[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] See also Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of a blast furnace hearth slag iron control method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, the method can be executed by a blast furnace hearth slag iron control device, the blast furnace hearth slag iron control device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software, and the blast furnace hearth slag iron control device can be configured in a computer device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] Step 101: Collect production parameters when planning to put raw materials into a blast furnace to smelt steel.

[0033] Raw materials refer to the various substances that go into the blast furnace to smelt steel. These raw materials include iron ore, coke, limestone, etc. Iron ore is the main source of iron, coke is used as a fuel and reducing agent to help iron ore be reduced to iron, and limestone is used to form slag to help remove impurities.

[0034] Blast furnace steelmaking is the process of converting raw materials into liquid iron and slag in a blast furnace. During this process, the iron in the iron ore reacts with the carbon in the coke to form iron, while the limestone reacts with the impurities to form slag. The result of the smelting is pure iron and slag. Blast furnace smelting is a continuous, automated industrial process commonly used in large-scale steel production. The blast furnace refers to this smelting equipment, and its process needs to be precisely controlled to ensure production efficiency and product quality.

[0035] In this embodiment, according to the smelting plan, raw materials are put into a blast furnace to smelt steel, and generation parameters of the blast furnace during steel smelting are collected, and the generation parameters are used to provide data basis for subsequent analysis of the blast furnace slag.

[0036] Exemplarily, the production parameters include the volume of the hearth of the blast furnace, the comprehensive grade of the incoming furnace, the calcium oxide content in the raw materials, the density of iron, the density of slag, the weight of the raw materials and the safe slag iron content of the hearth of the blast furnace.

[0037] The volume of the blast furnace hearth is calculated based on the radius of the blast furnace hearth and the vertical distance from the tuyere to the iron mouth of the blast furnace hearth.

[0038] V stove =πr 2 ·h;

[0039] Where V stove It represents the volume of the blast furnace hearth, and h represents the vertical distance from the tuyere to the iron mouth of the blast furnace hearth.

[0040] The comprehensive grade entering the furnace refers to the proportion of iron in the raw materials, which can be calculated by weighted average based on the iron content of each raw material and the amount of each raw material put into the raw materials. The present invention does not make any restrictions here. The calculation of the calcium oxide (CaO) content in the raw materials can be based on chemical analysis data to determine the content of calcium in the raw materials, and multiply it by the quality factor to obtain the calcium oxide content. The present invention does not make any restrictions here.

[0041] The safe slag iron content of the blast furnace hearth is obtained by dividing the safe molten slag iron volume by the filling factor. The filling factor refers to the ratio of the volume of liquid slag iron in the hearth to the geometric volume of the filled part of the hearth. The safe slag iron content of the blast furnace hearth can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0042]

[0043] Where, T represents the safe slag iron content of the blast furnace hearth, V s represents the safe slag iron volume, and α represents the filling factor.

[0044] The safe slag iron volume can be calculated based on the safety factor, the radius of the blast furnace, and the vertical distance from the blast furnace tuyere to the iron mouth. The safe slag iron volume can be calculated using the following formula:

[0045] V s =β·π·r 2 ·h;

[0046] Where V s represents the safe slag iron volume, β represents the safety factor, r represents the radius of the blast furnace hearth, h represents the vertical distance from the tuyere to the iron mouth of the blast furnace hearth, and μ represents the volume ratio of iron to the safe solution volume.

[0047] The safety factor can be 0.6, which is used to ensure that smelting is carried out without exceeding the volume of the furnace hearth of the blast furnace. The safety factor reserves a certain volume of the blast furnace and avoids the risk caused by excessive solution (molten iron and slag).

[0048] The vertical distance from the tuyere to the iron mouth of the blast furnace refers to the straight-line distance from the center of the tuyere (i.e., blast pipe) of the blast furnace to the center of the iron mouth (i.e., molten metal discharge port) of the blast furnace. This distance is usually important for the design, operation, and thermodynamic optimization of the blast furnace, affecting the distribution of airflow, the balance of temperature in the furnace, and the smelting efficiency.

[0049] Step 102: Calculate the first volume of slag iron theoretically produced in the blast furnace according to the production parameters.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first volume of slag iron theoretically produced in the blast furnace is calculated based on production parameters and raw materials planned to be put into the blast furnace, in order to estimate the theoretical amount of slag iron produced in the blast furnace during the steelmaking process. It helps control the generation and discharge of slag iron in the blast furnace and ensure the smooth progress of the steelmaking process. By understanding the first volume of slag iron that should be produced in theory, it can be compared with the actual situation, abnormalities can be discovered in time, and the safety and efficiency of blast furnace operation can be ensured.

