Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking, and in particular to a method for distributing small particle ore in a blast furnace. Background Art
[0002] The blast furnace is the primary process for ironmaking in my country, currently accounting for over 90% of my country's total iron production. A typical blast furnace charge typically consists of 70-75% sintered ore, 10-20% pellets, and 10-20% lump ore. Blast furnaces have a high demand for sintered ore, and the sintering process is one of the primary sources of pre-iron pollutant emissions.
[0003] During the blast furnace smelting process, to ensure good air permeability within the blast furnace, the particle size of the incoming charge is generally required to be greater than 5mm. Therefore, before loading the blast furnace, the charge is screened again, and the portion with a particle size less than 5mm is returned to the sintering process. This portion, known as blast furnace return ore, accounts for approximately 10-15%. At the same time, the sintering process also produces a certain amount of return ore with a particle size less than 5mm, accounting for approximately 20-30%. Therefore, the total return ore volume of small-particle return ore (particle size <5mm) is approximately 30-45%. This large amount of return ore is continuously recycled into the sintering process, resulting in increased energy consumption in the sintering process and high emissions of sintering flue gas pollutants. In addition, during the actual blast furnace smelting process, due to the impact and wear during the material transportation process, the loss of screening equipment and the screening efficiency, a certain proportion of ores with a particle size of <5mm enter the blast furnace during the actual blast furnace smelting process. These ores with a particle size of <5mm enter the blast furnace together with the charge, which not only causes a large change in the particle size distribution of the charge entering the furnace, but also because the segregation phenomenon of small-particle charge is more serious than that of large-particle charge, it will cause the average particle size of the local charge to decrease significantly, the porosity of the material layer to decrease, and seriously affect the permeability of the material layer, resulting in an increase in the local pressure difference in the blast furnace, resulting in a decrease in coal gas utilization, an increase in direct reduction, and an increase in fuel ratio and carbon emissions, which seriously affects the smooth operation of the blast furnace.
[0004] At present, the research on blast furnace charge distribution mainly focuses on the adjustment of charge distribution equipment or the movement law of charge. There is little research on the impact of changes in charge particle size inside the blast furnace on the gas flow distribution and pressure drop in the furnace. Mechanical forced screening alone cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the impact of powder in the charge on blast furnace smelting. On the contrary, excessive screening will increase the overall smelting cost, which is not conducive to reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of blast furnace smelting. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0032] The present invention provides a method for distributing small-sized ore particles in a blast furnace, comprising the following steps:
[0033] S1: Classify the sintering return ore and blast furnace return ore, and only screen the small particles with a particle size of 3-5 mm and store them separately in the small particle ore silo;
[0034] S2: By controlling the separate pellet silo, small-sized ore and large-sized furnace charge are distributed according to the predetermined distribution sequence and distribution matrix;
[0035] S3: According to the level of the effective volume of the blast furnace, adjust the initial distribution chute angle of the small particle ore and distribute the small particle ore to the center area near the blast furnace throat.
[0036] Blast furnaces account for over 85% of my country's ironmaking output, and will remain the primary process for ironmaking in the country for decades to come. To ensure the permeability of the charge bed within the blast furnace, the size of the incoming charge is generally required to be larger than 5mm. However, in recent years, with the continuous depletion of iron ore resources, various types of iron ore have shown a trend of degradation, and some small particles of ore have entered the blast furnace. This not only significantly changes the particle size distribution of the incoming charge, with a significant decrease in the average particle size, but also increases the charge's bulk density and reduces its porosity. This results in a decrease in the permeability of the charge bed and an increase in the pressure differential within the blast furnace, affecting the smooth operation of the blast furnace. In severe cases, this can cause accidents such as suspended charge. The present invention improves the permeability of the material layer and reduces the pressure difference in the furnace by optimizing and adjusting the distribution sequence of small-particle ores in the blast furnace, optimizing the angle of the distribution chute and the area of distribution into the furnace throat, so that the small-particle ores that originally need to be returned to the sintering process can be smelted normally in the blast furnace, which can ensure the normal use of small-particle ores in the blast furnace, reduce the amount of ore returned under the blast furnace trough and during sintering, and indirectly reduce the total amount of sintered ore required, thereby reducing the cost of sintered ore and further reducing the smelting cost of ore entering the blast furnace.
[0037] Specifically, in the present invention, the small-particle ore is one or more of sintered ore, lump ore or pellet ore, with a particle size of 3 to 5 mm; the large-particle charge includes coke (10 to 20 mm), lump ore (10 to 40 mm), pellet ore (10 to 20 mm) and sintered ore (5 to 40 mm).
[0038] In step S1, the large particle charge remains consistent with actual production and is not adjusted.
[0039] In step S2, the distribution matrix is to set the distribution chute angle and the number of rotations according to the different gears of the blast furnace; the small-sized ore is discharged to the feeding belt before the other particle size furnace materials, and the other particle size furnace materials are distributed according to the actual production distribution sequence and matrix of the blast furnace without adjustment; the remaining furnace materials are mixed and loaded into the upper part of the material tank, such as Figure 1 As shown, the order of distribution is: sintered ore - coke - lump ore - pelletized ore.
[0040] In step S3, the initial distribution chute angle of the small-particle ore is adjusted according to the effective volume of the blast furnace to ensure that the small-particle ore is distributed to the center area of the furnace throat, and the discharge time is 8 to 10 seconds.
