Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for filling open-furnace sleepers for a giant blast furnace. Background Art
[0002] Before a newly built blast furnace is started, the entire furnace must be loaded. First, the furnace needs to be loaded. Generally, bottom coke is added to the bottom of the furnace, and then sleepers are filled on the bottom coke. Sleepers have a low ignition point and are easy to ignite. In addition, sleepers have the advantage of extremely low ash content. After being ignited, the sleepers can quickly heat the coke on them, thereby achieving rapid furnace start-up and effectively reducing the [Si] content in molten iron and improving the initial iron fluidity. However, if there are no relevant constraints on the arrangement and loading methods of sleepers, it is easy to have a low furnace filling rate, difficulty in quickly forming the central airflow, and even rapid collapse of the sleepers after ignition, resulting in poor upper preheating, rapid drop of materials to the furnace, insufficient furnace temperature, and poor fluidity of the generated slag iron, which will make it difficult to tap the first iron and interfere with subsequent strengthening. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for filling sleepers for a giant blast furnace, which is used to solve the problems of low sleeper filling rate, uneven drop of upper materials, easy damage of tuyere and difficulty in ensuring initial iron fluidity that are easy to occur during the furnace opening process.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] The present invention discloses a method for filling sleepers for a giant blast furnace, comprising:
[0006] Working conditions: The temperature in the blast furnace drops below 40℃, the gas composition in the furnace is tested and ready for entry, the furnace top equipment test run is stopped, the large manhole on the furnace top is opened and supervised by a dedicated person, the nitrogen of the furnace top distributor, the nitrogen of the camera, and the nitrogen of the probe are all stopped, the furnace top venting is opened, and the air supply branch pipe is equipped with a blind plate;
[0007] Control of the amount of bottom coke: Use coke to lay the bottom, and ensure that the thickness of the furnace bottom is controlled within 600-1000mm;
[0008] Control of bottom coke particle size: use normal particle size coke or small particle size coke <25mm;
[0009] Requirements for laying bottom coke: After loading the bottom coke from the furnace top, it should be leveled manually to prevent the top surface of the coke from being uneven and to prevent the sleepers from falling unevenly in the circumferential direction;
[0010] Selection of sleeper materials: Rotten wood cannot be used for processing, oil-free wood is required, and it must be air-dried vertically before leaving the factory. The average density after natural drying must be 780-820Kg / m3;
[0011] Selection of sleeper size: long sleeper: 2.5m long × 0.2m wide × 0.16m high; short sleeper: (0.8-1.0)m long × 0.2m wide × 0.16m high;
[0012] The number of sleepers to be selected: determined by the filling area of the furnace;
[0013] Sleeper shape control: No positive tolerance is allowed in the dimensions;
[0014] Loading and stacking of sleepers: sleepers are loaded from the tuyere in bulk, which can greatly save time. Short sleepers are used to fill the furnace body. Smaller size can improve the filling rate of the furnace. When the distance from the center line of the tuyere is 600mm, they are no longer loaded in bulk. Sleepers are laid closely in the same direction to ensure that the gap between sleepers in the same direction is less than 30mm. Three layers of short sleepers are laid closely.
[0015] Tuyere protection: Long sleepers are stacked close to the furnace wall in front of the tuyere to protect the tuyere, and nails are used to fix the long sleepers;
[0016] Center pile tip: Use long and short sleepers to build a conical center pile tip with a diameter of 3m and a height of 2.5m; requirements: the center of the bottom surface of the pile tip coincides with the center point of the furnace, and all the sleepers used to construct the outside of the cone are fixed with nails.
[0017] Furthermore, the sleepers are made of hard wood that matures quickly and is inexpensive.
[0018] Furthermore, the sleeper material is coconut wood.
[0019] Furthermore, the sleeper filling volume V is the volume of the furnace below the center line of the tuyere excluding the bottom coke.
[0020] Furthermore, each tuyere is protected by 6 long sleepers, which are arranged in one layer and fastened to each other with nails.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:
[0022] The present invention controls the amount and particle size of the bottom coke, matches the material, shape, and filling method of the sleepers, the protection method of the tuyere area, and the requirements of the center pile tip shape, so that the mechanical protection of the tuyere area can be achieved, the upper material can be fully heated, the material can descend slowly and evenly, the furnace hearth can be fully heated, the liquid slag iron has good fluidity, the first iron can ensure appropriate fluidity, and the slag iron can be separated smoothly.
