The invention discloses a method for controlling the
reduction rate of
iron ore in a converter, and belongs to the technical field of
ferrous metallurgy. In the method, according to the different
molten pool temperatures during the converter
smelting period, the
reduction rate of the
iron ore during complete melting can be effectively controlled by controlling the adding quantity of the added ironore and the particle size of the
iron ore. The method specifically comprises the steps that in the converter
smelting initial period, the
molten pool temperature ranges from 1,300 DEG C to 1,450 DEGC, and the practical size equivalent
diameter of the added iron ore ranges from 5.0 mm to 20.0 mm; and in the converter
smelting middle and later periods, the
molten pool temperature ranges from 1,450DEG C to 1,600 DEG C, and the practical size equivalent
diameter of the added iron ore ranges from 20.0 mm to 50.0 mm. According to the method, on one hand, in the converter smelting initial period,the quantity of (FeO) in
slag can be fast increased in the iron ore melting process, and fast
slag forming of
lime in the earlier period can be ensured; and on the other hand, in the converter smelting middle and later periods, the
cooling effect of a small quantity of iron ore is not remarkable in the melting process, the situation that a large amount of (FeO) in the
slag is instantly accumulatedcannot be prone to happening, and splashing is avoided.
