Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for ventilating a hydrogen-enriched and carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace during a long period of ventilating shutdown. Before ventilating shutdown, the ventilating mode is switched from a mixed gas ventilating mode of hot coal gas, cold oxygen gas, and high-stability nitrogen gas to a mixed gas ventilating mode of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas. In the mixed gas ventilating mode of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas, after at least one smelting cycle has been operated, ventilating is stopped. At the beginning of re-ventilation, half of the tuyeres are opened and the other half are closed. During the re-ventilation process, the mixed gas ventilating mode of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas is used as the ventilating mode. When the tapping rate and stock line operation are normal and the number of open tuyeres accounts for 80% or more of the total number of tuyeres, the ventilating mode is switched from a mixed gas ventilating mode of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas to a mixed gas ventilating mode of hot coal gas, cold oxygen gas, and high-stability nitrogen gas. This method solves the problems that after a long period of cessation of blowing in a hydrogen-enriched and carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace, the dead area at the tuyere is difficult to restore, the restoration speed is slow, the restoration process is likely to be repeated, and the blower at the tuyere is likely to be burned out, which makes it easy for furnace cooling accidents to occur.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blast furnace steelmaking, and more particularly to a method of blowing air during long-term blast shutdown in a hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace. [Background technology]

[0002] In the case of a hydrogen-enriched, carbon-recycled oxygen blast furnace, when the furnace is shut down for a long time and then re-blows, or when abnormal conditions such as the furnace body freezing or a furnace cooling accident occur, the general operation method for re-blow or to deal with abnormal conditions is to blow in highly stable nitrogen gas, then blow in cold oxygen gas and ignite it, then pass the mixed injection coal gas, increase the injection rate of the mixed injection coal gas, and decrease the amount of nitrogen gas. However, in this process, the oxygen content in the injection rate is too high, making the furnace body inert, the swirl area at the tuyere is short, the metallization rate is high when coal gas is injected with all oxygen, and the tuyere blower is easily burned and damaged. Therefore, when the furnace condition is restored with this method, the furnace condition is likely to deteriorate further, and even during the process of furnace condition restoration, repeated shutdown and blast are likely to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for ventilating a hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace after a long period of ventilating shutdown. This method can effectively solve the problem that when a general ventilating method is used to restore the furnace condition of a hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace, the furnace condition tends to deteriorate and repeated ventilating shutdowns and ventilating are likely to occur even during the process of restoring the furnace condition.

