Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sintering technology, and specifically relates to a sintering method for high-alumina, high-crystallization-water limonite. Background Technology

[0002] Iron ore sintering is the first step in steel production, and the refined raw materials it provides are the foundation for achieving high-quality, high-yield, and low-consumption steel production. Limonite is one of the iron ore types used in sintering. Compared with magnetite and hematite, its physical characteristics include a loose structure, low bulk density, high porosity, and rough surface. Its theoretical water of crystallization content is as high as 5.33% to 25.23%, resulting in high loss on ignition. It also has a low assimilation temperature, strong assimilation properties, good liquid phase fluidity, low binder phase strength, and a high capacity for producing calcium ferrite. Generally, iron ores with a water of crystallization content greater than 8% are classified as high-water-of-crystallization iron ores.

[0003] Currently, the main varieties include BHP Yangdi, RioTino Ha Yangdi, FMG mixed powder, and FMG super-special powder, with burn-off generally exceeding 8%. When high-water limonite is sintered in a large proportion, the excessive permeability of the bed leads to a rapid sintering speed, insufficient liquid phase generation during sintering, poor binder phase strength, poor strength of the sintered ore, low yield, and high fuel consumption. Therefore, although limonite has a relatively low cost, a high proportion can worsen sintering indicators and hinder stable sintering production. Baosteel has increased the proportion of high-water limonite in its sintering production from 23% to 40%, and Xingcheng Special Steel has increased the proportion from 25% to 35%.

[0004] Chinese invention patent 202111198165.0 discloses a sintering method for high-proportion limonite, comprising the following steps: S1. Mixing limonite, iron concentrate, Brazilian iron powder, and other iron-containing materials to form a homogenized ore, wherein the mass percentages of each component in the homogenized ore are as follows: limonite 40-65wt%, iron concentrate 5-15wt%, Brazilian iron powder 15-20wt%, with the remainder being other iron-containing materials; S2. Sintering the homogenized ore obtained in step S1 with flux and fuel through mixing, granulation, distribution, and ignition. Iron concentrate can stabilize the permeability of the material layer and also increase the amount of adhering powder during sintering, increasing the amount of binder phase and improving the strength of the binder phase; Brazilian iron powder can increase the skeleton material in the sintered material to increase the physical strength of the sintered product. Using this method can increase the proportion of limonite used, suppress the deterioration of the sintered ore quality due to the increased proportion of limonite, and increase sintering yield; at the same time, since the price of limonite is low, adding a large proportion can reduce the cost of sintering raw materials. Currently, both domestically and internationally, the main approach is to directly incorporate limonite into the sintering material. In production, technical measures such as increasing the material layer height, increasing basicity, increasing the fuel ratio and increasing the fuel particle size, and optimizing the ore blending and rationally controlling the limonite ratio are used to enhance the sintering process. Although these measures have achieved some results, they still cannot completely eliminate the adverse effects of limonite crystal water on sintering, and they also have drawbacks such as high fuel consumption and limited limonite ratio. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a sintering method for high-alumina, high-crystal-water limonite. This invention utilizes the high-temperature flue gas from the tail of the sintering machine to preheat the high-alumina, high-crystal-water limonite, allowing the limonite to fully decompose under the action of the sintering flue gas. Different batches are mixed according to the differences in iron ore particle size. Fine-grained limonite, steel slag, and magnetite form mixture A, while coarse-grained limonite, flux, and fuel form mixture B. Using pellet core B as the granulation core and mixture A as the adhering powder for pelletizing, sintering mixture C is produced. Mixture C is then distributed onto a sintering trolley for sintering. This method improves the high-efficiency utilization of steel slag and high-alumina, high-crystal-water limonite, and addresses problems such as rapid sintering speed, insufficient liquid phase generation during sintering, poor strength of the sintered ore, low yield, and high fuel consumption in the large-scale sintering process of high-alumina, high-crystal-water limonite.
