[0031] Vanadium-containing molten iron from blast furnaces, after desulfurization, enters a converter for vanadium extraction. Vanadium (V) is a transition metal element and an extremely important industrial raw material. Due to its excellent strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance, it is widely used in the iron, chemical, aerospace, electronics, biological, and agricultural fields. Vanadium is widely distributed in nature, accounting for approximately 0.02% of the Earth's crust by mass; however, its distribution is extremely dispersed, mainly occurring as an associated mineral with vanadium sulfate, lead-vanadium, vanadium marble, uranium vanadate, and vanadium-titanium magnetite. During the mining and processing of these ores, vanadium is recovered as a co-product or byproduct. Vanadium-titanium magnetite is the main mineral resource of vanadium, which is associated with iron and titanium. Generally, it is smelted into molten iron and then oxidized and blown to obtain vanadium slag, which is the main raw material for producing vanadium products. The process of producing vanadium slag is called vanadium extraction.

[0032] Currently, the main vanadium extraction processes include atomization vanadium extraction, sodium vanadium extraction, bottom-blown air vanadium extraction, side-blown air vanadium extraction, top-blown oxygen vanadium extraction, and top-bottom combined blowing vanadium extraction. Each has its own characteristics, but all suffer from drawbacks such as a long extraction cycle, high iron content in vanadium slag, and low vanadium oxidation rate, which to some extent affect the yield and quality of vanadium slag. To improve these processes, a side-blowing device is added to the top-bottom combined blowing converter vanadium extraction process. This side-blowing device involves installing side-blowing bricks in the converter lining during converter repair. Gas is supplied to the molten pool through the side-blowing bricks, and inert gas is blown into the molten pool through a combination of top, bottom, and side blowing to achieve thorough stirring of the molten pool, improve the kinetics of the molten pool reaction, reduce residual vanadium in the semi-steel, increase residual carbon in the semi-steel, reduce the carbon content in the vanadium slag, and improve the grade of the vanadium slag, thus achieving the goal of vanadium removal and carbon retention.

[0033] One of the key components of a vanadium-extraction converter is the oxygen lance nozzle. The oxygen lance is a tubular device that blows high-pressure, high-purity oxygen at supersonic speeds above the molten metal pool inside the converter, and it is equipped with a high-pressure water cooling protection system. It is also called a spray gun. It is an important piece of equipment in oxygen top-blown steelmaking.

[0034] The structure and performance of the oxygen lance largely determine the effectiveness of oxygen steelmaking. Especially in top-blown oxygen converter steelmaking, the oxygen lance plays a dominant role. It controls crucial process factors such as the contact area between the oxygen jet and the molten pool, the penetration depth of the oxygen jet, the stirring state of the molten pool, the degree of oxidation of elements, the heating rate of the molten pool, and the iron oxide content in the slag. Therefore, it plays a vital role in slag formation, splashing, impurity removal, converter steelmaking endpoint control, and various technical and economic indicators of steelmaking. The oxygen lance consists of three parts: the nozzle, the lance body, and the lance tail. The nozzle, made of industrial pure copper, is the most important part of the oxygen lance.

[0035] Figure 1The utility model discloses a kind of oxygen lance nozzle and the cross section schematic diagram of vanadium extraction converter for 120 tons for the utility model discloses a kind of oxygen lance nozzle and the cross section schematic diagram of vanadium extraction converter for 120 tons.

[0036] As Figure 1 Indicated, first aspect, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a kind of oxygen lance nozzle for 120 tons of vanadium extraction converter, comprising: lance body 1 and spray hole 2, the cavity 11 is opened in the lance body 1;The spray hole 2 is venturi tube shape, is opened in the front of lance body 1, for spraying oxygen, wherein, the middle narrow part of the spray hole 2 is throat portion 21.

[0037] Specifically, in the field of steel metallurgy, vanadium extraction converter is often used.This paper is preferably used for 120 tons of vanadium extraction converter.The vanadium extraction converter includes oxygen lance nozzle.Spray hole 2 is opened in the cavity 11 in lance body 1.The spray hole 2 is long strip shape, its shape is venturi tube shape, or similar shape of wide front and back and narrow middle, the middle narrow part is also called throat portion 21.This design can improve the injection speed of oxygen, improve oxygen flow.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, lance body 1 includes: outer tube 12, oxygen tube 13 and middle layer pipe 14 between outer tube 12 and oxygen tube 13.

