Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric arc furnace steelmaking, and in particular to a dynamic control method, system and device for electric arc furnace steelmaking using direct reduced iron. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (hereinafter referred to as hydrogen-based direct reduced iron) is a metallic iron product that uses rich hydrogen / hydrogen gas as a reducing agent to reduce iron oxides in iron ore. It is one of the high-quality clean raw materials for electric arc furnace steelmaking. In the production process of electric arc furnaces, a certain proportion of hydrogen-based direct reduced iron is added with some scrap steel as raw materials for melting and smelting. However, due to the high gangue component, low carbon content, small particle size and density of hydrogen-based direct reduced iron, it is easy to float on the slag layer / slag steel interface during smelting, and has low thermal conductivity, resulting in slow melting speed and low melting efficiency. It is also greatly affected by the feeding speed. Too fast feeding speed will form an iceberg effect, and too slow feeding speed will lead to a long smelting cycle and high energy consumption.

[0003] The conventional smelting method is to increase the temperature of the raw materials entering the furnace and directly use hot direct reduced iron or preheat cold direct reduced iron for smelting; another feasible way is to use clustered oxygen supply, carbon powder blowing and other means to strengthen the blowing at the hydrogen-based direct reduced iron feeding port of the electric arc furnace to accelerate melting; in addition, the furnace wall burners can be added to the hydrogen-based direct reduced iron dropping area to increase energy input and promote rapid melting of direct reduced iron. However, the smelting process requires coordinated control of the feeding speed, power supply, oxygen supply, and carbon injection processes, and the thermal balance state in the furnace is unstable, which can easily lead to serious overoxidation of the molten steel, low metal recovery, high energy consumption, etc. At the same time, it will have a serious dependence on carbon powder, resulting in a large amount of CO2 emissions.
