[0039] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0040] Example
[0041] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 ,
[0042] A converter low-silicon smelting method comprises the following steps:
[0043] S10, raw material preparation: crush the high silicon iron ore, and prepare limestone and coke as reducing agent and flux; in step S10, a jaw crusher is used to repeatedly crush the high silicon iron ore, and the crushing time is set to 17min to 25min. The particle size of the crushed high silicon iron ore is 9mm to 14mm.
[0044] In this step, the high silicon iron ore is crushed, and limestone and coke are prepared as reducing agents and fluxes. The high silicon iron ore is repeatedly crushed by a jaw crusher, and the crushing time is 17 minutes to 25 minutes, so that the particle size of the high silicon iron ore is in the range of 9mm to 14mm. Such crushing operation helps to increase the surface area of the ore and promote the subsequent smelting reaction.
[0045] S20, preheating and impurity removal: preheating high silicon iron ore, reducing agent and solvent in the converter and increasing the temperature in the furnace; in step S20, the preheating temperature in the rotor is set to 800°C to 1200°C.
[0046] In this stage, the high silicon iron ore, reducing agent and flux in the converter are preheated and the temperature in the furnace is increased. The preheating temperature is set between 800℃ and 1200℃, which helps to reduce energy loss during the smelting process and provide the necessary heat and conditions for subsequent smelting reactions.
[0047] S30, heating and smelting: raising the temperature in the converter, limestone helps the crushed high silicon iron ore to be refined into a metal solution; the temperature in step S30 is raised in the range of 1000°C to 1500°C, and the chemical reaction formula of limestone and crushed high silicon iron ore is:
[0048] CaCO3+SiO2→CaSiO3+CO2;
[0049] Among them, CaCO3 is limestone, SiO2 is high-silicon iron ore, CaSiO3 is limestone slag, and CO2 is carbon dioxide.
[0050] In this step, the temperature in the converter gradually increases, and the addition of limestone helps to refine the high-silicon iron ore into a metal solution. The temperature rise range is between 1000℃ and 1500℃, and the chemical reaction between limestone and high-silicon iron ore helps to lower the melting point of the ore and promote the melting of the metal, thus realizing the smelting process.
[0051] S40, separation of slag: injecting fuel and pure oxygen into the converter, increasing the temperature inside the converter, and oxidizing and separating silicon in the metal solution to form slag; in step S40, the chemical reaction formula for silicon and pure oxygen is:
[0052] (Si+O 2 →SiO 2 );
[0053] According to the above reaction formula, the required amount for the oxidation reaction can be obtained: 1 mol of silicon requires 1 mol of oxygen to be oxidized into silicon dioxide, where 1 mol of silicon is 20g to 28g and 1 mol of oxygen is 30g to 35g.
[0054] In this stage, fuel and pure oxygen are injected to separate silicon from the metal solution to form slag. According to the chemical reaction formula, silicon reacts with oxygen to form silicon dioxide, and an appropriate amount of oxygen is required to complete the reaction. Controlling the amount of oxygen injected and the reaction conditions helps to effectively separate the slag and improve smelting efficiency.
[0055] S50, solution conditioning: reduce the amount of fuel and pure oxygen injected, adjust the temperature inside the converter, and then add a corresponding amount of manganese powder, and gradually increase the amount of fuel and pure oxygen injected after adding, and increase the temperature inside the converter; the calculation formula for the amount of manganese powder added in step S50 is:
[0056]
[0057] Among them, W 锰粉末 is the amount of manganese powder to be added (unit: kg), W 合金 The total amount of the final alloy (unit: kg). After the fuel and pure oxygen injection amount is reduced in step S50, the temperature inside the converter is 800°C to 1000°C. After the fuel and pure oxygen injection amount is increased in step S50, the temperature inside the converter is 900°C to 1050°C.
[0058] In this step, adjusting the injection amount of fuel and oxygen, adding an appropriate amount of manganese powder, and adjusting the temperature in the converter will help improve the quality of the alloy. The amount of manganese powder added is calculated based on the total amount of alloy, and gradually increasing the injection amount of fuel and oxygen, and controlling the temperature in the converter between 800℃ and 1050℃, will help adjust the alloy composition and performance.

[0060] 2Ar+O2→2ArO;
[0061] Argon (Ar) reacts with oxygen (O2) to generate oxide (ArO), which is slag.
[0062] In this step, argon is used to purge the molten steel in the converter, which helps to remove oxides and other impurities in the molten steel. The reaction of argon and oxygen produces oxides, which are slags. Maintaining an appropriate purge time helps improve the quality of the molten steel.
[0063] S70, continuous casting: the molten steel in the converter is continuously cast through a continuous casting machine. In step S70, the crystallizer temperature in the continuous casting machine is set to 1100°C to 1400°C.

[0117] These five embodiments demonstrate the effects of different crusher types, preheating temperatures, and argon purge times on the low-silicon smelting process. The embodiments using jaw crushers and roller crushers (Examples 1 and 4) differ in crushing time, preheating temperature, and argon purge time, and achieve efficient smelting effects respectively. On the other hand, the embodiments of hammer crushers and cone crushers (Examples 2 and 3) demonstrate the effects of different crushing methods and parameter settings on the smelting effect. Overall, by precisely controlling the crusher type, preheating temperature, and argon purge time, the low-silicon smelting process can be optimized, and the smelting efficiency and product quality can be improved.
