Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical fields of mineral processing and metallurgical auxiliary materials, in particular to a tundish covering agent preparation system and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] The measures of heat preservation, dephosphorization and secondary oxidation prevention of molten steel in ladle are related to tapping temperature system, smooth casting and quality of casting billet, and thus are focused on by continuous casting workers. With the continuous expansion of continuous casting production scale and the development of continuous casting process, the capacity of the ladle is increased, and the residence time of molten steel in the ladle is correspondingly prolonged. In order to meet the process requirements of subsequent processes, improve the cleanliness of molten steel, prevent secondary oxidation of molten steel, reduce temperature drop, and provide molten steel with appropriate temperature in the continuous casting process to ensure smooth casting, a certain amount of tundish covering agent must be added on the surface of molten steel after the molten steel is introduced into the tundish for heat preservation.

[0003] However, the traditional tundish covering agent is simple in raw materials, and is mostly single carbonized rice husk or perlite. The preparation method is often only crushing treatment. The simplicity of raw materials and the extensive control of particle size not only cannot meet the requirements of the development of continuous casting production, but also leads to the decline of product performance in the continuous casting process. For example, poor deslagging performance leads to the decline of casting strength and toughness, and the reduction of plasticity. In order to solve these problems, researchers begin to use multiple raw materials and deep processing of raw materials in the preparation of tundish covering agent. For example, alkali raw materials are used and the raw materials are melted and then ground and granulated. These methods improve the deslagging effect and particle size control of tundish covering agent to a certain extent, but they also bring new problems. For example, too much attention is paid to the improvement of alkalinity, which leads to the deterioration of heat preservation performance of tundish covering agent, the high cost of raw materials for increasing alkalinity, the use of artificial synthetic adhesive in melting and granulation, the additional energy consumption in pre-melting of raw materials, and the high cost of preparation of tundish covering agent.

[0004] Therefore, based on the development needs of tundish covering agent, it is of great significance to innovate a new tundish covering agent preparation system, select appropriate processing equipment and processing process according to the properties of raw materials, and strictly control the particle size of raw materials, so as to obtain a new tundish covering agent preparation system with simple preparation process, low production cost and the functions of heat preservation, deslagging and secondary oxidation prevention.

[0057] In the present embodiment, the conveyor can include a belt conveyor, such as at least one of a fixed belt conveyor, a retractable belt conveyor, and a turning belt conveyor.

[0058] In the present embodiment, the crushing mechanism and the screening mechanism can be a complete crushing and screening process with inspection screening, which is composed of a three-stage closed-circuit crushing with pre-inspection screening and closed-circuit screening.

[0059] The three-stage closed-circuit crushing with pre-inspection screening includes coarse crushing, medium crushing, and fine crushing. The coarse crushing is a primary particle material with a particle size of >10 mm after the raw ore is crushed by a bar screen, and a jaw crusher can be selected. The medium crushing is a secondary particle obtained by crushing the primary particle material after the coarse crushing, and a jaw crusher and a cone crusher can be selected. The fine crushing is a tertiary particle material obtained by crushing the secondary particle material after the medium crushing, and a jaw crusher, a cone crusher, an impact crusher, and a roller crusher can be selected. The crushing product after the three-stage closed-circuit crushing with pre-inspection screening is a fourth particle material with a particle size of ≤10 mm, of which the particle material with a particle size of >10 mm is returned to the medium crushing stage. The screening refers to multi-layer screening, and the screening equipment can be selected, such as fixed rod bar screens, arc-shaped bar screen, and vibrating rod bar screens.

[0060] The closed-circuit screening refers to crushing and screening the fourth particle material, and the crushing is superfine crushing, which can be selected from a roller crusher, a high-pressure roller mill, a ball mill, and a autogenous mill. The particle material after the crushing is subjected to two-stage screening, and according to the need, the particle material with a particle size of >20 mesh after the first-stage screening is returned to the crushing stage, the particle material with a particle size of ≤20 mesh is subjected to the second-stage screening to obtain the target particle material, and the particle material that does not meet the requirements is processed separately.

