Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of iron and steel metallurgy technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing new blast furnace charge using sintered return ore. Background Technology

[0002] Sintered ore return is sinter with a particle size of less than 5 mm obtained after granulation and screening. Its main components are iron (TFe) and calcium oxide (CaO). Currently, sintered ore return is mainly recycled back to the sintering process for reuse. A reasonable proportion of sintered ore added (5%–20%) is beneficial to improving the permeability of the sinter bed and increasing the quality and yield of sintered ore. However, adding more than 20% of ore will reduce the yield of sintered products and increase costs and carbon emissions. At the same time, there are strict requirements on the particle size of sintered ore during the sintering process, generally not exceeding 5 mm. Among them, particles of 3 mm to 5 mm are the most ideal. Particles that are too fine (<1 mm) will lead to difficulty in nucleation, seriously deteriorate the permeability of the bed, increase fuel consumption, and reduce the quality of sintered ore. Therefore, achieving efficient and low-carbon utilization of sintered ore has become a key common problem that the steel industry urgently needs to solve.

[0003] Composite iron coke is a novel low-carbon blast furnace burden made from low-rank coal powder and iron-containing materials through mixing, briquetting, and carbonization. Iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca) in composite iron coke play a significant catalytic role in the gasification reaction of carbon, thus giving it high reactivity. Appropriate application of iron coke in the blast furnace can lower the temperature of the heat reserve zone, promote the reduction of iron-containing burdens, and reduce the coke ratio, thereby reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in blast furnace ironmaking. Currently, iron coke production mainly relies on high-cost iron concentrate, resulting in high overall production costs. There is an urgent need to find a new type of iron-containing raw material that can significantly reduce production costs while maintaining the high reactivity of composite iron coke.

Implementation data shows that when the proportion of sintered return ore added is 10%~30%, not only is 100% efficient utilization of this type of waste resource achieved, but also, because the sintered return ore is rich in TFe and CaO, the two have a synergistic catalytic effect on the gasification reaction of carbon, keeping the reactivity of the composite iron coke stably above 60%, significantly better than the reactivity of traditional iron coke.

All performance indicators show that this material has high industrial application value. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0034] See also Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a method for preparing new blast furnace charge using sintered return ore is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0035] Step S1 involves crushing, screening, and drying pretreatment of the sintered return ore, pulverized coal, and binder; wherein the pulverized coal includes bituminous coal and coke powder.

[0036] Step S11, Crushing process:

[0037] Jaw crusher combined with impact crusher is used to crush sintered return ore to a particle size range that meets the requirements of subsequent screening, breaking up agglomerates and eliminating large impurities;

[0038] A toothed roll crusher combined with a hammer crusher is used to crush bituminous coal to a force range that meets the requirements of subsequent screening, breaking up lumps and eliminating large impurities.

[0039] A cone crusher combined with a vertical shaft impact crusher is used to crush coke powder to a particle size range that meets the requirements of subsequent screening, breaking up agglomerates and eliminating large impurities;

[0040] A low-temperature jaw crusher is used to crush the binder, breaking the blocky and granular solid binder into easily screenable particles, thus reducing subsequent processing time.

[0041] The binder is modified asphalt, which is a black solid at room temperature with moderate softening point, volatile content and high coking value.

[0042] Using modified asphalt as a binder can prevent the problems of low-temperature asphalt's low melting point leading to agglomeration of the mixture and difficulty in dispersing the furnace charge, resulting in uneven structure of the cold-pressed billet. It also avoids the problems of high-temperature asphalt's high melting point and difficulty in melting, which makes it difficult to wet aggregate particles, leading to poor bonding and low strength of the cold-pressed billet. Furthermore, modified asphalt has low volatile matter and high coking value, effectively suppressing the cracking and agglomeration of composite iron coke during carbonization, while significantly improving its strength.

[0043] Bituminous coal includes 1 / 3 coking coal, lean coal and prime coking coal;

[0044] During the coal blending process, the mass ratio of 1 / 3 coking coal, prime coking coal, lean coal and coke powder is fixed at 9:2:2:1.

