Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steelmaking technology in iron and steel metallurgy, and particularly relates to a particle blowing dephosphorization device for oxygen lance at the furnace door of an electric arc furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Modern electric arc furnace (EAF) smelting technology has developed around the core goal of shortening the time required for green, efficient, and low-consumption production in EAFs. Currently, the primary method in EAF steelmaking is the use of basic electric arc furnaces. The addition of lime promotes slag formation within the furnace. The layer of oxides and silicates formed on the slag surface primarily protects the molten steel from oxidation. Furthermore, the addition of lime increases the basicity and melting point of the slag, making it easier to form and stabilize, thus protecting the molten steel from contamination. Lime also regulates the balance of chemical reactions within the furnace, improving the quality of the molten steel. Specifically, lime reacts with oxides in the slag to form relatively stable calcium silicate. This promotes oxidation reactions within the furnace, reduces impurities and oxide content, and improves the quality of the molten steel.
[0003] Currently, electric arc furnace steelmaking processes commonly use high-level silos to add "lump materials" and "batch materials" to the molten steel pool. The disadvantages of using "lump materials" are a longer melting time, lower reaction efficiency, and lower material utilization rate. To a certain extent, this can no longer meet the actual needs of the metallurgical industry for green, efficient, and low-consumption production. Due to the size of the lumps, the reaction interface is somewhat limited when "lump materials" and "batch materials" are added to the molten steel pool, which to some extent affects the rapid progress of various reactions during the smelting process. Another disadvantage of adding batch materials is that once a pile of material forms in the furnace and covers the slag, it may cause the oxygen lance jet to backflush and leak water if it approaches the oxygen lance, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a particulate dephosphorization device for oxygen lance at the furnace door of an electric arc furnace. This device can effectively expand the reaction interface between slag and lime during steelmaking and smelting, rapidly increase the basicity of the slag, facilitate the rapid dephosphorization reaction, and effectively reduce lime consumption.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a particle blowing dephosphorization device for oxygen lance at the furnace door of an electric arc furnace, including an electric furnace body, a furnace door oxygen lance, a powder injection auxiliary lance, a powder injection tank and a pressurized gas source.
[0006] The oxygen lance at the furnace door is installed on the electric furnace body. A powder injection auxiliary lance is arranged parallel to the oxygen lance at the furnace door. The outlet ends of the oxygen lance at the furnace door and the powder injection auxiliary lance are flush. Setting the outlet ends of the oxygen lance at the furnace door and the powder injection auxiliary lance together facilitates installation and ensures that the material is within the jet range of the oxygen lance after being sprayed out, thereby accelerating the reaction efficiency.
[0007] The pressurized air source is connected to the powder spraying tank through a pressurized pipeline. The powder spraying tank is used to hold lime powder. A pressurized valve is installed on the pressurized pipeline.
[0008] The powder spraying tank is equipped with a feed valve at the inlet and a lime powder control valve at the outlet. The powder spraying auxiliary gun is connected to the lime powder control valve through a spraying pipe.
[0009] The jetting pipe is equipped with a gas source control valve.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a feeding hopper connected to a feed valve is provided above the powder spraying tank, thereby facilitating the addition of lime powder into the powder spraying tank.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a grate is provided at the inlet of the feeding hopper to filter out large particles in the lime powder and prevent clogging of the spray pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the gaps in the grate are less than 5mm to prevent lime particles larger than 5mm from clogging the pipeline during the spraying process.
[0013] Preferably, the powder spraying tank is equipped with a stirring device to ensure uniform powder feeding during spraying.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the blowing pipe is connected to a pressurized gas source via a purging pipe. A purging control valve is provided on the purging pipe to prevent lime powder from clogging the powder spraying gun when blowing stops. When the powder spraying gun is clogged by lime powder, the purging control valve is opened to inject pressurized gas into the blowing pipe to purge the powder spraying gun.
[0015] Preferably, the powder spraying tank is equipped with a pressure relief valve to prevent excessive pressure inside the powder spraying tank from being caused by blockage of the spraying pipeline, which could lead to danger.
[0016] Preferably, the pressurized air source of this utility model is nitrogen gas with a pressure greater than 0.6 MPa, to prevent lime particles from absorbing moisture and pulverizing. High air moisture content can cause lime powder to clump together, affecting normal material feeding.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the water-cooling pipes of the oxygen lance at the furnace door and the water-cooling pipes of the powder injection auxiliary lance are connected, thus sharing a common water-cooling system.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the oxygen lance of the furnace door is hinged to the furnace body of the electric furnace and is used to adjust the position and angle of the spray, thereby spraying lime powder more evenly onto the surface of the molten steel.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets up a powder injection auxiliary lance parallel to the oxygen lance at the furnace door, and sets the outlet ends of the oxygen lance at the furnace door and the powder injection auxiliary lance flush; pressurizing the powder injection tank with a pressurized air source to maintain positive pressure inside the tank and ensure smooth feeding of lime powder; the lime powder in the powder injection tank enters the powder injection auxiliary lance through the injection pipe and enters the electric furnace body together with oxygen for injection dephosphorization. Through the above device, the reaction area between the solvent and the molten steel can be expanded, the interfacial reaction can be strengthened, the slag basicity can be quickly adjusted, and the dephosphorization reaction can be promoted rapidly.

The outlet ends of the oxygen lance 2 and the powder injection auxiliary lance 3 are flush. The oxygen lance 2 at the furnace door is hinged to the electric furnace body 1 and is connected to the oxygen supply system.

[0036] In this invention, the high-speed jet of the oxygen lance microparticle blowing dephosphorization device at the furnace door of the electric arc furnace provides certain kinetic conditions for the reaction inside the furnace, which is beneficial for rapid slag formation and dephosphorization in the early stage of smelting.

[0038] This invention is suitable for multi-component furnace charge structures, not only for all-cold charge smelting, but also for situations where a high proportion of molten iron or pig iron is added, or for smelting low-phosphorus varieties. It effectively stabilizes and controls the final phosphorus content, shortens the smelting cycle, and improves production efficiency. It completely solves the problem of material piling up inside the lime furnace, eliminates water leakage from oxygen lance jet backflushing, and achieves inherently safe production.
