Description
本发明关于生产液态熔炼铁的方法。The present invention relates to a method of producing liquid smelting iron.
多年来已花费了相当大的努力以开发一种还原/熔炼方法,来取代生产液态熔炼铁的高炉,尤其是在小容量生产单元的体制中,可避免物料的准备,换句话说,就是直接利用矿石粉和炭。这种型式的方法很有意义,主要是,可避免涉及大量投资的设备,诸如生产焦炭用的设备和矿石烧结用的装备。Considerable effort has been expended over the years to develop a reduction/smelting method to replace the blast furnace for the production of liquid smelting iron, especially in the system of small capacity production units, avoiding the preparation of materials, in other words, the direct Utilize ore powder and charcoal. This type of process is of interest, mainly, in that equipment involving large investments, such as those for the production of coke and for the sintering of ore, can be avoided.
使用炭作还原剂的直接还原法(而不通过液相)是最有经济意义,尤其是在缺乏天然气资源的国家中。然而,这些方法的缺点是它们生产的预还原铁矿石具有高的硫含量(0.3-0.6wt%的S)。Direct reduction using char as a reducing agent (rather than via the liquid phase) makes the most economic sense, especially in countries lacking natural gas resources. However, a disadvantage of these methods is that they produce pre-reduced iron ore with a high sulfur content (0.3-0.6 wt% S).
这些方法中,以细颗粒形式使用矿石的那些方法(流化床或多膛炉技术)特别有意义,因为它们涉及到的麻烦最小的矿石形式。可以使用预还原铁矿石的颗粒,也可以使用获得的细粉形式,在生产钢的电炉内使用冷的或低温(<300℃)鼓风喷射工艺不会有任何困难。Of these methods, those using the ore in fine-grained form (fluidized bed or multiple hearth furnace technology) are of particular interest since they involve the least troublesome form of ore. Granules of pre-reduced iron ore can be used, as well as the obtained fine powder form, without any difficulty using the cold or low temperature (<300°C) blast injection process in electric furnaces for steel production.
然而,在生产钢的电炉内,大量使用这种型式的预还原铁矿石颗粒,存在两个问题:它引入了大量的硫,它在制钢电炉的氧化冶炼环境中是无法消除的,并且它降低了电炉的生产率,由于其从冷态开始还原-熔炼,消耗的能量大于由主原料,废铁消耗的能量。这就导致过多的能量消耗,其结果是生产率降低。However, the large use of this type of pre-reduced iron ore particles in electric furnaces for steel production has two problems: it introduces a large amount of sulfur, which cannot be eliminated in the oxidative smelting environment of steelmaking electric furnaces, and It reduces the productivity of the electric furnace because it starts reduction-smelting from a cold state and consumes more energy than that consumed by the main raw material, scrap iron. This leads to excessive energy consumption, with consequent reduction in productivity.
通过生产熔炼铁,而不是钢,可避免这些缺点,事实上,通过由还原炉直接引入预还原铁矿石颗粒(预还原细粉末),在约1000℃温度下。进入到生产熔炼铁的电炉中,可摆脱硫的问题。事实上,1000℃下将预还原的铁矿石颗粒送入炉内,大大减少了熔炼需要的能量。生产熔炼铁需要还原性介质,它能够减少约90%的硫。通过创造适宜的炉渣,可获得硫含量为0.03-0.06%的熔炼铁,运相当于标准级的熔炼铁,然后可用于所有熔炼铁的传统应用中,尤其可作为电炉的纯铁源。These disadvantages can be avoided by producing smelted iron, instead of steel, in fact, by introducing pre-reduced iron ore particles (pre-reduced fine powder) directly from the reduction furnace, at a temperature of about 1000°C. Into the electric furnaces that produce smelted iron to get rid of the sulfur problem. In fact, feeding pre-reduced iron ore particles into the furnace at 1000°C greatly reduces the energy required for smelting. The production of smelted iron requires a reducing medium capable of reducing sulfur by about 90%. By creating a suitable slag, molten iron can be obtained with a sulfur content of 0.03-0.06%, which is equivalent to standard grade molten iron, which can then be used in all traditional applications of iron smelting, especially as a source of pure iron for electric furnaces.
