Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal, and in particular to a coal blending method under low-load production conditions. Background Technology
[0002] Under normal production conditions, the coke oven turnaround time (the time interval between two coke pushes in the same carbonization chamber during coke oven operation) is relatively fixed, and the coal blending structure is also relatively stable. The turnaround time of Angang's 7-meter coke oven is 20 hours, the standard temperature is controlled at 1220℃ on the machine side and 1270℃ on the coke side. In the coal blending structure, the proportion of coking coal and fat coal is basically controlled at 65%-67% (5%-8% of high-sulfur coking coal), the proportion of lean coal is 15%-17%, the volatile matter of blended coal is controlled at 25%-27%, and the sulfur content of coke is between 0.7%-0.8%. Due to environmental protection control, some production lines have stopped production, and the coke oven turnaround time has been extended from 20 hours to 38 hours. In order to balance the gas, reduce the sulfur content of coke, and stabilize the quality of coke, it is necessary to optimize the coal blending structure, reduce the volatile matter of blended coal, and stop using high-sulfur coal.
[0003] Coke oven production restriction refers to maintaining low-load production by extending the coking time when normal production cannot be maintained for a certain period due to natural disasters or other objective reasons. The main characteristic of this extended coking time process is that the coke remains in the carbonization chamber for a period after maturation before being discharged; the longer the coking time, the longer the oven shut-in time after maturation. Calculations show that when the production capacity of a large coke oven is reduced to 10% of its design capacity, the amount of gas produced can meet the minimum heating requirements. However, because the graphite on the carbonization chamber walls has been burned off, the leakage of raw gas increases. For safety reasons, it is advisable for large coke ovens to operate at no less than 15% of their design capacity, medium-sized coke ovens at no less than 20%, and small coke ovens at no less than 25%. Therefore, we propose a coal blending method under low-load production conditions to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a solution for situations where coke oven turnaround time is extended from 19 hours to 38 hours due to environmental regulations, some production lines are shut down, and gas production needs to be reduced to balance the gas supply. In order to reduce coke sulfur content and costs, the invention optimizes the coal blending structure under low load conditions to ensure stable coke quality.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A coal blend for low-load production conditions comprises, by mass percentage, the following raw materials: 25-30% coking coal, 25-27% fat coal, 13-18% 1 / 3 coking coal, 13-15% lean coal, and 10-12% semi-lean coal.
[0007] A coal blending method under low-load production conditions, characterized in that the optimization steps are as follows:
[0008] (1) Batching: The coal types in the coal mixing tank are mixed in the set proportions: 30% coking coal, 27% fat coal, 18% 1 / 3 coking coal, 14% lean coal, and 11% semi-lean coal;
[0009] (2) Crushing: The blended coal is fed into a crusher and crushed to form blended coal;
[0010] (3) Coking: The crushed blended coal is loaded into the coking oven through the coking oven charging hole for coking;
[0011] (4) Quenching: Mature coke is cooled and discharged as finished coke through a dry quenching device.
[0012] Furthermore, the performance indicators of the obtained coke are as follows: ash content 12.44%, sulfur content 0.53%, drum strength 89.5%, abrasion resistance 6.0%, thermal strength 71.1%, and reactivity 19.85%.
[0013] Furthermore, in the crushing step, the fineness of the crushed coal reaches more than 78%, and the various coal types are mixed evenly during the crushing process to ensure the uniformity and stability of the coal quality.
[0014] Furthermore, in the coking step, mature coke is obtained after 38 hours of high-temperature dry distillation, with the standard temperature controlled at 1170℃ on the machine side and 1190℃ on the coke side.
[0015] Furthermore, under minimum load conditions, the turnaround time is extended, and the standard temperature of the coke oven is correspondingly reduced; the volatile matter content of the blended coal decreases from 25-26% to about 24%, reducing the amount of coal gas produced and stabilizing the coal gas balance; the coke strength index remains stable above 89%; and under environmental protection control, the coke sulfur content is controlled below 0.6%.
[0016] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The turnaround time has been significantly extended, so the standard temperature has been appropriately reduced to ensure the stability of the coke oven thermal regime;
[0018] 2. To reduce gas production, the proportion of coking coal and fat coal in the coal blending structure will be reduced by 1 / 3, and the proportion of lean coal will be increased accordingly.
[0019] 3. To reduce costs, extending the turnover time helps increase the proportion of cheaper 1 / 3 coking coal and lean coal, thereby reducing coke costs. Attached Figure Description