[0045] In the coal blending process, a fixed ratio of 9:2:2:1 is adopted, with 1 / 3 coking coal as the main component and a small amount of lean coal, and prime coking coal and coke powder as the secondary component. Bituminous coal is used as the main fuel, replacing part of the high-priced prime coking coal. Modified asphalt (3%~7% externally added) is selected as the binder. This can prevent the low melting point of low-temperature asphalt from causing the mixture to clump and the furnace charge to be difficult to disperse, resulting in uneven structure of the cold-pressed billet. It can also avoid the problem of high-temperature asphalt having an excessively high melting point and difficulty in melting, making it difficult to wet the aggregate particles, resulting in poor bonding effect and low strength of the cold-pressed billet. In addition, modified asphalt has the characteristics of low volatile matter and high coking value, which effectively inhibits the cracking and agglomeration of composite iron coke during the carbonization process, while significantly improving its strength.

[0046] Compared with traditional iron concentrate preparation processes, this solution significantly reduces raw material costs, while achieving a cold-pressed billet yield of over 85%, further reducing raw material loss and achieving the dual economic benefits of low cost and high yield.

[0047] Step S12, screening process:

[0048] The screen aperture is set according to the process requirements. The crushed sintered return ore, bituminous coal, coke powder and binder are screened separately using a fixed screen or a vibrating screen to obtain coal ore and binder with composite particle size requirements. The particle size of the pretreated sintered return ore is less than 1 mm; the particle size of coal powder and coke powder is less than 3 mm, and the particle size of binder is less than 2 mm.

[0049] During the screening process, overly coarse particles must be returned to the crushing stage for reprocessing.

[0050] Screening is used to ensure the uniformity of coal and binder particles.

[0051] Step S13, Drying treatment:

[0052] A rotary drum dryer is used to dry the sintered return ore particles after screening; a box dryer is used to dry the bituminous coal and coke powder particles after screening; and a vacuum dryer is used to dry the binder particles after screening. The binder drying temperature needs to be controlled within 40℃~50℃.

[0053] Drying is performed to remove free water and some bound water from sintered return ore, bituminous coal, coke powder and binder, thereby reducing the moisture content and avoiding affecting the efficiency of the carbonization process.

[0054] Step S2: The pretreated sintered return ore, bituminous coal, coke powder and binder are mixed evenly to obtain a mixture.

[0055] A high-powered mixer was used to uniformly mix sintered return ore, bituminous coal, coke powder and binder to obtain a mixture; the rotation speed was 200 r / min and the time was 10 min.

[0056] Of these, by mass percentage, sintered return ore accounts for 10% to 40%, bituminous coal accounts for 55% to 80%, coke powder accounts for 5% to 10%, and external binder accounts for 3% to 7%.

[0057] Specifically, the binder accounts for 3% to 7% of the total mass of the coal powder and sintered return ore. In other words, the binder is mixed evenly with the coal powder and sintered return ore in the form of solid particles, with a ratio of 3% to 7% of the total mass of the coal powder and sintered return ore.

[0058] Step S3: The mixture is heated and cold-pressed to prepare a cold-pressed blank.

[0059] Step S31: The mixture is heated using a mixture heating device, wherein the heating temperature is 70℃~90℃.

[0060] Specifically, the heating device for the mixture is a vertical preheater.

[0061] Step S32: The heated mixture is cold-pressed using a cold pressing forming device to obtain a cold-pressed blank; wherein the forming pressure is 3t / cm to 7t / cm.

[0062] Specifically, the cold pressing forming device is a high-pressure ball pressing test machine.

[0063] Step S4 involves carbonizing and cooling the cold-pressed billet to prepare sintered return ore composite iron coke product.

[0064] Step S41: Based on the four-stage heating system, a vertical furnace is used to carbonize the cold-pressed billet by gas heating.

[0065] The four-stage heating regime includes a first stage, a second stage, a third stage, and a fourth stage. The first stage heats the room temperature to 300℃ to 350℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min to 12℃ / min. The second stage heats the room temperature to 500℃ to 550℃ at a heating rate of 2℃ / min to 3℃ / min. The third stage heats the room temperature to 900℃ to 1000℃ at a heating rate of 7℃ / min to 9℃ / min. The fourth stage maintains the temperature at 900℃ to 1000℃ for 3 to 5 hours.

