[0002] An electric arc furnace (EAF) generates a large amount of high-temperature flue gas during the steel production process, and this flue gas contains abundant heat. However, traditional electric arc furnaces usually directly discharge this part of the flue gas into the atmosphere, which not only wastes valuable thermal energy resources but also increases the environmental burden.

[0003] The Chinese patent with the application number 201410215970.3 discloses an industrial electric arc furnace waste heat utilization and flue gas recovery device. A dust collection hood is arranged above the electric arc furnace, and the dust collection hood is connected to an exhaust pipeline provided with a dust removal mechanism. The dust removal mechanism is connected to an exhaust stack, and the exhaust stack discharges the flue gas into a waste heat furnace connected to the exhaust stack for waste heat recovery; the electric arc furnace is also connected to a combustion sedimentation chamber, the combustion sedimentation chamber is connected to a heat pipe evaporator, and the heat pipe evaporator is connected to a high-pressure steam drum to provide high-pressure steam for other equipment to use; this device collects flue gas through a dust collection hood arranged above the electric arc furnace for purification and waste heat recovery, and also sets a waste heat recovery device on the sedimentation chamber connected to the electric arc furnace, and uses two methods to simultaneously carry out waste heat recovery and purification treatment on the dust and flue gas, maximizing the heat utilization rate and being applicable to production.

[0004] The Chinese patent with the application number 200610088072.1 discloses an electric arc furnace internal exhaust gas cooling waste heat utilization and recovery system and its recovery method.

The heat pipe steam generator is connected to a dust collector, the dust collector is connected to a main fan, and the main fan is connected to an exhaust stack. The internal exhaust gas of the electric arc furnace is discharged, mixed with cold air through a water-cooled sliding sleeve and then enters the combustion sedimentation chamber. The flue gas coming out of the combustion sedimentation chamber enters the heat pipe steam generator directly through a heat preservation flue. The flue gas coming out of the heat pipe steam generator directly enters or is mixed with other flue gases and then enters the dust collector for dust removal, and is then pressed into the exhaust stack by the main fan and discharged into the atmosphere. The present invention can efficiently cool high-temperature flue gas, maximize the recovery of the heat energy in the flue gas, and improve the dust removal ability; it can reduce the system air volume and lower the operation cost; the heat pipe steam generator operates reliably and stably, meeting the requirements of normal production.

The steam is collected by the convex block 507 and the water collecting columns 508 to enhance the liquid condensation effect. A first foam-breaking net 509 is horizontally and fixedly arranged at the bottom of the V-shaped plate 505. The mixture of flue gas and cold water discharged from the spiral tube 401 is mixed with the water mist, so that the harmful substances in the flue gas are mixed with the liquid and separated out from the flue gas. At this time, the mixture moves downward through the V-shaped plate 505 from the mesh plate 506, and is remixed through the blockage of the mesh plate 506, and the first gas-liquid separation is achieved through the first foam-breaking net 509.

[0059] A fixed frame 510 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the treatment furnace 1 between the middle opening of the V-shaped plate 505 and the treatment furnace 1. A second foam-breaking net 511 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the fixed frame 510. The second gas-liquid separation is achieved through the second foam-breaking net 511.

A smoking pipe 513 penetrating the side wall of the treatment furnace 1 is fixedly arranged on the fixed frame 510 behind the third exhaust fan 512, and the separated pure flue gas is discharged outwards from the smoking pipe 513. A water outlet pipe 514 is communicated with the inner bottom end of the post-treatment area 10. The separated liquid containing harmful substances is discharged to the outside from the water outlet pipe 514 for further treatment.

[0060] Usage method of the waste heat recovery system for the electric arc furnace flue gas of the present invention: First, when collecting the flue gas, control the second exhaust fan 309 and the third exhaust fan 512 to work to provide power for the movement of the flue gas. The flue gas is drawn towards the smoke delivery pipe 301 through the horn-shaped smoke collecting hood 2. During this process, control the first exhaust fan 308 to work, so as to draw the flue gas that is not covered by the smoke collecting hood 2 in the air into the smoke collecting hood 2. At the same time, control the motor 306 to work, drive the gear 307 to rotate around the gear ring 304, and then drive the smoke collecting hood 2 to rotate around the rotating cylinder 303 through the support 305, and further draw all the flue gas in the air into the smoke delivery pipe 301 through the first exhaust fan 308. During this process, protect the motor 306 through the sealing cover 310.

[0061] Send the liquid into the interior of the water inlet cavity 406 through the water inlet pipe 409, pump the liquid in the water inlet cavity 406 into the cold water cavity 407 through the first liquid pump 410, and pump the liquid in the cold water cavity 407 into the temperature adjustment cavity 408 through the second liquid pump 411. Real-time monitor the temperatures of the liquid in the cold water cavity 407 and the temperature adjustment cavity 408 through the second temperature sensor 413 and the third temperature sensor 414, so as to draw the liquid in the cold water cavity 407 to an external refrigerator through the exchange pipe 412 to reduce the temperature, and at the same time control the temperature of the cold water in the temperature adjustment cavity 408 according to the signals fed back by the first temperature sensor 402 and the third temperature sensor 414 through the exchange pipe 412, so as to facilitate subsequent waste heat utilization, and at the same time avoid wasting resources through the adjustment of the cold water temperature.

[0062] Control the third liquid pump 417 to work, pump the cold water in the temperature adjustment cavity 408 into the water delivery pipe 415, and spray it from the first spray head 416 onto the spiral pipe 401. Thus, heat exchange is carried out with the spiral pipe 401 to preprocess the heat of the flue gas. At this time, the water vapor generated when the misty water contacts the spiral pipe 401 is discharged through the steam outlet 7, and the condensed water flows out from the drain pipe 403, so that the heat flows to the outside. Control the fourth liquid pump 420 to work, so as to intercept a part of the cold water in the water delivery pipe 415 into the distribution box 418 through the connecting pipe 419. Control the hydraulic and electric control valve 421 to work, so as to send the cold water into the spiral pipe 401 through the first liquid delivery pipe 422, and at the same time send the cold water into the interior of the smoke delivery pipe 301 on one side of the smoke collecting hood 2 through the second liquid delivery pipe 423, so as to send the liquid into the spiral pipe 401 through the smoke delivery pipe 301 with one side high and one side low. Spray water through the first liquid delivery pipe 422 and the second liquid delivery pipe 423 to mix the liquid with the flue gas, lengthen the mixing time, and at the same time clean the interiors of the smoke delivery pipe 301 and the spiral pipe 401 to avoid being corroded by the substances in the flue gas.

[0063] The control hydraulic and electric control valve 421 sends cold water from the third liquid delivery pipe 504 into the interior of the spiral tube 502, so as to spray the cold water towards the bottom end of the partition plate 8 through the third spray head 503, making the upper part of the post-treatment area 10 filled with water mist. The mixture of flue gas and cold water discharged from the spiral tube 401 into the post-treatment area 10 is mixed with the water mist, so that the harmful substances in the flue gas are mixed with the liquid and separated out from the flue gas. At this time, the mixture moves downward from the mesh plate 506 through the V-shaped plate 505, and is mixed again through the blocking of the mesh plate 506, and the first gas-liquid separation is achieved through the first demisting net 509. During this process, the steam is collected by the bump 507 and the water collecting column 508 to enhance the liquid condensation effect. The second gas-liquid separation is achieved through the second demisting net 511, and the purified flue gas after separation is discharged outwards from the smoking pipe 513, and the liquid with harmful substances after separation is discharged to the outside from the water outlet pipe 514 for the next step of treatment.
