For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 A method for judging the activity of the hearth by using the composition of blast furnace slag and molten iron, comprising:

[0028] Step 1: Obtain the composition of blast furnace slag and molten iron under different iron times;

[0029] In the step 1, the sulfur content, calcium oxide content, silicon dioxide content, magnesium oxide content, aluminum oxide content in the slag; the sulfur content, physical temperature of molten iron and sulfur load of blast furnace in the molten iron are obtained.

[0030] Step 2: Calculate the distribution coefficient of sulfur between slag and iron under different iron times according to the composition of blast furnace slag and molten iron;

[0031] Define the slag basicity R = CaO / SiO2; the slag magnesium aluminum ratio = MgO / Al2O3; define the distribution coefficient L of sulfur (S) between slag and iron S is the ratio of the sulfur content in the slag of the iron time to the sulfur content in the molten iron of the iron time, that is, [S] slag / [S] iron.

[0032] Step 3: Screen out the distribution coefficient corresponding to the iron time that meets the preset condition;

[0033] Use the way of multi-layer condition nesting to establish L S Sample. It is required to comprehensively L S The number of samples is greater than 30. The nested conditions are generally selected within the set range of slag basicity R (CaO / SiO2), slag magnesium aluminum ratio MgO / Al2O3, physical temperature and sulfur load.

[0034] Step 4: Normal distribution verification is performed on the distribution coefficient, and when the normal distribution is not met, the abnormal value is removed to perform the normal distribution verification on the distribution coefficient again;

[0035] In step 4, the L S data under the daily production condition is subjected to normal distribution verification. If there is no record error or other abnormal condition in the data, the L S data is normally distributed. If it is not normally distributed, the abnormal reason should be found out, and after the abnormal influence is removed, the normal verification is performed again.

[0036] Step 5: The running distribution limit is determined according to the distribution coefficient meeting the normal distribution.

[0037] Step 6: When the distribution coefficient under the target iron next is greater than the running distribution limit, the working state of the hearth appears to be abnormal.

[0038] In step 6, the running graph is drawn according to the L S data in the normal production stage. If the L S data continuously decreases or continuously breaks through the lower limit of the control, the active state of the hearth should be concerned, which indicates that under the same slag condition, the L S data is continuously deteriorated, and the activity of the hearth may have a problem, resulting in the problem of sulfur diffusion.

[0039] The working principle of the present application will be further explained in combination with specific embodiments as follows:

[0040] 1. Determine the statistical items: the slag S, CaO, SiO2, MgO and Al2O3, the hot metal S, the sulfur load of the blast furnace and the physical temperature of the hot metal are listed as the statistical items.

[0041] 2. Data matching: the hot metal composition is matched with the slag composition of the same iron next according to the iron next, as shown in Table 1.

[0042] Table 1

[0043]

[0044] 3. Define the slag basicity R = CaO / SiO2, the slag magnesium-aluminum ratio = MgO / Al2O3, and define the distribution coefficient L S of sulfur (S) between the slag and the hot metal as the ratio of the S content in the slag of the same iron next to the S content in the hot metal of the same iron next, i.e. [S] 渣 / [S] 铁 . As shown in Table 2.

[0045] Table 2

[0046]

[0047] 4. Use the multi-layer condition nesting method to establish the L S sample. The comprehensive L S The sample number is greater than 30.

[0048] In the L S The data has 50, and the 50 data is selected into step 5.

[0049] 5. The L S Data is verified for normal distribution.

[0050] The normal distribution verification of data can be easily realized by using statistical methods or software, Figure 2 The P value is greater than 0.05, which means that the 50 L S Data in step 4 is normally distributed with a mean of 47.61 and a standard deviation of 9.670.

[0051] 6. If there is no record error or other abnormal condition L S Data should be normally distributed, if not, abnormal reasons should be found out and normal verification should be carried out again.

[0052] 7. According to the normal distribution of L S Data to determine the running distribution limit.

[0053]

[0054] Where, μ is the mean, which determines the center position of the distribution, σ is the standard deviation, which determines the width of the distribution, and x is the value of the random variable.

[0055] According to the data in step 5, the above formula can be calculated under the premise of step 5 L S Data has only 10% probability lower than 35.22.

[0056] 8. According to the L S Data of normal production stage (need to collect data under the condition of step 4) to draw running chart. The average value 47.61 determined in step 5 and the lower limit 35.22 determined in step 7 are used as the marking line. The L S Data generated in recent years under the condition of step 4 is filled in the running chart according to time sequence.

[0057] 9. The L S Data continues to decline or continuously breaks through the control lower limit, which needs to pay attention to the active state of the furnace, which indicates that under the same slag condition, the L SThe data is deteriorating, and the activity of the furnace hearth may be problematic, leading to issues with sulfur diffusion. For example... Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that L after 10 o'clock S The number began to decline continuously, and at 2 PM it fell below the lower limit; this is a low-probability event. (Explanation: L) S An abnormality has occurred and should be monitored immediately; the working condition of the furnace hearth is already showing signs of deterioration.

[0058] This invention can determine the working status of the hearth under different production conditions by calculating the distribution coefficient of sulfur between slag and iron under different iron grades. This makes it easier for staff to detect problems such as local accumulation or insufficient activity in the hearth in a timely manner, avoid the escalation of accidents, and ensure the stable operation of the blast furnace.

[0059] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon. When the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the various processes in the above-described method for determining hearth activity using blast furnace slag and molten iron composition, and achieves the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0060] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
