Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a system for improving the quality of flue gas waste heat, in particular to a system for improving the quality of low-quality sintering flue gas waste heat, and belongs to the field of sintering waste heat utilization. Background Art

[0002] The energy consumption of sintering process accounts for about 15% of the total energy consumption of steel enterprises, ranking second only to the ironmaking process. At present, the total amount of waste heat resources generated by large and medium-sized steel enterprises in my country for producing 1 ton of sintered ore is about 1.44GJ, but the recovery rate is only 35% to 45%. The waste heat resources are mainly composed of waste heat from sintering ore cooling and sintering flue gas, accounting for 70% and 30% of the total waste heat resources respectively. Among them, the sensible heat of sintered ore is large in quantity and high in quality, while the sensible heat and latent heat of sintering flue gas are small in quantity and low in quality.

[0003] Since 2005, some steel plants have successively recovered the sensible heat of sintered ore for power generation, expanding its utilization space and reducing the energy consumption of the sintering process. However, the current sintered ore cooling mainly adopts the traditional belt cooler or ring cooler based on the principle of high wind fast cooling and one-time loading and unloading cooling. Regardless of the cooling method adopted, the cooler has problems such as high air leakage rate, high fan power consumption, low sensible heat recovery rate, and low boiler thermal efficiency.

[0004] During the movement of the trolley, the flue gas temperature in each sintering bellows is different. For example, the flue gas temperature in the head bellows of the sintering machine is about 120°C, the flue gas temperature in the middle bellows is about 70 to 100°C, and the flue gas temperature in the tail bellows is about 350°C. Generally, conventional sintering flue gas is discharged after desulfurization and denitrification, resulting in a large loss of flue gas waste heat and energy waste. The flue gas circulation sintering process only recycles part of the high-temperature head and tail sintering flue gas, while most of the low-temperature flue gas is discharged, which also causes waste heat. At the same time, sintering uses solid fuels such as coke powder and anthracite as heat sources. The sintering environment causes incomplete combustion, releasing CO and NO into the low-temperature flue gas. Its direct emission not only wastes the latent heat of the flue gas, but also causes environmental pollution. At the same time, a large amount of energy consumption is required in the flue gas treatment process. Therefore, how to efficiently utilize the low-temperature flue gas waste heat has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] In addition, during the cooling process of sintered ore, outside air is often directly introduced into the ring cooler. However, the air temperature is relatively low, which can easily cause rapid cooling of the sintered ore, resulting in reduced sintered ore quality and yield.

[0006] In terms of sinter waste heat treatment and flue gas waste heat utilization, patents CN202110005574.8 and CN202110005673.6 disclose a sintering pre-cooling waste heat efficient utilization system, providing a pre-cooling device, hot sinter cooling and high-quality hot air utilization method, but do not involve the source of cooling air. Patent 201910293230.4 discloses a sintering flue gas waste heat circulation system, which realizes the recycling of high-temperature flue gas waste heat, reduces heat loss, and improves energy utilization, but there is a problem of direct emission of low-temperature flue gas. Patent 201810355829.1 discloses a synergistic treatment process for sinter waste heat and sintering flue gas pollutants. By heat exchange treatment and CO removal between sintering flue gas and sintered ore, the removal and utilization of CO are solved, and the synergistic treatment of sinter waste heat and sintering flue gas pollutants is realized, but there are problems of secondary auxiliary fuel consumption, complicated process flow and incomplete cooling of sintered ore. Utility Model Content

At the same time, in terms of sintering waste heat treatment and flue gas waste heat utilization, the existing technology often has problems such as complicated processes and incomplete cooling of sintered ore. The utility model proposes a method and system for improving the quality of low-quality sintering flue gas waste heat, which passes the low-temperature flue gas in the bellows below the sintering machine into the bottom of the vertical pre-cooling device, and the high-temperature flue gas into the top of the vertical pre-cooling device, so as to achieve the best pre-cooling effect while increasing the flue gas temperature, and at the same time utilize the latent heat in the flue gas to make it a high-quality sintering flue gas that is easy to utilize waste heat.

[0024] According to a second embodiment of the present utility model, a system for upgrading the quality of low-quality sintering flue gas by using waste heat is provided.

