Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing sintered ore, and in particular, to a method for manufacturing sintered ore including measuring component concentrations in the sintered ore and adjusting the pallet speed in accordance with the measured component concentrations.
  • iron-containing raw materials such as sintered ore, lump iron ore, and pellets are mainly used as iron sources for blast furnace feed materials.
  • sintered ore is a kind of agglomerated ore manufactured in such a manner that a sintering raw material, which is prepared by gathering iron ore having a particle size of 10 mm or less, miscellaneous iron sources, such as various kinds of dust generated in a steel plant, CaO-containing raw materials, such as limestone, quick lime, and steel-making slag, and bonding agents, such as coke breeze and anthracite, and by adding, as an optional blending material, MgO-containing raw materials, such as nickel refining slag, dolomite, and serpentinite, and SiO 2 -containing raw materials, such as nickel refining slag and silica stone (silica sand), is stirred, mixed and granulated in a drum mixer with adding water, and then burned.
  • MgO-containing raw materials such as nickel refining
  • the concentration of iron in iron ore contained in a sintering raw material which is a raw material for sintered ore
  • concentrations of gangue components such as SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3
  • the component concentrations in produced iron ore have become variable to such an extent that, even in the case of the same kind of iron ore, the component concentrations may vary from one shipment to another when the iron ore is imported.
  • a variation in the sintering reaction temperature causes a variation in the quality of product sintered ore (hereinafter, also referred to as "sintered ore"), which is produced by performing sintering
  • the variation in the sintering reaction temperature has a significant influence on the quality of the sintered ore.
  • the quality of sintered ore for example, due to a low-strength vitreous structure being formed in the sintered ore or due to a deterioration in reducibility as a result of an increase in the amount of magnetite structure.
  • the amount of heat is adjusted in accordance with the sintering reaction temperature which is estimated on the basis of analysis results. Specifically, the FeO concentration and the retained C concentration in sintered ore are determined.
  • thermal dissociation in which hematite in sintered ore transitions into magnetite, progresses with an increase in temperature.
  • magnetite transitions back into hematite with a decrease in temperature after the reaction
  • the magnetite which has been formed by thermal dissociation, does not always transition back into hematite
  • a large amount of magnetite is retained in sintered ore in the case where the sintering reaction temperature is high.
  • magnetite contains divalent iron
  • the FeO concentration in sintered ore provides an indication of the sintering reaction temperature. Since C retained in sintered ore indicates that such C has not been used as a heat resource for a sintering reaction, it is supposed that there is an insufficient amount of heat at the time of the sintering reaction in the case where the C concentration retained in sintered ore is high.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique in which the FeO concentration in sintered ore is determined and in which the amounts of a bonding agent and granulation water and an air-discharging rate of the sintering raw material are adjusted in accordance with the FeO concentration of the sintered ore.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a technique in which the FeO concentration in sintered ore is determined and in which the amount of city gas blown into a sintering machine is adjusted in accordance with the FeO concentration of the sintered ore.
  • Patent Literature 3 discloses a technique in which the component concentrations in sintered ore are estimated on the basis of the component concentrations in a surface layer of the burden layer of a sintering raw material, which has been charged onto a pallet, the component concentrations in the surface layer being determined by using a laser-type component measuring device disposed above a sintering machine, and in which the composition of a sintering raw material is adjusted in accordance with the estimation results.

  • the sintering raw material is transported to a drum mixer 36 via the transporting conveyer 30.
  • a SiO 2 -containing raw material may be blended in the sintering raw material.

  • the sintering raw material which has been transported to the drum mixer 36, is charged into the drum mixer 36 with an appropriate amount of water 34 being added and granulated to form quasiparticles having an average particle diameter of, for example, 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm.
  • the granulated sintering raw material is transported to a sintering raw material charging device 42 of a sintering machine 40 via a transporting conveyer 38. Since the drum mixer 36 is an example of a granulating apparatus which is used to granulate the sintering raw material, plural drum mixers 36 may be used, and a pelletizer may be used as a granulating apparatus instead of the drum mixer 36.
  • Both the drum mixer 36 and the pelletizer may be used, and a high-speed stirring apparatus may be placed upstream of the drum mixer 36 to stir the sintering raw material before the sintering raw material is charged into the drum mixer 36.
  • the term "average particle diameter” denotes an arithmetic average particle diameter defined by the formula ⁇ (Vi ⁇ di), where Vi denotes the abundance ratio of particles having a particle diameter within the i-th range defined in terms of particle diameter and di denotes the representative particle diameter of the i-th range.
  • the sintering raw material which has been granulated in the drum mixer 36, is sintered.
  • the sintering machine 40 is, for example, a downward suction-type Dwight-Lloyd sintering machine.
  • the sintering machine 40 has the sintering raw material charging device 42, an endless mobile pallet 44 that circulates and moves, an ignition furnace 46, and wind boxes 48.
  • the sintering raw material which has been granulated, is charged into the pallet 44 through the sintering raw material charging device 42 to form a burden layer of the sintering raw material.
  • the burden layer is ignited by using the ignition furnace 46, and air in the burden layer is suctioned downward through the wind boxes 48 so that a combustion-melting zone in the burden layer moves toward the lower portion of the burden layer.

