TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a method and system for evaluating sintering reaction performance of iron ore fines. BACKGROUND
[0002] Iron ore sintering is an indispensable key pretreatment process in modern blast furnace ironmaking process, and its main purpose is to bond various powdery iron raw materials that cannot be directly charged into the furnace into blocky sintered ore with good strength and metallurgical properties at high temperature, so as to provide high-quality and stable furnace charge for the blast furnace. In this process, a series of complex high-temperature chemical reactions of the material is the core driving force of the sintering process, which directly determines the microstructure and macro quality of the sintered ore, and ultimately affects the energy consumption index of the blast furnace and the pig iron smelting cost.
[0003] The high-temperature reactions in the iron ore sintering process mainly include solid-phase reactions, liquid-phase reactions, gas-phase reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions. Among them, the solid-liquid-gas phase reactions constitute the basis of the oxidation-reduction reactions, and the generation and behavior of the liquid phase play the most critical role in the whole process. The liquid phase is the core bonding medium connecting the original ore powder particles and forming the solid framework of the sintered ore. The properties such as the generation temperature, generation amount, fluidity (viscosity), and mineral composition after solidification of the liquid phase directly determine all key quality indicators of the final sintered ore, such as the drum strength, reducibility, low-temperature reduction disintegration rate, and particle size composition. Therefore, accurately evaluating the properties of the liquid phase in the high-temperature sintering process of the iron ore fines is the core foundation for optimizing the sintering ore blending, improving the sintered ore quality, and ensuring the efficient and smooth operation of the blast furnace.
[0004] Currently, the evaluation methods of iron ore sintering reaction performance mainly include two types: high temperature basic property index method and sintering cup experiment method. The basic property index method indirectly evaluates the sintering behavior of ore fines by testing single parameters such as assimilation, liquid phase fluidity, intercrystalline strength, calcium ferrite formation ability, etc. For example, Chinese patent CN106769661A discloses a method for evaluating the liquid phase fluidity of iron ore fines sample by measuring the molten flow area of the sample at high temperature; CN111579383A discloses a method for evaluating the intercrystalline performance of the ore fines pellets by determining the compressive strength of the pellets after roasting. Although these methods can reflect the characteristics of the ore fines from a certain perspective, they have obvious limitations: first, they are isolated evaluations of single influencing factors, and cannot comprehensively reflect the comprehensive performance under the synergistic action of liquid phase generation amount, thermal behavior, viscosity and other factors; second, these methods are heavily dependent on physical experiments, with complicated process, long time-consuming, high cost and human operation errors; third, for the crucial parameter of “liquid phase generation amount”, it cannot be directly measured by experiment, but can only be inferred by experience. These shortcomings result in poor dynamic response of the existing evaluation methods, which cannot meet the needs of rapid, online and comprehensive evaluation of raw material changes in sintering production, and cannot provide real-time and accurate data support for intelligent ore matching.

[0042] In order to solve the problems of fragmentation, strong experimental dependence, inability to measure key parameters and poor dynamic adaptability of the existing evaluation method of sintering reaction performance of iron ore fines, the technical scheme of the present application is proposed.

The three key parameters of liquid phase generation amount, reaction enthalpy and liquid phase viscosity are integrated, so that the comprehensive sintering reaction performance of the iron ore fines can be more comprehensively and more scientifically reflected. Moreover, the present application does not need any tedious and time-consuming physical experiment, only needs to input the basic chemical composition of the iron ore fines, and obtains the liquid phase related parameters through the thermodynamic software FactSage, so that the response speed is fast, the raw material adaptability is strong, the analysis period is greatly shortened, the labor, material and time costs are reduced, the dynamic evaluation is realized in near real time, the sintering ore blending can be provided with reference support, the sintering reaction process can be optimized, the sinter quality can be strengthened, and the experimental cost of detection and analysis can be reduced.
[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.
[0044] Figure 1 A flowchart of an iron ore fines sintering reaction performance evaluation method is shown, please refer to Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:
[0045] Step 1, obtain the chemical composition of the iron ore fines to be evaluated, which includes the mass percentage content of Fe2O3, FeO, SiO2, CaO, MgO and Al2O3.