这全部是真实的,尤其是通过还原而处理细粉形式的废料,它总是提供具有很高硫含量的预还原铁矿。在以下的描述中,“金属细粉”应理解为各种类型的含有部分氧化金属铁的产品。金属细粉是铁矿石颗粒,各种类型的含部分氧化铁的废料颗粒,尤其是来自高炉和电炉的过滤器的细颗粒,轧制氧化铁皮碎料或颗粒(在重新加热或轧制时形成的铁氧化物),轧制或机加工尾料等。This is all true, especially when treating waste in fine powder form by reduction, which always provides pre-reduced iron ore with a very high sulfur content. In the following description, "metal fine powder" should be understood as various types of products containing partially oxidized metallic iron. Metal fines are iron ore particles, scrap particles of various types containing partial iron oxide, especially fine particles from filters of blast furnaces and electric furnaces, mill scale scrap or particles (when reheating or rolling Iron oxides formed), rolling or machining tailings, etc.
这种类型的用于生产熔炼铁的细金属颗粒的熔炼,传统是在电阻加热熔渣炉,不恰当地称作潜弧电炉(SAF)内进行。一般是借助于重力将细粉引入到这种类型的电炉冷区内。然而,这种类型的电炉具有有限的功率。事实上,潜弧电炉(SAF)的功率密度,以MW/m2表示,比自由式电弧炉减少五分之四。为了获得同等的生产水平,所使用的潜弧电炉直径要比电弧炉的直径大2倍。This type of smelting of fine metal particles for the production of smelted iron has traditionally been carried out in resistively heated slag furnaces, improperly known as submerged arc furnaces (SAF). The fine powder is generally introduced into the cold zone of this type of electric furnace by gravity. However, this type of electric stove has limited power. In fact, the power density of a submerged arc furnace (SAF), expressed in MW/ m2 , is four-fifths lower than that of a free-form electric arc furnace. In order to obtain the same production level, the diameter of the submerged arc furnace used is 2 times larger than that of the electric arc furnace.
此外,在电弧炉内,熔炼非喷射的细物料时,导致形成团块,通常粘附到炉壁上称为衬料或护道。在熔炼细磨废料,切屑、研磨屑、等时,也会出现这种情况。Additionally, in electric arc furnaces, smelting of non-sprayed fine material results in the formation of clumps, often adhered to the furnace walls called linings or berms. This also occurs when smelting finely ground scrap, swarf, grinding swarf, etc.
过度使用这些物料会阻塞转炉的部分容积,阻止碎料的正确引入,同时操作者必须通过相当大的过热炉子而有规律地进行净化熔体,这就解释了能量损失和生产率降低的原因。作为结果,通过预还原的金属细粉的重力而引入电炉内,而不采取任何专门的预防措施,必然会导致结壳和形成衬料。Excessive use of these materials blocks part of the volume of the converter, preventing the correct introduction of scrap, while the operator must regularly purge the melt through rather large overheated furnaces, which explains the energy loss and reduced productivity. As a result, introduction by gravity of the pre-reduced metal fines into the electric furnace without any special precautions necessarily leads to encrustation and lining formation.
电弧炉在通常的运行条件下,使用泡沫渣,在废铁的传统熔炼中,为了在炉渣内形成CO气,联合喷射碳和氧而获得泡沫渣。当使用富碳(>2%C)的预还原物料时,由于预还原的铁矿石同时提供了氧和碳,所以这种泡沫渣是自发的。由于其密度低和其绝热特性,泡沫渣对预还原细粉的溶解起到了阻碍作用。预还原细粉落在炉渣上,迅速结块并形成固体物质,这种固体物质很难熔融,由于它不很密实,所以导致在炉壁上形成衬料。Under normal operating conditions, electric arc furnaces use foamed slag, which is obtained by a combined injection of carbon and oxygen in the conventional smelting of scrap iron in order to form CO gas in the slag. This foaming slag is spontaneous when a carbon-rich (>2% C) pre-reduced material is used, since the pre-reduced iron ore provides both oxygen and carbon. Due to its low density and its insulating properties, the foamy slag acts as a hindrance to the dissolution of the pre-reduced fines. The pre-reduced fines fall on the slag, agglomerate rapidly and form a solid mass which is difficult to melt and, since it is not very dense, leads to the formation of a lining on the furnace walls.
