Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) Low production efficiency and unstable quality
In the canning process, the reducing agent and the iron concentrate are packed in different containers, and the primary reduction is mainly realized by indirect reduction. relatively poor stability
Moreover, the primary reduction process is generally completed in a tunnel kiln, and the kiln car needs to be pushed into or pulled out of the tunnel kiln by external force, so the kiln car cannot be made too large, and the capacity of the tunnel kiln is limited
[0005] (2) Low utilization rate of heat energy
The temperature of the high-temperature section of the tunnel kiln for the production of sponge iron is generally above 1150°C, and the waste heat generated by the entire furnace system is very large. Except for a small part used for heating in the factory area, the rest of the heat is discharged outside, resulting in a great waste of heat energy
Moreover, the hot air flow outside contains a lot of fine particles, which will pollute the air and deteriorate the working environment.
[0006] (3) Poor working environment
The particle size of the raw materials used in the production of sponge iron is very small. In the process of manual loading and unloading, the dust phenomenon is relatively serious, and the working environment is very poor, which is not conducive to human health.
[0007] (4) High labor intensity
At present, the method of manual filling and unloading of tanks is generally adopted. A tank filled with materials weighs tens of kilograms, resulting in relatively high labor intensity for workers.

Embodiment 1

[0033] High-purity iron fine powder with a TFe content of 73.2%, coke powder, and organic binder are used for mixing according to the mass ratio of 80.9:16.3:2.8. The water content of the mixture is controlled at about 9%. The disc pelletizer is used to produce Φ20mm-Φ30mm raw materials. Balls; raw balls are dried with hot air at 300°C in a chain grate dryer for 15 minutes to remove moisture to less than 3%; then put into a rotary hearth furnace for reduction, and undergo five-stage reduction (maximum reduction temperature 1250°C) for 30 minutes to obtain Sponge iron with a TFe content of more than 95%; the sponge iron is crushed, magnetically separated, and sieved, and the -200um primary powder is fed into a steel belt reduction furnace, and reduced at 920°C for 40-60min in an ammonia decomposition atmosphere to obtain a powder cake; The powder cake is crushed, screened, and batched together to produce high-quality reduced iron powder with a particle size of -150um ≥ 95, TFe ≥...

Abstract

An efficiency energy-saving process for producing reduced iron powder is implemented through the technical scheme as follows: firstly, the process comprises the following steps of: 1) dosing high-purity iron concentrate fines / mill scales, a reducing agent and an adhesive according to certain proportions, mixing all the materials together and subjecting the mixture to wet grinding treatment, and forming the ground mixture into green balls through pelletizing / pressing into ball; 2) after the green balls are screened and dried, putting the green balls in a rotary hearth furnace for primary reduction, thereby obtaining sponge iron, wherein as the iron core powder is in direct contact with the reducing agent, the reducing speed is high, the time consumed is short and the production efficiency is high; and the high temperature smoke at 1000-1100 DEG C of the rotary hearth furnace enters a smoke waste heat recovery system, thereby realizing efficiency utilization of heat energy; and 3) after performing crashing, magnetic selection and screening on the sponge iron, performing secondary reduction in a steel strip type reducing furnace, and performing crashing, screening and blending on the obtained powder cake, thereby obtaining the reduced iron powder; and 4) the process for producing the reduced iron powder effectively solves the problems of low reduced iron powder productivity, poor quality stability, low heat utilization ratio, high working intensity, bad working environment and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-efficiency and energy-saving production process of reduced iron powder, which belongs to the technical field of powder metallurgy production. Background technique [0002] The production process of reduced iron powder in the powder metallurgy industry is generally: (iron concentrate, rolled steel scale, etc.) → drying → magnetic separation → crushing → screening → canning → primary reduction → sponge iron → cleaning → crushing → magnetic separation →Secondary reduction→powder block→decompression→magnetic separation→sieving→grading→mixing→packaging→finished product. [0003] There are the following drawbacks to this commonly used process: [0004] (1) Low production efficiency and unstable quality. In the canning process, the reducing agent and the iron concentrate are packed in different containers, and the primary reduction is mainly realized by indirect reduction. The stability is relatively poor. Moreover, the pri...
