Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of low-carbon metallurgy, and in particular relates to a low-carbon smelting method and device for vanadium-titanium ore 5R-GreenSt. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main technically mature ironmaking processes include blast furnace ironmaking, smelting reduction (HIsmelt, COREX, Finex), direct reduction (gas-based direct reduction, coal-based direct reduction), etc. The existing processes have their own advantages and disadvantages, mainly:

[0003] (1) The blast furnace ironmaking process technology is mature and can achieve an annual production capacity of more than one million tons for a single device. However, its disadvantages are over-reliance on high-quality metallurgical coke; supporting construction of coking, sintering, and pelletizing is required, and the system investment is large; the blast furnace is difficult to operate and difficult to recover after abnormal and fluctuating furnace conditions; and the cost, carbon emissions, and energy consumption are high.

[0004] (2) Melt reduction

[0005] ①The heat transfer effect of HIsmelt process is not good. The temperature of molten iron in the molten pool is low, only 1400-1450℃. The flue gas volume is as high as 2700Nm3 / t iron, and the flue gas temperature reaches 1600℃. A large amount of physical heat is lost outside the furnace along with the flue gas. The iron loss is high, the fuel consumption is high, and the carbon emission is high.

[0006] ② The [Si] content of COREX and Finex molten iron is high, the amount of gas generated is too large, and the primary carbon consumption is high.

[0007] ③ The utilization rate of carbon's chemical energy is insufficient. Part of the carbon element escapes with the coal gas in the form of CO, and its chemical energy cannot be further utilized.

[0008] (3) Direct reduction

[0009] ① Hydrogen-based vertical furnaces have high requirements for ore quality. For low-grade ores with an Fe content of 52-55%, the gangue content is high. Under the condition of a metallization rate of 90%, the grade of the direct reduced iron produced is less than 70%, facing the problem of low utilization value or high back-end utilization cost.

[0010] ② Coal-based direct reduction requires solid fuel, so the carbon consumption is high; and there is the same problem as the gas-based vertical furnace in terms of high ore quality requirements.

[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a green iron-making process with lower energy consumption, lower cost and less environmental pollution. Summary of the invention

[0041] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0042] (1) Pure oxygen-carbon cycle blast furnace

[0043] Different from the traditional blast furnace (using atmospheric smelting), the pure oxygen-carbon cycle blast furnace uses pure oxygen smelting to convert the blast furnace top gas (mainly CO, CO 2 , without N 2 ) 2 After being removed, it becomes clean coal gas (main component CO). After being heated, the clean coal gas is sprayed back into the blast furnace for recycling, which can reduce CO 2 Emissions are 20% (compared with traditional blast furnaces, the same below).

[0044] (2) Hydrogen-rich injection

[0045] Compared with the traditional blast furnace hydrogen-rich injection (H 2 The utilization rate is only 45%, and the carbon reduction effect is less than 5%). The present invention adopts pure oxygen-carbon cycle and hydrogen-rich injection (hereinafter referred to as "hydrogen-rich carbon cycle"), and injects coke oven gas, natural gas, H 2 etc., the blast furnace (PBF furnace) top gas (main components CO, CO 2 , H 2 , H 2 CO in O 2 , H 2 O is removed to become clean coal gas (main components CO, H 2 ), after being heated, the clean coal gas is sprayed back into the blast furnace for recycling, H 2 The final utilization rate reaches more than 95%, which can reduce CO 2 Emission 30-75%.

[0046] (3) Clean Energy Metallurgy

[0047] Different from the traditional blast furnace (gas injection temperature of 1200℃), the Xichang clean energy metallurgical process heats the clean coal gas to 1800-2300℃ through plasma gas electric heating and other technologies, and then injects it into the hydrogen-rich carbon circulation blast furnace, so that the heat required for melting slag and iron in the furnace is provided by electricity, reducing the consumption of fossil energy in the blast furnace and reducing CO 2 Emissions 40-70%.