[0051] Specifically, the product of the comprehensive grade of the raw materials entering the furnace and the weight of the raw materials is calculated to obtain the first generated iron amount, and the first generated iron amount is divided by the density of iron to obtain the volume of the first generated iron amount; according to the principle of calcium oxide balance, the calcium oxide content in the raw materials is divided by the proportion of calcium oxide in the slag in the furnace of the blast furnace to obtain the first generated slag amount, and the first generated slag amount is divided by the density of the slag to obtain the volume of the first generated slag amount; the sum of the volume of the first generated iron amount and the volume of the first generated slag amount is taken as the first volume of slag iron theoretically produced in the blast furnace, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the discharge of slag iron during the smelting process.

[0052] Preferably, the calculation formula for the first volume of slag iron can be expressed as:

[0053] T iron =δ·T f ;

[0054]

[0055] V1=V iron +V slag ;

[0056] Where, T iron is the first product iron amount, δ is the comprehensive grade of the furnace, T f is the weight of the raw material, V iron is the volume of the first generated iron, ρ iron is the density of iron, T slag is the first generated slag amount, Cao Tf is the calcium oxide content in the raw materials, γ is the calcium oxide content of the slag in the furnace of the blast furnace, V slag is the volume of the first generated slag, ρ slagis the density of slag, and V1 is the first volume of slag iron.

[0057] Step 103: When the blast furnace has completed smelting steel, measure the second volume of slag iron actually discharged from the blast furnace.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the blast furnace completes steel smelting, the second volume of slag actually discharged from the blast furnace is measured to evaluate the actual slag removal situation in the steel smelting process, so as to facilitate the subsequent comparison of the actual discharge volume with the theoretical generation volume, and to better adjust the smelting parameters and operating conditions to reduce waste and resource loss.

[0059] Specifically, the actual second-generation iron amount and second-generation slag amount of the blast furnace are measured in real time by an electronic scale installed outside the furnace of the blast furnace, and the second-generation iron amount is divided by the density of iron to obtain the second-generation iron volume; the second-generation slag amount is divided by the density of slag to obtain the second-generation slag volume, and the sum of the second-generation iron volume and the second-generation slag volume is used as the second volume of slag iron actually discharged from the blast furnace. The actual amount of slag iron discharged during the steel smelting process and its volume are recorded as a basis for comparison with the theoretical calculation results of slag iron generation, so as to more accurately evaluate and optimize the smelting process and ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process.

[0060] Preferably, the calculation formula of the second volume of slag iron is expressed as:

[0061]

[0062] V2=V iron2 +V slag2 ;

[0063] Where, T iron2 is the amount of second generation iron, V iron2 is the volume of the second generated iron, ρ iron is the density of iron, T slag2 is the amount of second generation slag, V slag2 is the volume of the second generated slag, ρ slag is the density of slag, and V2 is the second volume of slag iron.

[0064] Optionally, the second volume of the slag iron may also be solved according to a calculation formula for the safe slag iron content of the hearth of the blast furnace to obtain the second volume of the slag iron.

[0065] Step 104: Calculate the height of the remaining slag in the furnace of the blast furnace according to the difference between the first volume and the second volume.

[0066] In this embodiment, by calculating the difference between the first volume (theoretically generated slag volume) and the second volume (actually discharged slag volume), the height of the remaining slag in the blast furnace hearth is estimated, and the actual accumulation of slag in the hearth can be monitored in real time to ensure the stability and efficiency of the smelting process, and to promptly detect whether there is excessive slag accumulation or other abnormal conditions, thereby providing a basis for adjusting operating parameters and optimizing the production process, improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0067] Specifically, the difference between the first volume and the second volume is used as the third volume of the remaining slag in the hearth of the blast furnace, and the height of the remaining slag in the hearth of the blast furnace is calculated based on the third volume and the volume of the hearth of the blast furnace. The third volume is divided by the square of the radius of the hearth of the blast furnace and π to obtain the height of the remaining slag in the hearth of the blast furnace. The approximate number of times raw materials are added to smelt steel can be estimated based on the height of the remaining slag in the hearth of the blast furnace, and the accumulation of the remaining slag inside the blast furnace can be estimated based on the number of times. The trend of the remaining slag can be simulated in real time to determine whether the slag is close to the safety line of the blast furnace, which is convenient for subsequent protection of the blast furnace and ensures the stability and safety of the smelting process.

[0068] Preferably, the calculation formula for the height of the remaining slag can be expressed as:

[0069] V3 = V1 - V2;

[0070]

[0071] Wherein, V3 is the third volume of the remaining slag, V1 is the first volume, V2 is the second volume, h3 is the height of the remaining slag, and r is the radius of the furnace of the blast furnace.

[0072] Step 105: Control the blast furnace according to the remaining slag and the height.

