TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of detection, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating the smelting performance of metallurgical coke by using a powder coke rate. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metallurgical coke is a core raw material for the production of the pillar industry of the national economy, i.e., the steel industry, and is irreplaceable, playing an important role in guaranteeing and supporting the development of the steel industry. Metallurgical coke is a heat source, a reducing agent, a column skeleton and a permeation agent for blast furnace smelting production, and is also the most important means for adjusting the process of blast furnace production. In recent years, with the development and progress of blast furnace smelting technology, especially the rapid development of large-scale blast furnaces, high blast temperature technology and blast oxygen-enriched coal injection technology, coke, as the skeleton of the column in the blast furnace, plays a more prominent role in ensuring the air and liquid permeation in the blast furnace. The quality of metallurgical coke has a great influence on the modern blast furnace smelting process, and becomes a key factor for limiting the stable, balanced, high-quality and efficient production of molten iron in the blast furnace.
[0003] The smelting performance of metallurgical coke is an important technical quality index of metallurgical coke, and is generally represented by reactivity (CRI) and post-reaction strength (CSR). However, the post-reaction strength (CSR) index is a single index under the condition of a specified temperature (1100 DEG C) and a specified reaction gas concentration, and can better represent the smelting performance of coke from one aspect. However, due to the complexity of coke and the complexity of the use process in the blast furnace, the smelting performance of metallurgical coke cannot be comprehensively evaluated. In addition, the detection process of coke reactivity and post-reaction strength is long, time-consuming and complicated, and therefore, many innovative detections are carried out after the detection. It is of great significance for further understanding the smelting performance of metallurgical coke and revealing the inherent quality of coke. At present, the coke detected after the reaction is only calculated according to the standard, and the percentage of coke greater than 10 mm in the post-reaction coke is taken as the detection index of post-reaction strength (CSR). There is no further processing and research of the sample in the detection process, which is not conducive to the in-depth study of coke, and is a missed opportunity for further studying the smelting performance of coke, especially the melting capacity. At the same time, it is also a waste of the detection process and resources. SUMMARY

[0040] Step 4, analyze the numerical values of each characterization parameter in step 3;
[0041] Further, the data analysis should be fully combined with principle 3, and the present patent is to describe the melting capacity of coke in the blast furnace through the new characterization parameters after reaction, so as to provide new parameter support for the blast furnace adaptability coke;

[0046] The present application provides a technical scheme for scientifically and effectively evaluating the smelting performance of metallurgical coke, which is a new technical parameter for innovative characterization of a conventional detection process, solves the technical problems of difficult effective evaluation of the smelting loss process of metallurgical coke and the “black box” of metallurgical coke in a blast furnace, and is a new evaluation system method for the use process of metallurgical coke, which can more scientifically understand metallurgical coke, especially the intuitive parameter characterization of the smelting loss process of metallurgical coke in a blast furnace, and provides a systematic method for understanding metallurgical coke, a cognitive method for different volume blast furnaces using differentiated coke, and important and practical significance for the stable operation and economic index improvement of a blast furnace, and good guiding significance for scientific coal blending, optimization of the technical structure of coal blending, and reduction of the cost of coal blending coking, thereby generating huge economic benefits and good social benefits.
[0047] In order to better illustrate the present patent technology, the metallurgical coke produced by a coking plant of a certain steel joint enterprise is evaluated in terms of the post-reaction strength microstructure performance and the powder coke rate.
[0048] The metallurgical coke production of the steel joint enterprise is 7-meter top-charged coke oven production. The coal blending structure is shown in Table 1.
[0049] Table 1 Coal blending structure
[0050]
[0051] The test sample is comprehensively analyzed and detected, and the parameters such as coke porosity, pore wall thickness, and coke microstructure are detected. The detection values are shown in Table 2.
[0052] Table 2 Sample detection values
[0053]
[0054] According to the national detection technical standard GB / T4000 “Detection method for reactivity and post-reaction strength of metallurgical coke”, the research coke to be analyzed and studied is detected and analyzed. After the thermal reactivity of the coke is discharged from the drum, the original detection method is increased to nine levels of sieve screening of the reaction product by using 18 mm, 15 mm, 10 mm, 8 mm, 5 mm, 3 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm, and 0.2 mm sieves, respectively, and the percentage mass of each particle size is calculated. The detection data limit is shown in Table 3.
[0055] Table 3 Detection mass percentage of reaction product screened by nine levels of sieves
[0056]
[0057] Through the data analysis of the above table, after the coke thermal performance detection and multi-stage screen screening, the reaction coke of 3mm or more accounts for 71.04% of the total amount of the reaction coke, the reaction coke of 1mm or less accounts for 26.16% of the total amount of the reaction coke, and the reaction coke of 0.2mm or less accounts for 16% of the total amount of the reaction coke. The analysis of the thermal reaction coke screening composition can clearly determine the melting loss of the coke in the state of carbon dioxide. The higher the pulverization rate of the coke, the more intense the melting loss reaction of the coke, which indicates that the ability of the coke to resist carbon dioxide is poor, and the quality performance of the coke is not good.
[0058] Analyzing the data of each stage of the coke after the thermal reaction, the melting loss reaction of the coke in the blast furnace directly represents the metallurgical coke that is continuously melted and lost, and the coke particle size gradually becomes smaller and more fragmented due to gas erosion, and the coke fines increase. Corresponding to the present application, the coke of less than 3mm after the reaction increases, so that the melting ability of the metallurgical coke in the blast furnace can be represented by this index, thereby providing new parameter support for the blast furnace adaptability coke.
[0059] The pore rate, pore wall and microstructure of the coke of 3mm or more after the reaction are detected, and the detection values are shown in Table 4.
[0060] Table 4 Pore analysis values of the coke of 3mm or more after the reaction
[0061]
[0062] The open pores and closed pores are formed when the gas is precipitated. The former is the gas that is decomposed in the coking process and is precipitated through the channel, so it is connected with the outside world. The latter is formed because the decomposed gas is blocked by the surrounding colloid and cannot be precipitated. Most of the coke (more than 90%) is open pores, and the rest is closed pores. The open pores directly affect the carbon dissolution reaction of the coke, and then affect the strength. The closed pores affect the matrix structure of the coke. In the carbon dissolution reaction process, the open pores continuously merge and grow, which may make the closed pores penetrate, affecting the reactivity of the coke. From the data analysis in Table 4, the pore rate of the coke after the reaction increases, the pore wall becomes thinner, and the average diameter of the pores increases, which all represent that the coke is melting, and the internal structure of the coke is changing deeply.
[0063] The coke smelting performance comprehensive evaluation method system is formed by the above implementation process of the patent, which guides the stable operation of the blast furnace.
[0064] The above-described embodiments only describe the preferred modes of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements of the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
