Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the metallurgical field, and particularly to a method for repairing refractory materials of an ignition furnace of a sintering machine. Background Art
[0002] The sintering process is an important link in the metallurgical production process.
[0003] As Figure 1 shown, the conventional sintering process flow is as follows: After the ore in the ore bin 1, the limestone in the limestone bin 2, the dolomite in the dolomite bin 3, the coke powder in the coke powder bin 4, the quicklime in the quicklime bin 5, and the return ore in the return ore bin 6 are cut out in the required proportions, they are sent into one or more mixers 8 through the conveyor belt 7 for mixing and granulation, and then added to the mixed material bin 10 through the conveyor belt 9; the mixed material in the mixed material bin 10 is distributed onto the sintering machine 13, ignited by the ignition furnace 11, and after the suction sintering is completed on the sintering machine 13, it enters the annular cooler 14 for air cooling to reduce the temperature; in order to avoid the sudden cooling of the surface sintered ore just ignited by the ignition furnace 11 resulting in poor drum strength, the heat preservation furnace 12 is used for heat preservation.
[0004] Problems existing in the prior art:
[0005] As Figure 1 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the top refractory material 11-1 of the ignition furnace 11 and the side wall 11-2 of the ignition furnace are made by casting and curing of castable, and the service life varies from 5 to 10 years. According to the usage situation of the ignition furnace 11, during the annual overhaul period of more than 10 days of shutdown, re-casting treatment is selected. This overhaul mode takes a long time and has a high cost. In actual production, the ignition furnace 11 works at a high temperature of about 1100°C for a long time, and the damage state of the castable refractory material is not completely controlled. Once the refractory material suddenly falls off in a large area, the normal production of sintering cannot be maintained, and there are safety hazards. The sintering machine is forced to suddenly stop for an unplanned long time for re-casting treatment, completely disrupting the logistics organization of downstream units such as blast furnaces and steelmaking, resulting in huge economic losses.