[0004] A method for blowing air during a long-term shutdown in a hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace, comprising: When switching the blast mode before a long-term blast stop or when the furnace is in an abnormal state in a hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace, The normal operation state of the hydrogen-enriched carbon-circulation oxygen blast furnace is in a mode of blowing a mixture of hot coal gas, cold oxygen gas, and high-stability nitrogen gas. At least one smelting cycle before the smelting stop, the blowing of hot coal gas and cold oxygen gas is stopped. Before the blowing of hot coal gas is stopped, the theoretical combustion temperature is controlled to be in the range of 1900-2400°C, and a pressure reduction operation is performed by reducing the blowing amount of coal gas and the blowing amount of oxygen gas. After the blowing of hot coal gas is stopped, the oxygen gas content in the overall blowing amount is controlled to be 25% or less until the blowing of oxygen gas is stopped. In step S1, specifically, high-stability nitrogen gas is passed through, and the high-stability nitrogen gas line control valve 44 is opened, and the high-stability nitrogen gas cutoff valves 22 and 23 are opened to control the flow rate of high-stability nitrogen gas to 5000m3 / h. Stop the injection of hot coal gas by adjusting the mixed coal gas pipeline control valve 43, reducing the amount of mixed coal gas injected until the opening of the control valve becomes 0, closing the mixed coal gas pipeline cutoff valve 27, opening the mixed coal gas pipeline nitrogen gas blow-off valve 30, blowing for 1 minute, then closing the mixed coal gas pipeline cutoff valve 28, opening the mixed coal gas pipeline release valve 32 and the mixed coal gas pipeline release valve 33, closing the mixed coal gas pipeline nitrogen gas blow-off valve 30, and closing the mixed coal gas pipeline blind valve 31; Stopping the injection of cold oxygen gas 39; Injecting hot compressed air, confirming that the compressed air line cutoff valve 2 and the compressed air line cutoff valve 3 are closed, opening the compressed air line blind valve 4, closing the compressed air line release valve 5 and the compressed air line release valve 6, opening the compressed air line cutoff valve 2 and the compressed air line cutoff valve 3, and adjusting and controlling the flow rate of the compressed air by the compressed air line adjustment valve 41; Injecting hot oxygen gas, confirming that the hot oxygen gas pipeline cutoff valve 12 and the hot oxygen gas pipeline cutoff valve 13 are closed, opening the hot oxygen gas pipeline blind valve 14, closing the hot oxygen gas pipeline release valve 15 and the hot oxygen gas pipeline release valve 16, opening the hot oxygen gas pipeline cutoff valve 12 and the hot oxygen gas pipeline cutoff valve 13, and adjusting and controlling the flow rate of the hot oxygen gas by the hot oxygen gas pipeline control valve 42; Step S1: adjusting blast parameters, including adjusting the flow rates of compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and nitrogen gas to desired values, and controlling the oxygen gas content in the overall blast volume of the mixed gas to be within the range of 21-25% during this period; in this blast mode, after at least one smelting cycle has elapsed, the blast furnace is in a blast stop state; A step S2 of re-blowing, When re-ventilating after a long period of shutdown or shutdown due to abnormal furnace conditions, before re-ventilating, ensure that half of the tuyere near the pig-hole is open and the other half away from the pig-hole is closed, and then re-ventilate half of the tuyere. During the re-ventilation process, the ventilating mode of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas mixture is still selected, that is, high-stability nitrogen gas is blown and the system is blown for 1 minute. In accordance with the procedure of blowing hot compressed air and blowing hot oxygen gas in step S1, the operation is performed by adjusting the ventilating parameters, and the oxygen gas content in the overall ventilating volume during the re-ventilation process is controlled to be within the range of 21-25%. After re-ventilation, the furnace conditions are restored using this ventilating method in step S2. When switching the ventilation mode after the furnace condition is restored, When the furnace conditions are gradually restored, the furnace temperature is normal, the iron tapping at the furnace front is normal, the charge charging is normal, and the number of open tuyeres accounts for 80% or more of the total number of tuyeres, the operation is switched from the mixed gas blowing mode of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas to the mixed gas blowing mode of hot coal gas, hot oxygen gas, and highly stable nitrogen gas (S3), specifically, the blowing of hot oxygen gas is stopped by opening the hot oxygen gas line nitrogen gas blowing valve 18 and adjusting the hot oxygen gas line control valve 42 to reduce the blowing amount of hot oxygen gas until the flow rate of hot oxygen gas becomes 0, closing the hot oxygen gas line cutoff valve 12 and the hot oxygen gas line cutoff valve 13, opening the hot oxygen gas line release valve 15 and the hot oxygen gas line release valve 16, closing the hot oxygen gas line nitrogen gas blowing valve 18, and closing the hot oxygen gas line blind valve 14; Stopping the blowing of hot compressed air, after stopping the blowing of hot oxygen gas, opening the compressed air line nitrogen gas blowing valve 8, adjusting the compressed air line control valve 41 to reduce the blowing amount of compressed air until the flow rate of compressed air becomes 0, closing the compressed air line cutoff valve 2 and the compressed air line cutoff valve 3, opening the compressed air line release valve 5 and the compressed air line release valve 6, closing the compressed air line nitrogen gas blowing valve 8, and closing the compressed air line blind valve 4; Injecting cold oxygen gas, sending cold oxygen gas 39 through the tuyere of the blast furnace, adjusting the injection amount of cold oxygen gas, controlling the oxygen gas content in the overall blast volume of the mixed gas to be within the range of 21-25% during that period, and confirming that the blast furnace is operating normally when the injection amount of cold oxygen gas reaches its maximum under the condition that the oxygen gas content in the overall blast volume is controlled to be within the range of 21-25%; and a step S3 of injecting hot coal gas, the step including confirming that the mixed coal gas pipeline cutoff valves 27 and 28 are closed, opening the mixed coal gas pipeline blind valve 31, opening the mixed coal gas pipeline nitrogen gas blow-off valve 30, closing the mixed coal gas pipeline vent valves 32 and 33, opening the mixed coal gas pipeline cutoff valves 27 and 28, and adjusting the mixed coal gas pipeline control valve 43 to gradually increase the mixed coal gas injection rate until the operation and production requirements are met, and closing the mixed coal gas pipeline nitrogen gas blow-off valve 30 after the mixed coal gas injection rate exceeds 5000 m3 / h. Because the hydrogen-enriched, carbon-recycled oxygen blast furnace has a much weaker heat storage capacity than a conventional blast furnace, this invention switches to a blast mode using a mixture of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas from the cycle immediately preceding the blast shutdown to deal with abnormal furnace conditions such as long-term shutdown, freezing of the furnace can, or furnace cooling accidents. This mode is similar to the blast mode used in conventional blast furnace smelting, significantly reducing indirect reduction reactions in the furnace and lowering the charge metallization rate. Furthermore, by supplementing coke instead of coal gas injection, the coke bed area in the can can be expanded, improving the permeability of the blast furnace. Furthermore, after re-blasting, the blast furnace can easily achieve good permeability, thereby increasing the activity of the can. During re-blasting, the tuyere is half open and half blocked, reducing the inertness of the can, thereby reducing the risk of tuyere blower burnout and water leakage. Furthermore, a blast mode using a mixture of hot compressed air, hot oxygen gas, and hot nitrogen gas can be selected as the blast mode during re-blow to better control the oxygen content and smelting intensity in the total amount of local blowing in the furnace can. As the activity of the furnace can and the permeability of the hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace gradually improve, the blocked tuyeres are gradually opened. When the number of open tuyeres reaches 80% or more, the blast furnace is deemed to have met the requirements for switching to the general smelting mode of the hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace, and in this case, the blast mode can be switched again. Compared with the general blast mode of the conventional hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace, the method of the present invention is superior in terms of restoring furnace conditions in the hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace.

