Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of sintering pellets in the metallurgical industry, and in particular relates to a method for realizing ultra-high material layer sintering. Background Art

[0002] The charge structure of blast furnace ironmaking in my country is mainly sintered ore, and the average proportion of sintered ore entering the furnace is more than 70%. However, the sintering process generally has problems such as high process energy consumption, large emissions of flue gas and pollutants. In view of this, the State Environmental Protection Administration clearly pointed out in the environmental impact assessment requirements for the steel development plan that "the sintering process reduces energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Under the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the production capacity under the normal sintering material layer is indeed difficult to meet the blast furnace's demand for sintered ore quality. This challenge mainly stems from the impact of the improvement of environmental protection requirements on the sintering production process, and the high standards of blast furnaces for the quality of sintered ore. In order to meet this challenge, a series of measures need to be taken to optimize the production process to ensure the quality of sintered ore while meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0003] First, through technological innovation and process improvement, such as the application of high wind temperature technology, the thermal efficiency of the sintering process can be improved, thereby improving production efficiency while ensuring quality. In addition, optimizing ore blending and adjusting sintering process parameters are also key measures to improve the quality of sintered ore. For example, by adjusting the use of sintering flux, the metallurgical properties of sintered ore can be improved, its strength and reducibility can be improved, and the needs of blast furnace smelting can be met. Thick layer sintering increases the thickness of the sintering layer and utilizes the automatic heat storage capacity of the layer to improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce sintering solid fuel consumption. At the same time, the heat storage capacity of the sintering process is improved, the quality of sintered ore is improved, the yield rate is increased, the process energy consumption is reduced, and the emission of environmental pollutants is reduced, realizing an efficient and low-consumption production method.

[0004] Thick layer sintering technology is an advanced sintering technology, which is based on calcium ferrite consolidation theory and automatic heat storage. At present, sintering machines are actively promoting thick layer sintering. Through renovation and overhaul, the baffle of the sintering machine trolley is raised, the material height is self-measured by radar, and the material distribution equipment is changed to eleven rollers, in which each roller is set at a different speed to promote segregation material distribution. The sintering machines all use hot air sintering, and a powerful mixer is added to the mixing system, and three mixing and strengthening granulation. Although a series of measures have been taken, as the material layer increases, the negative pressure of the sintering main pipe increases, and the over-wet zone thickens significantly. The main reason is that the particle size of the mixture has not reached the best, the sintering machine speed is fast, and the air permeability of the material layer is still poor. For old sintering machines, air leakage also limits the improvement of the sintering material layer. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings in the prior art: the thickness of the sintering machine cloth increases, the air permeability of the material layer deteriorates, the over-wet zone becomes wider, the quality of the sintered ore decreases, etc., the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method that can improve the granulation effect of the mixed material, increase the air permeability of the material layer, and achieve ultra-high material layer sintering of more than 950mm.