[0025] A system for improving the quality of low-quality sintering flue gas by waste heat, the system comprising a sintering machine, a vertical precooling device, and a ring cooler. A tail hood is provided at the rear of the sintering machine, and the bottom of the tail hood is connected to the top of the vertical precooling device. A crushing and unloading device is provided in the tail hood. The ring cooler is arranged below the vertical precooling device. A bellows is provided below the sintering machine, and the bellows are divided into a front bellows and a rear bellows according to the running direction of the sintering machine. The front bellows is connected to the bottom of the vertical precooling device through a first flue. The rear bellows is connected to the tail hood through a second flue.

[0026] Preferably, the system further comprises a middle wind box and a third flue. The front wind box is the wind box of 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the head of the sintering machine, the tail wind box is the wind box of 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 of the tail of the sintering machine, and the rest are middle wind boxes.

[0027] Preferably, the middle wind box is switchably connected to the first flue and the third flue; the third flue is connected to the flue gas purification device.

[0028] Preferably, the system further comprises a waste heat utilization device. An air outlet is provided in the middle of the vertical precooling device, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the waste heat utilization device through a first flue gas delivery pipe. The air outlet of the waste heat utilization device is connected to the third flue through a second flue gas delivery pipe.

[0029] Preferably, a dust removal device is also provided on the first flue gas conveying duct.

[0030] In the utility model, the bellows below the sintering machine are divided into a front bellows and a rear bellows, and the sintering flue gas in the front bellows is sintered and transported to the vertical precooling device. The temperature of the front sintering flue gas is relatively low. After being introduced into the vertical precooling device, it exchanges heat with the sintered ore to increase the temperature of the front sintering flue gas. Since the movement directions of the sintered ore and the sintering flue gas are opposite, countercurrent cooling improves the gas-solid heat exchange efficiency and wind temperature. When the front sintering flue gas runs to the middle of the vertical precooling device, the flue gas temperature can reach 400-450°C, which is converted into high-quality waste heat resources. In addition, the rear sintering flue gas of the rear bellows is introduced into the crushing and unloading device to exchange heat with the crushed sintered ore. The temperature of the tail sintering flue gas is relatively high, which can reach 350°C. After heat exchange with the newly crushed high-temperature sintered ore, the temperature of the sintering flue gas can be further increased. After the heat exchange is completed, it merges with the front sintering flue gas and is discharged from the vertical precooling device to obtain high-quality sintering flue gas. In addition, compared with using cold air to directly cool the sintered ore, the front sintering flue gas can alleviate the rapid cooling of the sintered ore and ensure the quality and yield of the sintered ore. At the same time, the sintered ore is first pre-cooled by the high-temperature rear sintering flue gas, and then pre-cooled by the slightly lower temperature front sintering flue gas. The gradient cooling allows the sintered ore to fully adapt to the temperature of the cooling gas to prevent rapid cooling.

[0031] In the utility model, the bellows below the sintering machine is further divided into a front bellows, a middle bellows and a rear bellows, and the middle sintering flue gas in the middle bellows is introduced into the third flue, thereby increasing the temperature of the front sintering flue gas, further preventing the sintered ore from being rapidly cooled in the vertical precooling device, and increasing the temperature of the high-quality sintering flue gas discharged from the vertical precooling device.

[0032] In the utility model, since the front sintering flue gas contains CO and NO, after entering the vertical precooling device, as the front sintering flue gas moves to the middle and upper part of the vertical precooling device, the flue gas temperature gradually rises, meeting the conditions required for CO combustion, promoting the oxidation and heat release of low-concentration CO in the flue gas, and further increasing the flue gas temperature. In addition, under the catalytic action of Fe2O3, a CO-NO catalytic reduction reaction can also occur locally, reducing NO in the sintering flue gas. x While making full use of the latent heat in the sintering flue gas, the nitrogen oxides in the flue gas are removed, reducing the burden of subsequent flue gas purification. At the same time, the temperature of the flue gas is increased by oxidation heat release to prevent the rapid cooling of the sintered ore.

[0033] In the utility model, after high-quality sintering flue gas is discharged, particulate matter in the flue gas is removed by a dust removal device, and then sent to a waste heat utilization process to recover the waste heat of the high-temperature flue gas, thereby improving the waste heat recovery rate and solving the problem that the sintering flue gas temperature is low and waste heat cannot be recovered.

