Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking, in particular to an improved operation method of blast furnace furnace type. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the traditional blast furnace furnace type, the matching of the furnace waist diameter and the furnace body angle is crucial to the gas flow distribution and the smooth running of the furnace charge. After the transformation of the blast furnace furnace type, the furnace waist diameter is expanded from 12600mm to 13000mm, resulting in a 0.655° angle deviation between the lower 9th segment and the 10th segment of the furnace body (originally 83.039° adjusted to 82.384°). This geometric mutation will cause the following technical problems: Gas flow disorder: vortex is formed at the angle difference, which destroys the "center + edge" double-peak gas flow distribution, and the coal gas utilization rate decreases from 45% to 38-42%; Uneven descent of furnace charge: stress concentration in the angle difference area, increased coke crushing rate (<10mm particle size accounts for 28-33%, normal ≤15%), and increased pressure difference to 175kPa (normal ≤165kPa); Thermal load fluctuation: excessive edge gas flow, furnace wall temperature fluctuation amplitude up to ±15%, and frequent suspension of material (cumulative 3 times in the initial stage of blowing);

[0003] The existing charging method is not optimized for the geometric mutation of the furnace type, resulting in the destruction of the smooth running of the blast furnace and the increase of the fuel ratio to 630kg / t (target ≤550kg / t). Therefore, there is an urgent need for a charging method suitable for the HyCROF furnace type to solve the problem of coordinated regulation of gas flow and furnace charge. SUMMARY

[0006] Further, the emergency mechanism in step S4 is: when the pressure difference >180kPa, immediately reduce the air to 3840m 3 / min, stop oxygen, add 3 batches of clean coke, and control the center temperature at 400-500℃; when the pressure difference falls to <170kPa, restore the air volume at a rate of ≤50m 3 / min.

[0007] Further, the thickness of the coke layer added in the emergency mechanism is increased by 450mm based on the original.

[0008] Further, the optimized coke distribution matrix in step S1 is 41.5° (2 rings), 39.5° (3 rings), 37.5° (3 rings), 35° (3 rings), 32.5° (2 rings), and 29.5° (2 rings); and the optimized sinter distribution matrix is 40.5° (3 rings), 38.5° (3 rings), 36.5° (3 rings), and 34° (2 rings).