为了生产熔炼铁,必须使用碳,很明显,可单独喷射碳,就经济观点,最佳的方法是制造具有过量碳的预还原铁矿。这种过量的碳以低比例与铁结合。然而,为制造熔炼铁,生产具有5-10%C的预还原细粉时,这种碳主要相当于游离碳的颗粒。然而,很难将这种游离碳引入金属中,除非将它喷射到熔体内。事实上,自由式电弧炉(不同于潜弧电炉,事实上它的功能是利用电阻加热,而不是电弧)主要是在氧化环境中运行,其中,碳迅速氧化。如果不采取专门的防护措施,非喷射的碳供料将主要以气体损失掉,因此金属将贫碳,因此也将得到钢。In order to produce smelted iron, carbon has to be used, and it is obvious that carbon can be injected alone, the best way from an economic point of view is to make pre-reduced iron ore with excess carbon. This excess carbon binds to iron in low proportions. However, when producing pre-reduced fines with 5-10% C for the manufacture of smelted iron, this carbon corresponds mainly to particles of free carbon. However, it is difficult to introduce this free carbon into the metal unless it is injected into the melt. In fact, free-form electric arc furnaces (unlike submerged arc furnaces in that they function by means of resistive heating, rather than electric arcs) operate primarily in an oxidizing environment where carbon oxidizes rapidly. If no special precautions are taken, the non-sprayed carbon feed will be lost mainly as gas, so the metal will be depleted of carbon and therefore steel.
有利的是具有一个优化方法,这个方法其能够在电弧炉内从预还原的金属细粉直接生产熔炼铁。It would be advantageous to have an optimized method that enables the direct production of molten iron in an electric arc furnace from pre-reduced metal fines.
本发明的目的是提供一种用于生产熔炼铁的优化方法。The object of the present invention is to provide an optimized method for producing molten iron.
根据本发明,通过在电弧炉生产液态熔炼铁的方法,即可达到此目的,该电弧炉含有几个电极,装有炉膛,并含有由液态非泡沫渣覆盖的熔池表面。该方法包括如下步骤:According to the invention, this object is achieved by a method for producing liquid smelting iron in an electric arc furnace comprising several electrodes, equipped with a furnace and having a bath surface covered by liquid non-foaming slag. The method comprises the steps of:
a)还原金属细粉以形成含有过量游离碳的预还原金属细粉。a) reducing metal fines to form pre-reduced metal fines containing excess free carbon.
b)在惰性气体帘中,热转移预还原的金属细粉到含于电弧炉中的熔池表面。b) In an inert gas curtain, heat transfer of pre-reduced metal fines to the surface of a molten bath contained in an electric arc furnace.
c)喷射气体搅动熔池表面的方式要防止形成结壳。c) The injection gas is to agitate the surface of the molten pool in such a way as to prevent the formation of crusts.
d)在电弧炉内熔炼预还原的金属细粉以获得液态熔炼铁。d) Melting the pre-reduced metal fines in an electric arc furnace to obtain liquid molten iron.
提供的方法是以一种非常特殊的方法使用自由式电弧炉,该方法是引入热的预还原金属细粉(优选直接在还原炉的出口处,换句话说,在大于500℃的温度下,在最佳实施方案中,为800-1100℃的温度下),并在由一层非泡沫状的液态炉渣覆盖的熔炼铁的熔池表面上工作,该熔池表面可通过经炉膛喷射中性气体(氮气、氩气)和/或通过经一个或几个喷枪喷射含氧气体,而搅动熔池表面。熔池表面通过喷射气体而强有力地搅动。The method provided is to use a free-form electric arc furnace in a very specific way by introducing hot pre-reduced metal fines (preferably directly at the outlet of the reduction furnace, in other words at a temperature greater than 500 °C, In the most preferred embodiment, at a temperature of 800-1100°C) and work on the surface of the molten iron bath covered by a layer of non-foaming liquid slag which can be neutralized by spraying through the furnace The bath surface is agitated by gas (nitrogen, argon) and/or by spraying oxygen-containing gas through one or several lances. The surface of the molten pool is vigorously agitated by jets of gas.
这种有力的搅动,能使金属+炉渣熔体的温度均匀化,并更新炉渣层的表面,以保持过热并全部液体,并能够吸收预还原的金属细粉,而不会固化和形成不可渗透的结壳。This vigorous agitation, homogenizes the temperature of the metal + slag melt and renews the surface of the slag layer to keep it superheated and liquid and able to absorb pre-reduced metal fines without solidifying and forming impermeable of crusts.