  • a measuring process is performed.
  • the component concentration of at least one or more of FeO and C in the product sintered ore 72 is continuously measured by using the infrared analyzer 80.
  • the infrared analyzer 80 radiates infrared light having a wavelength of 0.5 ⁇ m to 50.0 ⁇ m and receives reflected light from the product sintered ore 72. Since the molecular vibration of FeO contained in the product sintered ore 72 absorbs specific-wavelength components of the radiated infrared light, FeO imparts specific-wavelength components to the reflected infrared light. Also, the crystal structure of a single-atom molecule, such as C, starts vibrating at the time of radiating the infrared light and thereby imparts the specific-wavelength components to the reflected infrared light. Therefore, it is possible to determine the component concentrations of FeO and C in the product sintered ore 72 by analyzing the radiated infrared light and the reflected infrared light.
  • the infrared analyzer 80 radiates infrared light having 20 or more wavelengths and receives reflected light reflected from the product sintered ore 72 at a frequency of, for example, 128 times per minute. Since it is possible to radiate and receive infrared light in such a short time by using the infrared analyzer 80, it is possible to continuously measure the component concentrations in the product sintered ore 72, which is transported on the transporting conveyer 76, online by using the infrared analyzer 80.
  • the infrared analyzer 80 is an example of an analyzing device which is used to measure the component concentrations in the sintering raw material, a laser analyzer which radiates laser beams onto an object to be measured, a neutron analyzer which radiates neutrons onto an object to be measured, or a microwave analyzer which radiates microwaves onto an object to be measured may be used instead of the infrared analyzer 80.
  • the product sintered ore 72 having a particle diameter of more than 5 mm is transported to the blast furnace 82 via the transporting conveyer 76 and charged into a blast furnace as a blast furnace feed material.
  • the return fine 74 having a particle diameter of 5 mm or less is transported to the blending bin 28 in the raw material feeding section 20 via a transporting conveyer 78.
  • the infrared analyzer 80 may be installed between the cooler 60 and the sieving apparatus 70 or on the transporting conveyer 78. In the case where the infrared analyzer 80 is installed between the cooler 60 and the sieving apparatus 70, the component concentrations in the sintered ore, which has been cooled, are measured in the measuring process. In the case where the infrared analyzer 80 is installed in the transporting conveyer 78, the component concentrations in the return fine 74 are measured in the measuring process.
  • the term "particle diameter of the product sintered ore 72 or the return fine 74" denotes a particle diameter determined by performing screening utilizing a sieve, and, for example, the expression “a particle diameter of more than 5 mm” denotes the particle diameter of particles which remain on a sieve having a sieve mesh of 5 mm, and the expression “a particle diameter of 5 mm or less” denotes the particle diameter of particles which pass through a sieve having a sieve mesh of 5 mm.
  • the value expressing the particle diameter of the product sintered ore 72 or the return fine 74 is definitely used as an example, and the particle diameter of the product sintered ore 72 or the return fine 74 is not limited to this example.
  • the method for manufacturing sintered ore according to the present embodiment includes a pallet speed-adjusting process of adjusting the pallet speed.
  • the pallet speed is adjusted in accordance with, for example, the FeO concentration in the product sintered ore 72 which is measured in the measuring process.
  • the control value of the FeO concentration which indicates that the sintered ore temperature at the discharge part of the cooler 60 exceeds the upper-temperature limit at the discharge part of the cooler 60, is determined in advance.
  • the pallet speed-adjusting process in the case where the FeO concentration in the product sintered ore 72 is higher than the control value, that is, in the case where it is predicted that the sintered ore temperature at the discharge part of the cooler 60, which is calculated by using the relationship described above, will exceed the upper-temperature limit, the pallet speed is adjusted lower.
  • the FeO concentration in the product sintered ore 72 is continuously measured in the measuring process, and the pallet speed is adjusted in the case where the FeO concentration in the product sintered ore 72 is higher than the control value, that is, in the case where it is predicted that the sintered ore temperature at the discharge part of the cooler 60, which is calculated by using the relationship described above, will exceed the upper-temperature limit.
  • the C concentration in the product sintered ore 72 may be measured instead of the FeO concentration.
  • the control value of the C concentration with which the sintered ore temperature at the discharge part of the cooler 60 exceeds the upper-temperature limit at the discharge part of the cooler 60 is determined in advance. Then, in the case where the C concentration is higher than the control value, the pallet speed is adjusted lower. In this case, an increase in C concentration indicates that there is an increase in C concentration due to C remaining uncombusted because of inhomogeneous temperature distribution in the width direction of the sintering machine, that is, unburned sintered ore is discharged.
  • the method for manufacturing sintered ore according to the present embodiment may further include a blending amount-adjusting process of adjusting the amount of the bonding agent, of the sintering raw material, in accordance with the component concentration of at least one or more of FeO and C in the product sintered ore 72 that is measured in the measuring process. For example, even in the case where the FeO concentration in the product sintered ore 72 is higher than the control value, that is, even in the case where it is predicted that the sintering reaction temperature will be high, by decreasing the amount of the bonding agent in the blending amount-adjusting process, it is possible to decrease the sintering reaction temperature.
  • the method for manufacturing sintered ore according to the present embodiment may further include a blowing amount-adjusting process of adjusting the amount of at least one of a gas fuel and oxygen blown in accordance with the concentration of at least one or more of FeO and C in the sintered ore that is measured in the measuring process. For example, even in the case where the FeO concentration in the sintered ore is higher than the control value, that is, even in the case where it is predicted that the sintering reaction temperature will be high, by decreasing the amount of at least one of the gas fuel and the oxygen blown in the blowing amount-adjusting process, it is possible to decrease the time for which the sintering reaction temperature is held at a higher level.

