Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a coke oven coal blending method based on the heat recovery function of coking coal, belonging to the technical field of coking coal blending. Background Art

[0002] China's heat recovery coke oven technology adopts the process of ramming thick coal cakes, heating from top to bottom, long coking cycle, and negative pressure operation throughout the process. All the raw coal gas produced during the coking process is burned in the furnace, and the high-temperature exhaust gas generated is used to generate steam for power generation or external steam supply through waste heat recovery. The exhaust gas is discharged after desulfurization and denitrification treatment and meets the emission standards. The red-hot coke uses the dry quenching process to cool the coke while generating steam and connecting it to the grid with the above-mentioned high-temperature exhaust gas waste heat recovery steam. No process wastewater is generated during the entire production process, which is an environmentally friendly coking process. Since there is an arched space above the rammed coal cakes in the heat recovery coke oven, the raw coal gas is initially burned and heated in the arched space for coking, and the coal cakes can expand freely upward. Therefore, the expansion pressure of the mixed coal will not affect the side furnace wall and coke pushing, and coal with large expansion and high expansion pressure can be added to the coal blending. In addition, due to the use of the ramming process, low-bonding or non-bonding coal can be added in a high proportion in the coal blending. Since the coal distribution structure and production process of heat recovery coke ovens are different from those of conventional top-loading coke ovens and ramming coke ovens, the quality of the coke produced is also significantly different from that of conventional top-loading coke ovens and ramming coke ovens. Specifically, it has high cold strength, wide fluctuation range of thermal performance, low porosity, high apparent density, and high bulk density. The behavior of heat recovery coke oven coke in the blast furnace is also different from that of conventional top-loading coke ovens and ramming coke ovens, which is manifested in poor blast furnace permeability, inactive furnace hearth, small tuyere whirlpool zone, slow combustion speed, slow re-airing after blast furnace shutdown, and other problems, which seriously affect the smooth operation of the blast furnace and efficient and low-cost operation.

[0003] Heat recovery coke ovens have the advantages of low environmental impact and the ability to use weakly viscous or non-viscous coal in a larger proportion, and have been developed to a certain extent in China and other countries. At present, the output of coke from heat recovery coke ovens accounts for only 2.5% of China's coke output, which is a very low proportion. Although the traditional quality indicators of the obtained coke can meet the requirements of blast furnaces, blast furnace smelting problems frequently occur. Therefore, heat recovery coke oven coke is now mostly used as coke for blast furnace smelting. The present invention targets the needs of blast furnace smelting, and achieves coke quality control by adjusting the coal blending structure and the coke oven process indicators to meet the requirements of blast furnace smelting for coke quality. Summary of the invention

[0025] As one of the preferred technical solutions, in step S3, the mass proportion of the pre-crushed particles with a fineness of less than 3 mm is greater than 60-80%.

[0026] As one of the preferred technical solutions, in step S4, preparing coal includes:

[0033] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0034] The invention provides a method for heat recovery coke oven blending based on the function of coking coal, comprising the following steps: classifying each coking coal according to the function of the coking coal in the coking coal blending and the coking process; classifying each coking coal into: a first type of coking coal (HPR) for regulating porosity and improving reactivity, a second type of coking coal (FW) for providing skeleton function, a third type of coking coal (CP) for providing cohesiveness, a fourth type of coking coal (HF) for providing high fluidity and cohesiveness with high inertia capacity, a fifth type of low volatile coal (LRV) for reducing reactivity, and a sixth type of low ash and low Sulfur high volatile coal (LSHV); pre-crush the first type coking coal (HPR), the fifth type coking coal (LRV) and the sixth type coking coal (LSHV) respectively, and then mix them with other coking coals to make the G value of the mixed coal 58-78, the Y value 11-16mm, and the volatile matter Vdaf 22%-27%; then crush (mix) according to the heat recovery coke oven process, and the proportion of crushing fineness <3mm is 90-95%, and then ramming, the ramming density is 0.95-1.15 tons / cubic meter, and finally loaded into the furnace for coking production.

