Description
Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Bodenspülsystems eines BOF-Konverters Method for operating a floor flushing system of a BOF converter
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines in verteilter Anordnung mehrere aus einem Zentralrohr und einem Außenrohr bestehende Ringspaltdüsen aufweisenden Bodenspülsystems eines BOF-Konverters mit Inertgas- Einblasung zur Entkohlung der Schmelze im Konverter.The invention relates to a method for operating in a distributed arrangement of a plurality of central tube and an outer tube existing annular gap nozzles having soil flushing system of a BOF converter with inert gas blowing for decarburization of the melt in the converter.
Das Spülen einer Schmelze, insbesondere einer Stahl- bzw. Metallschmelze, in einem BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace)-Konverter mit Hilfe von Inertgas und am Konverterboden angeordneten, unterschiedlichsten Spülsteintypen bzw. Spülblöcken, ist ein im Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekanntes Verfahren.Flushing a melt, in particular a steel or molten metal, in a BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) converter with the aid of inert gas and arranged on the converter base, different types of sinks or Spülblöcken, is well-known in the art method.
Durch die EP 1 641 946 B1 ist im Zusammenhang mit Aufblasverfahren bei der Herstellung von legierten Metallschmelzen bzw. beim Frischen von Roheisen in einem Konverter zur unterstützenden Bodeneinblasung verschiedenster Energieträger, Legierungsmittel, Auf- und Entkohlungsmittel oder dergleichen aus einem Zentralrohr und mindestens einem konzentrischen Ringkanal bestehende Ringspaltdüsen bekanntgeworden. Bei diesem mehrstufigen Verfahren wird in allen Verfahrensschritten über den Ringspalt Kohlenwasserstoff eingeblasen. Die Blasrate liegt bei 0,25 bis 3,5 Nm3/t x Min. und erfordert große Gasmengen.By EP 1 641 946 B1 is in connection with Aufblasverfahren in the production of alloyed metal melts or when refining pig iron in a converter for supporting soil injection of various energy sources, alloying agents, charring and decarburizing or the like from a central tube and at least one concentric annular channel existing Annular gap nozzles have become known. In this multi-stage process, hydrocarbon is blown through the annular gap in all process steps. The blowing rate is 0.25 to 3.5 Nm 3 / tx min. And requires large amounts of gas.
Bei den gattungsgemäßen Konverter-Spülsystemen bestehen die Spülsteine bzw. -blocke aus einem feuerfesten, beispielsweise keramischen Material. Die Spülsteine bzw. -blocke sind ihrerseits mit Düsen durchsetzt, um das Inertgas in die im Konverter befindliche Metallschmelze einzubringen.In the generic converter flushing systems, the flushing blocks or blocks consist of a refractory, such as ceramic material. The purging blocks or blocks are in turn interspersed with nozzles to introduce the inert gas in the metal melt in the converter.
Dazu strömt das Gas unter hohem Druck und mit großer Geschwindigkeit durch die Konverter-Düsen und tritt im Bereich des Konverterbodens von unten her in die Metallschmelze ein. Dadurch wird in der Schmelze eine Rührwirkung bzw.For this purpose, the gas flows through the converter nozzles under high pressure and at high speed and enters the molten metal from below in the area of the converter base. As a result, in the melt a stirring effect or
BESTÄTIGUNGSKOPIE Badbewegung erreicht, die unter anderem auch Temperaturunterschiede im Schmelzbad ausgleicht.CONFIRMATION COPY Badbewegung achieved, which compensates, among other things, temperature differences in the molten bath.
Die Düsen arbeiten somit unter rauen Bedingungen, insbesondere an ihrem Einleitungsende, welches permanent in Kontakt mit dem geschmolzenen Metall steht. Dementsprechend unterliegt die Düse einem hohen Verschleiß.The nozzles thus operate under harsh conditions, especially at their discharge end, which is permanently in contact with the molten metal. Accordingly, the nozzle is subject to high wear.
Der Abbrand bzw. der voreilende Verschleiß der Düsen an ihrem Einspeisung- sende beträgt dabei erfahrungsgemäß ungefähr 0,25 mm pro Konverter- Charge.The burn-up or premature wear of the nozzles at their feed end is, according to experience, approximately 0.25 mm per converter charge.
