Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the metallurgy field, and in particular to a method for smelting with a high cold charge ratio through short - process recycling of converter gas. Background Art

[0002] The proportion of CO2 emissions in industrial emissions is greater than 15%, the CO2 emission intensity is about 2.0 tCO2 / t steel, and the CO2 emissions from the blast furnace process account for more than 50% of crude steel production. Replacing part of the hot metal with low - carbon raw materials such as scrap steel and direct reduced iron can reduce the carbon emissions in crude steel production. However, due to an overly large cold charge ratio, there will be insufficient heat in the converter smelting process, problems such as difficulty in slag melting, and even the inability to complete converter steelmaking.

[0003] Adopting the external cold charge pre - heating technology for converters can effectively increase the proportion of cold charge charged into the converter. However, due to the characteristics of dispersed combustion, effective flue gas collection and treatment cannot be carried out, which is likely to cause environmental pollution and has a low heat efficiency utilization.

[0004] In view of this, this application is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for smelting with a high cold charge ratio through short - process recycling of converter gas to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for smelting with a high cold charge ratio through short - process recycling of converter gas, including:

[0008] S1. Separating the converter gas generated during the converter smelting process to obtain carbon dioxide gas and carbon monoxide - containing gas as the pre - heating and blowing gas sources;

[0009] S2. After the converter is charged with cold charge, mixing the carbon monoxide - containing gas with top - blown oxygen, and using the oxygen lance in a non - premixed mode to ignite at the remaining hot point in the converter to form a burner mode to pre - heat the cold charge;

[0010] Storing the carbon dioxide flue gas generated by pre - heating the cold charge under the burner mode in a flue gas storage tank;

[0011] S3. After the pre - heating proceeds for a first period of time, lifting the oxygen lance to the cooling hood, rocking the converter to make the cold charge tumble in the converter, and after rocking the converter upright, lowering the oxygen lance to a predetermined height and repeating S2 until the temperature of the cold charge is not lower than 600 °C;

[0012] During the ladle baking process, the temperature of the cold charge is a crucial operating parameter. Ensuring that the cold charge temperature reaches at least 600 °C or above can guarantee the smooth progress of subsequent smelting or processing steps. Below this temperature, it may affect the chemical reactions in the furnace or the product quality.

[0013] S4. Lift the oxygen lance to the water-cooled hood, swing the converter to the designated position, charge the hot metal, then swing it back to the upright position, and then lower the oxygen lance to the set position. Blow the converter in different modes based on the smelting conditions. The top-blown mode includes:

[0014] When the cold charge ratio is less than 20% (for example, it can be 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18% or 19%) and the hot metal carbon content ≥ 4.0% or the hot metal silicon content ≥ 0.2%, use the SCH-2 mode for smelting, top-blown oxygen and carbon dioxide, or use the SCH-3 mode, top-blown oxygen;

[0015] At this time, there is sufficient heat source, and there is no need to additionally inject CO to supplement heat.

[0016] When the cold charge ratio is 20%-40% (for example, it can be 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% or 40%) and the hot metal carbon content < 4.0% or the hot metal silicon content < 0.2%, use the SCH-1 mode for smelting, top-blown oxygen and carbon monoxide, the heating intensity of the cold charge is 20-150 °C / min·t cold charge (for example, it can be 20 °C / min·t cold charge, 50 °C / min·t cold charge, 100 °C / min·t cold charge or 150 °C / min·t cold charge), and the heating time is 2-8 min (for example, it can be 2 min, 5 min or 8 min);

[0017] At this time, the heat is insufficient, and it is necessary to additionally inject CO to supplement heat. The heating intensity of the cold charge is adjusted within the range of 20-150 °C / min·t cold charge. According to the specific smelting requirements and the temperature distribution in the furnace, the heating rate of the cold charge can be reasonably controlled. This helps to improve the smelting efficiency, save energy and production costs while ensuring the stability of the smelting process.

[0018] The heating time is set between 2-8 minutes to ensure that the cold charge can fully reach the temperature required for smelting, and at the same time avoid problems such as increased energy consumption or unstable smelting process caused by too long heating time. By precisely controlling the heating time, the utilization rate of the cold charge and the smelting effect can be effectively improved.

[0019] When the ratio of cold charge is greater than 40% and the carbon content of molten iron < 4.0% or the silicon content of molten iron < 0.2%, SCH-1 mode is adopted for smelting, with top-blown oxygen and carbon monoxide. The heating intensity of cold charge is 50 - 200 °C / min·t cold charge (for example, it can be 50 °C / min·t cold charge, 100 °C / min·t cold charge, 150 °C / min·t cold charge or 200 °C / min·t cold charge), and the heating time is 3 - 8 min (for example, it can be 3 min, 5 min or 8 min).

[0020] At this time, there is insufficient heat, and additional CO injection is required to supplement heat. When there is more cold charge (greater than 40%), in order to heat the scrap steel to the appropriate smelting temperature more quickly, it is necessary to increase the heating intensity and heating time of cold charge. This helps to improve smelting efficiency and ensure the stability of production capacity and product quality.

[0021] The bottom-blown gas includes one or more of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon;

[0022] According to the converter smelting situation, automatically switch the smelting mode and gas injection volume;

[0023] S5. During the whole process of converter smelting, carbon dioxide or steam is used as the sealing gas for the nitrogen sealing ring. Based on the monitoring system of the converter smelting process, when it is determined that the molten steel meets the requirements of the smelting task, lift the oxygen lance and close the gas at the set position, and tilt the converter to pour steel.

