Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steel production, and in particular relates to a device for reducing the water content and powder content of lump ore. Background Art

[0002] In the blast furnace ironmaking process, lump ore is an indispensable main raw material. Unlike sintered ore and pelletized ore, lump ore, as raw material, comes directly from mining and is supplied to the blast furnace after simple crushing and screening. However, lump ore often contains a high moisture content, and a part of powder is easily adhered to its surface. When these lump ores with high moisture and powder content enter the blast furnace, the air permeability inside the blast furnace will be significantly reduced, resulting in an increase in pressure difference, which in turn affects the smooth operation of the blast furnace and the output of molten iron. This is a technical problem that has long plagued the ironmaking industry.

[0003] On the other hand, in the production process of sintered ore, the sintering ring cooler (generally 5 cooling fans) is the key cooling equipment. The temperature of the flue gas after cooling is usually between 100 and 500°C. At present, the high-temperature hot air at the front end of the sintering ring cooler (generally the flue gas generated by the first two cooling fans) is mainly used for power generation, and this part of the energy has been effectively utilized. However, the utilization rate of low-temperature hot air (the flue gas generated by the last three cooling fans) is relatively low, and its utilization effect is not ideal, which not only wastes precious thermal energy resources, but also is not conducive to reducing production costs and recovering waste heat.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively utilize the low-temperature flue gas generated by the sintering ring cooler and solve the problem of high moisture and powder content in blast furnace lump ore has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the current ironmaking industry. The present invention comes into being under such a technical background, aiming to provide a new device and method that can reduce the moisture and powder content of lump ore and effectively utilize the low-temperature flue gas of the sintering ring cooler.