Hinzu kommt, dass das feuerfeste Material des Spülsteins bzw. Spülblockes in unmittelbarer Umgebung der Düse durch den hohen Druck und die große Geschwindigkeit des eingeblasenen Gases ebenfalls stark verschleißt und dabei konkav ausgewaschen wird.In addition, the refractory material of the purging plug or Spülblockes in the immediate vicinity of the nozzle by the high pressure and the high velocity of the injected gas also wears heavily and thereby washed out concave.
Die Haltbarkeit des Bodens mit den Spülsteinen bzw. -blocken und den Düsen liegt am Beispiel eines 330t BOF-Konvertes im Bereich von ca. 4000 Schmelzen, wohingegen die Haltbarkeit der ebenfalls mit einem feuerfesten Material ausgekleideten Seitenwände des Konverters etwa 7000 Schmelzen beträgt.The durability of the bottom with the purging blocks or blocks and the nozzles is based on the example of a 330t BOF converter in the range of about 4000 melts, whereas the durability of the likewise lined with a refractory material side walls of the converter is about 7000 melts.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die vorstehend beschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Verfahren zu schaffen, mit dem die Haltbarkeit der Düsen und des Spülsteins bzw. -blocks erheblich verbessert und somit die Anzahl der Schmelzzyklen im Konverter gesteigert wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a method by which the durability of the nozzles and the purging plug or block significantly improved and thus the number of melting cycles in the converter is increased.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass über das Zentralrohr das Inertgas zumindest zeitweise zusammen mit Kohlenwasserstoff und gemeinsam mit einem durch den Ringspalt zwischen dem Zentralrohr und dem Außenrohr zugeführten, mit dem Inertgas bzw. Gasgemisch des Zentralrohres reagierenden Mantelgas, vorzugsweise Kohlenwasserstoff, eingeblasen wird, wobei das Mantelgas beim Zusammentreffen mit dem flüssigen Stahl gespalten wird und ein die Ringspaltdüsen kreisförmig umschließender, pilzförmiger, poröser Stahlmantel ausgebildet wird.This object is achieved in that the inert gas is at least temporarily injected together with hydrocarbon and together with a through the annular gap between the central tube and the outer tube, reacted with the inert gas or gas mixture of the central tube shell gas, preferably hydrocarbon, wherein the cladding gas cleaved upon contact with the liquid steel is formed and a circular gap surrounding the annular gap, mushroom-shaped, porous steel shell.
Das Inertgas, vorzugsweise Argon oder Stickstoff, und auch der Kohlenwasserstoff wird zur metallurgischen Behandlung der Metallschmelze als Kernstrahl erfindungsgemäß über das Zentralrohr bzw. die -düse in die Stahlschmelze eingeblasen, während das Mantelgas, neben Kohlenwasserstoff optional auch Wasserdampf oder CO2, als äußerer Ringstrahl eingeblasen wird. Die beim Zusammentreffen des Inertgases mit dem flüssigen Stahl dann einerseits hervorgerufene Badbewegung und andererseits bewirkte Spaltung des Mantelgases führt zu einer sehr viel Energie benötigenden Reaktion mit Erstarrung des flüssigen Stahls im Düsenbereich. In Abhängigkeit von der eingeblasenen Mantelgasmenge lassen sich der Durchmesser, z.B. bis 15 cm, und die Höhe, z.B. bis 4 cm, des pilzförmigen, porösen und die Düsen kreisförmig umschließenden Stahlmantels variieren. Der poröse Eisenpilz deckt somit zum einen den Spül- stein bzw. -block im Umgebungsbereich der Düsen ab, wodurch ein Verschleiß in Form von Auswaschungen des feuerfesten Materials verhindert wird. Zum anderen werden die Düsen durch die einhausende Abschottung vor Abbrand geschützt. Die nur zur Badbewegung dienende Düsenanordnung benötigt nur kleine Gasmengen, wobei sich eine Blasrate erreichen lässt, die etwa bei < 0,045 Nm3/t x Min. liegt.The inert gas, preferably argon or nitrogen, and also the hydrocarbon is injected for metallurgical treatment of the molten metal as a core jet according to the invention via the central tube or die in the molten steel, while the shell gas, in addition to hydrocarbon optionally also steam or CO 2 , as an outer ring beam blown. The on the one hand caused when the inert gas with the liquid steel then bath movement and on the other hand caused cleavage of the cladding gas leads to a very energy-consuming reaction with solidification of the liquid steel in the nozzle area. Depending on the injected jacket gas quantity, the diameter, for example up to 15 cm, and the height, for example up to 4 cm, of the mushroom-shaped, porous and circularly surrounding the nozzle steel shell can be varied. The porous iron fungus thus covers, on the one hand, the flushing stone or block in the surrounding area of the nozzles, which prevents wear in the form of leaching of the refractory material. On the other hand, the nozzles are protected by the einhausende foreclosure from burning. The only used for bath movement nozzle assembly requires only small amounts of gas, which can achieve a blow rate, which is about <0.045 Nm 3 / tx min.