[0046] In actual application, the key chemical component mass percentage content of the iron ore fines sample to be evaluated can be accurately measured by standard chemical analysis method (such as X-ray fluorescence spectrum analysis, XRF). These components include Fe2O3 (ferric oxide), FeO (ferrous oxide), SiO2 (silicon dioxide), CaO (calcium oxide), MgO (magnesium oxide) and Al2O3 (aluminum oxide), which are the core components of the main liquid phase in the sintering process, and their content directly determines the behavior of high temperature reaction and the properties of liquid phase.
[0047] Step 2, normalize the mass percentage content of the chemical composition, so that the sum of the content of each chemical component is 100%.
[0048] Since the sum of the contents of each component obtained by the assay may not be exactly 100%, or there may be other trace elements not measured. In order to ensure the accuracy of subsequent thermodynamic calculations and the consistency of the system, it is necessary to normalize the measured contents of the above six oxides. Specifically, the mass percentage of each oxide can be calculated as the ratio of the total mass percentage of the six oxides, and then multiplied by 100%. The sum of the six oxides after such processing is strictly equal to 100%, providing standardized data for input and output of thermodynamic calculations.
[0049] Step 3, using the Equilib module of the thermodynamic calculation software FactSage, input the normalized chemical composition content, set the reaction conditions, and calculate the results at different temperature conditions under reaction equilibrium.
[0050] It can be understood that this step is used to input the normalized chemical composition data into the equilibrium calculation module (Equilib) of the thermodynamic software FactSage for equilibrium calculation, which needs to make the following key settings:
[0051] Select database: Must select a database suitable for oxide systems, such as "FToxid".
[0052] Define reactants: Define the six normalized oxides as reactants.
[0053] Set the calculation conditions:
[0054] The temperature range is usually set to cover the key temperature interval of the sintering process, for example, from 1000°C to 1400°C.
[0055] The calculation step is usually set to 50°C to balance the calculation accuracy and efficiency.
[0056] The initial conditions of the calculation are set as: mass unit g, temperature unit ℃, initial temperature 20 ℃, initial pressure set to 1 standard atmosphere (atm).
[0057] In the selection of "products" or "phases", usually specify that the system only considers "pure solid" and "pure liquid" to simplify the output results and focus on liquid-solid phase transition.
[0058] In practical applications, according to the chemical composition of the iron ore powder, the reaction of the iron ore powder under different high temperature conditions is simulated and calculated in the thermodynamic calculation software FactSage by inputting the reactants, content and performing key settings. Under the condition of not adding other raw materials and only single ore powder, a series of results such as the phase composition and content, phase chemical composition, and enthalpy change of the reaction process at a specific temperature can be obtained by calculation. Generally, the amount of liquid phase increases with the increase of temperature, and the temperature and content of the liquid phase generated by different ore powders are different. The lower the liquid phase generation temperature and the more the liquid phase generation amount, the more conducive to the liquid phase consolidation reaction process. The reaction enthalpy can reflect the heat absorption and release in the high temperature reaction process of the iron ore powder. The lower the heat absorption reaction enthalpy, the lower the heat consumption required by the reaction. The amount of liquid phase and the reaction enthalpy are both key indicators for describing the sintering reaction process.
[0059] Step 4, extract the amount of liquid phase generated at different temperature equilibrium states, the chemical composition of the liquid phase, and the reaction enthalpy data from the calculation results of the Equilib module; and use the Viscosity module of FactSage to input the chemical composition of the liquid phase to calculate the liquid phase viscosity under different temperature conditions.
[0060] It can be understood that this step is used to extract the required key data: the amount of liquid phase generated, the chemical composition of the liquid phase, and the reaction enthalpy from the calculation results of the Equilib module. Among them:
[0061] Amount of liquid phase: find the liquid phase named “Slag-liq#1” or similar in the calculation results, and directly read its mass percentage at each temperature, which is the amount of liquid phase generated at that temperature.
[0062] Liquid phase chemical composition: read the detailed chemical composition of the “Slag-liq#1” phase at each temperature, which is the content of various oxides in the liquid phase.
[0063] Reaction enthalpy: the Equilib module will directly give the total enthalpy change of the system from the initial temperature to each target temperature, which is the reaction enthalpy, reflecting the thermal effect of the reaction at that temperature.