在通过经电弧炉炉膛喷射中性或惰性气体而搅动熔池表面的情况下,在所建议的方法中,惰性气体的流速优选在50~150l/min.t(在熔体中每分每吨液状金属的升数)。在本发明的最佳方案中,搅动速率为80-120l/min.t。作为熔池表面的高度和喷射点的数量和位置的函数,必须调整这些速率。高速的搅动与电弧炉中使用的正常实施无关。事实上,在电弧炉中以通常生产钢的方法,搅动速率处于1-10l/min.t的范围,只是用于均化熔体,甚至不考虑冶炼结果和温度。In the case of agitating the surface of the molten pool by injecting neutral or inert gas through the hearth of the electric arc furnace, in the proposed method, the flow rate of the inert gas is preferably between 50 and 150 l/min.t (per minute per ton in the melt liters of liquid metal). In the best version of the present invention, the stirring rate is 80-120l/min.t. These rates must be adjusted as a function of the height of the molten pool surface and the number and location of injection points. Agitation at high speeds is not relevant to normal implementations used in electric arc furnaces. In fact, in the usual way of producing steel in electric arc furnaces, the agitation rate is in the range of 1-10 l/min.t and is only used to homogenize the melt, without even considering the smelting result and the temperature.
为了确保搅动的最佳效率,金属熔池表面必须具有确定的最小高度,优选的高度至少0.3m,以确保强有力地搅动金属熔体。需要避免经炉膛喷入的搅动气体简单地穿过金属熔体的“孔穴”,而没有强有力地搅动它。很明显,作为电弧炉形状和气体喷射装置定位的函数,这种最小高度可以改变,气体喷射装置优选是多孔砖或均匀喷咀。In order to ensure optimum efficiency of the agitation, the surface of the molten metal pool must have a defined minimum height, preferably at least 0.3 m, to ensure a strong agitation of the metal melt. It needs to be avoided that agitating gases injected through the furnace simply pass through the "holes" of the metal melt without vigorously agitating it. Obviously, this minimum height can vary as a function of the shape of the electric arc furnace and the positioning of the gas injection means, which are preferably perforated bricks or uniform nozzles.
在本发明的最佳实施方案中,用于喷射搅动气体的装置位于电弧炉炉膛的外边缘附近,换句话说,与熔融物的底部横向有关,以使位于炉边缘处保持或具有结块倾向的预还原金属细粉粒子引向位于电极之间的最热中心区域。In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the means for injecting the agitating gas are located near the outer edge of the furnace chamber of the electric arc furnace, in other words transversely with respect to the bottom of the melt, so as to maintain or have a tendency to agglomerate at the edge of the furnace The pre-reduced metal fine powder particles are directed towards the hottest central region located between the electrodes.
另一种方式,或者除了通过经电弧炉炉膛喷射惰性气体搅动熔池表面外,还可以通过经一个或几个喷射器喷射含氧气体而进行搅动熔池表面。通过使用穿透喷射使含氧气体(下文称“原始氧”)喷射进熔池表面,通过与熔炼铁中的C反应,而形成气态CO鼓泡。在液状金属中这种CO的释放会形成扰动,从而确保熔池表面和炉渣强有力地搅动。Alternatively, or in addition to agitation of the bath surface by injection of inert gas through the hearth of the electric arc furnace, agitation of the bath surface can also be performed by injection of oxygen-containing gas through one or several injectors. Gaseous CO bubbles are formed by reacting with C in the molten iron by injecting an oxygen-containing gas (hereinafter referred to as "raw oxygen") into the surface of the molten pool using penetrating injection. This release of CO creates turbulence in the liquid metal, ensuring vigorous agitation of the molten pool surface and slag.
