[0002] Blast furnace ironmaking is currently the most important ironmaking method in steel production. By adding iron ore, coke, limestone, and other auxiliary materials to the blast furnace, the iron ore is reduced and melted under high-temperature conditions to obtain pig iron. The efficiency and stability of blast furnace operation directly affect the output and quality of iron; therefore, optimizing blast furnace smelting parameters is an important way for steel enterprises to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0003] The Rist operating line is a theoretical tool used to analyze blast furnace thermal efficiency and material balance. By modeling the physicochemical reactions in various regions within the blast furnace, the Rist operating line can help engineers predict key parameters such as temperature distribution, gas composition, and heat consumption.

[0033] The method for comparing and analyzing blast furnace smelting parameters using the Rist operating line in this invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0034] Based on the Rist operating line theory, the values of points A, E, W, P, V, and U in the blast furnace operating line are calculated using the Y-axis "subtraction method." This yields data such as furnace working efficiency, Q-value of other heat consumption in the high-temperature zone, and direct reduction degree. The operating line is then plotted, and by comparing the data, the changes in key parameters are analyzed to identify the main reasons for these changes in the blast furnace. Further comparison of the calculation results reveals the optimization potential for fuel consumption among different blast furnaces.
[0035] The blast furnace Rist operating line encompasses several aspects, including the reaction process of O introduced by the blast furnace airflow with the combustion gas produced from fuel, the direct reduction process of C with alloying elements, the direct reduction process of iron oxides with C, and the indirect reduction process of iron oxides with gas. Therefore, focusing on the operating line calculation process can effectively analyze the differences in calculation results. Operating line calculations were performed on three blast furnaces of different volumes (2200m³, 2200m³, and 2200m³) at Baogang Steel. 3 3000m 3 2500m 3 This process yields the corresponding results and generates the appropriate operation line graphs. Specific operation line graphs are shown below. Figure 1 The main parameters are shown in Table 1.
[0036] Table 13 Comparison of Calculation Data for Blast Furnaces of Different Volumes
[0037]
[0038]
[0039] Based on the data in the table and graph above, comparing the operating line graphs, the ideal operating line slope for blast furnace A is 1.9096, and the actual operating line slope is 2.0828; the ideal operating line slope for blast furnace B is 1.8672, and the actual operating line slope is 1.9553; and the ideal operating line slope for blast furnace C is 1.8619, and the actual operating line slope is 1.9259. Overall, blast furnace A has the largest slope difference among the three blast furnaces, with a value of 0.173, while the slopes for blast furnaces B and C are basically similar. The main reason for this phenomenon is:
[0040] ① The difference in raw material and fuel structure leads to discrepancies in calculation results. The calculation background for blast furnace A is: the burden structure is 49% sinter + 51% pellets, while blast furnaces B and C have a normal burden structure of about 73% sinter + about 27% pellets. Since the proportion of Bayan Obo iron concentrate in the sinter of blast furnace A was not adjusted, the proportion of Bayan Obo iron concentrate in the blast furnace increases linearly with the increase of the pellet proportion, which is nearly 20 percentage points higher than that of blast furnaces B and C.
[0041] ② Differences in operating furnace type. Due to changes in the burden structure, the operating furnace type of blast furnace A was altered, resulting in higher feed grade and lower slag ratio. However, the advantages of these factors were not fully realized. Calculations show that the theoretical slag ratio of blast furnace A is approximately 300 kg / t, while that of blast furnaces B and C is 325-330 kg / t. The slag ratio of blast furnace A is 25-30 kg / t lower than that of blast furnaces B and C. However, due to factors such as changes in airflow distribution, the rolling effect of pellets on the burden surface, and increased load of harmful elements in the furnace, the pressure-to-volume relationship of blast furnace A is tighter, the airflow is reduced, and the gas utilization rate is at a relatively low level of 42%-43%. This further results in a 0.031 increase in the direct reduction degree of blast furnace compared to the average of blast furnaces B and C, a 6.2 percentage point decrease in furnace working efficiency, and a 2735 KJ / Kmol increase in other heat consumption in the high-temperature zone.
[0042] ③ Changes in air consumption per ton of iron. In actual operation line calculations, under the smelting conditions of a high proportion of pellets and a high proportion of Bayan Obo iron concentrate charged into blast furnace A, the most obvious changes in the calculated parameters are the increase in air consumption per ton of iron and the increase in the amount of carbon in the fuel before the tuyeres. Specifically, the air consumption per ton of iron is 112.5m higher than that of blast furnaces B and C. 3 The carbon combustion rate (Cb) at the blast outlet increased by approximately 25.6 kg / t.
[0043] ④ Control of blast furnace top gas composition. Among the components of blast furnace top gas, CO and CO2 content, the level of CO2 content directly affects the horizontal coordinate position of point A on the actual operation line. When the CO content is relatively stable and the CO2 content is low, the blast furnace gas utilization rate is low, XA shifts to the left. The CO2 content of blast furnace A is 1.3 percentage points lower than that of blast furnaces B and C, causing the difference between XA and XA′ to become larger, resulting in a larger slope difference.
[0044] Therefore, based on the above analysis, the reasons for the difference in fuel consumption between blast furnace A and blast furnaces B and C can be basically clarified. In the future, to improve the economic indicators of blast furnace A, efforts should start with the burden structure, appropriately adjusting the proportion of Bayan Obo iron concentrate, reducing the content of harmful elements in the blast furnace feed, stabilizing coke quality, and reasonably increasing the blast volume. Simultaneously, basic pre-furnace work should be done well to ensure the first-time opening rate of the taphole and avoid delays caused by incomplete slag and iron removal. On this basis, the blast consumption per ton of iron should be controlled to form a matching relationship between the upper and lower parts, thereby improving the utilization rate of blast furnace gas, further expanding the indirect reduction range, reducing the direct reduction degree of the blast furnace, and creating conditions for improving furnace efficiency and narrowing the slope difference.
[0045] The calculation results show that the lower the blast furnace's working efficiency, the greater its coke-saving potential, with an overall negative correlation. Based on this, and using the data in Table 1, a horizontal comparison of the parameters of blast furnaces B and C reveals slight differences in the calculation results for the two furnaces under similar raw material and fuel conditions. Blast furnace B has a theoretical fuel ratio 9 kg / t lower than blast furnace C, a furnace working efficiency 1.6 percentage points lower, other heat consumption (Q) in the high-temperature zone 814.5 KJ / Kmol higher, and a direct reduction degree 0.009 higher. This indicates that blast furnace B has greater potential for sustainable optimization under current smelting conditions. Parameter changes are shown in [see table]. Figure 4 .
