[0002] In the field of resource utilization of vanadium-containing molten iron, the vanadium extraction-decarburization dual converter process is generally used to realize the collaborative treatment of vanadium resource recovery and steel smelting. This process uses a special vanadium extraction converter to oxidize and blow the vanadium-containing molten iron, selectively oxidizing the vanadium elements in the molten iron to form vanadium slag, which can be further extracted to prepare vanadium compound products after separation; and the semi-steel liquid after decarburization is transferred to a decarburization converter for deep dephosphorization and decarburization, and finally the required steel is obtained. In the steelmaking process, hydrogen-rich gas is widely used as a blowing medium for the decarburization converter process; by replacing traditional carbon-based reducing agents with hydrogen gas to participate in metallurgical reactions, this process not only achieves efficient decarburization but also significantly reduces process carbon emissions, providing key technical support for the green transformation of the steel industry.

[0059] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application clearer and more apparent, the application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings. Herein, the illustrative embodiments of the application and their descriptions are used to explain the application, but not as a limitation of the application.
[0060] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the embodiment discloses a steel smelting system with catalytic combustion function, which is used for reducing the supply of pure hydrogen, and mainly comprises a steel smelting module 4, a gas distribution and preparation module 2, a pure hydrogen storage container 5 and a catalytic combustion unit 3. Figures 1-4 The lines between the modules or units in the drawings represent pipes, i.e. the gas generated by each module or unit is transported through the corresponding pipe; generally, the above-mentioned pipes are made of high-temperature-resistant materials. In use, the controller (not shown in the drawings) is started, and the embodiment starts to work. The gas outlet of the steel smelting module 4 continuously generates coal gas, which mainly includes carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and hydrogen. Then, the coal gas can be transported to the gas distribution and preparation module 2 through the pipe of the gas outlet of the steel smelting module 4. Then, the gas distribution unit 21 in the gas distribution and preparation module 2 can know the amount of hydrogen-rich reducing gas required by the steel smelting module 4 according to the data transmitted by the controller, and then deliver the corresponding amount of coal gas to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22. Then, the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 can prepare the corresponding amount of hydrogen-rich reducing gas according to the received coal gas. Then, the controller guides the appropriate amount of pure hydrogen in the pure hydrogen storage container 5 to the pipe between the steel smelting module 4 and the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22, so that the pure hydrogen and the hydrogen-rich reducing gas are mixed in a certain proportion to form the blowing gas and are delivered to the steel smelting module 4. In addition, the controller instructs the gas distribution unit 21 to transfer the remaining coal gas, which is not required to be delivered back to the steel smelting module 4 as blowing gas, to the catalytic combustion unit 3. Then, the controller instructs the catalytic combustion unit 3 to start processing the remaining coal gas. Such a design can avoid the steel smelting module 4 delivering too much coal gas to the hydrogen-rich preparation unit through the gas distribution unit 21, which leads to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 producing excessive hydrogen-rich reducing gas, thereby reducing the supply of pure hydrogen to a certain extent. On the other hand, it can also avoid the accumulation of coal gas in the gas distribution and preparation module 2, thereby enhancing the stability of the operation of the embodiment. Figures 1-4
[0061] In the existing steel smelting process, the steel smelting module 4 will deliver a certain amount of coal gas to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22; then, the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 can prepare the corresponding hydrogen-rich reducing gas according to the amount of received coal gas; in order to maintain the preset ratio between the hydrogen-rich reducing gas and the pure hydrogen, the pure hydrogen storage container 5 needs to supply a corresponding amount of pure hydrogen; however, the chemical reaction rate inside the steel smelting module 4 is not proportional to the amount of coal gas generated, that is, the steel smelting module 4 may generate excess coal gas; when these excess coal gas is delivered to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22, the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 will usually generate excess hydrogen-rich reducing gas, thereby causing the supply amount of pure hydrogen to increase accordingly. Since the preparation cost of pure hydrogen is relatively high, this will increase the smelting cost to some extent.