[0064] Subsequently, the chemical composition of the equilibrium liquid phase at a specified temperature (such as 1250℃) is input into the Viscosity module of FactSage. The condition setting of the Viscosity module calculation is: mass unit g, temperature unit ℃, and viscosity unit Pa·S. The Viscosity module has a built-in calculation model for molten slag viscosity, which can quickly calculate the viscosity value of the liquid phase at that temperature.
[0065] It is generally believed that the optimal liquid phase content in sintering is around 30%. Excessive liquid phase content can lead to the formation of large-pore, thin-walled structures in the sinter, resulting in decreased strength. Conversely, insufficient liquid phase content reduces bonding strength, also decreasing the overall strength of the sinter. Given a suitable amount of liquid phase, the viscosity of the liquid phase directly affects its flowability. Excessive viscosity worsens the flowability and limits solid-liquid reactions.
[0066] Step 5: Select the amount of liquid phase generated, the enthalpy of reaction, and the viscosity of liquid phase at a specific temperature as evaluation parameters. Perform vector normalization on each evaluation parameter and set weights. Use the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision method to calculate the Euclidean distance between each set of evaluation parameters and the positive ideal solution and the negative ideal solution, and calculate the relative closeness accordingly.
[0067] In this embodiment, the purpose of vector normalization and weighting of each evaluation parameter is to eliminate dimensional and order-of-magnitude differences between them, enabling them to be compared and calculated on the same scale. In this embodiment, the three evaluation parameters (liquid phase formation amount, reaction enthalpy, and liquid phase viscosity) are considered equally important, and each is weighted at 1 / 3.
[0068] In this embodiment, the Euclidean distance between each set of evaluation parameters and the positive ideal solution is calculated using the following formula:
[0069] ;
[0070] ; ; ;
[0071] in, Indicates the first The Euclidean distance between the group evaluation parameters and the positive ideal solution. They represent the first The normalized values of liquid phase formation amount, reaction enthalpy, and liquid phase viscosity in the group evaluation parameters after weight adjustment. , Indicates the number of groups for the evaluation parameters. This represents the optimal values for liquid phase formation, reaction enthalpy, and liquid phase viscosity in the ideal solution.
[0072] The formulas for calculating the Euclidean distance between each set of evaluation parameters and the negative ideal solution are as follows:
[0073] ;
[0074] ; ; ;
[0075] in, Indicates the first The Euclidean distance between the group evaluation parameters and the negative ideal solution. This represents the worst-case values corresponding to the amount of liquid phase generated, the enthalpy of reaction, and the viscosity of the liquid phase in the negative ideal solution.
[0076] The formula for calculating the relative closeness is as follows:
[0077] ;
[0078] in, Indicates the first The relative similarity of the group evaluation parameters.
[0079] It can be understood that each iron ore powder to be evaluated corresponds to a set of evaluation parameters. Each set of evaluation parameters includes three parameters: liquid phase formation amount, reaction enthalpy, and liquid phase viscosity. The positive ideal solution consists of a virtual best sample, where each index value is the optimal value among all samples for that index. For indices like liquid phase formation amount and reaction enthalpy, where a higher expectation is better, the maximum value is taken; for indices like liquid phase viscosity, where a lower expectation is better, the minimum value is taken. The negative ideal solution consists of a virtual worst sample, where each index value is the worst value among all samples for that index. For indices like liquid phase formation amount and reaction enthalpy, where a higher expectation is better, the minimum value is taken; for indices like liquid phase viscosity, where a lower expectation is better, the maximum value is taken.
[0080] By calculating the distance of each set of evaluation parameters to a hypothetical best and worst point, a comprehensive and comparable score is ultimately given based on the relative closeness.
[0081] Step 6: Use the relative proximity as an evaluation index for the sintering reaction performance of iron ore powder. The higher the relative proximity, the better the sintering reaction performance.
[0082] The calculated relative closeness is used as the final quantitative evaluation index. The closer the relative closeness is to 1, the closer it is to the virtual positive ideal solution, and the further it is from the virtual negative ideal solution, indicating that the overall performance of the iron ore powder sample is better. Therefore, the relative closeness of various iron ore powders can be ranked, thereby quickly and objectively evaluating their sintering reaction performance and providing direct, quantitative data support for ore blending optimization.