为了保护落入炉内的预还原金属细粉,可利用惰性气体帘围绕着金属细粉,优选是氮气或氩气。这种惰性气体帘,优选具有环形形状,可使其受炉诱导而横向偏移的颗粒以及预还原金属细粉在其分别到达炉渣层和熔池表面层之前再次氧化减至最小。最好使用50~200Nm3/h的氮气流以形成保护帘,从而能保护约10-60t/h的含有约50%金属化Fe的预还原金属细粉,以60-100%的量进行转移。这些值取决于许多因素,诸如炉子的几何形状,细粉滴的高度,和电弧炉中的扰动,等等,结果可被采用。To protect the pre-reduced metal fines falling into the furnace, the metal fines may be surrounded by a curtain of inert gas, preferably nitrogen or argon. This curtain of inert gas, preferably having an annular shape, minimizes re-oxidation of the furnace-induced laterally deflected particles and pre-reduced metal fines before they reach the slag layer and bath surface layer, respectively. It is best to use a nitrogen flow of 50-200Nm 3 /h to form a protective curtain, so as to protect about 10-60t/h of pre-reduced metal fine powder containing about 50% metallized Fe, and transfer it in an amount of 60-100% . These values depend on many factors, such as the geometry of the furnace, the height of the fine powder droplet, and disturbances in the electric arc furnace, among others, and the results can be adopted.
优选地,在位于电极之间电弧炉中心区,进行预还原金属细粉的转移。Preferably, the transfer of the pre-reduced metal fines takes place in the central zone of the electric arc furnace located between the electrodes.
根据本发明的优选实施方案,在将完全还原的金属细粉供入电弧炉内之前,最好与直径为2-20mm的炭进行混合。所用炭量取决于预还原金属细粉中的碳量。要求使碳过量7-15%,优选过量约10%。以这种方式,根据炭中的硫含量,可获得具有3-3.5%C,0.01-0.05%Si和0.03-0.06%S的熔炼铁。According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fully reduced metal fines are mixed with charcoal, preferably with a diameter of 2-20 mm, before being fed into the electric arc furnace. The amount of carbon used depends on the amount of carbon in the pre-reduced metal fines. A 7-15% excess of carbon is required, preferably an excess of about 10%. In this way, smelted iron can be obtained with 3-3.5% C, 0.01-0.05% Si and 0.03-0.06% S, depending on the sulfur content in the char.
根据本发明的另一个最佳实施方案,步骤a)包括如下步骤:According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, step a) comprises the following steps:
a1)将金属细粉引入到含有几个叠置炉膛的多膛炉内,并将其沉积在多膛炉的上层炉膛内,a1) introducing fine metal powder into a multi-hearth furnace comprising several superimposed hearths and depositing it in the upper hearth of the multi-hearth furnace,
a2)金属细粉逐渐转移到下层炉膛内,a2) The fine metal powder is gradually transferred to the lower furnace,
a3)向一个或几个下层炉膛上引入足以还原金属细粉的量的碳还原剂,并确保有过量的游离碳,a3) Introduce a carbon reducing agent sufficient to reduce the metal fine powder to one or several lower furnaces, and ensure that there is an excess of free carbon,
a4)加热多膛炉,当它们与碳还原剂接触时,还原金属细粉,并在适宜的温度下,由碳还原剂产生气体,a4) heating the multi-chamber furnaces, when they come into contact with the carbon reducing agent, reducing the metal fines and, at a suitable temperature, generating gas from the carbon reducing agent,
a5)在多膛炉内,由碳还原剂产生的过量气体被燃烧掉,利用产生的热量干燥或预热金属细粉。a1)将金属细粉引入含有几个叠置炉膛的多膛炉内,它们沉积在多膛炉的上层炉膛内。a5) In the multi-hearth furnace, the excess gas generated by the carbon reducing agent is burned off, and the heat generated is used to dry or preheat the fine metal powder. a1) Metal fines are introduced into a multi-hearth furnace comprising several superimposed hearths, where they are deposited in the upper chamber of the multi-hearth furnace.
根据本发明的另一优选实施方案,在a)步和/或b)步中添加造渣剂。这些造渣剂优选选自石灰、熔剂和氧化镁,以及它们的混合物。According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a slagging agent is added in step a) and/or step b). These slagging agents are preferably selected from lime, fluxes and magnesia, and mixtures thereof.
在a)步骤结束时,碳过量7-15%,优选过量约10%。At the end of step a) there is a carbon excess of 7-15%, preferably an excess of about 10%.
固体碳还原剂选自炭或液体或固体的石油产品。当碳还原剂在多膛炉内时,所含的挥发成分会除掉,而且部分硫也被排除。The solid carbon reducing agent is selected from charcoal or liquid or solid petroleum products. When the carbon reducing agent is in the multi-hearth furnace, the contained volatile components are removed, and part of the sulfur is also removed.