At least one smelting cycle before the smelting stop, the blowing of hot coal gas and cold oxygen gas is stopped. Before the blowing of hot coal gas is stopped, the theoretical combustion temperature is controlled to be in the range of 1900-2400°C, and a pressure reduction operation is performed by reducing the blowing amount of coal gas and the blowing amount of oxygen gas. After the blowing of hot coal gas is stopped, the blowing amount of oxygen gas is reduced until the blowing of oxygen gas is stopped, so that the content of oxygen gas in the overall blowing amount is controlled to be 25% or less.

[Example]

[0014] The following describes an example of restoring furnace conditions according to the above method, taking the HY blast furnace of the Xinjiang Baguang low-carbon test platform as the implementation object.

[0015] At 11:15 on May 25, 2023, scheduled maintenance work was completed in the blast furnace work area of ​​the hydrogen-enriched, carbon-circulating oxygen blast furnace process HY. This scheduled maintenance work mainly included the local replacement of the blower in the tuyere, the remanufacturing of the main groove, the complete replacement of the mud gun, and the replacement of the duckbill for slag cleaning. The total duration of the maintenance work, from the start of the shutdown at 9:00 on May 24 to the start of the shutdown at 11:15 on May 25, was 1,575 minutes.

[0016] The charge structure during the blast furnace shutdown on May 24th was as follows:

[0017] [Table 1] The iron production status in the smelting cycle prior to the shutdown on May 24th is as follows:

[0018] [Table 2] From the end of regular maintenance on May 25th until the re-blow at the blast furnace, the charge charging mode at the blast furnace was as follows: 2P 24.5° 6 rotations↓ 2K 24.5° 6 rotations↓ Stock line: 1.6m.

[0019] The re-ventilation method in the blast furnace is as follows: A re-ventilation method using a mixture of nitrogen gas, cold oxygen gas, and hot coal gas is used, and the (14) tuyeres are fully opened to ventilate. The ventilating parameters for re-ventilation are set as follows:

[0020] [Table 3] The status of tapping iron in front of the blast furnace after blasting at 11:50 on May 25th was as follows:

[0021] [Table 4] Blast air started at 11:50 on May 25th, and from 12:18 the stock rod in the south was set to 1.42m and the stock rod in the north to 1.24m. Without operating the stock line, it was determined that the blast furnace was hanging, the hot blast pressure was set to 155kpa, and the pressure difference was 84kpa. At 14:27 a slip accident suddenly occurred, and the stock rod in the south was changed from 1.42m to 2.47m and the stock rod in the north from 1.24m to 2.32m, the hot blast pressure was set to 117kpa, and the pressure difference was 31kpa.

[0022] After the slippage occurred, the liquid level in the expansion tank of the blast furnace dropped rapidly, and the amount of soft water added increased. At the same time, an inspection of the water flow rate trends in the small sleeves revealed that the 2, 3, and 6# small sleeves showed signs of leakage, with the difference in inflow and outflow water volume reaching 7L / min. An inspection of the cooling water system at the blast furnace site confirmed leakage in the 4# and 5# large sleeves and the 2, 3, and 6# small sleeves. The furnace was shut down at 20:05 on May 25th. After this re-ventilation, a total of 26 patches of charge were charged.

