Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of iron and steel metallurgy industry, and in particular to a method for modeling the synergy between material flow and energy flow in an ironmaking process. Background technology:

[0002] The iron and steel metallurgical industry is a key foundational industry in my country, characterized by high output, high energy consumption, and high carbon emissions. The ironmaking process is the most energy-intensive and carbon-emitting process in the entire iron and steel metallurgical industry. The smelting process is essentially a process of movement and transformation of material and energy flows. Material flow is the primary operating mechanism, while energy flow provides the driving force for the chemical and physical changes in material flow. The two are mutually coupled and jointly maintain production. Therefore, the degree of coordination between material and energy flows in the ironmaking process has a significant impact on its energy consumption and carbon emissions. This paper analyzes the operating patterns of material and energy flows in the ironmaking process, establishes a coordination model for material and energy flows in the ironmaking process using mechanism analysis and data analysis, and evaluates the degree of coordination between the two. This provides support for steel enterprises to achieve high-level systematic energy conservation and emission reduction, and is of great significance to the green development of enterprises. Summary of the invention:

[0009] (1) Analyze the smelting process of the ironmaking process, including charging, hot blast, gas injection, gas treatment, ironmaking and other process sections. Among them, the charging process uses a belt conveyor to send the proportioned iron-containing raw materials and fuel into the blast furnace; the hot blast uses a blower to send the oxygen heated by the hot blast furnace into the blast furnace to improve the combustion efficiency and increase the reducing gas; the injection process uses a blower to blow coal powder into the blast furnace to replace part of the coke; the gas treatment removes the dust from the blast furnace gas, and then uses the waste heat and waste pressure to generate electricity through the waste pressure turbine power generation device; during the ironmaking process, the fuel and air are burned in the blast furnace to generate CO gas, which reduces the iron oxides to molten iron, and simultaneously produces by-products such as gas and slag.

[0010] (2) Analyze the material flow and energy flow of the ironmaking process. Material flow is the process of converting iron-containing raw materials such as sintered ore into products such as molten iron.

Non-fuel energy includes oxygen, nitrogen, steam, compressed air, and electricity; fuel energy includes coke, coal, and blast furnace gas; lost energy includes waste heat from coal gas, heat dissipation from the hot blast stove, heat dissipation from the blast furnace, and sensible heat from slag; product sensible heat is the sensible heat of molten iron; and recoverable energy includes electricity, blast furnace gas, and steam.
