Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of iron and steel metallurgy, and in particular to a system and method for steelmaking using a gasification unit, a gas-based vertical shaft furnace, and an electric furnace coupled together. Background Technology
[0002] Sponge iron is an excellent iron source and an indispensable impurity diluent for electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, used to produce pure and high-quality steel. It is also the best coolant for converter steelmaking. Global production of sponge iron and hot-pressed sponge iron briquettes has reached nearly 60 million tons per year. Most of the world's sponge iron is produced in gas-based vertical shaft furnaces, with a small amount produced directly in coal-fired rotary kilns. The mainstream technology for global sponge iron production is vertical shaft furnace gas-based reduction, using natural gas as fuel. Coal gasification technology is the process of thermochemically converting coal into syngas, primarily composed of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), and is one of the core technologies for the clean and efficient utilization of coal. Syngas can be used as a reducing gas for reducing iron ore.
[0003] In existing technologies, such as patent application CN107299175A, which relates to a system and method for coupling fluidized bed gasification, gas-based reduction, and electric arc furnace steelmaking, the fluidized bed gasification technology operates at a pressure of 0.25–0.8 MPa and a bed temperature of 750–900 °C. Limited by the relatively low pressure, the gasification reaction efficiency and the raw material processing capacity of a single fluidized bed are limited, failing to meet the large-scale demand for reducing gas in steel production. Furthermore, constructing multiple fluidized beds would result in high investment costs. Additionally, the relatively low bed temperature of the fluidized bed cannot meet the reducing gas temperature requirements of a gas-based vertical shaft furnace (generally requiring >1000 °C). Therefore, the aforementioned patent application adds a heating furnace to its process flow to heat the syngas generated by the fluidized bed to meet the reducing gas temperature requirements, further increasing energy loss and production costs in the heating process.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new technical solution to address the problems of mismatch between syngas and reduced iron production capacity and complex and high-energy-consumption systems in existing technologies, so as to achieve cleaner and more efficient sponge iron production.

[0058] Example 1
[0059] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a system for coupled steelmaking of a gasification unit, a gas-based vertical shaft furnace and an electric furnace. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system structure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the system comprises: pretreatment device 1, conveying device 2, gasification device 3, heat exchange device 4, gas-based vertical shaft furnace device 5, electric furnace device 6, and decarburization device 7. Among them:
[0060] Pretreatment device 1 pretreatments the received carbon-containing raw materials. Coal powder is obtained by grinding and drying the raw coal, wherein the particle size of the coal powder is 60 μm and the moisture content of the coal powder is 2% wt.
[0061] The conveying device 2 transports the pulverized coal obtained from the coal pretreatment device 1 to the gasification device 3. The conveying device 2 is a pneumatic conveying system that uses CO2 obtained from the decarbonization device 7 to transport the pulverized coal. Initially, the conveying device 2 needs to provide CO2 gas for transporting the pulverized coal. After normal operation, it only needs to use the CO2 provided by the decarbonization device 7 to perform the transport, and no additional gas is required to transport the raw material.
[0062] The gasification unit 3 is connected to the conveying device 2 and the heat exchanger 4. The conveying device 2 receives pulverized coal produced by the coal pretreatment device 1, reacts it to produce syngas, and outputs the syngas to the heat exchanger. The syngas contains hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The operating pressure for syngas production in the gasification unit 3 is 2.0 MPa, and the reaction temperature is 1650°C. The temperature of the syngas is 1450°C. The slag from the reaction in the gasification unit 3 is discharged through a valve at the bottom of the gasification unit.