The screen mesh can be provided with 10 mesh, 20 mesh, 30 mesh, 50 mesh, 70 mesh, 90 mesh, 100 mesh, 150 mesh, and 200 mesh, and different particle sizes of mineral raw material particles can be obtained according to the preparation requirements of the intermediate covering agent.

[0061] In the present embodiment, the mineral particle material storage bin is used to store different types of mineral particle materials, and the mineral particle material storage bin is provided with a plurality of secondary storage bins for storing mineral particle materials of different categories and particle sizes. The bottom of the secondary storage bin is provided with a screw feeder or a gate for controlling the discharging speed.

[0062] In the embodiment, a conveyor is arranged between the mixer and the mineral particle mixture storage bin; the mixer comprises at least one of a ribbon mixer, a paddle mixer, a planetary dynamic mixer and a V-shaped mixer. The mineral raw material particles in the mineral raw material particle storage bin are accurately fed by a screw feeder, and are conveyed to the mixer by a belt conveyor. The screw feeder is accurately fed by adopting a control layer division architecture on the control of the screw feeder, that is, a production process monitoring system with DCS as the core is constructed, the screw feeder unit is independently controlled by a local intelligent controller (PLC), and data integration is performed with the D system through an industrial network. The high accuracy and high reliability of the feeding process are ensured, and the centralized, digitized and intelligent needs of production management are met. The specific operation is that an operator inputs the total production amount such as 100 kg / h on the DCS operator station, and the DCS automatically calculates the target set flow of each feeder according to the given ratio. The feeding should have a fixed feeding sequence, such as adding a part of the base raw material with a large proportion first, mixing for a period of time, then adding auxiliary materials with a small proportion, and then adding the remaining base raw material. In addition, the stirring speed is divided into three stages, the first stage is a low speed stage (25-30 rpm), which belongs to the feeding stage. When feeding, low speed running can reduce dust flying, prevent material loss and environmental pollution, and also reduce the starting load. The second stage is a high speed stage (45-75 rpm), which belongs to the mixing stage. After all the materials are added, the speed is switched to high speed to achieve the best mixing strength, so that the material quickly reaches the initial uniform state. The third stage is a low speed stage (30-50 rpm), which belongs to the homogenization and cooling stage. After high-speed mixing for a period of time, the speed is switched to low speed for continuous mixing, which can continue to promote homogenization. The three different speed stages correspond to different stirring times. When all the raw materials are added, enter the high speed stage, start a timer, and start mixing time T1 (here, according to the particle size level of the raw material, it can be 10 min, 15 min, 20 min). After the high speed stage timer reaches the point, the DSC adjusts the speed to the low speed stage, and starts a second timer at this time, with a timing time of T2 (here, according to the particle size level of the raw material, it can be 2 min, 5 min, 10 min). After the second timer reaches the point, the DCS controls the mixer to stop, and the mixed mineral particle mixture is conveyed to the mineral particle mixture storage bin by the conveying pipeline or the belt conveyor. After the above operation, the system is reset, and the next cycle is performed.

[0063] In the embodiment, the mineral particle mixture storage bin is used for storing mineral particle mixtures of different types or ratios of intermediate coating agents; and the mineral particle mixture storage bin is a temporary storage bin with a screw feeder.

[0064] In this embodiment, the proportioning is automated by using a PLC / DCS control system for weighing and proportioning, which can weigh and quantitatively convey mineral particles of different types and sizes. The PLC / DCS system is connected to the feeder and the mixer to control the amount of material fed, the mixing time, the stirring speed and the feeding / discharging sequence, and to realize automated operation.

[0065] For example, before the granular material is mixed, the system uses a screw feeder and a DCS control system to achieve automated proportioning, which can precisely control the mineral composition ratio of the high-magnesium component intermediate bag covering agent, the alkaline intermediate bag covering agent, the acidic intermediate bag covering agent, and the high-temperature viscosity controllable intermediate bag covering agent.
