Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of smelting reduction ironmaking, and particularly relates to a hot blast stove combustion air and gas preheating system for increasing the preheating temperature of combustion air and gas of a hot blast stove to meet the hot blast temperature requirement of a Hismelt ironmaking process. BACKGROUND

[0002] The smelting reduction ironmaking is Hismelt ironmaking.

[0003] The Hismelt ironmaking directly uses iron ore powder and coal powder for ironmaking, and thus the coking and sintering processes are omitted. The smelting process is that the ore powder and the granular coal are directly sprayed into a slag-iron bath through an ore powder spray gun and a granular coal spray gun, and the hot blast is sprayed into a space above the bath from the top of the reduction furnace; the oxygen in the hot blast is combusted with the CO and hydrogen generated by the reduction reaction of the bath to provide heat for the bath reaction.

[0004] The gas generated by the smelting reduction furnace has a temperature of 1400℃ or above, and after being cooled by a waste gas hood, the gas has a temperature of 900℃ or below. After being treated by a cyclone dust collector, the gas is treated by a waste heat boiler to produce steam, and the gas is cooled to ≤200℃, and then enters a bag filter for purification. The purified gas enters a clean gas pipeline.

[0005] The system is provided with a hot blast stove for heating cold air from a blower. In order to improve the heating capacity of the hot blast stove, the combustion air and the gas need to be preheated. A plate heat exchanger is used to preheat the combustion air and the gas by using the 350℃ waste gas generated by the combustion of the hot blast stove. Since the temperature of the waste gas as a heat source is low, the preheating temperature can only reach 150-180℃. In addition, the calorific value of the gas generated by the Hismelt ironmaking is low, only 2800-3000kJ / m 3 Left and right, and the hot blast temperature can only reach about 1050℃, but the process requires the hot blast temperature to be 1200℃.

[0006] In the document “Blast Furnace Design: Theory and Practice of Ironmaking Process Design” (page 559) of Metallurgical Industry Press, the preheating temperature of the combustion air is increased by 100℃, and the theoretical combustion temperature is increased by 31℃; the preheating temperature of the gas is increased by 100℃, and the theoretical combustion temperature is increased by 52℃.