At the same time, the quality of coke can also be accurately controlled according to the needs of blast furnaces, meeting the high-efficiency and low-cost production requirements of blast furnaces. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that the following description is only for explaining the present invention and does not limit its contents.

[0045] The coke screening and cold strength test described in step C refers to screening the coke into >80mm, 80-60mm, 60-40mm, 40-25mm, and <25mm, and then measuring the cold mechanical strength of the coke according to the national standard "Method for Determination of Mechanical Strength of Coke" GB / T2000-2008, and obtaining the M40 and M10 indicators.

[0046] The hot strength test of coke described in step D is to measure the hot strength of coke according to the "Test Method for Reactivity and Post-Reaction Strength of Coke" GB / T4000-2008, and obtain the CRI and CSR indicators.

[0047] E. Coking coal is divided into six categories according to the following classification standards:

[0048] The first type of coking coal (HPR) has volatile matter Vdaf>28%, 85>G>35, and CRI>28%.

[0049] The second type of coking coal (FW): volatile matter Vdaf <28%, G>75, 15 <mmY<22mm,CSR> 65%.

[0050] The third type of coking coal (CP) has the following characteristics: volatile matter Vdaf>20%, G>85, Y>22mm, αmax>1500dd / min.

[0059] I. Load the mixed coal in the coal tower into the coal trough of the tamping machine, and then unload the material for tamping.

[0060] J. Push the compacted coal cakes into the empty carbonization chamber for carbonization.

[0061] K. Push the coke cake out of the carbonization chamber.

[0062] L. Send the coke into the dry quenching furnace for quenching.

[0063] M. Screen the coke discharged from the dry quenching furnace.

[0064] The coal quality analysis indicators of the mixed coal types are shown in Table 1.

[0065] Table 1. Coal quality analysis indicators of coal types

[0066]

[0067] Note: The fifth category (LRV) and sixth category LSHV coal in the table have low cohesiveness and αmax cannot be measured. Since they cannot be coked alone, the M40, M10, CRI and CSR indicators of coke cannot be measured.

[0068] The coal blending ratios and quality indicators of Examples 1 to 4 are shown in Tables 2 and 3. In Example 1, a high-density tamping method is adopted, and the three layers are tamped 2 to 3 times, and the tamping density is 1.00-1.15 tons / cubic meter, which improves the cold strength of coke, reduces the porosity, and improves the bulk density; Examples 2 to 4 adopt a low-density tamping method, with the first layer tamped 2 times, the second layer tamped 1-2 times, and the third tamping 1 time, and the tamping density is 0.95-0.99 tons / cubic meter, which improves the coke porosity, reduces the bulk density and the cold strength of coke.

[0074] The coke quality indicators of Examples 1 to 4 are shown in Table 4.

[0075] Table 4. Coke quality indexes of Examples 1 to 4

[0076]

[0077] As shown in Table 4, the coking coal blending method based on the function of coking coal in the coking process of heat recovery coke oven combined with the coking process parameter tamping density to control the coke quality can effectively control the coke quality. The coke M40, M10, CRI and CSR obtained in Examples 1 to 4 all reach the first-class metallurgical coke quality index. The microscopic strength and apparent porosity of the coke matrix in Examples 2 to 4 are significantly improved, and the dry basis bulk density is reduced. It can be seen from the coke quality indexes obtained in Examples 1 to 4 that the method of the present invention can adjust the coal blending structure to a large extent to make full use of coal resources to produce coke with qualified quality indexes; at the same time, the coke quality indexes of Examples 2 to 4 obtained by adjusting the coal blending structure and tamping process parameters can better meet the blast furnace smelting needs compared with the coke in Example 1, which has been fully verified in blast furnace production.

[0078] Although the above describes the specific implementation methods of the present invention, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
