Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a system and method for the complete recovery and utilization of waste heat from sintering ring cooling, belonging to the technical field of sintering ring cooling waste gas treatment systems and methods in the steel industry. Background Technology
[0002] Statistics show that solid fuel consumption in sintering accounts for about 75%-80% of the energy consumption in the ironmaking process. For every 1°C increase in the temperature of the sintering mixture, solid fuel consumption can be reduced by about 0.12 kg of standard coal. The waste heat dissipated during the cooling process of the sinter produced by the blower-type ring cooler accounts for about 30% of the total heat of the sintering process. Therefore, increasing the temperature of the mixture and recovering the waste heat of the ring cooler are particularly important for reducing the energy consumption of the sintering process.
[0003] Many enterprises have built sintering annular cooling waste heat power generation systems to recover and utilize the heat from the high-temperature waste flue gas. However, for medium- and low-temperature flue gas (50-300℃), the heat is insufficient, and direct use in boiler heat exchange for generator sets can only produce low-parameter steam, resulting in low efficiency and high utilization costs. Some enterprises use the medium- and low-temperature waste flue gas from the annular cooling system for hot air sintering or directly return it to the sintering material surface through a flue gas recirculation system to utilize the sensible heat of the medium- and low-temperature waste flue gas and eliminate environmental pollution caused by dust-laden flue gas emissions into the air. However, because the flue gas temperature is much higher than the air temperature, the flue gas volume expansion leads to a significant decrease in oxygen content, which is not conducive to fuel combustion in the sintering mixture and affects the quality of sintered ore products.
[0004] Currently, metallurgical enterprises use steam heating to increase the temperature of sintering mixtures. The steam source is usually saturated steam generated by converters, heating furnaces, etc., which is transported to the sintering production line through pipelines. This method suffers from significant heat loss during the transportation of saturated steam due to the long pipelines and the fact that about 20-40% of the steam condenses and is discharged from the steam trap. Alternatively, enterprises that have built sintering waste heat power generation units use low-parameter steam generated by waste heat boilers to heat the mixtures. While this avoids the losses caused by long pipelines, it reduces the power generation of the sintering waste heat power generation units.
[0005] In summary, to reduce sintering solid fuel consumption, save energy costs, reduce pollutant emissions, and improve the quality of sintered ore, it is necessary to design a more efficient sintering ring cooling waste heat and flue gas recovery and utilization system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a system and method for the complete recovery and utilization of waste heat from sintering ring coolers.

This achieves efficient and complete recovery and utilization of the waste heat from sintering ring coolers. Furthermore, the generated oxygen-enriched waste gas is used for oxygen-enriched hot air sintering, the generated oxygen-enriched steam-enriched waste gas is used for oxygen-enriched steam-enriched sintering at the material surface, and the generated steam is used to increase the temperature of the sintering mixture and as a steam source for the oxygen-enriched steam-enriched waste gas.

Example
[0030] The present invention includes a flue gas upgrading device 1, a waste heat generator set 2, an oxygen-enriched waste gas pipeline 3, an oxygen-enriched steam-enriched waste gas pipeline 4, a steam pipeline network 5, a demineralized water pipeline network 6, a sintering machine 7, and an annular cooler 8.
[0031] In this embodiment, the upper part of the annular cooler 8 is divided into a high-temperature section 801, a medium-temperature section 802 and a low-temperature section 803 in the direction of operation. A high-temperature section fan hood 804, a medium-temperature section fan hood 805 and a low-temperature section fan hood 806 are installed in each section of the annular cooler.
[0032] In this embodiment, the top of the high-temperature section hood 804 is connected to the waste heat generator set 2 via an air supply pipe, and the approximately 480°C high-temperature waste flue gas from the annular cooling high-temperature section 801 is used for waste heat power generation; the top air outlet of the low-temperature section hood 803 is connected to the bottom air inlet of the medium-temperature section 802 via an air supply pipe, and the approximately 83°C low-temperature waste flue gas from the annular cooling low-temperature section 803 is used as the cooling medium for the sinter in the medium-temperature section 802, and finally generates approximately 180°C annular cooling medium-temperature waste flue gas in the medium-temperature section 802; the top air outlet of the medium-temperature section hood 805 is connected to the flue gas inlet 101 of the flue gas upgrading device 1 via an air supply pipe, and the annular cooling medium-temperature waste flue gas is transported into the flue gas upgrading device 1.

One chamber does not require further treatment of the oxygen-enriched hot exhaust gas; it is directly discharged from the oxygen-enriched hot exhaust gas outlet 113 and transported to the air inlet of the heat-resistant combustion fan 701 through the oxygen-enriched exhaust gas pipeline 3. Ultimately, it is used as the combustion air for the sintering ignition furnace in oxygen-enriched hot air sintering. The other chamber is equipped with a steam injection device 115 at the top, which injects steam... The blowing device 115 blows steam into the oxygen-enriched hot waste gas to obtain oxygen-enriched steam hot waste gas. The temperature of the oxygen-enriched steam hot waste gas is about 172°C, the steam content is about 4.3 wt%, and the oxygen content is about 21.6%. The oxygen-enriched steam hot waste gas is discharged from the oxygen-enriched steam hot waste gas outlet 114 and transported to the sintering sealing cover 703 through the oxygen-enriched steam hot waste gas pipeline 4. Finally, it is blown onto the sintering material surface for oxygen-enriched steam sintering. Preferably, both the oxygen-enriched hot waste gas outlet 113 and the oxygen-enriched steam hot waste gas outlet 114 are equipped with electric regulating valves 116 to regulate the gas output.
[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, the sealing cover 703 provided on the upper part of the sintering machine 7 is installed in the 3 / 10 to 8 / 10 material surface area between the sintering ignition point and the sintering endpoint.

[0039] In this invention, using the above embodiments, the waste heat resources of the annular cooling system are utilized in a tiered manner. High-temperature waste gas from the annular cooling system is used for waste heat power generation. The medium- and low-temperature waste gas from the annular cooling system undergoes a series of upgrading treatments to obtain oxygen-enriched hot waste gas, oxygen-enriched steam-enriched hot waste gas, and steam. The oxygen-enriched hot waste gas is further used as combustion air for oxygen-enriched hot air sintering, and the oxygen-enriched steam-enriched hot waste gas is used for oxygen-enriched steam sintering. The generated steam is used to increase the temperature of the sintering mixture. After adopting this system, the sintering waste heat unit generates approximately 13 MW / h of electricity, reduces energy consumption in the sintering process by approximately 18%, reduces particulate matter emissions by approximately 17%, reduces SO2 emissions by approximately 5%, reduces NOx emissions by approximately 9%, reduces CO emissions by approximately 11%, reduces dioxin emissions by approximately 18%, decreases the sintering return rate by approximately 1.1%, and increases the sintering ore conversion intensity by 2.2%. This effectively improves the combustion efficiency of sintering fuel, reduces energy consumption in the sintering process, saves energy costs, reduces pollutant emissions during the sintering process, and improves the quality of sintered ore.
