Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sintered ore, and specifically relates to a sintering method for high-loss siderite with high-alkali metal magnetite concentrate. Background Art

[0002] Siderite is widely distributed in nature and is an important iron ore resource. However, it has high burn-loss characteristics, which pose many challenges to traditional sintering processes. During the sintering process, high burn-loss can lead to problems such as poor permeability of the sintering material layer, unstable sintering speed, and large volume changes during sintering, affecting the quality and output of sintered ore. The self-produced ore of Kunming Iron and Steel Company is mainly Dahongshan concentrate, which belongs to magnetite, has a high alkali metal (potassium and sodium) content, a relatively fine particle size, with more than about 60% less than 200 mesh, and the vast majority of mineral particles exist in a monomer state, are relatively dense, have poor balling properties, a narrow softening and melting temperature range, and are relatively difficult to sinter. Since 2024, in order to broaden the ore utilization channels, Kunming Iron and Steel has tried to add 3-10% of siderite to the blended ore. Due to its 25% burn-loss and its use in combination with the relatively difficult-to-sinter Dahongshan concentrate, the following deficiencies exist when using general sintering methods: 1. When the current sintering process treats siderite, due to the poor response to the burn-loss characteristics, it is difficult to achieve an ideal level of strength for the sintered ore, which is not conducive to the subsequent blast furnace ironmaking process. For example, the sintered ore produced by some sintering methods is prone to breakage after being charged into the furnace, affecting the air permeability and smelting efficiency in the blast furnace.

[0003] 2. In terms of energy consumption, when the existing sintering methods treat high-loss siderite, due to inaccurate process control, a large amount of energy is required to maintain the sintering reaction, increasing the production cost and not meeting the environmental protection requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies, the present invention aims to provide a sintering method for high-loss siderite with high-alkali metal magnetite concentrate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a sintering method for high-loss siderite with high-alkali metal magnetite concentrate.

[0006] The first object of the present invention is achieved as follows. A sintering method for high-loss siderite with high-alkali metal magnetite concentrate is realized according to the following steps: 1) Crush and screen the siderite to a particle size of -5mm ≥80%; mix the crushed and screened siderite with other ores to obtain a blended ore; the blended ore includes the following raw materials in weight ratio: 5-10% of siderite powder, 35-40% of high-alkali metal magnetite concentrate, and 50-60% of other iron powder concentrates; 2) Add coke powder accounting for 3-5% of the total weight of the blended ore to the blended ore, so that the fixed carbon content in the sintering material is 3.4-4.0%, and the FeO content of the sinter is 8.0-9%; then add fluxes accounting for 17-20% of the total weight of the blended ore to obtain a mixed material, so that the basicity R of the mixed material is within the range of 2.15-2.25; 3) Pre-press the mixed material with a pressure of 600-900 kg to make the thickness of the material layer reach 750-850 mm; 4) Control the temperature of the sintering material to reach 47-50 °C, and control the moisture in the mixed material at 7.0-7.5%; control the rotation speed of the nine-rolls at 600-800 revolutions / min, control the speed of the sintering machine at 0.9-1.0 m / min, the ignition temperature is 1200 °C - 1300 °C, control the temperature at the end of the sintering machine at 380-450 °C, and control the exhaust gas temperature at the tail of the sintering machine at 120-150 °C; 5) After sintering, size and screen to obtain sinter, and the FeO content in the sinter is 8.0-9.0%, and the basicity is 2.15-2.25.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The sintering process of the present invention controls through stable process parameters, such as precise regulation of sintering temperature, time and basicity, to ensure the full progress of the sintering reaction, reduce the rejection rate and rework times. This not only improves the stability of the sinter product quality, but also improves the production efficiency. The method of the present invention improves the drum strength of the sinter under the sintering conditions of high-loss siderite and high-alkali metal magnetite concentrate, stabilizes the sinter quality, reduces fuel consumption, improves technical and economic indicators, and reduces the cost of sinter.

[0008] 2. By adopting the method of the present invention, enterprises can reduce the dependence on expensive iron ore, thereby reducing the raw material procurement cost.

[0009] 3. The sinter prepared by adopting the method of the present invention can improve the production stability and product quality of the blast furnace, reduce the furnace condition fluctuations caused by quality problems, and there is no need to transform the existing equipment.
