Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to a new process in the iron and steel industry, particularly to a short-process steelmaking equipment and process for smelted reduced iron, belonging to the technical field of energy conservation and environmental protection. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional ironmaking process, high-quality coal first needs to be made into coke, and iron oxide also needs to be sintered. Then, the coke and sintered ore are sent into a blast furnace for ironmaking. Most of the current iron and steel enterprises in China adopt this process. Electric arc furnace steelmaking has many advantages that cannot be compared with other steelmaking processes. It can not only easily add and mix various alloy materials in the molten steel to produce special steel products with different requirements, but also has a low direct production cost. However, the electric arc furnace has very strict requirements for raw materials, and the products of traditional blast furnace ironmaking cannot meet the process requirements of the electric arc furnace.

[0003] Direct reduced iron is to reduce the oxygen molecules in iron oxide (iron ore or iron concentrate powder) with a reducing agent under certain conditions to make it into metallic iron. This kind of iron has high purity and few impurities, and is an irreplaceable raw material for the electric arc furnace to refine special high-grade steel. Smelted reduced iron is to make the solid direct reduced iron into molten metallized iron water during the production process, which is another progress of the direct reduction technology. This kind of iron water directly enters the electric arc furnace for steelmaking, reducing intermediate links and heat losses, and lowering production costs. The industry calls it short-process steelmaking.

[0004] The development of direct reduced iron / smelted reduced iron provides a solid raw material basis for electric arc furnace steelmaking. The production of direct reduced iron / smelted reduced iron is divided into two major categories in terms of process nature. One is the gas-based method using natural gas as a reducing agent, and the other is the coal-based method using coal as a reducing agent.

[0005] Some coal-based production technologies have been successively introduced and developed in various places, such as rotary kilns, inclined furnaces, etc. However, they have all failed in the end due to reasons such as serious pollution and low product quality qualification rate. The main problems are that the tail gas emissions exceed the standard, the pollution is serious, the equipment and process are not energy-saving, and they do not meet the environmental protection requirements. The products with high input, high pollution, and low quality cause huge waste of resources. At the same time, steelmaking has a huge demand for electricity, and production is restricted by the power supply. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to design a short-process steelmaking equipment and process for smelted reduced iron, adopt coal-based production technology, simplify the production process, realize short-process electric arc furnace steelmaking, reduce pollution and emissions, improve the quality of steel and energy utilization rate, lower production costs, and form a closed-loop production system for ironmaking, electric arc furnace steelmaking, and power supply.

[0037] The upper end of the direct reduction shaft furnace 2 is provided with a blanking box 202 and an exhaust gas outlet 205. A sealed feeding channel 201 is provided at the connection between the blanking box 202 and the upper end of the direct reduction shaft furnace 2.

By spraying carbon dioxide gas into the blanking box 202, the air brought into the iron oxide carbon pellets 14 raw materials in the blanking box 202 is replaced and discharged, preventing air from entering the direct reduction vertical furnace 2.

[0038] The process of short-process steelmaking by molten reduced iron in this patent is as follows:

[0039] 1) The oxygen generated by the oxygen generator 11 and the pulverized coal 13 input from the pulverized coal raw material box 12 enter the oxygen pulverized coal combustion nozzle 106 according to a certain gas-to-powder ratio after passing through the pulverized coal discharge box 108, and burn in the combustion chamber 101 of the smelting reduction furnace 1 to generate carbon dioxide gas, and release a large amount of heat to make the temperature in the combustion chamber 101 reach 1650°C; the carbon dioxide separated by the pressure swing adsorption gas separation device 5 is passed through the CO 2 The gas cabinet 7 stores the CO that enters the smelting reduction furnace 1. 2 Preheat the CO in the heating tube 102 and the blanking box 202 2 The gas replacement nozzle 203 replaces the air brought into the material box 202 by the carbon dioxide gas blown in; the chemical reaction equation is:

[0040] C+O 2 =CO 2 (combustion)