部分过量的碳在步骤d)中被消耗掉。Part of the excess carbon is consumed in step d).
此外,过量的游离碳可用于终止还原反应和使熔炼铁渗碳。In addition, excess free carbon can be used to terminate reduction reactions and carburize molten iron.
根据本发明的另一个方面,可提高电弧炉的生产效率,由于可获得的“埋入的”电弧长度,电弧的功率受到电弧电压的限制。According to another aspect of the invention, the production efficiency of an electric arc furnace can be increased, the power of the arc being limited by the arc voltage due to the available "submerged" arc length.
不使用自然进入电弧炉内的空气而使其“无用地燃烧”,而冒险使金属细粉固化并形成不渗透的结壳,为了增加电的电弧炉生产率,用最大的能量效率,使用来自预还原金属细粉的过量碳,也是有利的。Instead of using the air that naturally enters the EAF to "burn uselessly" and risk solidifying the metal fines and forming an impermeable crust, in order to increase the productivity of the electric arc furnace, with maximum energy efficiency, use It is also advantageous to reduce the excess carbon of the metal fines.
很明显,如果希望增加电弧炉每小时熔炼铁的生产能力,则需要增加向电弧炉内引入金属细粉的流速,这种金属细粉流速的增加,也增加了形成结壳的危险性。Obviously, if it is desired to increase the production capacity of the electric arc furnace for smelting iron per hour, it is necessary to increase the flow rate of the metal fines introduced into the electric arc furnace. This increase in the flow rate of the metal fines also increases the risk of crust formation.
通过上述用于在电弧炉的生产液态熔炼铁的方法,可达到此目的,其中,配备一个或几个后燃烧喷管-它们与一个或几个原始氧的喷射相连接-构成燃烧器,其功率可与电弧相比。这些喷射器优选向电弧之间输送后燃烧气的喷射,而在最佳实施方案中是向电极环上(“电极间距环”)输送。This object is achieved by the above-mentioned method for the production of liquid smelting iron in an electric arc furnace, wherein one or several post-combustion nozzles - which are connected to one or several primary oxygen injections - constitute the burner, which Power is comparable to an electric arc. These injectors deliver the injection of afterburning gas preferably between the arcs, and in a preferred embodiment onto the electrode ring ("electrode spacing ring").
后燃烧气体喷射的定位要使炉渣推向电极之间的电弧炉的中心部分,这是有利的。这能以适宜的方式增强炉渣的搅动,并能使其永久地在接收金属细粉的区域内,保持过热炉渣的充分搅动。在此区域内过热炉渣中的高扰动性,能使金属细粉的流速增加,而不会出现形成结壳的危险。事实上,若没有这种后燃烧气的喷射,熔渣的扰动是通过经电弧炉炉膛喷射中性气体和/或通过经一个或几个喷射器向熔池表面喷射原始氧而搅动熔池表面而间接地建立。事实上后燃烧气是直接喷射进炉渣层能使炉渣在电弧炉内的移动较好地控制和定位,以加速金属细粉的熔炼,并减少非熔融金属细粉推向和粘附在炉壁上的危险。The post combustion gas injection is advantageously positioned such that the slag is pushed towards the central portion of the arc furnace between the electrodes. This enhances the agitation of the slag in a suitable manner and makes it possible to maintain sufficient agitation of the superheated slag permanently in the area receiving the metal fines. The high turbulence in the superheated slag in this zone enables the flow rate of metal fines to be increased without risk of crust formation. Indeed, without such injection of post-combustion gas, the disturbance of the slag is achieved by agitating the surface of the molten pool by injecting neutral gas through the hearth of the electric arc furnace and/or by injecting raw oxygen onto the surface of the molten pool through one or several injectors. rather indirectly. In fact, the post-combustion gas is directly injected into the slag layer, so that the movement of slag in the electric arc furnace can be better controlled and positioned, so as to accelerate the melting of metal fine powder and reduce the push and adhesion of non-melted metal fine powder to the furnace wall. on the danger.
本发明方法的优点之一是优化两个反应器的运行,实际上,生产含有过量游离碳的预还原熔炼铁的事实增加了还原速率和增加了金属化的水平。One of the advantages of the process of the present invention is the optimization of the operation of the two reactors, in fact the fact of producing pre-reduced smelt iron with an excess of free carbon increases the rate of reduction and increases the level of metallization.
