This invention discloses an ironmaking method using a high proportion of small-particle-size sinter, belonging to the field of
blast furnace ironmaking technology. Addressing the problem of resource waste and increased costs caused by traditional processes using <5mm sinter as return ore, the method adjusts the sinter screening specifications to 7mm at the top and 5mm at the bottom, transforming 5-7mm particle-size sinter from return ore into furnace feed. Simultaneously, a center-addition
coke feeding mode is adopted, with 5-7mm sinter distributed as small-particle sinter in the central ring area of the furnace
throat. Combined with optimized return ore screening, controlled furnace top pressure, optimized
coke structure and particle size, adjusted blast
system, controlled blast temperature and
coal ratio, and controlled molten iron temperature, a high proportion of small-particle-size sinter can be applied, reducing the return ore rate by approximately 2%, increasing gas utilization by approximately 2%, reducing the fuel ratio by approximately 2.5 kg / t iron, and reducing the
coal ratio by approximately 5 kg / t iron. This results in annual savings of several million yuan in return ore
processing costs and significantly improves furnace stability, making it suitable for
smelting ordinary ores and
vanadium-
titanium ores.