[0048] (4) High titanium slag smelting

[0049] Compared with traditional blast furnace (slag TiO 2 content = 22 ± 0.5%, molten iron vanadium content 0.31 ± 0.01%), in the smelting process of the present invention, due to the system N 2 Low partial pressure can greatly inhibit the formation of Ti(C,N), solve the problem of slag iron stickiness during high-titanium slag smelting, increase the vanadium content of molten iron to 0.33-0.50%, and improve the slag TiO 2 The content will reach 25-40%, which will be a big step forward in the industrial application of titanium extraction from blast furnace slag.

[0050] (5) Cold briquetting and biomass metallurgy

[0051] Different from the traditional blast furnace (using sintered ore, pelletized ore and high-quality metallurgical coke as raw materials and fuel), in the smelting process of the present invention, due to the furnace gas (mainly composed of CO, H 2 , without N 2 ) has a much higher reduction potential than conventional blast furnace bosh gas (containing 50% N 2 ), the metallization rate of Fe element in the blast furnace soft melting zone is as high as 90%, the coke loss in the furnace body is reduced, and the permeability of the blast furnace is improved. Therefore, relatively low-strength cold pressed blocks and biomass carbonized fuels can be used to partially replace sintering, pelletized ore and high-quality metallurgical coke, which can reduce CO 2 Emission 50-75%.

GreenSt is the abbreviation of greensteel, which is green steel;

[0060] The low-carbon smelting method comprises:

[0061] The iron-containing material and solid fuel are continuously charged from the top of the PBF furnace 10, the hot reducing gas is continuously injected from the gas injection port 6, and at the same time, oxygen and pulverized coal are continuously injected from the gas injection port 6;

[0062] In the PBF furnace 10, the injected pulverized coal and the solid fuel descending from the furnace top to the gas injection port 6 react with the injected oxygen to generate hot reducing gas, and the chemical reaction formula is: 2 +2C=2CO;

[0063] The injected hot reducing gas and the generated hot reducing gas undergo reduction reaction with the iron oxides in the iron-containing materials descending from the furnace top during the process of ascending in the furnace, thereby generating metallic iron and slag;

[0064] At the same time, the heat of the reducing gas is transferred to the metallic iron and the slag, generating liquid slag and molten iron. The liquid slag enters the furnace cylinder 5 under the action of gravity and is layered in the furnace cylinder 5, with the liquid slag distributed in the upper layer and the liquid molten iron distributed in the lower layer. The liquid slag is continuously discharged from the furnace from the slag discharge port 7 to make room in the furnace, so that the charge is continuously and stably lowered.

[0065] The gaseous product of the chemical reaction in the PBF furnace 10 becomes the PBF furnace gas, which is discharged from the top of the PBF furnace 10 and, after purification, generates purified reducing gas, which is recycled to form hot reducing gas. After purification, the PBF furnace gas is freed of dust and CO 2 and H 2 O, and the purified reducing gas is obtained. The main components of the purified reducing gas are CO and H 2 .

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the iron-containing materials include sintered ore, pelletized ore and cold-pressed blocks; the solid fuel includes metallurgical coke, small coke and biomass carbon blocks; the cold-pressed blocks are iron-containing block materials made by cold pressing scrap steel, iron oxide scale, iron filings and iron ore concentrate powder;

[0072] In some other embodiments of the present invention, in order to obtain better carbon reduction effect, the solid fuel is loaded into the throat 1 of the PBF furnace 10, and the throat 1 is divided into 10 circular rings of equal area in the horizontal section, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10# rings from the center of the circle outward; when the top of the PBF furnace 10 is loaded, the biomass carbonized fuel is loaded into the 9# to 10# ring positions, the metallurgical coke is loaded into the 1# to 3# ring positions with a quantity of 80kg / thm, and the 4# to 8# ring positions are loaded with small pieces of coke.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature of the injected hot reducing gas is 1200-2300°C, and the injection flow rate is 980-1500Nm 3 / thm; the temperature of oxygen injection is less than 50℃; the temperature of coal powder injection is less than 50℃, so that the heat required for melting slag iron in the furnace is provided by electric energy, reducing the consumption of fossil energy in the blast furnace and reducing CO 2 Emissions 40-70%.