Wenn sich der poröse Eisenpilz bzw. Stahlmantel bei der Verfestigung der Metallschmelze als Ansatz über der Spitze der zentralen Inertgas-Düse ausbilden und diese somit zusetzen sollte, kann vorteilhaft dem Inertgas temporär eine geringe Menge Sauerstoff zugemischt und dadurch die Inertgas-Düse bzw. das Zentralrohr freigebrannt werden.If the porous iron fungus or steel jacket forms as a batch over the top of the central inert gas nozzle during the solidification of the molten metal and thus should enforce it, advantageously a small amount of oxygen can be temporarily added to the inert gas and thereby the inert gas nozzle or the central tube be burned.
Gleiches gilt bei einem sich abzeichnenden Zusetzen des Ringspaltes für die das Mantelgas einblasende Düse, über den bzw. die dann kurzzeitig ebenfalls eine Inertgas-Sauerstoffmischung gefahren werden kann. Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass jede Ringspaltdüse individuell geregelt und ein konstanter Druck aufrecht erhalten wird. Sollte es dabei trotz der vorher im Regelsystem festgelegten Druckparameter zu einer Druckerhöhung kommen, wobei sich sowohl das Zentralrohr als auch der Ringspalt zusetzen würden, erfolgt im Regelsystem so lange eine Umschaltung auf eine Sauerstoff- bzw. Inertgas-Beimischung, bis der vorher eingestellte, konstante Zieldruck wieder erreicht ist.The same applies to a looming clogging of the annular gap for the nozzle blowing the shell gas, over which or then briefly an inert gas-oxygen mixture can be driven. A further embodiment of the invention provides that each annular gap nozzle is controlled individually and a constant pressure is maintained. Should there be an increase in pressure in spite of the pressure parameters previously set in the control system, whereby both the central tube and the annular gap would become clogged, a changeover to an oxygen or inert gas admixture takes place in the control system until the previously set, constant Target pressure is reached again.
Ein weiterer Vorteil des Verfahrens ergibt sich, wenn der Konverter mit dem sogenannten „Slag Splashing" gefahren wird. Dabei handelt es sich um ein bekanntes Verfahren, bei dem man nach dem Konverterabstich die Restschlacke im Konverter behält. Auf diese Restschlacke werden dann mit Hilfe einer Toplanze große Mengen Stickstoff mit hohem Druck und hoher Geschwindigkeit in den Konverter geblasen. Die Restschlacke wird hierbei an die Seitenwände und an den Boden des Konvertergefäßes gespritzt.A further advantage of the method results when the converter is operated with the so-called "slag splashing." This is a known method in which the residual slag is retained in the converter after the converter has been cut off Top lance Large quantities of nitrogen are blown into the converter at high pressure and high speed, where the residual slag is sprayed to the side walls and to the bottom of the converter vessel.
