Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sintering technology, and specifically relates to a support frame for high-proportion concentrate sintering and its preparation and use methods. Background Technology

[0002] Low-carbon thick-layer sintering technology can significantly improve sintering productivity, enhance sinter quality, and reduce sintering fuel consumption, making it an important measure for energy conservation and emission reduction in the steel industry. However, as the layer thickness increases, the permeability of the layer gradually deteriorates. When the layer reaches a certain thickness, permeability deteriorates sharply, leading to a decrease in sintering speed, an increase in negative pressure, a significant increase in air leakage, uneven sintering between the upper and lower parts, and a decrease in yield. Improving the permeability of the layer is a key factor in maximizing the advantages of thick-layer sintering.

[0003] During the sintering process, the sintered ore in the upper region exerts a significant load on the combustion zone, causing poor permeability of the sinter bed in the lower region and thus affecting sintering performance. This effect is particularly pronounced when the proportion of magnetite concentrate in the lower region of the sinter bed is high. To improve the permeability of the sinter bed under gravity, support-supported sintering technology has been developed. Examples include "Sinter Bed Load Reduction Device, Sintering Machine Using the Device and Sintering Method" (CN101694349B), "Sintering Machine Support" (CN201892422U), and "Sintering Machine Support" (CN201892422U). Actual production testing has shown that using this method requires significant modifications to the sintering support beams at the head and tail of the sintering machine, the height of the single-tooth roller, and the bottom material leveling device at the head, resulting in high modification costs. In addition, the unloading device in this method is prone to wear and tear, and replacing the device requires machine shutdown, resulting in a large amount of maintenance and replacement labor and high costs. Moreover, the unloading device itself occupies space on the sintering trolley, which significantly reduces the output of sintered ore.

[0004] The production method for improving the permeability of thick material layer sintering (CN110629018B) and the flexible homogeneous sintering process for ultra-thick material layer (CN117286333A) have deviations from the composition of sintered ore, which will affect the fluctuation of the final sintered ore composition. They also have defects such as poor load reduction effect and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support frame for high-proportion concentrate sintering and its preparation and use method. Using sintering return ore, desulfurization ash, and oily sludge from converters as raw materials, and adding appropriate pore-forming agents and cold-setting binders, a porous sintering support frame is prepared, which improves the permeability of the entire material layer. The operation is simple and easy, and does not affect the quality of sintered ore.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: A support frame for high-proportion concentrate sintering comprises the following raw materials by weight: 45-60 parts of sintering return ore, 20-30 parts of oily sludge, 6-12 parts of desulfurization ash, 5-10 parts of pore-forming agent, and 3-6 parts of cold-curing binder.

[0007] Furthermore, the pore-forming agent is one or more of waste polypropylene foam, wood chips, and waste cardboard boxes. The pore-forming agent has two particle sizes: one with a particle size of 9–16 mm and the other with a particle size of 3–8 mm.

[0008] A method for preparing a support frame for high-proportion concentrate sintering includes the following steps: 1) Prepare mixture A by thoroughly mixing a portion of sintered return ore, a portion of oily sludge, a portion of desulfurization ash, and a portion of cold-curing binder according to the composition of sintered ore, with a mixing time of 5 to 10 minutes; 2) Prepare mixture B by thoroughly mixing a portion of sintered return ore, a portion of oily sludge, a portion of desulfurization ash, a pore-forming agent with a particle size range of 9-16 mm, and a portion of cold-curing binder according to the composition of sintered ore, with a mixing time of 10-15 min; 3) According to the composition of sintered ore, the remaining sintered return ore, oily sludge, desulfurization ash, pore-forming agent with a particle size range of 3-8mm, and cold-curing binder are thoroughly mixed for 15-20 minutes to prepare mixture C; 4) Prepare a frustum-shaped mold with a bottom circle diameter R of 200-500 mm, a top circle diameter r of 50-100 mm, and a height h of 400-700 mm; 5) Load mixture A into a frustum-shaped mold and repeatedly press it under a pressure range of 2.3 to 3.5 t / cm. After compaction, the thickness h1 of mixture A is 0.1h to 0.3h. 6) Load mixture B onto mixture A and repeatedly press it under a pressure range of 2.0 to 3.0 t / cm. After compaction, the thickness h2 of mixture B is 0.3h to 0.5h. 7) Load mixture C onto mixture B and repeatedly press it under a pressure range of 1.5 to 2.3 t / cm. After compaction, the thickness h3 of mixture C is 0.2h to 0.4h. 8) Then, after demolding, drying and firing, the finished support frame is obtained. The drying temperature is 120-150℃ and the time is 0.5-1.5h. The firing temperature is 1100-1200℃ and the time is 0.5-1.0h.

[0009] A method for using a support frame for sintering high-proportion magnetic concentrate, wherein the high-proportion magnetic concentrate refers to iron concentrate in which the mass fraction of iron-containing raw materials is ≥70%, and the specific method includes: After the base material is laid and before the sintering mixture is fed from the roller feeder, the support frames are placed on the base material via a conveying device and evenly distributed along the transverse direction of the sintering trolley. When the width of the sintering trolley is less than 3.5m, 2-3 support frames are arranged on the sintering trolley; when the width of the sintering trolley is 4-5.5m, 3-5 support frames are arranged on the sintering trolley; when the width of the sintering trolley is greater than 5.5m, 5-7 support frames are arranged on the sintering trolley. When the iron concentrate accounts for ≥70% and <80% of the iron-containing raw material mass fraction, the height of the support frame h = 0.3-0.5H4; when the iron concentrate accounts for ≥80% and <90% of the iron-containing raw material mass fraction, the height of the support frame h = 0.4-0.6H4; when the iron concentrate accounts for more than 90% of the iron-containing raw material mass fraction, the height of the support frame h = 0.5-0.8H4, where H4 is the thickness of the sintering material layer.

[0010] Cold-curing adhesives are one or more of epoxy resin adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, and water-based adhesives.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1) The adhesive properties of oily sludge can reduce the need for cold-curing binders. Desulfurization ash can be used as a calcium flux to ensure that the chemical composition of the support frame is completely consistent with that of the sintered ore, thus achieving efficient resource utilization of oily sludge and desulfurization ash.

[0012] 2) The pore-forming agent is decomposed and exhausted at high temperature to form pores of different diameters, which plays a role in the uniform distribution of airflow on the sintering trolley and reduces the impact of uneven airflow near the support frame on the sintering process.