[0083] The following uses 10 types of iron ore powder to be evaluated as examples to illustrate the specific implementation of the present invention, including the following steps:
[0084] (1) Obtain the chemical composition of the iron ore powder to be evaluated, wherein the chemical composition includes the mass percentage content of Fe2O3, FeO, SiO2, CaO, MgO and Al2O3. See Table 1 for the specific chemical composition.
[0085] Table 1. Chemical composition of 10 iron ore powders to be evaluated
[0086]
[0087] (2) Normalizing the mass percentage content of the chemical composition, so that the sum of the content of each chemical component is 100%.
[0088] (3) Using the Equilib module of the thermodynamic calculation software FactSage, input the normalized chemical composition content, set the reaction conditions, and calculate the results at different temperature conditions.
[0089] (4) Extracting the liquid phase generation amount, liquid phase chemical composition and reaction enthalpy data at different temperature equilibrium states from the calculation results of the Equilib module; and using the Viscosity module of FactSage, input the liquid phase chemical composition, and calculate the liquid phase viscosity under different temperature conditions. The thermodynamic calculation results of the liquid phase generation amount, reaction enthalpy and liquid phase viscosity at 1250℃ are shown in Table 2.
[0090] Table 2 Calculation results of liquid phase generation amount, reaction enthalpy and liquid phase viscosity of 10 kinds of iron ore fines at 1250℃
[0091]
[0092] (5) Selecting the liquid phase generation amount, reaction enthalpy and liquid phase viscosity at a specific temperature as evaluation parameters, vector normalizing each evaluation parameter and setting the weight, using the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision method, calculating the Euclidean distance of each group of evaluation parameters from the positive ideal solution and the negative ideal solution, and calculating the relative closeness accordingly.
[0093] (6) Taking the relative closeness as the evaluation index of the sintering reaction performance of the iron ore fines, the higher the relative closeness, the better the sintering reaction performance. The relative closeness and sintering reaction performance ranking of 10 kinds of iron ore fines to be evaluated are shown in Table 3.
[0094] Table 3 Relative closeness and sintering reaction performance ranking of 10 kinds of iron ore fines to be evaluated
[0095]
[0096] The sintering reaction performance evaluation of 10 kinds of iron ore fines to be evaluated is obtained by the multi-criteria decision method, The range is [0, 1], the higher represents the sintering reaction performance is better, from good to bad in turn D>A>H>E>B>G>I>C>J>F, the higher the score indicates that the iron ore powder has a higher liquid phase generation amount, lower reaction energy demand and better liquid phase flowability, which is more conducive to the progress of solid-liquid reaction in the high temperature sintering process. Studies have shown that a lower SiO2 content is conducive to promoting the generation of liquid phase, but excessive SiO2 content will increase the viscosity and reduce the reaction performance, for example, the evaluated iron ore powder F ranks 10th; MgO can reduce the viscosity of the liquid phase, for example, the evaluated iron ore powder D ranks first, which has a higher MgO content. According to the sintering reaction performance evaluation of the iron ore powder, the production site can not only consider the cost, but also consider the sintering reaction performance when optimizing the ore blending, thereby ensuring the quality of the sintered ore.
[0097] In summary, the sintering reaction performance evaluation method of the iron ore powder provided in the embodiment integrates the three key parameters of liquid phase generation amount, reaction enthalpy and liquid phase viscosity, and obtains a comprehensive score through a multi-criteria decision algorithm, so that the comprehensive sintering reaction performance of the iron ore powder can be more comprehensively and more scientifically reflected; the method does not need any tedious and time-consuming physical experiments, and only needs to input the basic chemical composition of the iron ore powder, so that the evaluation result can be quickly calculated through the thermodynamic software FactSage in a few minutes, thereby greatly shortening the analysis period, reducing the labor, material and time costs, and realizing the near real-time dynamic evaluation; by calling the mature thermodynamic database and balance calculation module, the liquid phase generation amount at the equilibrium state at different temperatures can be accurately calculated, thereby solving the technical problem that the liquid phase generation amount cannot be directly measured; the calculated relative closeness can provide intuitive and quantitative data support for sintering ore blending, guide the optimization of the ore blending scheme, and predict the quality of the sintered ore, thereby helping to stabilize the sintering process, strengthen the quality of the sintered ore, and reduce the fuel consumption of the blast furnace, and finally achieve the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