[0041] 2) The high-temperature carbon dioxide gas generated by the combustion of the pulverized coal 13 in the combustion chamber 101 and the CO 2The carbon dioxide gas preheating the heating pipe 102 enters the direct reduction shaft furnace 2 from bottom to top through the strip-shaped blanking holes 302 of the umbrella-shaped blanking device 3 via the combustion chamber 101; the iron oxide carbon-bearing pellets 14 in the blanking box 202 enter the direct reduction shaft furnace 2 through the feeding channel 201. During the downward movement of the iron oxide carbon-bearing pellets 14, under the action of temperature heat conduction, the iron oxide carbon-bearing pellets 14 in the direct reduction shaft furnace 2 are gradually heated. At the high temperature of the combustion chamber 101 of the smelting reduction furnace 1, the iron oxide carbon-bearing pellets 14 close to the smelting reduction furnace 1 are successively softened into a molten state and flow into the smelting reduction furnace 1 through the strip-shaped blanking holes 302 of the umbrella-shaped blanking device 3. During the above process, the carbon therein gradually reduces the iron oxide (the carbon reacts with Fe 2 O 3 at high temperature, and Fe 3 O 4 is first generated during the process, and Fe 3 O 4 continues to react with carbon at high temperature to generate FeO, and FeO continues to react with carbon to generate metallic Fe), and finally is reduced to metallized molten iron in the smelting reduction furnace 1. The carbon in the iron oxide carbon-bearing pellets 14 reacts with the upward carbon dioxide gas.

[0043] 3C + 2Fe 2 O 3 = 4Fe + 3CO 2 ↑ (high temperature)

[0044] At the same time, during the upward movement of part of the carbon monoxide (CO), it gradually reacts chemically with the downward iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ). (CO reacts with Fe 2 O 3 to first transform into Fe 3 O 4 at high temperature, and Fe 3 O 4 continues to react with CO to transform into FeO, and FeO continues to react with CO to transform into metallic Fe. During the whole process, CO 2 gas is generated. Fe 3 O 4 and FeO are intermediate products, and they continue to react with CO during the process and finally transform into metallic Fe and generate CO2 The gas, and the final chemical reaction equation is:

[0045] 3CO + Fe 2 O 3 = 2Fe + 3CO 2 (at high temperature)

[0046] 3) The mixed gas of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide discharged from the tail gas outlet 205 first enters the cooling and scrubbing tower 4 to cool down and remove impurities, and then enters the pressure swing adsorption gas separation equipment 5 to separate the gas. The separated carbon dioxide gas enters the CO 2 gas holder 7 for storage, and the separated carbon monoxide enters the CO gas holder 6 for storage;

[0047] 4) The carbon monoxide gas enters the gas-fired power generation unit 8 from the CO gas holder 6 to provide power fuel for the gas-fired power generation unit 8. The gas-fired power generation unit 8 provides electricity for each electrical equipment in the system, including the steelmaking electric furnace 9, the pressure swing adsorption gas separation equipment 5, the oxygen production equipment 11, and the power demand of the entire system; by precisely adjusting the oxygen content in the iron oxide pellet with carbon 14 and the carbon-oxygen ratio and supply amount in the pulverized coal fuel, the amount of combustible carbon monoxide gas in the tail gas is adjusted, so as to adjust the power generation amount of the gas-fired power generation unit 8; the carbon dioxide gas enters the CO 2 preheating heating pipe 102 of the smelting reduction furnace 1 and the CO 2 gas replacement nozzle 203 of the blanking box 202 respectively from the CO 2 gas holder 7; among them, more gas enters the CO 2 preheating heating pipe 102, and less gas enters the CO 2 gas replacement nozzle 203, which can meet the requirement of replacing the air brought in by the raw materials in the blanking box 202;

[0048] 5) The hot metal ladle 105 arrives at the steelmaking electric furnace 9 through the ladle conveyor belt 10 or other transfer equipment, and the hot metal is used as the raw material for the short-process steelmaking in the steelmaking electric furnace 9;

[0049] In this patent, the iron oxide pellet with carbon 14 is used as the main raw material, which is made by using lime as the binder to mix pulverized coal and iron oxide powder in a certain proportion. Lime can effectively remove the harmful elements in the raw materials and finally discharge them in the form of waste residue.