[0074] In some other embodiments of the present invention, in order to obtain a better carbon reduction effect, the relationship between the temperature and flow rate of the injected hot reducing gas, and the amount of solid fuel added and the total amount of coal powder injected (referred to as "solid fuel consumption") is as follows:

[0113] Production shows:

[0114] (1) Pure oxygen-carbon cycle blast furnace

[0115] Different from the traditional blast furnace (using atmospheric smelting), the pure oxygen-carbon cycle blast furnace uses pure oxygen smelting to convert the blast furnace top gas (mainly CO, CO 2 , without N 2 ) 2 After being removed, it becomes clean coal gas (main component CO). After being heated, the clean coal gas is sprayed back into the blast furnace for recycling, which can reduce CO 2 Emissions are 20% (compared with traditional blast furnaces, the same below).

[0116] (2) Hydrogen-rich injection

[0117] Compared with the traditional blast furnace hydrogen-rich injection (H 2 Unlike the carbon utilization rate of only 45% and the carbon reduction effect of <5%), Xichang Steel and Vanadium adopts pure oxygen-carbon cycle + hydrogen-rich injection (hereinafter referred to as "hydrogen-rich carbon cycle"), injecting coke oven gas, natural gas, H 2 etc., the blast furnace top gas (main components CO, CO 2 , H 2 , H 2 CO in O 2 , H 2 O is removed to become clean coal gas (i.e. purified reducing gas) (main components CO, H 2 ), after being heated, the clean coal gas is sprayed back into the blast furnace for recycling, H 2 The final utilization rate reaches more than 95%, which can reduce CO 2 Emission 30-75%.

[0118] (3) Clean Energy Metallurgy

[0119] Different from the traditional blast furnace (gas injection temperature of 1200℃), the Xichang clean energy metallurgical process heats the clean coal gas to 1800-2300℃ through plasma gas electric heating and other technologies, and then injects it into the hydrogen-rich carbon circulation blast furnace, so that the heat required for melting slag and iron in the furnace is provided by electricity, reducing the consumption of fossil energy in the blast furnace and reducing CO 2 Emissions 40-70%.

[0120] (4) High titanium slag smelting

[0121] Compared with traditional blast furnace (slag TiO 2 Content = 22 ± 0.5%, hot metal vanadium content 0.31 ± 0.01%), Xichang hydrogen-rich carbon cycle blast furnace process, due to system N 2 Low partial pressure can greatly inhibit the formation of Ti(C,N), solve the problem of slag iron stickiness during high-titanium slag smelting, increase the vanadium content of molten iron to 0.33-0.50%, and improve the slag TiO 2 The content will reach 25-40%, which will be a big step forward in the industrial application of titanium extraction from blast furnace slag.

[0122] (5) Cold briquetting and biomass metallurgy

[0123] Unlike traditional blast furnaces (which use sintered ore, pelletized ore and high-quality metallurgical coke as raw materials and fuels), the Xichang hydrogen-rich carbon cycle blast furnace process uses furnace gas (mainly CO, H 2 , without N 2 ) has a much higher reduction potential than conventional blast furnace bosh gas (containing 50% N 2 ), the metallization rate of Fe element in the blast furnace soft melting zone is as high as 90%, the coke loss in the furnace body is reduced, and the permeability of the blast furnace is improved. Therefore, relatively low-strength cold pressed blocks and biomass carbonized fuels can be used to partially replace sintering, pelletized ore and high-quality metallurgical coke, which can reduce CO 2 Emission 50-75%.