[0062] However, by setting the gas distribution unit 21, the present embodiment can deliver a corresponding amount of coal gas to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 according to the amount of hydrogen-rich reducing gas required by the current steel smelting module 4 for injection; in addition, the gas distribution unit 21 can transfer the remaining coal gas that is not required to be delivered back to the steel smelting module 4 for use as injection gas to the catalytic combustion unit 3 for removal treatment of these remaining coal gas, which to some extent reduces the supply amount of pure hydrogen, thereby reducing the smelting cost.
[0063] The specific architecture of the steel smelting system with catalytic combustion function is as follows: it includes a gas distribution and preparation module 2, which is provided with a gas distribution unit 21, the gas inlet end of the gas distribution unit 21 is directly or indirectly connected with the gas outlet end of the steel smelting module 4, the gas outlet end of the gas distribution unit 21 is provided with the steel smelting module 4 and the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22, the gas outlet end of the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 is provided with the steel smelting module 4 and the pure hydrogen storage container 5, that is, the gas inlet end of the steel smelting module 4 is provided with the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 and the pure hydrogen storage container 5; and the gas outlet end of the gas distribution unit 21 is directly or indirectly provided with the catalytic combustion unit 3. Compared with the prior art, the present application reduces the supply amount of pure hydrogen to some extent, thereby reducing the smelting cost.

[0065] In actual use, the gas outlet end of the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 can continuously discharge coal gas, which is transported to the gas distribution unit 21 through the pipeline; at the same time, the gas outlet end of the decarburization converter unit 42 can continuously discharge coal gas, which is transported to the gas distribution unit 21 through the pipeline; at this time, the gas distribution unit 21 can divide the received coal gas into two appropriate parts according to the current working conditions of the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and the decarburization converter unit 42, one part is transported to the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 through the first branch pipe (not shown in the figure) of the gas outlet end of the gas distribution unit 21, because in the vanadium extraction converter unit 41, the gas with a high proportion of carbon dioxide is needed as the injection gas, and such a design can promote the efficiency of vanadium extraction; the other part is transported to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 through the second branch pipe (not shown in the figure) of the gas outlet end of the gas distribution unit 21, in preparation for the preparation of a corresponding amount of hydrogen-rich reducing gas; if there is still remaining coal gas in the gas distribution unit 21, the controller can instruct the gas distribution unit 21 to transport the remaining coal gas to the catalytic combustion unit 3, which can burn and diffuse the remaining coal gas; such a design reduces the supply of pure hydrogen to a certain extent, while also reducing carbon emissions and protecting the ecological environment; generally, the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 described in this paragraph includes a vanadium extraction converter and an iron ore powder injection tank, the decarburization converter unit 42 described in this paragraph includes a decarburization converter and a lime powder injection tank, and the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and the decarburization converter unit 42 are both connected with an external oxygen source to ensure the normal work of the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and the decarburization converter unit 42.
[0066] In a specific application scenario, as shown in the accompanying Figure 2 or the accompanying Figure 3 As shown, the steel smelting module 4 and the gas distribution unit 21 are provided with a coal gas purification module 1; wherein the gas inlet end of the coal gas purification module 1 is provided with a vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and a decarburization converter unit 42, and the gas outlet end of the coal gas purification module 1 is connected with the gas inlet end of the gas distribution unit 21; generally, the coal gas purification module 1 is electrically connected with the aforementioned controller, which can remove the useless components in the coal gas transported by the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and the decarburization converter unit 42, i.e. the gases other than carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and hydrogen, thereby improving the product quality obtained by the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and the decarburization converter unit 42.
[0067] Furthermore, the gas purification module 1 mainly includes a vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 and a decarbonization gas purification unit 12. Specifically, the inlet of the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 is connected to the outlet of the vanadium extraction converter unit 41, and the outlet of the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 is connected to the inlet of the gas distribution unit 21. The inlet of the decarbonization gas purification unit 12 is connected to the outlet of the decarbonization converter unit 42, and the outlet of the decarbonization gas purification unit 12 is connected to the inlet of the gas distribution unit 21. Normally, both the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 and the decarbonization gas purification unit 12 are electrically connected to the aforementioned controller. In a specific application scenario, two pipes are provided between the gas distribution unit 21 and the gas purification module 1, that is, two pipes are provided at the inlet of the gas distribution unit 21, one pipe is connected to the decarbonization gas purification unit 12, and the other pipe is connected to the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11.