[0063] The heat exchanger 4 is also connected to the decarbonization device 7. The decarbonization device 7 receives the furnace top circulating gas generated by the gas-based vertical furnace 5, uses Li4SiO4-based adsorbent particles as the decarbonizing agent to reduce the CO2 content, and obtains decarbonized circulating gas. The heat exchanger 4 mixes the decarbonized circulating gas with the synthesis gas generated by the gasification device 3 to obtain a mixed gas (the initial temperature of the mixed gas before heat exchange is 1200℃). The mixed gas is cooled by exchanging heat with the low-temperature medium in the heat exchanger 4, and the mixed gas at 1080℃ is output to the gas-based vertical furnace 5. The low-temperature medium absorbs heat to generate a high-temperature medium, which can be used to heat other areas or devices. The low-temperature medium is water, which becomes higher-temperature water vapor after absorbing heat.
[0064] The gas-based vertical shaft furnace 5 contains oxidized pellets and receives the cooled mixed gas input from the heat exchange device 4, reacting to produce sponge iron and the furnace top circulating gas. The operating pressure inside the gas-based vertical shaft furnace 5 is 1.7 MPa.
[0065] The gas-based vertical shaft furnace 5 is connected to the electric furnace device 6. The generated sponge iron is transported into the electric furnace device 6, and a desulfurizing agent is added to the electric furnace device 6. The desulfurizing agent is a composite desulfurizing agent of "silicon-calcium + magnesium". Reduction smelting is carried out in the electric furnace device to obtain finished steel and slag. The slag basicity R in the electric furnace device is 2.5, the FeO content is 0.8%, and the temperature is 1650℃.
[0066] By employing the system provided in this invention, the syngas (mainly CO and H2) generated by the coal gasification unit can be directly supplied to the vertical shaft furnace without the need for additional heating equipment. This optimizes the process flow, reduces energy loss during intermediate transmission, and enables heat recovery and utilization through a heat exchange device. This reduces costs, improves efficiency and energy utilization, and achieves cleaner and more efficient sponge iron production. Adding a desulfurizing agent to the electric furnace ensures desulfurization is completed before producing finished steel, avoiding insufficient desulfurization in the reducing gas stage, which could affect the quality of the final finished steel.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a system for coupled steelmaking of a gasification unit, a gas-based vertical shaft furnace and an electric furnace. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system structure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the system comprises: pretreatment device 1, conveying device 2, gasification device 3, heat exchange device 4, gas-based vertical shaft furnace device 5, electric furnace device 6, and decarburization device 7. Among them:
[0069] Pretreatment device 1 pretreatments the received carbonaceous raw materials. Coal powder is obtained by grinding and drying the raw coal. The coal powder has a particle size of 60 μm and a moisture content of 2% wt. The coal powder and water are then mixed to form a coal slurry. The coal slurry has a particle size of 400 μm and a moisture content of 60%.
[0070] The conveying device 2 transports the coal slurry obtained after processing by the coal pretreatment device 1 to the gasification device 3. The conveying device 2 is a pneumatic conveying system that uses CO2 obtained from the decarbonization device 7 to transport the coal slurry. At this time, the conveying device 2 needs to provide CO2 gas for transporting the coal slurry at the initial moment. After normal operation, it only needs to use the CO2 provided by the decarbonization device 7 to perform the transport, and no additional gas is required to transport the raw material.
[0071] The gasification unit 3 is connected to the conveying device 2 and the heat exchanger 4. The conveying device 2 receives pulverized coal produced by the coal pretreatment device 1, reacts it to produce syngas, and outputs the syngas to the heat exchanger. The syngas contains hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The operating pressure for syngas production in the gasification unit 3 is 8.0 MPa, and the reaction temperature is 1400℃. The temperature of the syngas is 1250℃. The slag from the reaction in the gasification unit 3 is discharged through a valve at the bottom of the gasification unit.
[0072] The heat exchanger 4 is also connected to the decarbonization device 7. The decarbonization device 7 receives the furnace top circulating gas generated by the gas-based vertical furnace 5, uses N-methyldiethanolamine as a decarbonizing agent to reduce the CO2 content, and obtains decarbonized circulating gas. The heat exchanger 4 mixes the decarbonized circulating gas with the synthesis gas generated by the gasification device 3 to obtain a mixed gas (the initial temperature of the mixed gas before heat exchange is 850°C). The mixed gas is heated by exchanging heat with the high-temperature medium in the heat exchanger 4, and the mixed gas at 920°C is output to the gas-based vertical furnace 5. The high-temperature medium comes from electric heating.
