Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of detection, and particularly relates to a method for improving detection accuracy of average particle size of metallurgical coke. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metallurgical coke is the most basic, most important and largest consumption of blast furnace production basic material, and its quality is the key to improving the utilization coefficient of blast furnace. The steel industry implements the direction of energy-saving, green and efficient development, continuously reduces the fuel ratio, improves the utilization coefficient of blast furnace, and the average particle size of coke is one of the most intuitive and basic quality control indexes. The average particle size of coke is a physical property representing the particle size distribution of coke, which is an index for evaluating the size and uniformity of coke. The calculation method of the average particle size of coke is to multiply the percentage of each particle size by the corresponding median value of each particle size, and the weighted result is the average particle size of coke. Good average particle size performance of metallurgical coke is the basis of the blast furnace permeability index, and the permeability of the blast furnace column directly affects the smooth running of the blast furnace, the distribution of blast furnace gas flow and the utilization rate of blast furnace gas. If the particle size of coke is too large, the larger pores and cracks in the coke are easy to produce coke in the process of transportation, loading and other processes; if the particle size of coke is too small, the blast furnace permeability, liquid permeability and other properties are affected in the ironmaking process, which has an adverse effect on the smooth running and long life of the blast furnace. In order to ensure the stable running of the blast furnace smelting process and obtain good production index, it is necessary to ensure the average particle size of coke to improve the permeability of the blast furnace column. With the increasing large-scale of blast furnace, the average particle size of metallurgical coke has attracted more and more attention of blast furnace workers and coking workers.

[0003] The detection method of the average particle size of metallurgical coke is to screen a certain weight of metallurgical coke sample by using a prescribed test sieve, calculate the percentage of the mass of each particle size in the total mass of the sample, and then multiply the average diameter of each adjacent two standard test sieves to obtain the average particle size of metallurgical coke. The accuracy of the detection data of the average particle size of coke is affected by many factors, and the difference of the detection data is increased. How to improve the detection accuracy of the average particle size of metallurgical coke and provide more real and more guiding data for coking production and blast furnace smelting. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for improving the detection accuracy of the average particle size of metallurgical coke.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] The present application is a method for improving the detection accuracy of the average particle size of metallurgical coke, and the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0007] Step 1, determine the influence of coke moisture

[0008] The total moisture of the sample should be controlled within ≤2.5%, and when the moisture of the sample to be tested is greater than 2.5%, it should be properly treated before detection;

[0009] Further, when the coke is dry quenched coke, the moisture is less than 0.35%, and the step-by-step moisture determination can not be done.

[0010] The calculation formula is moisture treatment, which requires step-by-step moisture determination to be brought into the calculation formula, which is characterized by

[0011]

[0012] ds = ∑S i d i (2)

[0013] In the formula:

[0014] m i ---The mass of each particle size, in kilograms kg;

[0015] m---The mass of the sample, in kilograms kg;

[0016] M ti ---The total moisture of each particle size, in mass percentage%;

[0018] ds---The average particle size of metallurgical coke, in millimeters mm;

[0019] S i ---The mass percentage of each particle size of coke%;

[0020] d i ---The average particle size of each particle size, in millimeters mm, calculated from the average diameter of the upper limit and lower limit of the standard test sieve, greater than 80mm is calculated as 90mm, and less than 25mm is calculated as 12.5mm;

[0021] Step 2, strictly regulate the test tool test sieve

[0022] The test sieve is a square hole sieve piece;

[0023] Step 3, ensure the test sieve calibration and verification system and rules

[0024] According to the frequency of use of the test sieve, determine the reasonable verification or calibration period, method and parameters;

[0025] The sieve piece should complete the metrological verification or calibration within the specified period;

[0027] According to the national technical standard specification sampling method;

[0028] Consider the accuracy and practicality of the test data, and make detailed provisions for the quality of the test experiment;

[0029] Step 5, specification sample screening process

[0030] The sample screening is poured into the test screen in batches, and the manual screening is carried out, and the size greater than 25mm must be manually perforated;

[0031] When the sieve is manually perforated, as long as it is free to pass through the sieve hole in any direction, it is counted as the undersize;

[0032] When screening, the amount of each sieve is not more than 25kg to prevent the coke from being broken by impact;

[0033] Step 6, specify the loss amount of detection

[0034] The difference between the total mass of each particle size of coke detection screening and the total mass of sampling is called the loss amount;

[0035] Step 7, specify the mechanical screening requirements and dispute processing method

[0036] Mechanical sieve or rolling sieve is allowed to be used, but comparison test with hand sieve must be carried out, and when there is no significant difference, the hand sieve is used; When there is a dispute, the hand sieve is used, and the moisture content is measured step by step.

[0037] Further, in step 2, the screen sheet is a punched screen with a size of 1000mm*700mm.

[0038] Further, in step 2, the screen sheet is punched by a punch press, and the edge of the punched screen sheet is not allowed to be flattened by a hammer.

[0039] Further, in step 2, when the screen sheet is installed, the punching burr is downward, and the burr is flattened by a sand wheel.

[0040] Further, in step 2, all the punched holes must be completely included in the effective area.

[0041] Further, in step 2, if the length of the screen hole of each screen sheet exceeds 2% of the nominal value, it is a waste hole, and when the number of holes exceeds 10% of the total number of screen holes, the screen sheet needs to be replaced.

[0042] Further, in step 6, when the loss amount is greater than or equal to 0.5kg, the test is invalid, and when it is less than 0.5kg, it is counted in the size less than 25mm.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present application are:
