Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of blast furnace smelting, in particular to a method for treating suspended material in a blast furnace. BACKGROUND

[0002] Suspended material is a typical malignant accident in the process of blast furnace smelting, which is manifested as the stagnation of furnace charge, the sudden rise of pressure difference and the deterioration of gas permeability. According to the suspended material in the process of starting up the A blast furnace of Bayi Steel, the causes of suspended material are complex, including: imbalance of heat system: insufficient heat accumulation in the hearth (PT<1470℃, Si<0.3%), and too high fuel ratio (>600kg / t); disordered gas distribution: unreasonable tuyere configuration (blowing kinetic energy <90kJ / s), and too vigorous edge gas flow (edge / center gas flow ratio >1:0.6); lagging operation response: wind is not reduced in time when the pressure difference is >180kPa, and the wind is increased and the top pressure is raised simultaneously; structural defects of the hearth: dead column liquid permeability index <0.3, and coke pulverization rate >30%.

[0003] The traditional suspended material treatment method has the following defects: only relying on single wind reduction operation, ignoring the synergy of wind volume-top pressure-charge; not responding to the severity of suspended material, resulting in insufficient treatment or over-treatment; lacking dynamic regulation of the thermal state of the hearth and the utilization rate of gas. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for treating suspended material in a blast furnace to solve the problems of insufficient treatment or over-treatment in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the basic scheme provided by the present application is: a method for treating suspended material in a blast furnace, comprising: S1: suspended material classification diagnosis general suspended material: pressure difference 160-180kPa, K value 5.0-5.5, and material line fluctuation <2m; severe suspended material: pressure difference >180kPa, K value >5.5, and material line sudden drop 3-5m, which needs to be forced to settle material; stubborn suspended material: the material does not fall within 30 minutes after settling, accompanied by ηCO<40%, and dead column porosity <25%; S2: classification response treatment 1) general suspended material treatment reduce the wind to 70% of the current wind volume; the top pressure is lowered by 0.02kPa simultaneously according to the wind volume; add one batch of clean coke, and reduce the load ratio by 0.1; 2) severe suspended material treatment initial stage: wind volume is suddenly reduced to 600m 3 / min, furnace top pressure shut off to 50kPa; Material handling procedure: Add 3 batches of clean coke, reduce the load ratio by 0.3, and increase the coke layer thickness by 450mm; Recovery phase: Air volume reduced from 2500m³ / h 3 Start at / min, increase by 50m every 10 minutes. 3 / min; the furnace top pressure is adjusted with a lag of air volume × 0.018 kPa; when ηCO > 45% and K value < 5.0, the ore load is gradually increased; Treatment of stubborn suspended materials Thermal compensation: If the Si content of molten iron is <0.3%, the air temperature is increased to 1130℃; if the Si content of molten iron is >0.8%, the coal injection rate is reduced by 10kg / t. Air vent intervention: Stop the airflow, replace the leaking manhole cover, and adjust the air vent area to 0.2963m². 2 ; Dead material column activation: If the K value is <0.3, fluorite is added to wash the furnace, and the coke ratio is increased to 3.5t / t; S3: Dynamic monitoring and closed-loop control Parameter monitoring: Differential pressure, K value, ηCO, PT, and [Si] are collected every 5 minutes; Automatic triggering: When the pressure difference is greater than 170 kPa and the K value is greater than 5.0, the central control platform will issue an early warning and initiate the air reduction program; Recovery criteria: K value ≤ 4.5, ηCO > 47%, PT > 1480℃ must be met simultaneously.

[0006] Furthermore, in step S2, the amount of net coke added during the general suspension process is 5t per batch.

[0007] Furthermore, in step S2, the K value needs to be monitored during the suspension process. If the K value is ≤5.0 within 30 minutes, then proceed with a 50m... 3 / min stepped air supply.

[0008] Furthermore, the amount of net coke added per batch during the severe suspension treatment in step S2 is 15t.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S2, the ore load added each time during the severe suspension treatment is 0.05.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes step S4: preventative maintenance, as follows: Charging system: The angle difference between ore and coke distribution is ≥7°; Air outlet configuration: blower kinetic energy ≥100kJ / s, wind speed >280m / s; Heat reserve management: During the start-up phase, the amount of sleepers filled should be ≥300m³. 3 Oven baking time > 120 hours.

[0011] Furthermore, the weighted angle of the coke fabric is 37°, and the weighted angle of the ore fabric is 30°.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: 1. Graded and precise response: Differentiated processes are matched according to the type of suspended material, improving processing efficiency by 50%; Dynamic closed-loop control: Human error is avoided by adjusting ηCO and K value in a coordinated manner; Long-term maintenance of the hearth: The permeability index of the dead material column is improved by 30%, extending the blast furnace life.