  • sintered ore was manufactured by using the sintered ore manufacturing equipment 10 illustrated in Fig. 1 .
  • the sintered ore was manufactured for 5 hours while the FeO concentration, as the component concentration in the sintered ore, was continuously measured at a frequency of 18 times per hour by using the infrared analyzer 80 installed in the transporting conveyer 76, and the blending ratio of the coke breeze, that is a bonding agent, was adjusted in accordance with the measured FeO concentrations so that the FeO concentration in the sintered ore was equal to the FeO control value.
  • the raw material pile was changed to one containing dust having a high C concentration.
  • the example of the present invention was an example including the pallet speed-adjusting process of adjusting the pallet speed in the sintering machine, and the comparative example was an example not including the pallet speed-adjusting process. Therefore, when there was an increase in the FeO concentration in the sintered ore, while the pallet speed was decreased and the blending ratio of coke breeze was adjusted in the example of the present invention, the blending ratio of coke breeze was adjusted without adjusting the pallet speed in the comparative example.

  • the measuring process of continuously measuring the FeO concentration in the sintered ore by using the infrared analyzer 80 was included, it was possible to promptly detect that the FeO concentration in the sintered ore was higher than the FeO control value after the raw material pile had been changed. Since it was possible to detect, on the basis of an increase in the FeO concentration, that the temperature of the sintered ore at the discharge part of the cooler would exceed the upper-temperature limit due to an increase in the sintering reaction temperature, the pallet speed in the sintering machine was decreased in the pallet speed-adjusting process and the blending ratio of coke breeze was adjusted in the example of the present invention.
  • the FeO concentration in the sintered ore is continuously measured, and the pallet speed in the sintering machine is adjusted when an increase in the FeO concentration in the sintered ore is detected.
  • the blending ratio of coke breeze was adjusted. However, it was only after an elapsed time of about 30 minutes, which was the period of time from when the blending ratio of coke breeze was adjusted until the raw material already charged in the sintering machine was replaced by the adjusted raw material, that there was a decrease in sintered ore temperature at the discharge part of the cooler.
  • the measurement utilizing the infrared analyzer 80 installed in the transporting conveyer 76 was performed at a measuring frequency of 18 times per hour in this example of the present invention, it is possible to realize the effects of the present invention caused by adjusting the pallet speed with a measuring frequency lower than this. It is sufficient that the measurement be performed once or more in a period of about 30 minutes, which is the time taken to replace the raw material already charged in the sintering machine.
  • an increase in the sintering reaction temperature is promptly detected by continuously measuring the FeO concentration in the sintered ore in the measuring process, and the pallet speed is decreased in the pallet speed-adjusting process. It is clarified that, with this, for example, even in the case where there is an increase in the sintering reaction temperature due to the raw material pile being changed to one containing dust having a high C concentration, since it is possible to inhibit an increase in the sintered ore temperature at the discharge part of the cooler, it is possible to inhibit equipment problems such as abnormal stoppage of the cooler and the equipment breakdown of the sintering machine.
