Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nitrogen oxide emission reduction technology for heating furnaces, specifically relating to a control method for preventing excessive nitrogen oxide emissions in flue gas from the all-oxygen sintering process of steel rolling heating furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the temperature control of heating furnaces commonly used in China mostly employs dual-cross-limiting control technology. A key feature of this control technology is its combustion air adjustment priority strategy, which prioritizes increasing the amount of combustion air during heating and decreasing the amount of fuel gas during cooling, aiming to ensure complete combustion of the input fuel gas.

[0003] With the widespread adoption of oxy-fuel steelmaking technology, the high oxidizing power of pure oxygen has made the problem of excessive nitrogen oxides (NOx) increasingly prominent. Even when natural gas is used as the main heating material, excessive NOx still exists, thus becoming a major problem hindering the production of heating furnaces.

[0004] In addition, analysis of a large amount of actual production process information revealed that although nitrogen (N2) is an inert gas, high-purity oxygen can still generate a large amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) if there are no other combustible gases in the furnace. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a method for controlling excessive nitrogen oxide emissions in the oxy-fuel process of steel rolling furnaces, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes the following steps:

[0019] S6: If the oxygen flow rate is initially increased, wait for Δt2(p) before detecting nitrogen oxides (NOx); if the target deviation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is... a -NOx t If the value is less than the critical value ε, then reduce Δt. 12 If the target deviation (NOx) a -NOx t If ) is greater than 0, then increase Δt. 12 Return to execute S2.

[0020] Furthermore, step S6 is used to generate the optimal time interval Δt. 12optAs given by formula (3), when the temperature rises...

[0021] ε≤minΔ t12 =Δt 12opt (NOx a -NOx t )≤0 (3).

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention addresses the problem of excessive nitrogen oxides (NOx) in all-oxygen sintering furnaces.
