This invention belongs to the field of iron and steel
metallurgy and comprehensive energy utilization technology, specifically disclosing a method and
system for upgrading low-carbon
coal gas in integrated iron and steel production based on
carbon dioxide recycling. This invention captures and purifies high-purity CO2 from
blast furnace gas, completely replacing
nitrogen used for converter
slag splashing and bottom blowing. It utilizes the
sensible heat of the high-temperature
flue gas in the converter to drive a reduction reaction between pulverized
coal and CO2, generating high-concentration CO, thus upgrading and improving the efficiency of converter gas. The upgraded gas is then recovered for power generation,
industrial furnace fuel, or chemical raw materials. The CO2 produced during
combustion is captured and recycled again, forming a closed-loop
carbon cycle within the
plant: capture-conversion-utilization-recapture. This invention can increase the CO
volume fraction of converter gas to over 85%, increase the calorific value by 20%–50%, and reduce carbon
emission intensity per
ton of steel by 8%–10%, achieving carbon emission reduction, energy saving and cost reduction, and energy value-added effects. The process is compact, adaptable to existing production lines, and has strong industrial feasibility.