为了获得这种过量的游离碳,在还原阶段需要添加适量的碳还原剂。In order to obtain this excess of free carbon, an appropriate amount of carbon reducing agent needs to be added during the reduction stage.
在预还原铁矿石中的过量游离碳的另一个优点是基于这样一个事实,在还原反应器的还原膛内,温度非常高,结果,碳还原剂,碰巧是炭,在很大程度上进行脱挥发物和脱硫。结果是,在熔炼阶段期间,脱挥发物的炭比未脱挥发物的木炭更易于溶解在铁熔体中。此外,由于碳还原剂经受很高的温度,而且是在还原反应器内部,硫含量明显地降低。以这种方式获得的熔炼铁具有很低的硫含量。很明显,在熔炼预还原铁矿石颗粒时,可使用焦炭代替炭。以获得最好的碳溶解性。然而,使用焦炭代替炭会增加生产费用,并不能解决硫的问题。事实上,焦炭不含有挥发性物质,然而,它含有的硫量与生产它时所用炭中的硫含量大致一样。Another advantage of the excess free carbon in the pre-reduced iron ore is based on the fact that inside the reduction chamber of the reduction reactor, the temperature is very high and, as a result, the carbon reducing agent, which happens to be char, is carried out to a large extent Devolatilization and desulfurization. As a result, devolatilized charcoal dissolves more readily in the iron melt during the smelting stage than non-devolatilized charcoal. In addition, since the carbon reducing agent is subjected to very high temperatures and is inside the reduction reactor, the sulfur content is significantly reduced. Smelted iron obtained in this way has a very low sulfur content. It is obvious that coke can be used instead of char when smelting pre-reduced iron ore particles. for best carbon solubility. However, using coke instead of char increases production costs and does not solve the sulfur problem. In fact, coke contains no volatile substances, however, it contains approximately the same amount of sulfur as the charcoal used to produce it.
在熔炼炉中将过量的碳燃烧掉,因此使其在颗粒熔炼期间,能节省电能。Excess carbon is burned off in the smelting furnace, thus saving electricity during pellet smelting.
只向多膛炉的上层炉膛内添加碳还原剂的事实,能使其使用气体的余热干燥和预热颗粒或铁矿石,并完全烧掉一氧化碳,不需要单独的后燃烧步骤。而且,这些上层炉膛内的较高温度会更多地降低游离碳中的硫量。The fact that the carbon reducing agent is only added to the upper chamber of the multi-hearth furnace enables it to use the waste heat of the gas to dry and preheat the pellets or iron ore and completely burn off the carbon monoxide without the need for a separate post-combustion step. Also, the higher temperatures in these upper chambers will reduce the amount of sulfur in the free carbon even more.
因此,本发明未预料到的优点,并不在于并列的两个已知方法,而是存在于两个方法之间的相互配合。Therefore, the unexpected advantages of the present invention do not lie in the juxtaposition of the two known methods, but in the mutual cooperation between the two methods.
从以下作为实例的详细描述的优选实施方案,并参照附录中给出的草图,将会更清楚本发明的其他方面和特征。如下所示:Other aspects and characteristics of the invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment as an example, with reference to the sketches given in the appendix. As follows:

图1表示根据本发明第一实施方案,生产液态熔炼铁的电弧炉示意图。Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an electric arc furnace for producing liquid molten iron according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
它表示一个电弧炉10,含有转炉12,由14覆盖,通过该拱顶14有三个电极16穿透,这些电极16每个能产生约20cm的电弧和约4MW的功率。在这三个电极16中间放一个装置18,用于传送预还原金属细粉。该装置18包括,一方面,用于将预还原金属细粉送入炉12内的进料槽,另一方面,能够围绕落入炉内的预还原金属细粉,喷射一种氮帘20的喷咀。It shows an electric arc furnace 10, comprising a converter 12, covered by 14, through which dome 14 is penetrated three
预还原金属细粉的撞击点位于三个电极16之间,换句话说,在电弧炉12内的最热点。在撞击飘浮在液态熔体24上非泡沫渣22层上的时刻,预还原金属细粉立刻结合到其中,并迅速熔融。The point of impact of the pre-reduced metal fines is located between the three
转炉12的炉膛26装备有几块多孔砖28,通过该多孔砖喷射高速流动的搅动气体30,通过该气体30的喷射产生的扰动,经过液态熔体24,从而防止预还原金属细粉结块或形成结壳。The hearth 26 of the converter 12 is equipped with several porous bricks 28 through which a high-speed flow of agitating gas 30 is injected, and the turbulence generated by the injection of this gas 30 passes through the liquid melt 24, thereby preventing the agglomeration of the pre-reduced metal fine powder or form crusts.