[0039] Specifically, lance body 1 is composed of three pipe segments of outer tube 12, oxygen tube 13 and middle layer pipe 14.The width and length of three pipe segments can be different or same.Among them, lance body 1 can adopt injection molding.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the size of outer tube is φ219 × 9mm, the size of oxygen tube is φ133 × 6mm, and the size of middle layer pipe is φ180 × 7mm.

[0041] Specifically, the size of lance body 1 of oxygen lance adopted in the present application can meet the requirements of oxygen lance nozzle.Optimally, the size described above is adopted, and the length of lance body 1 is 340mm, and the length of nozzle part of lance body 1 is 225mm.The included angle of spray hole 2 is 10 °, the throat diameter of spray hole 2 is 41mm, and the outlet diameter is 53.3mm, and all have tolerance.This can improve the stability of lance body 1.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the diameter of throat portion 21 is 40-44mm.The diameter of throat portion is preferably 41mm.The diameter at the outlet of spray hole is 42-54mm.The diameter at the outlet of spray hole is 53.3mm.The pressure of oxygen is 0.75MPa, and the flow of oxygen is 19500m 3 / h.The number of spray holes is 3, and the included angle between the center line of each spray hole and the center line of oxygen tube is 8 °-16 °.

[0043] Specifically, in the existing conventional oxygen lance, the throat diameter of the nozzle is generally less than 40 mm, for example, 39 mm is adopted, and the diameter of the outlet of the injection hole is 50 mm. The number of the injection holes is 3, and the injection hole angle is preferably 10°. The diameter of the throat portion 21 and the diameter of the outlet of the injection hole are both increased. For example, the diameter of the throat portion 21 is 41 mm, and the diameter of the outlet of the injection hole is 53.3 mm. This increases the oxygen flow (from the original 17500 m 3 / h to 19500 m 3 / h), shortens the oxygen blowing time of the vanadium extraction converter (30 s), shortens the smelting time of the vanadium extraction converter, improves the production efficiency of the vanadium extraction converter, and reduces the production cost.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the 339 oxygen lance is widely used in a 120-ton vanadium extraction converter, which is applied to a 120-ton converter, 3 holes, the throat diameter of the nozzle is 39 mm, the outlet diameter is 50 mm, the injection hole angle is 10°, and the outlet Mach number is 1.86Ma. The oxygen blowing pressure is 0.75 MPa, the oxygen flow is 17500 m 3 / h, and the average oxygen blowing time per furnace is 325 s. The oxygen lance is used for small carbon burn-off, low residual vanadium in semi-steel, and high vanadium pentoxide content in vanadium slag, so the 339 oxygen lance is widely used.

[0045] With the increase of the amount of molten iron for vanadium extraction, especially during the maintenance of the vanadium extraction furnace, the contradiction of insufficient production capacity of the vanadium extraction converter is prominent, and it is necessary to speed up the vanadium extraction speed and reduce the vanadium extraction process time. The 341 oxygen lance for the converter is proposed, which retains the hole type and angle of the 339 oxygen lance, and expands the throat diameter and outlet diameter. The parameters of the oxygen lance are as follows: the number of holes is 3, the throat diameter is 41 mm, the outlet diameter is 53.3 mm, the injection hole angle is 10°, and the outlet Mach number is 1.86Ma. The oxygen blowing pressure is 0.75 MPa, and the oxygen flow is 19500 m 3 / h. The new 341 oxygen lance for vanadium extraction inherits the advantages of small carbon burn-off, low residual vanadium in semi-steel, and high vanadium pentoxide content in vanadium slag. The oxygen blowing time per furnace is shortened by 25 seconds, from the original 325 s to 300 s, which shortens the vanadium extraction process time and improves the vanadium extraction treatment capacity.

[0046] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a vanadium extraction converter comprising the aforementioned oxygen lance nozzle.

[0047] Specifically, the vanadium extraction converter has all the features of the oxygen lance nozzle, and also has the corresponding effects of shortening the smelting time of the vanadium extraction converter and improving the production efficiency of the vanadium extraction converter.
