Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas calorific value balance adjustment, and in particular to a method for adjusting the calorific value balance of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace gas. Background Art
[0002] The hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace process is a smelting process that uses cold oxygen blast to replace traditional heated air blast. It uses full oxygen blast to remove CO2 from high calorific value coal gas through the decarbonization system to form a higher concentration of purified coal gas, which is sprayed into the tuyere of the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace, and then uses a carbon-reducing and solid fuel-reducing ironmaking process to improve the utilization rate of blast furnace carbon. The decarbonization system refers to the high calorific value coal gas produced by the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace, which passes through the absorption tower in turn to form purified coal gas, and forms the released flash steam in the flash tank.
[0003] The use of gas after CO2 removal for heating furnace is an innovative and unique technology of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace. The decarbonized circulating gas heating device adopts heat storage heating furnace technology. Although the heat storage gas heating furnace of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace has been optimized and improved on the original technology, the burner and internal refractory structure still use the burner and internal refractory structure of the traditional blast furnace. At present, the calorific value of high calorific value gas of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace is 6500-7200kJ / Nm3, which is about 2.3 times the calorific value of 3300kJ / Nm3 of coal gas of traditional blast furnace. Due to the high calorific value of high calorific value gas of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace, the theoretical combustion temperature is higher than the control range of furnace top temperature of 1350℃, which exceeds the design standard of furnace top refractory and has a tendency to burn.
[0004] At the same time, the calorific value of the furnace top gas is high, and the amount of waste gas generated is insufficient. The high-temperature waste gas forms a higher temperature in the furnace top area. The heat transfer in the middle and lower parts of the furnace body is affected by the insufficient amount of waste gas, making the entire temperature gradient unable to meet the uniform heating. The flue temperature is as high as 150°C, forming a "hot top and cold bottom" heating furnace. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a method to adjust the balance of high calorific value gas in the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace, so as to reduce the probability of refractory melting and burning, increase equipment service life, and stabilize production. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for adjusting the calorific value balance of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace gas, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace has a high calorific value, which produces high-temperature exhaust gas accumulation, affects the heat transfer in the middle and lower parts of the heating furnace, and causes temperature imbalance in the heating furnace.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the basic scheme provided by the present invention is: a device for adjusting the calorific value balance of hydrogen-rich carbon-cycle oxygen blast furnace gas, comprising a four-valve group, a flow regulator, a pressure detector, a flow detector and a cut-off device, the gas pipe of the hydrogen-rich carbon-cycle oxygen blast furnace is connected with gas pipe 2, gas pipe 2 is connected with the low calorific value gas pipe of blast furnace 2, the flow regulator, the pressure detector and the flow detector are all connected with gas pipe 2, gas pipe 2 is connected with gas tank 1 and gas pipe 1, gas pipe 1 is connected with the flash steam pipe of the flash tank, the flash steam pipe of the flash tank is connected with gas tank 2, the low calorific value gas pipe of blast furnace 1 is connected with gas pipe 3, the gas pipe of the hydrogen-rich carbon-cycle oxygen blast furnace and gas pipe 3 are connected through the four-valve group, and gas pipe 3 is connected with the flash steam pipe of the flash tank.
[0007] The principle and beneficial effect of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace is dusted, and then the flash steam generated by the flash tank is introduced into the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace, and the low calorific value gas of blast furnace one and blast furnace two is also introduced into the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace, so that the calorific value of the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace is reduced, thereby strengthening the heat transfer in the middle and lower parts of the heating furnace, facilitating the maintenance of the temperature balance in the heating furnace, and reusing the released flash steam, which can reduce resource consumption, while increasing the calorific value of the gas in the low calorific value gas of the blast furnace, thereby increasing the application range of the gas.
[0008] Scheme 2, which is a basic scheme, is a method for adjusting the calorific value balance of hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace gas, characterized in that it includes the following steps:
[0009] S1. Set the calorific value of gas in gas tank 1 and gas tank 2;
[0010] S2. The high calorific value coal gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace is divided into three streams, one stream enters the decarbonization system, one stream enters the gas pipe two, and the last stream enters the gas pipe three through the four-valve group. The low calorific value coal gas of the blast furnace one is mixed into the high calorific value coal gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace through the gas pipe three after dust removal to form a mixed gas at the gas pipe three. A part of the flash steam of the flash tank is mixed into the high calorific value coal gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace through the gas pipe three. The four-valve group, the flow regulator, the pressure detector, the flow detector and the cut-off device adjust the flow of the high calorific value coal gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace entering the gas pipes two and three according to the pressure in the hydrogen-rich carbon cycle oxygen blast furnace.

[0012] S4. The other part of the mixed gas is mixed into the other part of the flash steam in the flash tank through a gas pipe, and the mixed gas is passed into the gas tank 2;
[0013] When in use, first set the commonly used gas calorific value in gas holder one and gas holder two. Since the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace still has a high calorific value after dust removal, the high calorific value gas of the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace is divided into three streams, one stream enters the decarbonization system, one stream enters the gas pipe two, and the last stream enters the gas pipe three through the four-valve group. A part of the flash steam generated by the flash tank and the low calorific value gas generated by the blast furnace one are introduced into the high calorific value gas generated by the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace in sequence after dust removal. The low calorific value gas generated by the blast furnace two and another part of the flash steam generated by the flash tank are mixed in sequence with the high calorific value gas entering the gas pipe two. The calorific value of the high calorific value gas is reduced by mixing with the low calorific value gas, the collection of high-temperature exhaust gas is reduced, the heat transfer of the heating furnace is strengthened, and the temperature balance in the heating furnace is maintained. The released flash steam is reused, which can reduce resource consumption, increase the calorific value of the gas in the low calorific value gas of the blast furnace, and increase the application range of the gas.

In step S2, the high calorific value gas from the hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace has a flow rate of 30,000-70,000 Nm after dust removal. 3 / h, calorific value is 6500-7200KJ / Nm 3 , the flash steam flow rate of the flash tank is 5000-10000Nm 3 / h, calorific value is 1000-2000KJ / Nm 3 The flow rate of low calorific value gas from blast furnace 1 after dust removal is 190,000-260,000 Nm 3 / h, calorific value is 3000-3300KJ / Nm 3 After flash steam and low calorific value gas from blast furnace 1 are mixed with high calorific value gas from hydrogen-rich carbon circulating oxygen blast furnace, the calorific value of the mixed gas is 3500-4000KJ / Nm 3 .