[0041] When the effective volume of the blast furnace is 2000m 3 Below the grade, the initial distribution chute angle of small particle ore is 24-30 degrees, ensuring that the small particle ore is distributed to the blast furnace throat near the center area 0.21-0.43R, where R is the blast furnace throat radius, in meters;
[0042] When the effective volume of the blast furnace is 2000m 3The initial distribution chute angle of small particle ore is 22-28 degrees, ensuring that the small particle ore is distributed to the blast furnace throat near the center area 0.2-0.39R, where R is the blast furnace throat radius, in meters;
[0043] When the effective volume of the blast furnace is 3000m 3 The initial distribution chute angle of small particle ore is 20-25 degrees, ensuring that the small particle ore is distributed to the blast furnace throat near the center area 0.2-0.4R, where R is the blast furnace throat radius, unit is m;
[0044] When the effective volume of the blast furnace is 4000m 3 The initial distribution chute angle of small particle ore is 14-19 degrees, ensuring that the small particle ore is distributed to the blast furnace throat near the center area 0.19-0.38R, where R is the blast furnace throat radius, unit is m;
[0045] When the effective volume of the blast furnace is 4000m 3 Above the grade, the initial distribution chute angle of small particle ore is 12-18°, ensuring that the small particle ore is distributed to the blast furnace throat near the center area 0.20-0.39R, where R is the blast furnace throat radius, in meters.
[0046] The present invention optimizes and adjusts the distribution sequence, distribution chute angle and distribution area of small-particle ore in the blast furnace throat, effectively controls the radial distribution of small-particle ore in the furnace throat area, and improves the radial permeability of the charge in the furnace throat area without affecting the gas flow distribution in the central area of the furnace throat, making the gas flow distribution in the radial area more reasonable, which is beneficial to the stable and smooth operation of the blast furnace, reducing the comprehensive cost of blast furnace ironmaking and the energy consumption of the sintering process, and reducing the emission of sintering pollutants. The present invention has the characteristics of simple process scheme, strong operability, and significant energy-saving and emission reduction effects.

Charges of other particle sizes are charged according to the actual production charging matrix of the blast furnace without adjustment.
[0111] The distribution matrix of other particle size charges is:
[0112] gear 1 2 3 4 Chute angle / ° 41 39 36.5 34 Number of rotations 2 3 3 2
[0113] In this embodiment, the pressure drop data in the furnace is:
[0114] 0.0~0.2R area: 285Pa / m, 0.2~0.4R area: 1045Pa / m, 0.4~0.6R area: 1663Pa / m, 0.6~0.8R area: 2473Pa / m, 0.8~1.0R area: 2637Pa / m.
[0115] Comparative Example 1
[0116] In this comparative example, the blast furnace charging, distribution sequence, and distribution matrix remain consistent with those in Example 1, and only the distribution chute angle of the small-particle ore is changed.
[0117] The specific steps are as follows:
[0118] S1: Repeat steps S1 and S2 in Example 1, and keep the distribution of the charge in the hopper as follows Figure 1 shown.
[0119] S2: When distributing the material, the angle of the distributing chute is no longer adjusted. At this time, the chute angle of the small-particle ore is 42°, and it mainly falls into the area 3.6 to 4.5 m (i.e. 0.8 to 1.0 R) from the edge of the furnace throat.
[0120] In this comparative example, the pressure drop data in the furnace is:
[0121] 0.0~0.2R area: 62Pa / m, 0.2~0.4R area: 1055Pa / m, 0.4~0.6R area: 2911Pa / m, 0.6~0.8R area: 5121Pa / m, 0.8~1.0R area: 7018Pa / m.
[0122] Comparative Example 2
[0123] In this comparative example, the effective volume of the blast furnace is 3200m 3 The furnace throat diameter is 9m, and the charge includes 3t of coke dicing, 6.3t of lump ore, 13t of pellets, and 64.6t of sintered ore. The amount of small-particle ore is 5.4t, with a particle size of 3-5mm.
[0124] The specific steps are as follows:
[0125] S1: The existing sintered ore and blast furnace ore are graded, and the small particles with a particle size of 3 to 5 mm are screened and then mixed with the sintered ore.
[0126] S2: Load the charge into the material tank in the order of coke, lump ore, pellet ore and sintered ore, and distribute the charge to the throat material surface in sequence according to the same distribution matrix as Example 1, without adjusting the chute angle.
[0127] In this comparative example, the pressure drop data in the furnace is:
[0128] 0.0~0.2R area: 853Pa / m, 0.2~0.4R area: 1967Pa / m, 0.4~0.6R area: 5810Pa / m, 0.6~0.8R area: 3696Pa / M, 0.8~1.0R area: 3882Pa / m.
[0129] Figure 4 The following is a comparison of the radial pressure drop distribution in the furnace throat for Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2. It can be seen that when small-particle sintered ore is placed near the center of the furnace throat (0.2-0.4R) in Example 1, the pressure drop in the furnace throat region is significantly improved compared to when small-particle sintered ore is placed in the 0.8-1.0R region at the edge of the furnace throat (Comparative Example 1) and when a mixture of small-particle ore is added to the blast furnace (Comparative Example 2). The improvement in pressure drop is particularly significant in the 0.4-1.0R region, indicating that the overall permeability of the material layer in this region has improved, facilitating stable and smooth operation of the blast furnace.
