Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel smelting, in particular, especially relates to a method and system for optimizing the proportioning of converter steel and iron recycling materials based on heat balance calculation. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the control of converter steelmaking cost is particularly important. As the first process of steelmaking plant, converter smelting accounts for 80% of the steelmaking cost, and reducing the cost of converter will greatly reduce the production cost. A large amount of iron-containing dust, continuous casting cutting slag, slag steel and other iron-containing materials are produced in the process of steelmaking and continuous casting. After adding these iron-containing materials to the converter, the iron elements can be recovered through process optimization, and the discharge of waste and the consumption of converter steel materials can be reduced. The recycling of desulfurization slag iron, converter slag channel slag steel, cutting slag and other iron-containing materials in the converter has a series of problems to be solved, such as the influence on the tapping temperature of the converter, the influence on the final composition of the converter, the influence on the stability of the operation process of the converter, etc., which are worthy of further study.

[0003] In response to the above problems, metallurgical workers have conducted a lot of research. In 2014, China Metallurgy 12, "Application of iron-containing oxides in 80t converter smelting" detailed the use of sintered return fines, recycled slag steel and other oxides as slag-making auxiliary materials and coolant technology in the process of converter smelting. The results showed that sintered return fines and slag steel had strong cooling effect as a cooling agent for the converter, and were beneficial to the slag formation in the early stage of smelting. Iron-containing oxides could reduce the consumption of oxygen and steel materials, and the blowing process was easy to adjust. The blowing end had no obvious influence on the oxidation of the final slag. In 2021, No. 4 issue of Ansteel Technology, "Application of desulfurization slag iron in steelmaking production" introduced the use of desulfurization slag iron in the converter by Ansteel Group's Lianyuan Steelmaking Department. According to the different requirements of the sulfur content of the finished steel, measures such as grading addition of desulfurization slag iron during converter smelting and sufficient desulfurization at the argon station were taken. After the implementation of the technology, the sulfur content of the finished product was controlled within 0.010%, the pollution of the desulfurization slag iron discharge to the ecological environment was reduced, and the comprehensive production cost was reduced. In 2007, No. 4 issue of Steelmaking, "Application analysis of slag steel in converter steelmaking" introduced the process technology of directly adding slag steel instead of scrap steel in the converter by No. 2 Steelmaking of Jigang. Compared with molten iron and scrap steel, the molten steel yield of slag steel was reduced by 12.91%~13.61%. The steel material consumption of slag steel was 1247~1267kg / t. The smelting cost of slag steel instead of scrap steel was reduced by 4.12 yuan / t. In 2017, No. 9 issue of China Metallurgy, "Optimization of converter process in Baotou Steel Plant" introduced the technical difficulties and measures faced by the converter when adding iron-containing dust, continuous casting cutting slag, slag steel and other iron-containing materials. Difficulty one: smelting with slag steel in the converter, the slag is viscous and foamy during the blowing process, and spattering is easy to occur. Difficulty two: difficult to control the end point, the number of point blowing increases. The corresponding measures are: adopting "double slag + slag retention" operation and optimizing the bottom blowing gas intensity, which can finally realize the stable operation of the converter smelting process and greatly reduce the consumption of steel materials in the converter.

[0004] The above research work has certain introduction on the recycling difficulty of iron-containing waste in the converter and the corresponding measures, but there is no specific executable technical method on how to optimize the adding amount of iron-containing waste, fully utilize the converter waste heat, and meet the converter end composition and temperature control. SUMMARY

[0023] The heat required for the scrap steel to be heated to the melting point is:

[0024]

[0025] The melting latent heat required for the scrap steel to be melted is:

[0026] ΔH 2(渣钢) = slag steel weight (kg) x 250

[0027] ΔH 2(渣铁) = slag iron weight (kg) x 269.55

[0028] The heat required for the material temperature to rise to the steelmaking temperature is:

[0029]

[0030] The total heat required for melting is:

[0031] ΔH = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3.

It is to be understood that the use of the terms so construed can be interchanged, where appropriate, to refer to an embodiment of the application described herein in other than the order described. Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "include", and variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that processes, methods, systems, products, or devices that comprise, include, or are otherwise including a list of steps or elements can include not only those steps or elements that are expressly listed, but also other steps or elements that are not expressly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a method for calculating the optimal proportion of converter steel scrap based on heat balance, comprising the following steps:

[0059] S1, analyzing the element content in molten iron, respectively calculating the heat released by the oxidation of each element in molten iron, and calculating the heat generated by the converter based on the heat released by the oxidation of each element in molten iron;

[0060] S2, respectively calculating the heat required for scrap steel to heat to melting point, the latent heat required for scrap steel to melt, and the heat required for material temperature to rise to steelmaking temperature, and calculating the heat consumed by the converter based on the heat required for scrap steel to heat to melting point, the latent heat required for scrap steel to melt, and the heat required for material temperature to rise to steelmaking temperature;

[0061] S3, calculating the required scrap for the heat consumed by the converter to equal the heat generated by the converter.