[0034] In the present invention, in order to ensure the stable operation of the vertical precooling device, realize the normal reaction of CO and NO in the vertical precooling device, increase the temperature of the sintering flue gas, detect the temperature of each area in the vertical precooling device, and change the flow rate and temperature of the sintering flue gas in the vertical precooling device by controlling the flow rate of the front sintering flue gas and the rear sintering flue gas, so as to make the temperature in the vertical precooling device within the set range. Preferably, in order to ensure the cooling effect of the sintered ore, the present invention realizes efficient and high-quality cooling of the sintered ore by detecting the particle size composition and drum strength of the sintered ore discharged from the vertical precooling device, and controlling the flow rate and temperature of the sintering flue gas in the vertical precooling device, wherein the flue gas flow rate and temperature in the vertical precooling device are changed by controlling the flow rate of the front sintering flue gas and the rear sintering flue gas. Further preferably, in order to meet the demand for the temperature of the sintering flue gas for subsequent waste heat utilization, the temperature of the high-quality sintering flue gas is detected, and the flow rate of the front sintering flue gas and the rear sintering flue gas is controlled to make the temperature of the high-quality sintering flue gas within the optimal range.

[0035] In the utility model, in the process of changing the sintering flue gas in the vertical precooling device by controlling the flow rate of the front sintering flue gas and the rear sintering flue gas, the first control sequence is to increase or decrease the number of the front bellows or the bellows valve opening, and the second control sequence is to increase or decrease the number of the rear bellows or the bellows valve opening.

[0036] In the present utility model, by using the front sintering flue gas and the rear sintering flue gas, while cooling the sintered ore, the temperature of the sintering flue gas is increased to obtain high-quality sintering flue gas that can be used for waste heat utilization, fully utilizing the sensible heat in the sintering flue gas, increasing the waste heat recovery efficiency, and realizing the efficient recovery and quality improvement and efficiency increase of the sintering flue gas waste heat. At the same time, CO and NO in the sintering flue gas are purified, realizing the latent heat recovery utilization and the ultimate energy efficiency, generally reducing the pollutant emissions, reducing the cost of subsequent flue gas treatment, and also having the effect of preventing the rapid cooling of the sintered ore and improving the performance of the cooled sintered ore.

[0037] In the present utility model, regarding the value range of the high-quality sintering flue gas flow rate Q3, generally, q1 < q2 < q3 < q4 < q5 < q6 holds. When there are situations such as q4 > q5, the value range of Q3 is q3~q4∩q2~q5, thereby accurately controlling the flow rate of the high-quality sintering flue gas and regulating the flow rates of the front sintering flue gas and the rear sintering flue gas.

[0038] In the present utility model, while retaining the annular cooler, a vertical pre-cooling device is newly added to pre-cool the sintered ore, with high heat exchange efficiency, which can reduce the cooling air volume in the annular cooler and appropriately reduce the area of the annular cooler.

[0039] In the present utility model, the sintering machine includes 12 - 48 wind boxes, preferably 16 - 42 wind boxes, more preferably 18 - 36 wind boxes, and further preferably 20 - 32 wind boxes. The height of the vertical cooling device is 2 - 30 m, preferably 5 - 25 m, and more preferably 6 - 20 m.

[0079] Example 6

[0080] The system described in Example 5 is used to treat the sintering flue gas:

[0081] 1) The sintered material is sintered on the sintering machine, discharged from the crushing and unloading device at the tail of the sintering machine, and enters the vertical pre-cooling device for cooling, and finally enters the ring cooler for cooling. After cooling, the finished sintered ore is obtained;

[0082] 2) There are 21 bellows under the sintering machine. The properties of the flue gas in the bellows are detected. Bellows 1-13 are divided into front bellows, bellows 14-17 are divided into middle bellows, and bellows 18-21 are divided into rear bellows. The rear sintering flue gas is introduced into the crushing and unloading device, where it exchanges heat with the crushed sintered ore. The front sintering flue gas is sent to the vertical precooling device for heat exchange with the sintered ore. After the heat exchange, the front sintering flue gas merges with the rear sintering flue gas and is discharged from the vertical precooling device to obtain high-quality sintering flue gas.

[0083] 3) The high-quality sintering flue gas is sent to the waste heat utilization process after the dust removal process and discharged after the waste heat utilization is completed.

After cooling, the finished sintered ore is obtained;

[0087] 2) There are 21 bellows under the sintering machine. The properties of the flue gas in the bellows are detected. Bellows 1-13 are divided into front bellows, bellows 14-17 are divided into middle bellows, and bellows 18-21 are divided into rear bellows.
