Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a dry dust removal system for converter flue gas, belonging to the field of converter flue gas treatment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Steelmaking converter flue gas is the most unique type of flue gas in the metallurgical industry, possessing three main characteristics: high temperature (800–1000℃), high CO content (up to 70%), and high dust concentration (80–150 g / m³). 3 When these three resources are combined, flue gas dust removal becomes a challenge.
[0003] Currently, the wet dust removal processes for converter flue gas used both domestically and internationally all involve water spraying for cooling and purification. These processes include the OG method and the semi-dry method. The difference between these two processes lies in the water spraying method:
[0004] The OG process uses a two-stage Venturi spray system; the semi-dry process uses a spray cooling tower and an annular dust collector. These two processes have different names depending on the state of the furnace dust.
[0005] OG process: Sludge-wastewater state—wet process;
[0006] Semi-dry process: dry powder + sludge / sewage form — semi-dry process.
[0007] The biggest commonality between these two dust removal processes is that they consume water resources and minimize the efficiency of the three major resources of converter flue gas:
[0008] The heat energy of the converter flue gas at 800-1000℃ cannot be recovered; the converter CO gas is converted into water-containing and steam-containing gas; the converter dust loses its original oxide properties and becomes water-containing oxide, which cannot be directly utilized.
[0009] Therefore, the process of dust removal from converter flue gas is a process of wasting valuable converter flue gas resources and a process of consuming water resources.
[0010] This can be expressed mathematically as:
[0011] OG method, semi-dry method = converter flue gas + water = emissions not meeting standards = emissions meeting standards + additional capital investment
[0012] To achieve waste heat recovery from converter flue gas and maximize resource efficiency, a purely dry dust removal process that does not involve water spraying is required.
[0013] The existing problems with dust collectors used in current dust removal processes:
[0014] The dust collectors currently used in the OG process are single-stage and double-stage, which consume a lot of water and electricity, and the dust concentration after purification is >100mg / m³. 3 ;
[0015] The dust collectors used in the current semi-dry process are spray coolers and annular slot dust collectors, which consume a lot of water and electricity, and the dust concentration after purification is 20mg / m³. 3 above.
[0016] Therefore, it is imperative to seek a dust removal system that is water-free, energy-saving, and produces a low dust concentration after purification.
[0017] Currently, the entire steel industry in China is seeking energy conservation, carbon reduction, and emission compliance in converters. For example, using waste heat boilers to cool converter flue gas temperatures can reduce the flue gas temperature from 800–1000℃ to 180–220℃; using flexible membrane dust collectors can achieve highly efficient dust removal, achieving flue gas emissions of <10mg / m³. 3 These advanced technologies meet national emission standards and are protected by patents.
[0018] Due to the special nature of OG and semi-dry dust removal processes, adopting the aforementioned advanced technologies requires replacing the fans with axial flow fans instead of AC fans. Additionally, a gas water cooling system must be configured to ensure that the gas temperature drops below 70°C before entering the gas holder. These factors pose significant obstacles to achieving pure dry cooling of flue gas in OG and semi-dry processes. Summary of the Invention
[0019] The purpose of this invention is to modify and replace the equipment of OG process and semi-dry dust removal process, open up the pure dry flue gas cooling process of OG process and semi-dry process, realize pure dry and clean coal gas collection of OG process and semi-dry process, realize efficient recovery of waste heat of converter flue gas and energy saving of fan, and provide a pure dry dust removal system for converter flue gas.
