[0029] Example 1:
[0030] The sintering process ultra-low internal return rate improvement method of the present application, the sintering process ultra-low internal return rate improvement method of the present application, including the method is as follows:
[0031] a, adjust the burden structure, optimize the burden structure under the condition of optimal material cost, adjust the burden ratio, reduce the return ore rate; by using a large amount of low-cost limonite as the main material for sintering, how to make good use of high proportion of limonite, reasonable ore matching is very important, find out the optimal matching ratio of different materials, and carry out sintering cup test in advance, and obtain the best burden structure, reduce the cost while reducing the sintering internal return rate, by matching limonite with magnetite concentrate, the proportion of limonite powder is less than 55%, and the proportion of magnetite concentrate is increased to 6.21%;
[0032] b, accurately control the error of discharging, display the real-time data and curve of the silo discharging on the industrial internet platform, and automatically calculate the discharging amount according to the silo weight, the discharging error is within 1%;
[0033] c, adopt the ultra-thick bed low-water low-carbon production process, adjust the sintering bed, and make the sintering bed reach 910-950mm;
[0034] d, establish an internal return rate intelligent analysis system, by automatically acquiring and / or manually importing the sintering process data into the analysis system, the internal intelligent analysis system is internally provided with correlation, regression and / or clustering analysis algorithm, the actual production process data and internal return rate result data are analyzed and regularity is found by correlation, regression and / or clustering method, the correlation of internal return data under the process parameter condition is maximized; and output the process parameters of the historical optimal internal return rate, and output the process parameters of the predicted optimal internal return rate by using the prediction model;
[0035] e. Improve the process operation and the vibrating screen screening method. Set two rows of multiple blind grates on both sides of the trolley to turn the edge airflow 90°. According to the trajectory of the mixture in the cylinder and the coverage of the nozzle, make the spray surface of each nozzle slightly overlap, and then spray it completely onto the material surface. The mixing water is 80℃ hot water. A water curtain is set up at the outlet to remove dust. In the secondary mixer, due to the friction between the mixture and the inner wall of the drum, and between the mixtures, the mixture is repeatedly circulated. The mixture is granulated in this repeated movement. The mixture rolls through the above movement process to form small balls.
[0036] The sintering material layer adopts a trapezoidal material distribution method, and the sintering material layer is 910~930mm. The method also includes improving the fuel particle size crushing structure. First, the gap between the two sides of the four rollers is sealed with old belts. Then, a flexible guide cylinder is installed at the feed inlet of the four roller buffer chamber. Particle size testing is performed on rollers 1 / 2 / 3 of the four rollers at regular intervals. During the shift, shims are adjusted based on the daily crushing results of the four rollers to ensure the crushed particle size meets the requirements. During maintenance, marked air leakage points are welded and repaired to reduce air leakage in the ventilation system.
[0037] The thick-layer sintering production plan adopts a trapezoidal material distribution method, increasing the material thickness by 50mm based on the trolley sideboard, and by 30mm compared to the same industry standard. This increases the yield of sintered ore by approximately 2%, and correspondingly improves the drum strength of sintered ore by 1%. The reduced carbon content in the sintering mixture leads to a predicted decrease of approximately 3% in the solid fuel consumption of the sintered ore, and a decrease in the FeO content, improving the reducibility of the sintered ore. This is beneficial for reducing the coke ratio during ironmaking, resulting in considerable economic benefits. The ultra-thick material layer low-water, low-carbon production method further enhances the sintering process. The thick material layer method can reduce the fuel ratio, promote the combustion of solid fuel, reduce FeO formation, and reduce solid fuel consumption. During production, the maximum thickness can reach 950mm, which can reduce the sintering machine speed by about 8%, reduce the vertical sintering speed, and the thick material layer sintering can improve the yield of sintered ore, that is, reduce the return rate, and reduce the energy consumption of sintering. The thick material layer has a strong automatic heat storage effect, which can increase the heat required by the combustion layer by 40%. It is beneficial to reduce solid fuel consumption, reduce the surface cold return rate, and improve the yield of sintered ore.
[0038] The method also includes replacing the wind box partition plate with a spring-loaded sealing plate. Ignition generally has an "edge effect," meaning that at low temperatures, the material on both sides of the trolley often cannot be ignited, resulting in yellow material. This part then becomes return ore. Therefore, during maintenance, the wind box partition plate is replaced with a spring-loaded sealing plate to reduce the ignition negative pressure, ensure that no yellow material appears on the surface of the material layer, and reduce the internal return rate.
