Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of combustion control technology, and specifically relates to an environmentally friendly production control method for steel rolling heating furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] Steel rolling heating furnaces are industrial furnaces used for high-temperature production, producing small amounts of SO2 and NO in the combustion flue gas. x Both SO2 and NOx are key pollutants requiring special control and are major sources of acid rain and photochemical smog, posing significant threats to human health, crops, and the ecological environment. With increasing national emphasis on environmental protection and the introduction of various environmental production standards, environmentally friendly combustion control technologies are gradually being adopted by the steel industry. Dust, as a solid particulate matter, depends on the cleanliness of the air and the characteristics of the refractory materials in the furnace; it can often be effectively controlled through technological modifications. However, SO2 and NOx... x These substances are produced by the chemical changes of fuels, and their generation needs to be reduced through reasonable combustion control in order to meet environmental protection standards.

[0003] Patent CN201811208892.9 discloses a fully premixed flameless low-NOx burner. The burner has a combustion mesh lining extending inwards towards the combustion chamber, with a combustion mesh on the side of the lining facing outwards. The combustion mesh on the lining allows the premixed air and natural gas to pass evenly through the mesh, ensuring uniform combustion on its surface and preventing localized high temperatures within the combustion chamber, thus guaranteeing normal burner operation. Simply dispersing the flame through the combustion mesh, with preheated air and gas reaching a certain temperature, means the flame organization depends only on flow rate, not mixing. This method cannot effectively reduce concentrated combustion.

[0004] Patent CN202011162983.0 discloses a method and system for source control of sulfur dioxide emissions from hot blast stove flue gas in ironmaking. This method and system aims to solve the problem of source sulfur control in the blast furnace ironmaking process, thereby achieving the goal of compliant sulfur dioxide emissions from hot blast stove flue gas throughout the entire process. The system includes a data acquisition and transmission module, a memory, an analysis and calculation module, a data monitoring module, and a control terminal. The input terminals of the data acquisition and transmission module are connected to the data monitoring module and the metering and composition detection systems built into the blast furnace itself, respectively. Its output terminals are connected to the analysis and calculation module and the control terminal, respectively. The data acquisition and transmission module is interconnected with the memory, and the analysis and calculation module is interconnected with the control terminal. This invention controls sulfur at its source without controlling combustion.

[0005] Patent CN201811155404.2 discloses a radiant tube emission system and method for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, thereby reducing NO emissions during the combustion process. x catalytic reaction reduces NO x Combined, the two-stage reduction of NO in flue gas x Content, NO x The NO content can be reduced to extremely low levels, significantly reducing equipment costs. NO is reduced through catalysis. x The content is similar to that of post-treatment, while the cost of retrofitting the burner is high, which will significantly increase energy costs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly production control method for steel rolling heating furnaces, which involves rationally controlling the oxygen content during combustion and comprehensively considering the SO2 and NO content in the combustion flue gas. x The production volume is increased to achieve the goal of meeting the environmental protection standards of industrial furnaces and kilns.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: An environmentally friendly production control method for steel rolling heating furnaces, the specific steps of which are as follows: 1) Collect SO2 and NO at different flue gas oxygen contents during normal production of the heating furnace. x Emissions data; 2) Based on the data collected in step (1), perform linear regression to establish the NO system as shown in equation (1). x -O2 regression equation and SO2-O2 regression equation as shown in equation (2): NO x =a·O2+b(1) SO2=–c·O2+d(2) Where a, b, c, and d are regression coefficients, and a > 0 and c > 0; 3) Based on the data collected in step (1), plot the curves of equation (1) and equation (2); 4) Calculate the arithmetic mean of equation (1) and equation (2) respectively, and find the absolute value e of the difference between the two averages. The vertical axis of equation (2) is redrawn according to the vertical axis of equation (1) - e, so that the two curves intersect at f. The oxygen volume fraction corresponding to the intersection point f is recorded as the standard oxygen content (O2)0. 5) Adjust the heating furnace to operate under standard oxygen content (O2) of 0, and control it as follows: a. Real-time monitoring of NO x The SO2 emission concentrations meet the environmental protection standards for nitrogen oxides (NOx). x If the sulfur emission environmental protection index (SO2)2 is used, then (O2)0 will be used as the oxygen content setting value for combustion control during production. b. Real-time monitoring of NO x Emission concentration higher than (NO) x )1, will (NO x Substitute (O2)1 into the first regression equation to obtain the first oxygen content (O2)1. Substitute (O2)1 into the second regression equation to obtain the predicted SO2 value (SO2)1. If (SO2)1 meets the environmental protection index, then (O2)1 is used as the oxygen content setpoint for combustion control for production. If (SO2)1 does not meet the environmental protection index, then the air supply to the heating furnace is kept unchanged, and the gas supply is reduced until the real-time monitored SO2 emission concentration meets the environmental protection index. Then, the current operating parameters are maintained for production. c. If the real-time monitored SO2 emission concentration is higher than (SO2)2, substitute (SO2)2 into the second regression equation to obtain the second oxygen content (O2)2. Substitute (O2)2 into the first regression equation to obtain the NO content. x Predicted value (NO x )2, if (NO x If (O2)2 meets environmental protection standards, then production will be carried out using (O2)2 as the oxygen content setpoint for combustion control. If (NO) x If environmental protection standards are not met, the furnace temperature of the heating furnace will be reduced until the real-time monitoring of NO levels is reached. x Emission concentrations meet environmental protection standards, and production will continue at current operating parameters.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention addresses the issue of NO in the combustion flue gas of steel rolling furnaces while simultaneously taking into account the amount of NO. x Based on SO2 production parameters, a production method is proposed that simultaneously meets environmental protection standards, thereby achieving the goal of environmentally friendly production of heating furnaces.

The terminology used herein in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application.

It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0019] The control methods for achieving environmentally friendly combustion in industrial furnaces and kilns are relatively independent, and NO is controlled separately through combustion theory. x The formation of SO2 and NO occurs simultaneously in industrial furnaces through chemical changes. Their formation mechanisms are similar, both involving the combination of sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) from fuel and air with oxygen (O) to produce SO2 and NO. x However, due to their different sources, their formation patterns are completely different. In one case, sulfur (S) is introduced from coal gas and combines with oxygen (O) in the air to form SO2. For sulfur, oxygen is an excess element, so as the oxygen content increases, the proportion of SO2 decreases. Meanwhile, nitrogen (NO)... x It is the combination of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) at high temperatures, and it is the final element in the reaction. Its reaction is limited by the amount of oxygen present; as the oxygen content increases, NO... x The generation rate has increased.