[0066] The process employs a four-stage heating regime: rapid heating at low temperature, slow heating at medium temperature, rapid heating at high temperature, and constant temperature holding. The first stage rapidly removes surface moisture from the raw materials, preventing structural loosening caused by moisture retention at low temperatures. The second stage involves slow heating to suppress bursting caused by the concentrated release of volatile components from the binder. The third stage rapidly increases the degree of carbonization, and the fourth stage ensures complete carbonization. The final product exhibits a compressive strength of no less than 3000N and a drum strength ≥75%, far exceeding the 2803N compressive strength and 68% drum strength of Comparative Example 1, fully meeting the mechanical performance requirements of blast furnace burden.

[0067] The gas is a high-temperature waste gas produced by the combustion of a mixture of coke oven gas and blast furnace gas; that is, the gas is a high-temperature waste gas produced by the combustion of a mixture of coke oven gas and blast furnace gas and combustion air; the high-temperature waste gas is used to perform countercurrent heating treatment on the cold-pressed billet, and the mass percentage of CO2 in the high-temperature waste gas does not exceed 10%.

[0068] Specifically, the vertical furnace is an internally heated vertical carbonization furnace. This furnace features high thermal efficiency, large production capacity, flexible adjustment of heating temperature, and low furnace top temperature.

[0069] Step S42: The carbonized cold-pressed billet is cooled to room temperature by gas cooling to obtain sintered return ore composite iron coke product.

[0070] Nitrogen gas is introduced into the cooling end of the internally heated vertical carbonization furnace. The nitrogen gas undergoes counter-current heat exchange with the descending high-temperature sintered return ore composite coke (900℃~1000℃). The extracted nitrogen gas is heated to 800℃ and sent to a waste heat boiler to produce high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which drives a steam turbine generator to produce electricity. The nitrogen gas, cooled by the boiler (approximately 150℃), is then dedusted and sent back into the cooling chamber by a circulating fan, forming a closed-loop circulation system. The sintered return ore composite coke is discharged after being cooled to below 100℃.

[0071] The method for utilizing sintered ore back to its source achieves low-carbon, high-value-added utilization. This method is simple, easy to operate, and produces cold-pressed billets and sintered ore-returned ore composite iron-coke products with high yields, excellent metallurgical properties, and promising industrial application prospects. This sintered composite iron-coke product can effectively replace some coke in blast furnace smelting, helping to reduce coke consumption and CO2 emissions, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the chemical composition of the sintered return ore used is shown in Table 1, and the particle size of the sintered return ore is less than 1 mm; the industrial analysis of the bituminous coal and coke powder used is shown in Table 2, and the particle size of the bituminous coal and coke powder is less than 3 mm; the basic properties of the binder used are shown in Table 3; and the gas composition of the mixed gas used is shown in Table 4.

[0140] Analyzing the above embodiments, under the premise that the sinter particle size is no greater than 1 mm, the amount of sintered return ore added is 10%–30%, the proportion of bituminous coal is 63%–85%, the proportion of coke powder is 5%–7%, and the binder is 5% modified asphalt. The iron coke is carbonized using high-temperature waste gas. The cold-pressed billet is heated from room temperature to 300°C in a vertical furnace at a heating rate of 8°C / min; then from 300°C to 550°C at a heating rate of 2°C / min; then from 550°C to 1000°C at a heating rate of 9°C / min; finally, it is held at 1000°C for 3 hours. After cooling with nitrogen, the sintered return ore composite iron coke product is obtained. The carbonization regime results in a cold-pressed billet with a compressive strength of over 500 N, a composite iron coke with a compressive strength of not less than 3000 N, a cross-linking strength of not less than 75%, a reactivity of over 60%, and a post-reaction strength maintained above 50%, exhibiting excellent economic and metallurgical properties. As can be seen from the above examples, high-performance composite iron coke can be prepared by using sintered return ore, bituminous coal, and coke powder as raw materials, and by optimizing coal and ore blending, sintered return ore particle size, binder type, and synergistically controlling the carbonization process. Its mechanical strength fully meets the standards for blast furnace use, while also possessing high reactivity and post-reaction strength comparable to metallurgical coke. With excellent overall performance, it is a high-quality ironmaking raw material.
