Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to blast furnace slag, and in particular to a method for quantitatively characterizing slag stability based on blast furnace slag viscosity. Background Art

[0002] Blast furnace slag is an important by-product of the iron-making industry. The main components of blast furnace slag are oxides, with the highest content of SiO2, CaO, Al2O3 and MgO. The cost of blast furnace ironmaking accounts for half of the cost of the entire steel industry. Therefore, if enterprises want to improve their economic benefits, they must reduce the cost of blast furnaces. The main raw materials for steel production are iron ore and coke, but as the price of high-grade ore continues to rise, enterprises will inevitably tend to use cheap low-grade iron ore, thereby saving the cost of raw materials and improving their competitiveness. However, a large amount of low-grade iron ore will affect the smooth operation of blast furnaces.

[0003] At present, large and medium-sized domestic steel companies have been using a large amount of imported ores and low-grade self-produced ores, and the fluidity of slag has been affected to varying degrees. Changes in slag composition cause the viscosity of slag to increase and the fluidity to deteriorate. Especially when the furnace temperature is insufficient, its fluidity drops sharply, not only deteriorating the smooth flow, but also making it difficult to discharge slag and iron. The unstable blast furnace condition leads to large changes in slag fluidity when the slag composition and temperature fluctuate, that is, the slag stability changes significantly. However, there is currently no unified evaluation standard for slag stability in the industry.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a targeted slag stability evaluation method to quantitatively evaluate the stability of blast furnace slag and then regulate blast furnace operations. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: In view of the shortcomings and defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for quantitative characterization of slag stability based on blast furnace slag viscosity. Based on the slag viscosity and on the basis of slag fluidity, a quantitative evaluation method for blast furnace slag stability is proposed, which quantifies the effects of viscosity changes and temperature fluctuations on blast furnace slag stability, and provides a theoretical basis for blast furnace smelting control technology.

[0006] Technical solution: A quantitative characterization method for slag stability based on blast furnace slag viscosity of the present invention is characterized by: based on the on-site slag composition and production temperature of different furnaces of an actual blast furnace under the same raw material and fuel conditions, a high-temperature viscosity test is performed on the slag to obtain a series of slag viscosities at different temperatures; the corresponding slag melting temperature and the corresponding viscosity are obtained by making a 135° tangent to the viscosity-temperature curve; the corresponding viscosity is obtained on the viscosity curve according to the actual production slag temperature obtained, the change in slag viscosity in the temperature range from the melting temperature to the actual slag temperature is calculated, and the average value of the rate of change of viscosity of slag from different furnaces in the high temperature section with temperature change is taken to characterize the thermal stability of slag in the high temperature section of blast furnace slag.

[0007] Among them, the actual slag temperature on site and theoretical calculations are combined to evaluate the slag stability and then control the blast furnace operation, adjust the raw material fuel ratio and reduce costs.

[0009] 1) Take on-site slag samples from different batches of blast furnaces under the same raw fuel conditions;

[0010] 2) Obtain the actual slag temperature T A ;

[0012] 4) Draw a 135° tangent line to the curve to obtain the melting temperature T of the slag of this furnace M And the corresponding viscosity η M ;

[0013] 5) Take the actual slag T on the viscosity-temperature curve A Corresponding viscosity η A ;

[0014] 6) Calculate the slag stability index of the furnace

[0015] 7) Calculate the stability index of the blast furnace slag under the same raw fuel conditions

[0016] Wherein, in the step 1), on-site slag samples of different batches of blast furnaces under the same raw fuel conditions are taken, specifically blast furnace slag of different batches of the same blast furnace under the same raw fuel conditions.

[0017] Wherein, in the step 2), the actual slag temperature T A It is the slag temperature detected on-site in the blast furnace during slag tapping.

[0018] Wherein, in the step 6), in the slag stability index Si, i refers to the i-th heat.

[0019] Wherein, in the step 7), in the slag stability index Si, i refers to the i-th heat; and n refers to the slag from n heats in total.

[0020] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: Based on slag viscosity and slag fluidity, the present invention proposes a stability quantitative evaluation method suitable for blast furnace slag, quantifies the effects of viscosity change and temperature fluctuation on blast furnace slag stability, and provides a theoretical basis for blast furnace smelting control technology. The present invention considers the change of slag viscosity with temperature in the high temperature section, defines a stability index, and thus quantitatively characterizes the stability of blast furnace slag.
