Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy and relates to a method for discharging slag and iron from a single taphole of an iron-making blast furnace. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure the stability of production, modern iron-making blast furnaces are basically equipped with more than two tapholes. This is because when the iron outlet ditch of one taphole needs to be repaired or relined, at least one taphole can be used normally, thereby maintaining the normal production of the blast furnace. Considering production demand, investment cost, construction time, site size and other factors, most small blast furnaces are currently equipped with only two tapholes. However, for the existing 1080m 3 It is just a small blast furnace. Usually, only two tapholes can tap iron alternately without interval to give full play to the production potential of this type of blast furnace, so that the daily iron output of the blast furnace can reach more than 4,000 tons. If any of the tapholes is closed for maintenance, it will greatly limit the production capacity of the blast furnace, resulting in a significant reduction in iron output and frequent fluctuations in furnace conditions. So, when only one taphole is available, how can the iron output of the blast furnace be maximized? Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a method for discharging slag from a single taphole of an ironmaking blast furnace, which can effectively maintain the single taphole system in a relatively short time to ensure long-term, high-load and stable operation of the blast furnace.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention: A method for discharging slag from a single taphole of an ironmaking blast furnace comprises the following steps: 1) Confirmation of equipment and facilities: Check that the opening machine, mud gun machine, swinging spout, iron outlet ditch, mud sleeve and taphole mud are in place and function normally.
[0005] 2) Opening the iron mouth: The opening machine uses a 45mm drill bit to open the hole. The iron mouth depth should be maintained at 2.8~3.0m as much as possible, and the mud volume should be 1.8~2.0 grids, subject to the iron mouth being free from moisture. In the process of opening the hole, if the furnace is blocked by coke, the hole should be blocked immediately and the blasting should be withdrawn. The opening machine uses a 50mm drill bit to open the hole to 1.5m, and then uses a 45mm drill bit to open the hole.
[0006] 3) Iron tapping: The iron tapping time is strictly controlled within 70 to 90 minutes to ensure that the slag and iron in the furnace are discharged cleanly.
[0007] 4) Blocking the taphole: Check the daily maintenance plan for single taphole production equipment, and complete the inspection of the taphole opening machine, mud gun machine, swing spout, and hydraulic valve station 5 minutes before taphole opening.
[0008] Beneficial effects of the invention: The invention proposes a method for discharging slag from a single ironmouth of an iron-making blast furnace. Under the condition that only one ironmouth is available, the goal of producing 4,000 tons of iron per day from a single ironmouth is achieved through a standardized production operation system and equipment maintenance system, which not only maintains the iron output of the blast furnace, but also ensures a stable furnace condition.
