Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of metallurgical ironmaking, and discloses high-silicon iron ore pellets as well as a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The steel industry is a basic material industry for the development of the national economy, and is also a key field of energy consumption and carbon emission. Under the strong driving of the strategic goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", it has become an urgent task and core task for the steel industry to promote the transformation towards green and low carbon. In the whole process of steel production, the iron front system (mainly including sintering, pelletizing and coking processes) is a key link of energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission, and has great potential for energy saving and carbon reduction. Among them, pellet is one of the indispensable high-quality furnace charges for modern blast furnace ironmaking, and has the advantages of high grade, good strength, uniform particle size, excellent metallurgical properties and the like. Its production and use are of great significance for optimizing the blast furnace burden structure, improving the ironmaking efficiency, reducing the comprehensive energy consumption and reducing the carbon emission.

[0003] However, the traditional pellet production process generally relies on a high roasting temperature when producing high-strength pellets that meet the requirements of blast furnace smelting. Such high-temperature roasting process not only has huge energy consumption, but also is the main source of carbon emission in the pellet process, which is contrary to the goal of green and low-carbon development of the steel industry. Therefore, significantly reducing the roasting temperature of the pellets, realizing low-temperature roasting under the premise of ensuring the strength of the pellets, has become the core direction of the industry's technical research, and is crucial for reducing the overall energy consumption and carbon emission of the iron front system. The fundamental challenge faced by reducing the roasting temperature is that too low temperature of the thermal system will weaken the driving force and reaction rate of the internal physical and chemical reactions (such as magnetite oxidation, hematite recrystallization, slag phase formation and consolidation) of the pellets, which directly leads to insufficient consolidation, and the mechanical strength (such as compressive strength and drum index) of the produced pellets is difficult to meet the strict requirements of blast furnace smelting. Although, within a certain range, the strength of the pellets can be improved at a lower temperature by prolonging the roasting time, this method will also seriously sacrifice the production efficiency, leading to increased unit energy consumption, reduced equipment utilization and poor economic efficiency, and is difficult to be widely applied in actual production.

[0004] The production and application of high-silicon iron ore further exacerbate this problem. The siliceous gangue (mainly composed of quartz) in its composition has the following problems during roasting: (1) High melting point and low reactivity: Quartz has a very high melting point, and it is difficult to fully participate in the formation of low-temperature effective solidification liquid phase under normal or even higher roasting temperature conditions. At the same time, its chemical inertness is more pronounced in a low-temperature environment, which seriously hinders the effective solidification of the pellets. (2) Crystal transformation and volume effect: Quartz undergoes crystal transformation during heating and cooling, accompanied by significant volume change. This volume change easily induces internal stress in the pellets, which in turn leads to the generation of micro-cracks or even macro-cracks, causing serious damage to the strength of the pellets. (3) Upshift of solidification temperature window: In order to promote the formation of silicate slag phase to encapsulate quartz particles and achieve effective solidification, it is usually necessary to increase the roasting temperature or extend the holding time, which directly conflicts with the goal of low-temperature energy saving and carbon reduction. (4) Difficulty in balancing strength and metallurgical performance: Even if a certain strength is obtained through high temperature or prolonged time, the low-temperature reduction disintegration performance (RDI) of high-silicon pellets is often poor, which seriously affects the smooth production of blast furnaces.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an innovative process method that can effectively strengthen the solidification kinetics under low-temperature conditions based on the characteristics of high-silicon iron ore, significantly improve the mechanical strength and metallurgical performance of the pellets without relying on high-temperature or long-time roasting, and realize the green and low-carbon production of high-quality pellets. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-silicon iron ore pellet and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solutions adopted by the present application are as follows: In a first aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of a high-silicon iron ore pellet, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: S1, mixing high-silicon iron ore, binder and ferrous nitrate, adding hydrogen peroxide to pelletize, obtaining green pellets; the mass of the ferrous nitrate is 1%-20% of the mass of the high-silicon iron ore; the mass of the hydrogen peroxide is 1%-12% of the mass of the high-silicon iron ore; the mass of the ferrous nitrate is not more than 2 times the mass of the hydrogen peroxide; S2, drying, preheating and roasting the green pellets to obtain the high-silicon iron ore pellets.

