DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0021] As described in the background, the existing molten bath smelting device can perform secondary combustion on the un-combusted gas medium through the secondary air or the tertiary air, but cannot effectively utilize the heat of the flue gas for the temperature increase of the molten bath, and has the problem of large consumption of the fuel such as coal powder. In order to solve the above technical problem, the present application provides a reduction smelting device, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 The reduction smelting device comprises a molten bath reaction zone 10, a gas phase reaction zone 20, and at least one top combustion injection device 30. The molten bath reaction zone 10 is provided with at least one side-blown port 101 and at least one molten bath discharge port 102; the gas phase reaction zone 20 is provided with at least one first charging port 201 and a smoke outlet 202, the molten bath reaction zone 10 and the gas phase reaction zone 20 are communicated, and the height of the bottom of the gas phase reaction zone 20 is higher than the height of the top of the molten bath reaction zone 10, the first charging port 201 is used for adding the ore to be smelted; and the top combustion injection device 30 is used for injecting the gas containing oxygen and / or fuel into the gas phase reaction zone 20.

[0022] The reaction materials enter the molten pool reaction zone 10 through the first feed port 201 and are subjected to side-blowing reduction smelting. Incompletely burned gases such as CO and CH4 escape upward and enter the gas phase reaction zone 20. Oxygen-containing gas and / or fuel are sprayed into the gas phase reaction zone 20 through the top combustion injection device 30, so that the above-mentioned incompletely reacted gases can be fully burned. At the same time, since the top combustion injection device 30 generates a certain pressure when spraying oxygen-containing gas and / or fuel, driven by the pressure, the flue gas after combustion covers the surface of the molten pool again, and the heat in the flue gas is fully exchanged with the foam in the violently stirred molten pool, and then the heat is transferred back to the melt after it falls back to the molten pool reaction zone 10, thereby increasing the temperature of the molten pool, and this process can improve fuel utilization efficiency and reduce fuel consumption per unit. (In the electric furnace smelting process, since the material in the molten pool is in a nearly static state, it cannot play the role of increasing the smelting temperature through heat exchange)

[0023] As long as the above objectives can be met, the gas phase reaction zone 20 can be of any geometrical configuration and height. In order to further increase the rate of flue gas flow to the gas phase reaction zone 20 and improve the efficiency of heat exchange, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, preferably, the gas phase reaction zone 20 is vertically arranged above the molten pool reaction zone 10.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the top-burning injection device 30 is disposed at the top of the gas-phase reaction zone 20. This increases the contact area between the oxygen-containing gas and / or fuel and the unreacted gas in the molten pool smelting zone, thereby improving combustion efficiency. More preferably, the injection direction of the top-burning injection device 30 is at an angle of -10 to 10° relative to the vertical.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the top combustion injection device 30 is a single-channel lance, and the outlet end of the top combustion injection device 30 is immersed in the gas-phase reaction zone 20. When the top combustion injection device 30 is a single-channel lance, oxygen-containing gas (oxygen or oxygen-enriched air) is sprayed into the gas-phase reaction zone 20 through the top combustion injection device 30, and fuel is directly added to the gas-phase reaction zone 20 through the second feeding port, or fuel is sprayed into the gas-phase reaction zone 20 through an additional lance. Immersing the outlet end of the first injection in the gas-phase reaction zone 20 can agitate the gas in the gas-phase reaction zone 20, thereby further improving the combustion efficiency and the efficiency of heat supplement to the molten pool reaction zone 10.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment, the top combustion injection device 30 is a multi-channel lance comprising a combustion-supporting gas channel and a fuel channel arranged coaxially, and the outlet end of the top combustion injection device 30 is immersed in the gas phase reaction zone 20. In order to improve combustion efficiency, the fuel channel is preferably arranged inside the combustion-supporting gas channel. The fuel enters the gas phase reaction zone 20 by gravity, and the combustion-supporting gas enters the gas phase reaction zone 20 at a speed of 20-200 m / s.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the height of the outlet end of the top combustion injection device 30 from the surface of the molten bath in the molten bath reaction zone 10 is 0.5-1.5 m. The height of the outlet end of the top combustion injection device 30 includes but is not limited to the above range, and limiting it to the above range can reduce the soot rate while achieving top combustion and heating the molten bath.

[0028] In yet another preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an oxygen-containing gas (oxygen or oxygen-enriched air) enters the gas phase reaction zone 20 through the top combustion injection device 30, and fuel is added to the gas phase reaction zone 20 through the second feeding port 203 to achieve top combustion. Figure 2

[0029] In order to further improve the reduction depth of the molten bath reaction zone 10, in a preferred embodiment, the molten bath reaction zone 10 further comprises at least one side injection device, the side injection device enters the molten bath reaction zone 10 through the side injection port 101, the outlet end of the side injection device is immersed below the liquid surface of the molten bath, and the angle between the side injection device and the horizontal direction is 0-10° to inject oxygen and / or fuel into the molten bath reaction zone 10.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the side injection device is a single-channel lance. In another preferred embodiment, the side injection device is a multi-channel lance comprising a combustion-supporting gas channel and a fuel channel arranged coaxially.

[0031] When the side injection device is a single-channel lance, the molten bath reaction zone 10 is maintained in a reducing atmosphere by controlling the ratio of the oxygen content in the combustion-supporting gas in the side injection lance to the amount of fuel added from the first feeding port 201. When the side injection device is a multi-channel lance, the molten bath reaction zone 10 is maintained in a reducing atmosphere by controlling the ratio of the oxygen content in the combustion-supporting gas in the combustion-supporting gas channel to the amount of fuel in the fuel channel. Preferably, the amount of oxygen required per ton of side injection raw material is 150-300 Nm 3 / t.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the reduction smelting device comprises a molten bath discharge zone 40 and a partition wall 50, the molten bath discharge zone 40 is located outside the molten bath reaction zone 10, and the partition wall 50 is used to separate the molten bath reaction zone 10 from the molten bath discharge zone 40. Preferably, the partition wall 50 extends 100-300 mm below the molten slag layer. ​

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the oxygen concentration of the molten bath reaction zone 10 and the gas phase reaction zone 20 is 60-80%, and the amount of oxygen in the molten bath reaction zone 10 is less than the theoretical amount of oxygen required for complete combustion, and the amount of oxygen in the gas phase reaction zone 20 is greater than the theoretical amount of oxygen required for complete combustion.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure of the molten bath reaction zone 10 is 1.2-1.4 bar, and the pressure of the gas phase reaction zone 20 is 0.1-4 bar. Limiting the pressure of the molten bath reaction zone 10 to the above range enables as much oxygen as possible to be immersed in the molten bath, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the fuel. Limiting the pressure of the gas phase reaction zone 20 to the above range is beneficial for further improving the flue gas in the gas phase reaction zone 20 entering the molten bath reaction zone 10 and exchanging heat with it, thereby further reducing the consumption of fuel.