Nach dem Einblasen lässt man die aufgespritzte Schlacke erstarren, so dass sich eine Schutzschicht für das feuerfeste Material im Boden und an den Seitenwänden bildet. Der erfindungsgemäß kreisförmig um die Ringspaltdüse ausgebildete, poröse, zudem sehr raue Eisenpilz vergrößert in diesem Bereich die Oberfläche. Da außerdem seine Oberfläche, relativ kalt ist, lässt sich auf diese Weise erreichen, dass ein Anbacken der verspritzten Schlacke auf dem Eisenpilz beschleunigt und die Haftung nach dem Erkalten verbessert wird.After injection, the sprayed slag is allowed to solidify, forming a protective layer for the refractory material in the bottom and sidewalls. The inventively designed in a circular manner around the annular gap, porous, also very rough iron fungus increases in this area the surface. In addition, since its surface is relatively cold, it is possible in this way to accelerate the caking of the sprayed slag on the iron fungus and to improve the adhesion after cooling.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den An- Sprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in den Zeichnungen anhand eines Bodenspülsteins schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung. Es zeigen:Further details and features of the invention will become apparent from the claims and the following description of an embodiment of the invention schematically illustrated in the drawings with reference to a floor sink. Show it:

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen im Stand der Technik bekannten Bodenspülstein 1 eines hier nicht dargestellten BOF-Konverter zum Raffinieren, Mischen und/oder Spülen einer Stahlschmelze. Dazu weist der Bodenspülstein 1 ein Rohr 2 als Düse auf, über die ein Inertgas 3, beispielsweise Stickstoff, zur Badbewegung eingeblasen wird. Die Düse/das Rohr 2 ist in einem Monoblock 4 eingebettet, der aus einem feuerfesten Material, beispielsweise Keramik, besteht, der seinerseits von dem feuerfesten Material 5 der Auskleidung des Konverters umschlossen wird.Fig. 1 shows a known in the art soil rinse stone 1 of a BOF converter, not shown here for refining, mixing and / or rinsing a molten steel. For this purpose, the floor scavenger 1 a pipe 2 as a nozzle, via which an inert gas 3, for example nitrogen, is blown for bath movement. The nozzle / tube 2 is embedded in a monoblock 4, which consists of a refractory material, for example ceramic, which in turn is enclosed by the refractory material 5 of the lining of the converter.
Das Problem bei dieser Verfahrensweise ist, dass durch den hohen Druck und die große Geschwindigkeit des eingeblasenen Inertgases 3 das feuerfeste Material des Monoblocks 4 in der unmittelbaren Umgebung 6 der Düse 2 sowie auch diese selbst voreilend verschleißt .The problem with this procedure is that due to the high pressure and the high velocity of the injected inert gas 3, the refractory material of the monoblock 4 in the immediate vicinity 6 of the nozzle 2, as well as itself, wears prematurely.
Bei dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Bodenspülstein 100 ist eine Düsenanordnung vorgesehen, die als Ringspaltdüse 11 aus dem Zentralrohr 2 und einem dieses konzentrisch mit einem Ringspalt 8 umschließenden Außenrohr 7 besteht. Der Düsendurchmesser des Zentralrohres 2 braucht nicht mehr als 5 mm und der der Ringspaltdüse 11 nicht mehr als 1 mm zu betragen.2, a nozzle arrangement is provided which consists of an annular pipe nozzle 11 made of the central pipe 2 and an outer pipe 7 enclosing this concentrically with an annular gap 8. The nozzle diameter of the central tube 2 does not need to be more than 5 mm and that of the annular gap nozzle 11 not more than 1 mm.
Über das Zentralrohr 2 wird Inertgas 3 und zeitweise Kohlenwasserstoff eingeblasen, während über den Ringspalt 8 der Ringspaltdüse 11 Kohlenwasserstoff und/oder Sauerstoff in einem Gemisch mit Inertgas als Mantelgas 9 geblasen wird. Beim Zusammentreffen des Mantelgases 9 mit der Stahlschmelze wird der Kohlenwasserstoff gespalten. Da diese Reaktion sehr viel Energie benötigt, wird ein Erstarren von Stahl in der unmittelbaren Umgebung 6 der Ringspaltdüse 11 erreicht. In Abhängigkeit von der eingeblasenen Menge des Mantelgases 9 bildet sich ein pilzförmiger, poröser Stahlmantel 10 kreisförmig um die Ringspaltdüsen 11.Inert gas 3 and intermittently hydrocarbon are injected via the central tube 2, while hydrocarbon and / or oxygen are blown through the annular gap 8 of the annular die 11 in a mixture with inert gas as the jacket gas 9. When the jacket gas 9 meets with the molten steel, the hydrocarbon is split. Since this reaction requires a lot of energy, a solidification of steel in the immediate vicinity 6 of the annular gap nozzle 11 is achieved. Depending on the injected quantity of the jacket gas 9, a mushroom-shaped, porous steel jacket 10 forms in a circle around the annular gap nozzles 11.