[0008] The preparation method of the high-silicon iron ore pellet realizes significant improvement of the strength, reducibility and metallurgical properties of the high-silicon iron ore pellet through a three-stage strengthening mechanism of oxidation-bridging-solidification combined with precise control of process parameters. 2+ The hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing property, which on one hand strengthens the oxidation of magnetite in the pellet, eliminates the risk of volume expansion caused by unoxidized phases (such as residual magnetite); on the other hand, catalyzes the oxidation of Fe in silicate minerals, reduces the interference of low-valence iron on the reduction reaction, strengthens the crystallization of iron ore, improves the degree of intercrystallization, and thus makes the high-crystallinity iron ore more easily form continuous metallic iron nuclei in the reduction process, improving the reduction kinetics performance. Meanwhile, the ferrous nitrate as an additive is oxidized to hematite nanoparticles by H2O2 in the initial stage of roasting, which uniformly fills the gaps between high-silicon iron ore particles to form a bridging structure of "iron ore-hematite-iron ore"; later in the high-temperature roasting process, these hematite formed from ferrous nitrate will fuse and recrystallize with high-silicon iron ore to form new iron ore grains, thereby strengthening the intercrystallization degree of iron ore and further improving the compressive strength, reduction performance and anti-pulverization performance of the pellet. In addition, the preparation method of the high-silicon iron ore pellet has strong process compatibility and is green and environmentally friendly, which can effectively strengthen the solidification kinetics under low-temperature conditions according to the characteristics of high-silicon iron ore, significantly improve the mechanical strength and metallurgical properties of the pellet without relying on high-temperature or long-time roasting, realize green and low-carbon production of high-quality pellets, balance environmental protection and resource efficient utilization, has extremely high application value and development prospect, and has simple process, controllable cost and strong adaptability, which has great potential for large-scale industrialization and is expected to promote the transformation of the steel industry towards green and low-carbon direction.

This is because the strong oxidizing property of hydrogen peroxide in the present invention can enhance the oxidation of magnetite inside the pellets and catalyze the oxidation of Fe in silicate minerals. 2+Oxidation, eliminating the risk of volume expansion caused by unoxidized phases (such as residual magnetite); on the other hand, it can also strengthen the crystallization of iron ore, improve the degree of intercrystallization, and thus make it easier for high-crystallinity iron ore to form continuous metal iron nuclei during reduction, thereby improving the reduction kinetics performance. At the same time, ferrous nitrate as an additive is oxidized to hematite nanoparticles by H2O2 at the initial stage of roasting, uniformly distributed in the gap between high-silicon iron ore particles, forming a "iron ore-hematite-iron ore" bridging structure; later, during high-temperature roasting, these hematite formed from ferrous nitrate will fuse and recrystallize with high-silicon iron ore to form new iron ore grains, thereby strengthening the intercrystallization degree of iron ore and further improving the compressive strength, reduction performance, and anti-pulverization performance of the pellets.

[0069] As shown in Table 2, the compressive strength of the pellets of the present application is much higher than the blast furnace standard (≥2500N / pellet), which can withstand the pressure of the column and the friction of the charge in the blast furnace, reducing the damage rate of the charge into the furnace, thereby stabilizing the blast furnace operation and prolonging the service life of the furnace lining. Secondly, the reduction degree of the pellets of the present application is ≥70%, which can significantly increase the diffusion channel of the reducing gas, optimize the pore connectivity, reduce the diffusion resistance of the reducing gas, accelerate the reaction kinetics, thereby reducing the consumption of coke in the blast furnace, reducing CO2 emissions, and meeting the "double carbon" target of the steel industry. In addition, the anti-pulverization performance of the pellets of the present application is strong, and the structural stability is stronger, which can maintain the permeability of the upper layer of the blast furnace, reduce the risk of suspended and collapsed materials, ensure the smooth operation of the blast furnace, and reduce the emission of furnace dust. Therefore, the preparation method of the pellets of the present application provides a large-scale preparation scheme for high-performance pellets for blast furnace ironmaking, which can be widely applied to steel enterprises and short-process electric furnace-blast furnace combined enterprises, and promotes the green and low-carbon transformation of the steel industry.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit the scope of protection of the present application.
