Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a nuclear energy coupled hydrogen-rich blast furnace, and in particular to a comprehensive circulation system of nuclear energy power generation and heat supply coupled hydrogen-rich blast furnace-converter. Background Art

[0002] The energy-intensive steel industry is the largest carbon emitter among the 31 manufacturing industries. At present, my country's crude steel output is about 996.3 million tons, accounting for 53.3% of the world's steel output, ranking first in the world, and CO2 emissions are 2.1 billion tons, accounting for about 15% of the country's total carbon emissions. The blast furnace-converter process based on carbon metallurgy and ore accounts for about 90% of steel production, among which blast furnace ironmaking is the process with the largest CO2 emissions, accounting for about 70%-90% of the total CO2 emissions of the entire steel production. Using hydrogen to replace carbon as a reducing agent and fuel in the ironmaking process to the maximum extent, the product of hydrogen participating in the reaction is water, which can further significantly reduce CO2 emissions and fundamentally realize low-carbon smelting in blast furnaces. Using green hydrogen for hydrogen-rich low-carbon smelting in blast furnaces has become a hot spot for the research and development of transformative technologies for steel manufacturing processes. How to safely and efficiently supply high-temperature hydrogen-rich gas to blast furnaces is one of the key issues that need to be solved to achieve hydrogen-rich low-carbon smelting in blast furnaces. The high-temperature hydrogen-rich gas currently supplied to the blast furnace is flammable and explosive. Steel or alloy materials that are not highly sensitive to hydrogen and are extremely resistant to high temperature and high pressure should be selected. However, the common hydrogen-adjacent materials currently have a problem of premature failure caused by a significant reduction in high-temperature strength after the temperature exceeds 750°C and severe corrosion of the outer wall of the pipeline or device. It is necessary to further provide more suitable high-temperature materials and heating methods that are resistant to high-temperature corrosion, high-temperature creep, and hydrogen embrittlement. At the same time, based on the traditional blast furnace-converter long process, further comprehensive and effective utilization of waste heat and waste energy in the entire process, to achieve the goal of minimizing process energy consumption and further saving energy and reducing carbon, it is also necessary to build and optimize new systems.