Der poröse Eisenpilz bzw. Stahlmantel 10 verhindert zum einen den voreilen- den Verschleiß des feuerfesten Materials des Monoblocks 4, da er schützend darüber liegt, und zum anderen einen Abbrand der Rohre 2, 7 der Ringspaltdüse 11 , da er diese konzentrisch umschließt und somit nach außen hin abschottet.The porous iron fungus or steel jacket 10 prevents, on the one hand, the premature wear of the refractory material of the monobloc 4, since it lies protectively over it, and, on the other hand, a burning of the tubes 2, 7 of the annular gap nozzle 11, since it surrounds them concentrically and thus after foreclosed on the outside.
Sollte der poröse Eisenpilz 10 das Zentralrohr 2 der Ringspaltdüse 11 zusetzen, kann dem Inertgas 3 eine geringe Menge Sauerstoff beigemischt werden. Durch die beigefügte Menge Sauerstoff und der damit einhergehenden Reaktion brennt das Zentralrohr 2 frei. Für den Ringspalt 8 kann ebenfalls eine Inertgas-Sauerstoffmischung gefahren werden, wenn sich ein Zusetzen abzeichnet. Der Sauerstoff dient somit nur zur Kontrolle bzw. Ausbildung der Grosse des Eisenpilzes 10.If the porous iron fungus 10 enforces the central tube 2 of the annular gap nozzle 11, a small amount of oxygen can be added to the inert gas 3. Due to the added amount of oxygen and the associated reaction, the central tube 2 burns freely. For the annular gap 8 can also be driven an inert gas-oxygen mixture, if clogging appears. The oxygen thus serves only to control or form the size of the iron fungus 10.
Somit ist vorgesehen, dass bei der Düsenanordnung über den Ringspalt 8 als Mantelgas 9 Cn Hx bzw. Ar oder N2 und (Ar + O2) + (N2 + O2) und über das Zentralrohr 2 ein Inertgas 3, z.B. Ar oder N2, und (Ar + O2) + (N2 + O2) gefahren werden kann.Thus, it is provided that in the nozzle assembly via the annular gap 8 as jacket gas 9 C n H x or Ar or N 2 and (Ar + O 2 ) + (N 2 + O 2 ) and the central tube 2, an inert gas 3, eg Ar or N 2 , and (Ar + O 2 ) + (N 2 + O 2 ) can be driven.
Die Ringspaltdüsen 11 des Konverters sind in einen Regelkreis eingebunden, der einerseits jedes Zentralrohr 2 und den Ringspalt 8 individuell ansteuert so- wie regelt und andererseits den Druck, mit dem die Düsen beaufschlagt werden, konstant hält. Sollte es dennoch zu einer über einem oberen Grenzwert liegenden Druckerhöhung kommen, wobei sich der Ringspalt 7 und/oder das Zentralrohr 2 zusetzt, wird über den Regelkreis das System so lange im Modus „Sauerstoff/Inertgas" gefahren, bis der Solldruck wieder erreicht ist. Bezugszeichenliste:The annular gap nozzles 11 of the converter are integrated into a control loop which on the one hand individually controls and regulates each central tube 2 and the annular gap 8 and on the other hand keeps constant the pressure with which the nozzles are acted upon. Should there nevertheless be an increase in pressure above an upper limit, the annular gap 7 and / or the central tube 2 becoming clogged, then the system is driven in the mode "oxygen / inert gas" via the control loop until the desired pressure is reached again.
