Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen-enriched low-carbon smelting in blast furnaces in the steel metallurgical process, and more particularly to a hydrogen-enriched blast furnace ironmaking system based on energy-mass conversion and its production control method. [Background technology]

[0002] Coke and pulverized coal are important sources of heat and reducing agent in the blast furnace steelmaking process. Until now, the average coke ratio per ton of steel in China's steelmaking process was 355.48 kg, and the coal ratio was more than 150 kg. However, global inflationary pressures have continued to rise, and major commodity markets both inside and outside China have been fluctuating sharply. Prices of blast furnace smelting raw materials, particularly caking coal and coke, have risen sharply, significantly impacting production costs in the blast furnace steelmaking process and making operations more difficult for steel companies. At the same time, China has made strategic decisions to address climate change, setting the strategic goals of "carbon neutrality" and "peak carbon dioxide emissions." The steel industry is now facing the constraints of energy assessment targets that require "controlling the total amount and intensity of energy consumption." Furthermore, with the continuous improvement of carbon emissions trading rules and markets across China, steel companies are also seeking to be incorporated into the carbon emissions trading market. Companies with high carbon emissions per unit of product will face even higher carbon and energy usage costs.

[0003] China is the world's largest manufacturer of solar and wind power. In recent years, policies for the solar and wind power industries have been improved, their scale has expanded, and technology has continued to evolve. As a result, the cost of generating electricity from new energy sources has continued to decrease, and in some areas it is even lower than the cost of generating electricity from conventional energy sources. However, structural contradictions between the supply and demand sides of new energy generation have become more pronounced, resulting in the problem of "power wastage due to wind power." During times when new energy generation is concentrated, thermal power generation units in some areas lack the peak shifting function, which affects the safe operation of the power grid and further widens the price gap between peak and valley electricity prices.

[0004] As a clean energy source, hydrogen-enriched blast furnace smelting technology can partially replace the carbonaceous raw materials used in blast furnace smelting, effectively reducing carbon emissions in the steelmaking process and significantly improving the blast furnace's effective utilization factor, achieving significant energy-saving and carbon-reduction effects. How to use new clean electricity or inexpensive electricity during the valley period to perform energy mass conversion to provide a carbon-free reducing agent and heat source for the blast furnace, combined with the corresponding production control process, optimizes the control of hydrogen production power and hydrogen injection volume, achieving a highly efficient and low-cost steelmaking method, and improving the ecological and production management issues caused by the coal-based energy structure, is of great significance for promoting the structural transformation and upgrading of the steel industry.