[0073] The gas-based vertical shaft furnace 5 contains iron ore and receives the cooled mixed gas input from the heat exchange device 4, reacting to produce sponge iron and the furnace top circulating gas. The operating pressure inside the gas-based vertical shaft furnace 5 is 7.7 MPa.
[0074] The gas-based vertical shaft furnace 5 is connected to the electric furnace device 6. The sponge iron produced is transported into the electric furnace device 6, and a desulfurizing agent is added to the electric furnace device 6. The desulfurizing agent is a composite desulfurizing agent of "lime + magnesium". Reduction smelting is carried out in the electric furnace device to obtain finished steel and slag. The slag basicity R in the electric furnace device is 3.0, the FeO content is 0.05%, and the temperature is 1700℃.
[0075] By employing the system provided in this invention, a fluidized bed gasification unit with higher operating pressure and greater processing capacity is used to achieve a better match between the reducing gas production of the gasification unit and the demand of the gas-based vertical shaft furnace. This ensures that the syngas (mainly CO and H2) generated by the coal gasification unit is directly supplied to the vertical shaft furnace, and by optimizing the process flow, energy losses during intermediate transmission are reduced. A desulfurizing agent is added to the electric furnace unit to complete desulfurization before producing finished steel, avoiding insufficient desulfurization in the reducing gas stage, which could affect the quality of the final finished steel.
[0076] Test case
[0077] A comparison of the gasification device, gas-based vertical shaft furnace, and electric furnace coupled steelmaking system in this invention with the equipment in patent application CN120272663A yields the following results:
[0078] (1) Advantages of the heat exchange device of the present invention compared with the three devices in CN 120272663 A:
[0079] The heat exchange device in this invention can control the temperature of the mixed gas through heat exchange. The gas enters the vertical shaft furnace at a suitable temperature range, which helps the reduction of iron pellets (after the mixed gas enters the gas-based vertical shaft furnace, it reacts with the room-temperature iron pellets that also enter the gas-based vertical shaft furnace. Due to the limitation of reduction efficiency, some of the mixed gas does not react with the iron pellets, but its temperature decreases after heat exchange with the iron pellets. It carries the CO2, water vapor, and ash of the iron pellets after the reaction and is discharged from the top of the vertical shaft furnace. This part of the gas mixes with the high-temperature syngas generated by the gasification device. Depending on the ratio of the two gas volumes, the temperature may be less than 920°C, in the range of 920-1080°C, or greater than 1080°C. The heat exchange device can heat or cool this gas to achieve the effect of controlling the gas temperature).
[0080] Compared with the three devices in CN 120272663 A, it can reduce the overall system investment cost by 14%, reduce energy consumption by 23%, increase productivity by more than 12%, and significantly reduce investment and production costs.
[0081] (2) The advantages of placing the desulfurized material in an electric furnace after desulfurization in this invention compared to desulfurization in CN 120272663 A:
[0082] This invention eliminates the need for a pre-installed desulfurization device, reducing investment costs by 8%, simplifying the process flow, and improving operational stability.
[0083] This invention performs desulfurization during the steelmaking stage, avoiding the incomplete desulfurization of reducing gas by pre-desulfurization, which does not completely desulfurize iron pellets, and also avoids secondary pollution from desulfurization byproducts.
[0084] (3) The advantages of the decarbonization device of the present invention in the treatment of circulating gas compared with the decarbonization in CN 120272663 A:
[0085] The amount of circulating gas is less than the amount of mixed gas. The decarbonization device is placed in the process of circulating gas treatment, which reduces the amount of gas passing through the decarbonization device and can reduce the energy loss of the decarbonization process.
[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