图2示出了根据本发明第二实施方案,生产液态熔炼铁的电弧炉示意图。图3示出了该电弧炉平面图。Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an electric arc furnace for producing liquid molten iron according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the electric arc furnace.
在具有通过重力而中心装载的电弧炉10′内,配备三个后燃烧喷管32,与在电极环(“电极间距环”)上的电弧之间的三个原始氧喷射器32′相连,构成的燃烧器具有与电弧相比较的功率。来自喷射器32′的原始氧喷射34是穿透喷射,并位于熔池表面24中,当氧穿透进入液态金属时,氧与含于熔体中的碳反应,并释放CO气体。这种CO的释放在熔池表面内和浮渣层中形成很大的扰动。In an electric arc furnace 10' with center loading by gravity, three post-combustion nozzles 32 are provided, connected to three primary oxygen injectors 32' between the arcs on the electrode ring ("electrode spacing ring"), The formed burner has a power comparable to that of an electric arc. The original oxygen injection 34 from the injector 32' is a penetrating injection and is located in the bath surface 24. As the oxygen penetrates into the liquid metal, the oxygen reacts with the carbon contained in the melt and releases CO gas. This release of CO creates large disturbances within the bath surface and in the dross layer.
后燃烧喷管32,每个都会向炉渣层22内喷射一股后燃烧氧气流36,或二次氧的气流,这种二次氧气流36,比原始氧喷射34更弱且较少穿透,来自熔池表面24的CO随着原始氧的喷入而被燃烧掉。CO在炉渣层22的内部被烧掉。这就导致炉渣局部过热。为了增强炉渣的搅动并将炉渣推回到电弧炉的中心,后燃烧氧的喷射要这样定位以使产生的脉冲进入与那些电弧相反的炉渣。图3中箭头38表示出一方面由电弧引起的炉渣移动,另一方面喷射后燃烧氧36引起的炉渣移动。这就能够加速预还原金属细粉的熔炼,并从而能防止这些细粉结块,以及被推向和粘附在电弧炉的炉壁上。Post-combustion lances 32 each inject into slag bed 22 a post-combustion oxygen stream 36, or stream of secondary oxygen, which is weaker and less penetrating than primary oxygen injection 34 , CO from the bath surface 24 is burned off with the injection of raw oxygen. CO is burned off inside the slag layer 22 . This leads to local overheating of the slag. In order to enhance agitation of the slag and push the slag back into the center of the arc furnace, the injection of post-combustion oxygen is positioned so that the resulting pulses enter the slag opposite those of the arc.
实施例1Example 1
对于给定的电功率,例如限定到12MW,使用额外的游离碳和氧,因此能使之使用任何技术:或熔融至少双倍流速的金属细粉或(DRI),或供给较少金属化的金属细粉或(DRI)到炉内,因此增加了还原炉的生产率。For a given electrical power, limited to 12MW for example, use of additional free carbon and oxygen, thus enabling the use of any technique: either melting at least double the flow rate of metal fines or (DRI), or supplying less metallized metal Fine powder or (DRI) into the furnace, thus increasing the productivity of the reduction furnace.
在多膛炉的情况下,通过具有生产90%金属化水平的50t/h的DRI能力所需要的50%容量的炉子,就能确保生产具有60%金属化水平的54或57t/h的DRI。In the case of a multi-hearth furnace, the production of 54 or 57 t/h of DRI with a metallization level of 60% can be ensured by having a furnace with 50% of the capacity required to produce 50 t/h of DRI at a metallization level of 90% .
而且,表1中最后一栏示出了在DRI中以过量游离碳形式添加额外碳的可能性。Also, the last column in Table 1 shows the possibility of adding additional carbon in the form of excess free carbon in the DRI.
