Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of metallurgical electroslag remelting, and particularly relates to a device for reducing emission of fluorine-containing gas pollutants in electroslag remelting and a use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a new special metallurgical technology, electroslag remelting plays an important role in the special steel industry. The basic principle is that the metal or alloy is re-melted into metal droplets by the resistance heat generated when the electric current passes through the molten slag in the water-cooled crystallizer, and the metal droplets are fully contacted with the liquid slag during the dropping process to achieve the purpose of purification. In order to achieve the best electroslag remelting purification effect, the electroslag remelting usually uses a "three-seven" binary slag, that is, containing 70% CaF2 and 30% Al2O3. At high temperatures, CaF2 can generate toxic gases SiF4 and HF with the components in the slag and the moisture in the air, causing environmental pollution. Related studies have shown that air sampling was conducted at the production site of electroslag remelting using a three-seven slag, and it was found that the concentrations of SiF4 and HF in the air were very high, and the highest concentration could reach 5.6 mg / m 3 , and the concentration of fluorine-containing gas in the atmosphere should be less than 0.02 mg / m 3 according to GB3095-1996. In order to prevent pollution, a large amount of research has been conducted on fluoride-free electroslag slag, and although various fluoride-free slags have been developed, due to the fact that the viscosity of fluoride-free slag is much larger than that of fluoride-containing slag, the ability to remove inclusions is relatively weak, and it is not suitable for high-quality electroslag steel production, so fluoride-free slag has not been widely used in industry. SUMMARY