[0068] In actual use, the coal gas generated by the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 is transported through pipelines to the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11. The vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 then purifies the received coal gas. Next, the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 transports the purified gas to the gas distribution unit 21. The corresponding process of the decarbonization gas purification unit 12 is similar to that of the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11, and the specific details are not elaborated here. Furthermore, both the vanadium extraction gas purification unit 11 and the decarbonization gas purification unit 12 are connected to an external oxygen source to ensure their normal operation. The specific details of the purification operation can be broadly referenced in an existing patent, publication number CN109234490B.
[0069] In a specific application scenario, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, the gas outlet of the catalytic combustion unit 3 is equipped with a waste heat collection module 6. This design can utilize the energy or matter generated by the catalytic combustion unit 3, thereby realizing the reuse of resources in this embodiment.
[0070] Furthermore, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 and appendix Figure 2 As shown, the waste heat collection module 6 is equipped with a waste heat power generation unit 61; specifically, the air inlet of the waste heat power generation unit 61 is connected to the air outlet of the catalytic combustion unit 3; under normal circumstances, the waste heat power generation unit 61 is electrically connected to the aforementioned controller.
[0071] The catalytic combustion unit 3 will generate water vapor in the process of treating the received coal gas; then, the water vapor can move along the pipeline of the gas outlet end of the catalytic combustion unit 3 to the waste heat power generation unit 61; then, the waste heat power generation unit 61 will receive the heat generated by the water vapor; then, the waste heat power generation unit 61 can convert the heat into electric energy and transmit to other electrical equipment, which improves the energy utilization rate of the embodiment.
[0072] Further, the waste heat collection module 6 is also provided with a carbon dioxide collection unit 62; specifically, the gas inlet end of the carbon dioxide collection unit 62 is connected with the gas outlet end of the catalytic combustion unit 3; usually, the carbon dioxide collection unit 62 is electrically connected with the aforementioned controller.
[0073] The catalytic combustion unit 3 will generate water vapor in the process of treating the received coal gas; then, the water vapor can move along the pipeline of the gas outlet end of the catalytic combustion unit 3 to the waste heat power generation unit 61; then, the waste heat power generation unit 61 will receive the heat generated by the water vapor; then, the waste heat power generation unit 61 can convert the heat into electric energy and transmit to other electrical equipment, which improves the energy utilization rate of the embodiment.
[0074] The above-mentioned gas distribution unit 21 can also be composed of a plurality of gas flow sensors (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of gas valves (not shown in the figure); specifically, a three-way pipeline (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the gas outlet end of the steel smelting module 4 and the pipeline of the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22, the gas inlet end of the three-way pipeline is connected with the gas outlet end of the steel smelting module 4, and the gas outlet end of the three-way pipeline is provided with the steel smelting module 4, the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 and the catalytic combustion unit 3, that is, the first passage of the three-way pipeline is communicated with the steel smelting module 4, the second passage is communicated with the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22, and the third passage is communicated with the catalytic combustion unit 3; and the gas inlet end of the first passage, the second passage and the third passage is respectively provided with a group of gas flow sensors and gas valves, that is, one gas flow sensor and one gas valve; usually, each group of gas flow sensors and gas valves are electrically connected with the aforementioned controller.
[0075] In actual use, the controller first sends a closing instruction to the gas valve on the third passage; then, the controller sends an opening instruction to the gas valves on the first passage and the second passage, so that the gas at the gas outlet of the steel smelting module 4 can be transmitted through the first passage and the second passage; in this process, the gas flow sensors on the first passage and the second passage can send the current gas data flowing through the corresponding first passage and second passage to the controller in real time; if the amount of hydrogen-rich gas prepared by the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 currently received meets the corresponding blowing amount, the controller sends a closing instruction to the gas valves on the first passage and the second passage; at the same time, the controller sends an opening instruction to the gas valve on the third passage, and the remaining gas will be delivered to the catalytic combustion unit 3; then, the catalytic combustion unit 3 starts the corresponding combustion and dispersion process, which can also achieve the corresponding function of the gas distribution unit 21 described above, and to a certain extent, simplifies the structure of the embodiment and reduces the cost.
