casting mold. In addition to positioning in the metal casting box, the amount of substance and the composition of the substance also determine the extent of the combustion of the released pollutants.
  • At least such an amount of additional combustible substance is added to the mold that combustion of the pollutants is ensured at least during part of the cooling phase of the casting process, preferably until the mold is opened, particularly preferably until the cast goods are detached.
  • An additional addition of fuel is particularly preferred which, by penetrating the entire molding material - when the casting box is broken open to remove the cast goods - ensures complete combustion of all contaminants which are still stored in the molding sand.
  • the entire molding sand burns openly with a large surface.
  • a second or repeated addition / injection of fuel into the mold can also be carried out.
  • any compound or a mixture of compounds which is combustible and flammable under the conditions of a metal casting process can be used as the flammable substance.
  • a large number of such compounds or mixtures are known to the person skilled in the art which, at the higher temperatures and ambient conditions in the metal Casting box and / or at the edge of the neck have the required properties during escape and contact with atmospheric oxygen.
  • the additional combustible substances used in the process preferably contain at least one organic substance, preferably a wax or an oil, particularly preferably a ketone, an aldehyde, ether, alkanes or alcohol.
  • Substances are particularly advantageous which do not decompose due to the low heat exposure caused by the positioning according to the invention, but pass chemically unchanged into the gas phase.
  • Flammable substances which have a boiling point between 20 ° C. and 200 ° C. are preferably used, particularly preferably substances with a boiling point between 50 ° C. and 100 ° C.
  • substances which burn to form low-odor and harmless compounds are preferred for carrying out the process.
  • gases which burn to form carbon dioxide and water are very preferably gas mixtures which burn to form carbon dioxide and water.
  • the added substances can be present, for example, as a solid, but preferably as a liquid when added to the metal casting mold. It is particularly favorable if the substances are present as a liquid when added to the metal casting mold and evaporate / boil when the hot metal or the hot exhaust gas emissions convey heat.
  • the transfer of the combustible substances into the gas phase is preferably mediated by thermal bridges on the part of the hot cast goods over the molding sand.
  • the heat spreading throughout the casting box which emanates from the cooling of the cast goods, reaches the combustible substance added according to the invention with a constant rise in temperature in the molding sand and converts it into the gas phase.
  • the substance evaporates due to the hot pollutants that are formed during the casting process, and preferably only burns together with the pollutants when it emerges from the mold and comes into contact with air.
  • the mixture of substances and pollutants can only be burned when it comes into contact with an ignition flame.
  • a good mixing of the pollutants with the additional substance is advantageous, which is ensured by a sufficiently long mixing section of the two gases before they come into contact with the outside air.
  • the invention further relates to a metal casting box which is modified to carry out the method according to the invention. It has proven to be particularly favorable if the metal casting box consists of at least two casting mold parts, in which at least one of the halves in the attachment edge has a groove as an outlet opening for gases. Grooves and holes in the molding sand that facilitate the removal of the gases can also be provided in an advantageous manner.
  • gas guides are provided within the molding sand, which lead into an outlet opening.
  • At least one of the two mold halves has a cutout in the molding sand for receiving combustible substances.

  • An exemplary measuring point is indicated at point 8 in FIG. 3.
  • the Y axis shows the mass of the pollutant quantity.
  • liquid metal is added to the metal mold and ignition of the pollutants is triggered at time t1.
  • the combustion has ended because the relatively low emission of pollutants no longer enables further combustion.
