This invention relates to a method for calculating the dust removal
airflow at the
tail of a
sintering machine, including obtaining the total amount of
coke powder, the total amount of feed material, the cumulative total ash amount, the average carbon content of
tail ash, and the average carbon content of
coke powder; calculating the coefficient for converting feed material into dust; determining the
influence coefficient of material conversion into dust; calculating the real-time
tail ash generation; calculating the
dust collector efficiency; and calculating the particulate matter emission and the required dust removal
airflow. The dust removal
airflow calculation method for the tail of a
sintering machine designed using this invention can solve the problems in existing production processes where airflow setting relies on experience, has insufficient adaptability to operating conditions, and lacks high accuracy in
energy consumption control. Specifically, the dust removal
system is controlled only based on the amount of material or a fixed airflow, making it difficult to reflect the
impact of changes in
sintering conditions on the amount of tail ash generation. Furthermore, if adjustment relies solely on emission concentration feedback, there is usually a
lag in adjustment, and corrections may only be made after abnormal emissions occur.