[0076] The present application also considers a case, as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The specific scheme is as follows: a reforming and separating module 7 is arranged between the gas distribution unit 21 and the catalytic combustion unit 3; the gas inlet end of the reforming and separating module 7 is connected with the gas outlet end of the gas distribution unit 21, and the gas outlet end of the reforming and separating module 7 is provided with the pure hydrogen storage container 5 and the catalytic combustion unit 3. In a specific application scenario, as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 3 and the accompanying drawings Figure 4 The reforming and separating module 7 mainly includes a reforming reaction unit 71 and a gas separation unit 72; the gas inlet end of the reforming reaction unit 71 is connected with the gas outlet end of the gas distribution unit 21; the gas outlet end of the reforming reaction unit 71 is provided with the gas separation unit 72, and the gas outlet end of the gas separation unit 72 is provided with the pure hydrogen storage container 5 and the catalytic combustion unit 3; usually, the reforming reaction unit 71 and the gas separation unit 72 are electrically connected with the aforementioned controller.
[0077] In actual use, the coal gas in the gas distribution unit 21 will generally undergo a chemical reaction to produce a certain amount of methane. The coal gas contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Under certain conditions, the carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms in the coal gas can combine to form methane. When the gas distribution unit 21 cannot deliver coal gas to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit 22 and the steel smelting module 4, the gas distribution unit 21 can deliver coal gas containing methane to the reforming reaction unit 71 for reforming reaction. The reforming reaction unit 71 can provide the corresponding reforming reaction conditions, as described below: first, the coal gas and external water vapor are introduced into the reforming reaction unit 71; then, the controller instructs the reforming reaction unit 71 to change the internal environment to the conditions for the reaction of methane and water vapor; then, a metal such as nickel (Ni) or palladium (Pd) is introduced into the reforming reaction unit 71 as a catalyst; in this process, CH4+H2O->CO+3H2; then, the controller will instruct the reforming reaction unit 71 to change the internal environment to the conditions for the reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor, and introduce the corresponding catalyst, CO+H2O->CO2+H2, at this time, more hydrogen is produced; then, the reforming reaction unit 71 delivers the generated gas to the gas separation unit 72; then, the gas separation unit 72 separates the received gas into hydrogen (i.e., pure hydrogen) and carbon dioxide; then, the gas separation unit 72 delivers the pure hydrogen to the pure hydrogen storage container 5 and the carbon dioxide to the catalytic combustion unit 3. This design achieves the secondary use of coal gas, completes the preparation of pure hydrogen while steelmaking, and does not need to use an electrolysis device to prepare pure hydrogen separately. The prepared pure hydrogen is then stored in a number of pure hydrogen storage containers 5. The present embodiment to some extent eliminates the step of preparing hydrogen by electrolysis, and also reduces the amount of pure hydrogen storage containers 5 occupied, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0078] As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 5 The present embodiment also discloses a collaborative blowing method, which is based on the aforementioned steel smelting system with catalytic combustion function and comprises the following steps:
[0079] Step S101: Deliver the coal gas produced by the vanadium extraction converter unit and the decarburization converter unit to the gas distribution unit;
[0080] Step S103: The gas distribution unit divides the received coal gas into the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe. The coal gas in the first branch pipe is delivered to the vanadium extraction converter unit as blowing gas, and the coal gas in the second branch pipe is delivered to the hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit;
[0081] Step S105: The hydrogen-rich gas preparation unit prepares the coal gas in the second branch pipe into hydrogen-rich reducing gas;
[0082] Step S107: Mix the prepared hydrogen-rich reducing gas with the pure hydrogen gas in the pure hydrogen storage container, and deliver the mixture to the decarburization converter unit as blowing gas.
[0083] In actual use, the collaborative blowing method can reasonably allocate the coal gas generated by the vanadium extraction converter unit 41 and the decarburization converter unit 42, and realize the optimized use of resources. In addition, the collaborative blowing method can make the coal gas into a hydrogen-rich reducing gas, mix it with pure hydrogen gas, and then deliver it to the decarburization converter unit 42 as a blowing gas, which can improve the reduction reaction rate and effect in the decarburization converter unit 42, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of steel smelting, and to a certain extent, also helps to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, thus having certain economic and environmental benefits.