[0073] In this embodiment, the residual slag is a byproduct. If the residual slag accumulates too much, it will lead to insufficient space in the blast furnace hearth, thereby affecting the efficiency and safety of smelting steel in the blast furnace. Excessive accumulation of residual slag will increase the pressure of the blast furnace hearth and may even cause overheating or damage to the blast furnace hearth. By monitoring the height of the residual slag in the blast furnace, the operation of the blast furnace can be accurately controlled to prevent excessive accumulation of residual slag during the blast furnace smelting process.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 105 may include the following steps:

[0075] Step 1051: If the height of the remaining slag is greater than or equal to the warning height set for the blast furnace, the blast furnace performs blast furnace protection operations.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the height of the remaining slag is greater than or equal to the set warning height, it indicates that the accumulation of remaining slag in the blast furnace has approached the critical value, which may affect the normal operation of the blast furnace. If no measures are taken, it may cause problems such as overload of the blast furnace hearth, uncontrolled temperature in the furnace, and slag blockage, which will cause safety hazards and even cause the blast furnace to stop production. Therefore, performing blast furnace protection operations is to intervene in time when a danger signal appears, take corresponding measures to prevent the blast furnace from entering a dangerous state.

[0077] Exemplarily, the warning height includes a first-level height and a second-level height, and the first-level height is lower than the second-level height. By setting the first-level height and the second-level height, different operating measures can be taken when the accumulation of residual slag reaches different levels. This hierarchical management method helps to discover potential problems earlier and take timely actions, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by excessive accumulation of residual slag.

[0078] If the height of the remaining slag is greater than or equal to the first level, a reminder operation is performed on the blast furnace. The first level is a lower warning level, indicating that the accumulation of remaining slag has begun to approach the safe operating limit of the blast furnace. When the remaining slag accumulation reaches this height, although it has not yet reached a serious dangerous state, it has already caused enough attention, so a reminder operation is performed to warn the operator and prepare in advance.

[0079] If the height of the remaining slag is greater than or equal to the second level, the discharge speed of the remaining slag is accelerated and / or the lowering speed of the raw materials is slowed down. When the remaining slag accumulates to the second level, it means that the remaining slag has approached or exceeded the safety limit of the blast furnace, and more urgent and direct measures must be taken, such as accelerating the discharge of slag or slowing down the speed of lowering raw materials, which can effectively prevent damage to the blast furnace and accidents caused by excessive remaining slag.

[0080] For example, Figure 2 The figure shows the schematic diagram of slag and molten iron in the blast furnace hearth. Figure 2 It includes two tuyere, one iron mouth, the lower edge position of the tuyere, the slag interface and the molten iron interface. The slag interface is marked in orange and the molten iron interface is marked in red.

[0081] The tuyere of a blast furnace refers to the opening at the bottom of the blast furnace hearth for letting in air (or oxygen-enriched air). Through the tuyere, the blower sends air into the blast furnace to provide the oxygen required for blast furnace combustion. The high-temperature air reacts with the carbon in the charge to produce carbon monoxide, which participates in the reduction reaction in the furnace and helps reduce the iron oxide in the raw materials to iron. In addition, the tuyere also plays an important role in regulating the temperature, airflow and smelting reaction in the blast furnace.

[0082] The taphole is the opening at the bottom of the blast furnace for discharging molten iron and slag. Through the taphole, the molten iron and slag in the blast furnace can be discharged regularly to ensure the normal flow of slag and iron in the furnace and the safe operation of the blast furnace. The taphole opening and closing control and the adjustment of the discharge speed affect the production efficiency and smelting effect of the blast furnace. It is usually necessary to operate at the right time to ensure the reasonable separation of molten iron and slag and the stable operation of the blast furnace.

[0083] The lower edge position of the tuyere is used to calibrate the first-level height and the second-level height. The first-level height is the vertical distance from the slag liquid surface to the tuyere of 1 meter, and the second-level height is the vertical distance from the slag liquid surface to the tuyere of 0.5 meter. Each time the raw materials are added according to the plan, the slag surface in the blast furnace hearth automatically rises by one height. When the iron is discharged, the first-level height and the second-level height can be automatically adjusted in real time according to the slag flow, or they can be adjusted manually by calculation to enhance the safety of the steel smelting process.

[0084] The purpose of color classification is to distinguish the slag and iron liquid levels. In actual production, the slag floats on the surface and the molten iron is below the slag.

[0085] Step 1052: If the remaining slag is greater than or equal to the safe slag content of the hearth of the blast furnace, the discharge speed of the remaining slag is accelerated and / or the lowering speed of the raw materials is slowed down.