[0062] The basic assumption conditions of the converter heat balance calculation are:

[0063] The heat required for converter smelting is all the heat released by the oxidation of chemical elements in molten iron. According to the oxygen potential diagram, silicon and manganese elements are oxidized before carbon in the early stage of blowing, and it can be considered that the oxidation of carbon begins after the complete oxidation of silicon and manganese, and during this period, the oxidation of phosphorus and iron also occurs. During the oxidation process of carbon element, 90% of the product is carbon monoxide and the rest is carbon dioxide according to experience.

[0064] According to the above analysis, the heat supply process of converter smelting can be divided into several parts:

[0065] (1) Heat generated by complete oxidation of silicon, manganese and phosphorus in the early stage

[0066] (2) Heat provided by carbon oxidation

[0067] (3) Heat provided by partial iron oxidation

[0068] For the convenience of calculation, the following assumptions are made:

[0069] (1) The content of iron oxide in slag is assumed to be 10%, and 20 kg of slag is produced per ton of steel;

[0070] (2) The oxidation rate of iron is constant, and the iron oxide produced during the melting of scrap steel is one-third of the total amount of iron oxide produced during the whole blowing process;

[0071] (3) The specific heat and melting point of slag steel, scrap steel, and ordinary scrap steel are assumed to be the same, and the specific heat and melting point of pig iron and hot-pressed iron are also assumed to be the same;

[0072] (4) 90% of carbon is assumed to be carbon monoxide.

[0073] Calculation method of heat generated by converter: calculated according to the element content of molten iron and its mass molar number.

[0074] Table 1: Element content of molten iron and its mass molar number

[0075]

[0076] (1) The heat released by silicon oxidation, reaction silicon mass (kg) x (-24.4)

[0077] (2) The heat released by manganese oxidation, reaction manganese mass (kg) x (-5.34)

[0078] (3) The heat released by phosphorus oxidation, reaction phosphorus mass (kg) x (-23.8)

[0079] (4) The heat released by iron oxidation, reaction iron mass (kg) x (-2.49)

[0080] (5) The heat released by oxidation of 1 kg of carbon is 0.9 x (-2) + 0.1 x (-16) = -3.4 (MJ), so the heat released by carbon oxidation, reaction carbon mass (kg) x (-3.4).

[0081] Calculation method of heat consumption of converter: the heat consumption of converter smelting mainly includes the heating of molten metal, the melting of scrap steel, and the heating of slag steel and other iron-containing recycled materials. Table 2 shows the basic parameters required for heat consumption model calculation, and formulas (1)-(3) are the calculation methods of heat consumption.

[0083]

[0084] (The above data are reference values, with Q235 steel as reference, and iron as reference for pig iron)

[0085] (1) The heat required to heat scrap steel to the melting point:

[0086]

[0087] (2) The heat required to melt scrap steel

[0088] ΔH 2(渣钢) = weight of slag steel (kg) x 250

[0089] ΔH 2(渣铁) = weight of slag iron (kg) x 269.55

[0090] (3) The heat required to raise the temperature of molten iron and other materials to the steelmaking temperature

[0091]

[0092] The total heat required for melting is the sum of the above: ΔH = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3.

[0093] Method for calculating optimal addition scheme of converter steel scrap:

[0094] According to the temperature and composition of the molten iron entering the converter, combined with the end temperature and composition requirements of the converter, the heat generated by the converter smelting is calculated ΔH (转炉产生热量) , according to the actual production, the heat consumption required when the type and mass of the converter steel scrap are different ΔH (转炉消耗热量) , when ΔH (转炉产生热量) = ΔH (转炉消耗热量) , the addition scheme of the converter steel scrap is the optimal.

[0101] Heat generation calculation module;

[0102] Based on the basic assumptions of converter heat balance (such as the order of element oxidation, the proportion of CO / CO2 generation), the heat generation is calculated by the following algorithm:

[0104] Manganese oxidation heat: Mn oxidation heat = Mn mass x (-5.34 MJ / kg);

[0105] Phosphorus oxidation heat: P oxidation heat = P mass x (-23.8 MJ / kg);

[0106] Iron oxidation heat: Fe oxidation heat = Fe oxidation mass x (-2.49 MJ / kg);

[0107] Carbon oxidation heat: C oxidation heat = C mass x (-3.4 MJ / kg) (calculated as 90% CO, 10% CO2);

[0108] Total heat production: ΔH production = Si oxidation heat + Mn oxidation heat + P oxidation heat + Fe oxidation heat + C oxidation heat.

[0109] Heat consumption calculation module;

[0110] According to the material heating and melting requirements, the heat consumption is calculated:

[0111] Scrap heating heat: ΔH1 = material mass x specific heat x (melting point - initial temperature);

[0112] Melting latent heat: ΔH2 = material mass x melting latent heat;

[0113] Material heating to steelmaking temperature heat: ΔH3 = material mass x specific heat x (target endpoint temperature - molten iron temperature);

[0114] Total heat consumption: ΔH consumption = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3.
