[0001] The present application relates to the field of blast furnace metallurgy, in particular to a sintering process oxygen-enriched combustion air-fuel ratio optimization method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Oxygen-enriched combustion is one of the mainstream energy-saving technologies in modern combustion. Oxygen-enriched combustion technology can lower the ignition point of fuel, accelerate the combustion speed, promote complete combustion, increase flame temperature, reduce the amount of flue gas after combustion, improve heat utilization rate, and reduce excess air coefficient. It is called "resource creative technology" by developed countries. The mechanism of oxygen-enriched combustion technology is understood to some extent, and some practical research has been conducted in actual engineering.

[0003] The energy consumption of the sintering process accounts for about 9% of the total energy consumption of steel production, and the sintering waste gas accounts for 45% of the total waste gas of the steel industry. Sintering oxygen-enriched ignition uses oxygen-enriched air obtained by mixing industrial pure oxygen with conventional air, and low-calorific-value fuel gas to achieve efficient ignition of low-calorific-value fuel gas, thereby reducing sintering ignition gas consumption, strengthening the surface fuel combustion process, reducing sintering process solid consumption, and reducing the emission of pollutants such as CO in the sintering process. It has a significant effect on reducing the production cost of sinter, reducing the emission of pollutants and carbon emissions in the sintering process, and improving the profitability and technological upgrading of enterprises.

[0004] The existing oxygen-enriched combustion air-fuel ratio optimization technology uses manual exploration, has poor accuracy, and takes a long time to optimize. In actual use, due to the fluctuation of oxygen, the fluctuation of mixed combustion air and coal gas, and the hysteresis effect, it is often stopped abruptly. SUMMARY

[0011] If the ignition temperature is lower than the original ignition temperature after correction and compensation, the original air-fuel ratio is restored.

[0012] In each optimization process, 4-5 t periods are experienced, and the optimization is terminated.

[0013] Preferably, the speed temperature compensation = k1*(current cycle speed-last cycle speed) / last cycle speed*last cycle temperature.

[0014] Preferably, the flow temperature compensation = k3*(k4*k2*flow deviation e+(1-k2)*70*flow deviation rate ek).

[0015] Preferably, the flow deviation e = current cycle flow-last cycle flow, the current cycle flow is the average of the numbers taken every second in the first 50 seconds, and the last cycle flow is the average of the numbers taken every second in the last 20 seconds.

[0016] Preferably, the flow deviation rate ek = (100 second flow value-75 second flow value) / 25, the value in a period of 120 seconds.

[0017] Preferably, the optimization temperature comparison is: Tm = current cycle temperature T2-last cycle temperature T1 + speed temperature compensation-flow temperature compensation+Δt.

[0018] Preferably, K1 = 0.85, k2 = 0.4, k3 = 0.55 k4 = 1.05 Δt = 2℃.
