Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of silico-manganese slag composition prediction, and in particular to a system and method for predicting the basicity of silico-manganese alloy smelting slag. Background Art

[0002] The composition of silicon-manganese slag is an important factor affecting the technical and economic indicators of smelting. It is very important to select the appropriate slag composition according to the raw materials and equipment conditions. Although the conditions for smelting silicon-manganese alloys are different, the general principle is to have a suitable melting point, viscosity and conductivity to ensure good technical and economic indicators. Among them, slag basicity is the most important indicator of slag composition. Appropriate basicity is one of the important conditions for improving manganese recovery rate, increasing output and reducing smelting power consumption. The definition of slag basicity is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] Where R3 is the ternary basicity of the slag; CaO is the percentage of calcium oxide in the slag; MgO is the percentage of magnesium oxide in the slag; and SiO2 is the percentage of silicon dioxide in the slag. It is generally believed that the basicity of slag should be controlled between 0.55 and 0.65.

[0005] The traditional method for adjusting slag basicity involves testing the slag after one furnace of silicon-manganese alloy smelting is completed. Based on the calculated slag basicity, the ratio of raw materials such as manganese ore, dolomite, silica, and coke in the next furnace is adjusted. Generally, after three to four furnaces of adjustment, the results and characteristics of the slag basicity adjustment can be confirmed. Because each furnace of silicon-manganese alloy smelting takes three to four hours, the adjustment of slag basicity has a significant lag.

[0006] Patent document CN103361461A (application number: CN201210092210.9) discloses an online prediction and control method for phosphorus content in converter-smelted low-carbon steel. Its characteristics are: (1) using online collected furnace gas information to indirectly predict the phosphorus content in molten steel online in real time; (2) using the indirect relationship between the change of CO in the converter gas and the oxygen content in the molten pool in the late blowing stage, that is, predicting the carbon content from the change of CO in the gas, and then predicting the oxygen content based on the carbon-oxygen product relationship, and controlling the slag basicity at R = 3.0-3.5; (3) judging the feeding amount, oxygen consumption and blowing end point, combining mathematical models and operating processes to achieve online control of phosphorus content in converter-smelted low-carbon steel. However, this patent cannot predict the change trend and range of slag basicity in advance before determining the raw material ore to be fed into the submerged arc furnace, and cannot optimize the operation of the submerged arc furnace by determining the adjustment amount of the raw material and auxiliary material ratio in advance, solve the problem of untimely feedback, and ultimately improve the output of the submerged arc furnace and the quality of silicon-manganese alloy.