[0039] The improved method for ultra-low internal return rate in the sintering process of this invention can reduce the internal return rate by about 3%. After the implementation of this method, the drum index of sintered ore is increased by at least 1%, and the yield of sintered ore is increased by at least 2%, which better meets the production needs of blast furnace, lays a raw material foundation for the smooth operation of blast furnace production, and achieves good economic benefits. The increase in the strength of sintered ore also helps to reduce dust generation and improve the on-site environment.
[0040] The improved method for ultra-low internal return rate in the sintering process of the present invention involves adjusting the ingredient structure as follows:
[0041] The experiment was conducted under a basic alkalinity of 1.8. The feed composition was changed every three days. After adjustment, the production status was observed and recorded for one week, and the change in the return ore rate was observed. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shown ingredient structure is the ratio from September 25th to 28th, using a mixture of 31.3% mixed powder and 26.3% super-fine powder with 2.94% Jinshan concentrate. This ratio is limonite mixed with some magnetite concentrate. As the ingredient structure for the experiment, the change in cold return rate was observed.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shown ingredient structure is the ratio from September 29 to October 1, using a mixture of 32.54% bleached powder and 25.74% superfine powder, combined with 6.21% Fushan concentrate. This ratio is a mixture of limonite and some magnetite concentrate. The ratio of magnetite concentrate was increased to form the ingredient structure for the experiment.
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, under the condition of constant basicity, through this adjustment of the feed structure, when the proportion of mixed powder and super-fine powder (such as limonite powder) reaches more than 55%, the sintering internal return rate is high, the limonite burn-off is large, the material layer shrinkage is large, the ore formation rate is low, and the liquid phase production is poor. When the proportion of magnetite concentrate is increased from 2.94% to 6.21%, the sintering internal return rate decreases, but there is still a slight increase in the content. However, the average internal return rate is decreasing. When the proportion of limonite is high, the combination with magnetite concentrate often complements the materials in the sintering process. When the liquid phase production capacity is strong, adding magnetite powder with a higher assimilation temperature and moderate liquid phase flow as a supplement can effectively improve the strength of the sinter and reduce the internal return rate.
[0044] The improved method for ultra-low internal return rate in the sintering process of the present invention involves the following experiment to adjust the material layer thickness:
[0045] The experiment was conducted with the basic alkalinity remaining constant at 1.8. The production status was observed after each adjustment of the material layer thickness and during the shift, and the change in the return ore rate was observed.
[0046] Track different material layer thicknesses daily and follow... Figures 6 to 12The different cloth thicknesses of the cloth are tracked to observe the change of the internal return rate; the average value of the internal return rate of each day is as follows Figure 13 As shown in the figure, Figure 14 As shown in the figure, with the increase of the material layer thickness, the sintered ore return rate shows a downward trend, and the decrease is relatively large, so the sintered ore return rate decreases by 0.2-0.8% when the sintered material layer thickness increases by 10mm; with the increase of the material layer thickness, the automatic heat storage capacity of the material layer is strengthened, more heat is gathered at the lower part, the strength of the sintered ore at the lower part of the material layer is improved, and the return rate is reduced accordingly; the increase of the material layer thickness has a great influence on the strength of the sintered ore.
[0047] The sintering process ultra-low internal return rate improvement method of the present application, the sintering process ultra-low internal return rate improvement method of the present application, the change of process operation and the adjustment experiment of the vibration screen screening effect are as follows:
[0048] Under the condition of basicity of 1.8, after the change of process operation and the adjustment of the vibration screen screening effect, the production status of one week is observed and recorded, and the change of the return rate is observed.

[0053] (5) When the sintering machine is distributing material, the eleven-roller lower side beam limits the distribution height, and the material layer is only 910 mm high. When overhauling, the two-centimeter-wide flat material plate at the bottom of the eleven-roller is cut off, so that the distribution thickness is increased by 20 mm on the basis of the original, and the sintering ore yield is improved;
[0054] (6) One set of sieve nets of the first and second sieves and the third sieve are replaced during overhauling, and the >5 mm particle level in the cold return ore is reduced from 11.74% before overhauling to 4.93% after overhauling, and the total amount of >5 mm in the cold return is reduced, thereby reducing the internal return rate;