[0023] At 8:05 PM on May 25th, the furnace was shut down, and the #4 and #5 large sleeves were replaced, along with the #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6 small sleeves. By the time the blowing was shut down, the soft water supply volume had reached 31.67 m3. At 1:40 PM on May 26th, the replacement of the blower, which had been leaking from the tuyere, was completed, and the blast furnace was re-blow. During this re-blow process, the parameters of the charge charging system at the blast furnace were as follows: ore batch: 14.5 t, coke batch: 4.78 t, coke rate: 515.3 kg / t, load: 3.021, charge charging mode: 2P 24.5° 6 rotations ↓, 2K 24.5° 6 rotations ↓, stock line: 1.6 m. The re-blow method at the blast furnace was as follows: A blowing-type re-ventilation method using a mixture of nitrogen gas, cold oxygen gas, and hot coal gas is used, and 11 tuyeres are blown, and the blowing parameters during re-ventilation are set as follows:

[0024] [Table 5] After the re-blow, the pig hole was opened once around 15:00, and a small amount of red slag was ejected. Immediately after a large amount of slag was ejected from the pig hole, the pig hole was plugged. There were 11 blast tuyere units, and tuyere units 3, 4, and 5 were plugged with mud guns. After the blast, the tuyere units operated normally, and the stock line operated smoothly. At 15:07 on May 26, coke oven gas injection into the blast furnace began. At 15:08, a small pipe line appeared in the blast furnace, and the top pressure rose to 184 kPa and the top temperature rose to 135°C. After the pipeline appeared, the stock rod in the north suddenly increased from 1.94m to 4.08m, and the stock rod in the south suddenly increased from 2.24m to 3.86m. Shortly after, an abnormality was discovered in the difference in the amount of water entering and exiting the 6#7#8#9#11# small sleeves, and the liquid level in the expansion tank of the blast furnace dropped rapidly. After checking the water condition and ordering an observation of the tuyere condition, the tuyere was reported to have turned completely black. An on-site inspection revealed that there was a water leak in the 6#7#8#9#11# small sleeves and the 6# large sleeve. At 4:20 PM, the operation was stopped and the damaged blower equipment replaced. At the morning meeting held at 8:18 on May 27, each department resolved to treat the accident as a furnace cooling accident. During the day shift on May 27, oxygen gas was used in the 1#14# tuyere (the 1#2#13#14# small sleeves were replaced with small sleeves in both chambers), and oxygen gas guns were installed in the blast holes. Re-blow of the blast furnace was conducted again at 20:25 on May 27. The parameters of the charge charging system for the blast furnace during this re-blow were as follows: ore batch: 12t, coke batch: 5.3t, coke rate: 698kg / t, load: 2.26, charge charging mode: 2P 23.5° 6 rotations↓, 3K 23.5° 8 rotations↓, stock line: 1.6m.

[0025] The re-ventilation method used in blast furnaces is a re-ventilation method using a mixture of nitrogen gas, hot oxygen gas, and hot compressed air. There are four ventilating tuyeres in this case, and ventilating is performed using tuyeres 1#, 2#, 13#, and 14#. The remaining tuyeres are blocked with firebricks or cement to completely block excess nitrogen gas from the tuyeres. The BP is set to 170kPa, the air speed is set to 200m / s or more, the pressure difference is set to 140kPa or less, and the oxygen gas content in the blown amount is set to 25% or less. The ventilating parameters for this re-ventilation are set as follows:

[0026] [Table 6] At approximately 3:20 AM on May 28, an on-site inspection discovered a water leak in the antechamber of the #13 small sleeve. Water volume control was performed with a 7.5m3 area, and nitrogen gas was used to maintain the tuyere. The blast furnace's condition gradually returned to normal. At approximately 6:00 PM on May 28, the pit was filled with hot metal, restoring normal operation. At approximately 6:30 AM on May 29, all tuyere openings except for #8 and #9 tuyere openings were completed. At approximately 6:00 PM, cold oxygen gas was injected into the tuyere openings. At approximately 7:00 PM, decarbonized coal gas was introduced into the blast furnace. At approximately 11:00 PM, coke oven gas was introduced into the blast furnace. By this point, the blast furnace cooling incident was essentially resolved, and operating parameters were gradually restored. By May 30, operating parameters and the hydrogen-enriched, carbon-recycling oxygen blast furnace had essentially returned to normal. The Si level in the blast furnace has dropped to 0.74, completing the response to the blast furnace accident.