[0024] Preferably, the burner mode includes low-intensity heating, medium-intensity heating and high-intensity heating; the heating intensity of cold charge for low-intensity heating is 10 - 50 °C / min·t cold charge (for example, it can be 10 °C / min·t cold charge, 20 °C / min·t cold charge, 30 °C / min·t cold charge, 40 °C / min·t cold charge or 50 °C / min·t cold charge), the heating intensity of cold charge for medium-intensity heating is 51 - 100 °C / min·t cold charge (for example, it can be 51 °C / min·t cold charge, 60 °C / min·t cold charge, 70 °C / min·t cold charge, 80 °C / min·t cold charge, 90 °C / min·t cold charge or 100 °C / min·t cold charge), and the heating intensity of cold charge for high-intensity heating is 101 - 200 °C / min·t cold charge (for example, it can be 101 °C / min·t cold charge, 110 °C / min·t cold charge, 120 °C / min·t cold charge, 130 °C / min·t cold charge, 140 °C / min·t cold charge, 150 °C / min·t cold charge, 160 °C / min·t cold charge, 170 °C / min·t cold charge, 180 °C / min·t cold charge, 190 °C / min·t cold charge or 200 °C / min·t cold charge).

[0025] Preferably, based on heavy scrap steel, the weights of light scrap steel and direct reduced iron are converted according to a coefficient of 0.1 - 0.9 (for example, it can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.9).

[0026] The heavy scrap steel and the light scrap steel are single scrap steels, and the direct reduced iron is single direct reduced iron, including hydrogen-based direct reduced iron or coal-based direct reduced iron.

[0027] Preferably, the volume content of carbon dioxide in the flue gas storage tank is 20 - 80% (for example, it can be 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%).

[0028] Preferably, the carbon monoxide-containing gas is high-concentration carbon monoxide or a carbon monoxide mixture. The volume concentration of the high-concentration carbon monoxide gas is 40 - 99.99% (for example, it can be 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 99.99%), and the volume concentration of the carbon monoxide mixture is 30 - 80% (for example, it can be 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%). The gas use pressure is 0.3 - 2.5 MPa (for example, it can be 0.3 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 1.0 MPa, 1.5 MPa, 2.0 MPa, or 2.5 MPa).

[0029] Preferably, when top-blowing carbon monoxide and oxygen, the volume ratio of high-concentration carbon monoxide is not higher than 60%, or the volume ratio of the carbon monoxide mixture is not higher than 80%.

[0030] The reason for such setting is as follows:

[0031] 1. The use of high-concentration carbon monoxide in the furnace has certain risks. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, and at high concentrations, it may lead to safety risks such as explosion or leakage of toxic gas, posing potential hazards to workers and the environment.

[0032] 2. Controlling the volume ratio of carbon monoxide helps to effectively control the redox reaction while top-blowing oxygen. Excessive carbon monoxide content may lead to excessive reduction reactions, affecting the required oxidation effect, and thus affecting the furnace atmosphere and chemical reaction balance during the smelting process.

[0033] 3. Appropriately controlling the usage amount of carbon monoxide can ensure the stability of the smelting process and the expected results of the reaction. Excessive carbon monoxide content may cause fluctuations in the furnace temperature and chemical composition, thereby affecting the quality of the final product and the smelting efficiency.

[0034] Preferably, the volume concentration of the carbon dioxide gas is 60-99.99% (for example, it can be 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 99.99%), and the gas use pressure is 0.3-2.5 MPa (for example, it can be 0.3 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 1.0 MPa, 1.5 MPa, 2.0 MPa or 2.5 MPa).

[0035] Preferably, when top-blown oxygen and carbon dioxide are used, the volume proportion of pure carbon dioxide is not higher than 50%.

[0036] During the smelting process, the top-blown oxygen and carbon dioxide are used to control the gas phase composition and the furnace atmosphere to achieve suitable smelting conditions. An excessively high carbon dioxide content may affect the balance of the redox reaction, thereby affecting the chemical reactions in the molten bath and the quality of the final smelting product.

[0037] In addition, too much carbon dioxide may lead to unnecessary energy losses, increasing the cost and energy consumption of the smelting process.

[0038] Preferably, the proportion of the cold charge is 5%-60% (for example, it can be 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%), and the end temperature of the preheating is not higher than 1000°C;

[0039] The nominal capacity of the converter is 30-400 t.

[0040] A high proportion of cold charge and an excessively high preheating temperature may lead to a shortened equipment life and increased maintenance costs.

[0041] In addition, too high or too low proportions of cold charge and preheating temperatures may affect the combustion and heat conduction of the furnace gas, thereby affecting the thermal efficiency and production capacity of the smelting.

[0042] Preferably, the separation method includes one or more of chemical absorption method, pressure swing adsorption method, membrane separation method, and cryogenic distillation method.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application include:

[0044] The method for smelting with a high cold charge ratio by short-process recycling of converter gas provided by the present application realizes the high-value utilization of part of the converter gas through short-process recycling, which has an important impact on increasing the cold charge charging ratio and the cleanliness of molten steel in converter smelting; based on different smelting conditions, multiple combustion modes are used to dynamically adjust the heating intensity of the cold charge, realizing the improvement of the cold charge charging ratio and the cleanliness of molten steel in the converter, and promoting the development of converter low-carbon smelting technology.

[0056] + the amount of SiO2 in molten iron slag + the amount brought in by the slag splashing layer (2)

[0057] The amount of CaO already in the slag = the amount brought in by light-burned dolomite + the amount brought in by the furnace lining + the amount of CaO in molten iron slag + the amount brought in by the slag splashing layer + the amount brought in by white magnesia balls (3)

[0058] The amount of lime to be added = (R * existing SiO2 - existing CaO) / effective CaO (4)