[0086] In this embodiment, if the height of the remaining slag reaches or exceeds the safe slag content of the blast furnace hearth, it means that the slag in the furnace has approached or exceeded its safe load limit, which may pose a threat to the operation of the blast furnace. Therefore, the discharge rate of the remaining slag can be accelerated, the excess slag can be discharged faster, and the accumulation of slag in the hearth can be reduced, thereby preventing problems such as overload and blockage caused by excessive remaining slag, and maintaining the normal load of the blast furnace; the lowering speed of the raw materials can also be slowed down, by reducing the addition of new raw materials, reducing the slag generation rate during the smelting process, and avoiding further increasing the burden of the remaining slag in the blast furnace.

[0087] In order to make the present embodiment more understandable, the blast furnace hearth slag and iron control method in the present embodiment is described below by using specific examples.

[0088] At 2500m 3 Taking the blast furnace as an example, the comprehensive grade of the blast furnace in actual production is set to 58%, and the weight of the raw materials is T f is 72t / ch, the density of molten iron is iron Take 7.0t / m 3 , the density of slag ρ slag Take 2.6t / m 3 , the first generated iron content T iron =δ·T f =58%×72=41.76t. The volume of the first generated iron According to Cao's balance principle, the first generated slag amount T slag , the actual calcium oxide content in the raw material is Cao Tf The calcium oxide content of slag in the furnace of the blast furnace is γ40%, and the first generation slag volume is The volume of the first generated slag

[0089] Given that the radius r of the blast furnace is 5.6 m, the vertical distance h from the furnace tuyere to the iron mouth is 3.6 m, the safety factor β is 0.6, and the filling factor α is 0.33, calculate the safe slag iron volume V s =β·π·r 2 h = 3.14 × 5.6 2 ×3.6×0.6=212.3m 3 Calculate the safe slag iron content of the blast furnace hearth

[0090] The theoretical first volume of iron produced is calculated by the raw materials input per unit time, and the actual second volume of slag iron discharged from the blast furnace is compared to calculate the difference in slag iron volume, and determine the position of the slag iron liquid level in the blast furnace. Assuming that the raw materials input per hour is 7 batches / hour, the theoretical first volume per hour V1=V iron +V slag =(5.96+5.45)×7=79.87m 3 For example, the blast furnace discharges 150 tons of slag per hour, and the second volume V2 occupied is 150×0.33=49.5m 3 The volume of the remaining slag in the hearth of the real-time blast furnace V3 = first volume V1 - second volume V2 = 79.87 - 49.5 = 30.37 m 3

[0091] As the raw materials are added every hour, the slag iron level in the furnace will automatically rise to a certain height. It shows that the slag iron production in the blast furnace is affected by the removal of slag iron, and the slag iron liquid level in the furnace hearth rises by 0.31m per hour.

[0092] The color of the molten iron and slag at the interface of the computer model slag iron can be distinguished. Red indicates molten iron, and orange indicates slag. The molten iron (red) is at the bottom, and the slag orange is at the top. The layers are clear and cannot be mixed. The slag iron line at this interface shows an upward trend. The height of the blast furnace hearth is divided into proportional steps, with 0.1m as a scale, and the shape and outline of the hearth are drawn. The position of the lower edge of the tuyere is marked in proportion. The position of the lower edge of the tuyere should be marked with a special color. This is the warning line for the remaining slag iron in the hearth of the blast furnace.

[0093] The first level height and the second level height are marked on the lower edge of the tuyere, and according to the actual slag discharge situation in the blast furnace hearth, the operator is reminded to speed up the discharge of the remaining slag and / or slow down the lowering speed of the raw materials.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, the production parameters when the raw materials are put into the blast furnace for smelting steel are collected, the first volume of the theoretical slag iron produced in the blast furnace is calculated according to the production parameters, when the blast furnace completes smelting steel, the second volume of the slag iron actually discharged from the blast furnace is measured, the height of the remaining slag iron in the furnace of the blast furnace is calculated according to the difference between the first volume and the second volume, and the blast furnace is controlled according to the remaining slag iron and the height. By collecting various production parameters in the process of raw materials being put into the blast furnace for smelting steel, and calculating the first volume of the theoretical slag iron based on these parameters, and then combining the second volume of the slag iron actually discharged after the smelting of the blast furnace, and comparing the difference between the two to infer the height of the remaining slag iron in the furnace, the accuracy of detecting the height of the remaining slag iron in the furnace of the blast furnace is improved, based on this height data, the operation process of the blast furnace can be adjusted and optimized in real time, and the excessive accumulation of slag iron can be prevented from having a negative impact on the internal operation of the blast furnace, which helps to avoid the risks caused by excessive load or operational errors, and improves the safety of smelting steel in the blast furnace.
