Abstract

The present invention belongs to the field of steel production, and relates to a method of replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel in an oxygen top blown converter. The invention is characterized in that the limestone is directly added during slagging in the steel production process. The added batch number is increased and the amount of each batch of material is reduced. Namely the lime is added by 1-3 times for slagging formerly, and when the limestone is added for slagging, the limestone is added by 4-8 times. The adding amount of each time, calculated according to the CaO therein, is 1/2-1/3 of lime added formerly and is for preventing the condensing and incrusting at the metal surface in the furnace in the early period of converting. The adding amount of limestone, calculated according to CaO therein, accounts for 30%-100% of adding amount of lime in the batch. The method of the invention has the main advantages of elimination of lime calcining procedure or reduction of production scale, reduction of cost required for operating the calcining device and reducing the discharged pollution, prevention of heat waste caused by cooling the lime after calcining, low sulfur content in the lime generated in the oxygen top blown converter, and benefit for restraining resulfurization of melted iron in the steel production process.

Description

A kind of method of in top-blown oxygen converter, using replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel

Technical field

The invention belongs to the converter steelmaking field, relate to a kind of method of in top-blown oxygen converter, using replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel.

Background technology

Oxygen top blown converter steel making is a process of forcing impurity element in oxygen supply, the rapid oxidation removal molten iron, leaning on elemental oxygen heat-transmission heating molten steel raising temperature, needs to add the lime slag making in stove, to remove the impurity element phosphorus in the molten iron.

Lime is the product that is formed through calcining by Wingdale, generally will be heated to Wingdale more than 1200 ℃ in the production, and calcination process carries out a few hours, and Wingdale (lime carbonate) decomposes therebetween, effusion CO ₂And become lime (calcium oxide).After burning till and come out of the stove, carrying by lime a large amount of physics heat, cool to the temperature that is suitable for transporting and just can transport steelworks to, it absorbs a large amount of heat again and is elevated to temperature of reaction again and lime is joined in the top-blown oxygen converter back, the final bits that generate are consistent with liquid steel temperature, about about 1600 ℃.This shows that with respect to also will reheat intensification in top-blown oxygen converter, a large amount of physics heat that lime had that calcining generates has wasted.

Why in oxygen top blown converter steel making, only add lime and do not add Wingdale, not record in the steel-making document in past, logical supposition is, at the beginning of the invention of converter of basic lining method for making steel and between last 100 years afterwards, the air oxygen supply is adopted in converter steelmaking, heat is not rich in the converter, directly add Wingdale decomposition in stove and can absorb a lot of heat and the furnace temperature that is difficult to raise, influence is normal smelts and cast, so all be in advance limestone calcination to be become lime, and then join in the converter.But converter steelmaking is adopted after the pure oxygen blowing, the heat that reaction in furnace produced is more than needed for furnace temperature being elevated to tapping temperature, to add steel scrap and pig iron fusing heat absorption toward contact in the converter for this reason, to consume this part heat, its add-on can reach 30% of whole amounts of metal at most, and, also in stove, add Wingdale or rhombspar absorbing and cooling temperature when blowing when the later stage, furnace temperature was too high.Therefore can think that the insufficient problem of furnace heat that restriction originally directly adds Wingdale has not existed, and considers from the angle of energy-saving and emission-reduction, can directly add the Wingdale slag making when oxygen top blown converter steel making.

Summary of the invention

Main purpose of the present invention is directly to add Wingdale in the oxygen top blown converter steel making process, cancel the lime calcining operation or reduce the lime industrial scale, reduce the operation of lime calcining equipment and administer the required expense of pollution, avoid calcining the heat waste that back lime cooling causes.

A kind of method that in top-blown oxygen converter, adds replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel, directly add Wingdale when it is characterized in that in steelmaking process slag making desiliconization, dephosphorization, and do not add or add less lime, the adding lot number of original oxygen top blown converter steel making process neutral and alkali slag former is increased, reduce the adding quantity of every batch of material; The slag making of promptly original adding lime, generally lime is divided into 1-3 adding, when adding the Wingdale slag making, to be divided into 4-8 adding to Wingdale, each add-on is calculated according to CaO wherein, 1/2-1/3 during for adding lime is to avoid at top-blown oxygen converter blowing initial stage stove inner metal surface condensation crust; The adding total amount of Wingdale is calculated according to wherein CaO, account for this heat lime add total amount 30% to 100% between; In fusion process, should reduce the adding of other cold iron source raw materials in addition.This is the maximum difference that the present invention and original top-blown oxygen converter add lime slagging and producing steel method.

Top-blown oxygen converter adds the replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel method following many advantages:

(1) heats up from joining in the top-blown oxygen converter again after limestone calcination becomes lime, experienced the process of heat of heat-cooling-again, if Wingdale is directly dropped into top-blown oxygen converter, participate in the slagging reaction while calcining, can avoid calcining the heat waste that back lime cooling causes, only be equivalent to experience first high-temperature heating process, save the energy and reduce discharging CO ₂

(2) therefore can cancel the lime calcining operation or reduce the lime industrial scale in the iron and steel enterprise, reduce the operation of lime calcining equipment and reduce discharging and pollute required expense;

(3) limestone calcination becomes lime to need a few hours, and can finish in several minutes in top-blown oxygen converter, and heat utilization efficiency and production efficiency improve, save energy and cost;

(4) the lime production process has the dust generation to pollute, if in top-blown oxygen converter, calcine under the intensively stirred atmosphere of slag-steel, the lime dust that produces can and participate in reaction in furnace by bits and a molten steel absorption part, and do not have the limestone calcination stove to use the dust that fuel combustion produced, reduce and pollute;

(5) Wingdale directly calcining use in top-blown oxygen converter, the anxiety of the lime moisture absorption in nothing transportation, the process of banking up, carbonating, quality deterioration has reduced the lime storage cost.

(6) Wingdale because of the inhomogeneous lime product burning that causes easily of being heated, causes itself and slag reactive activity to reduce, and calcines in top-blown oxygen converter when calcining, participates in slagging reaction, the anxiety of no burning after the decomposition of limestone immediately;

(7) Wingdale is calcined the byproduct CO that produces in top-blown oxygen converter ₂Can be used as a part of oxygen source of steel-making, reduce the usage quantity of pure oxygen in the steelmaking process;

(8) fuel of limestone calcination stove use more or less all contains sulphur, lime absorbs sulphur easily and becomes sulfur-bearing lime, in contrast to this, Wingdale is calcined the lime that generates in top-blown oxygen converter can not be infected with these sulphur, therefore the sulphur content in the slag is low after the slagging, and to return sulphur favourable to suppressing the steelmaking process molten iron;

(9) not have anxiety, the sulphur content of burning low for the lime that calcining generates in top-blown oxygen converter, meets the fine fodder principle that present steel industry scale operation is advocated.

In sum, top-blown oxygen converter adding replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel method will be brought huge environment, economic and social benefit.

Yet, add replacing lime with limestone for slagging and producing steel, will inevitably reduce the steel scrap amount that can melt in the top-blown oxygen converter, and as if melting waste steel can improve output easily, can boost productivity.But from the viewpoint of making the best use of everything, steel scrap is an employed highest source of iron in the STEELMAKING PRODUCTION, with respect to the pig iron and molten iron, pure and contain alloying element, thereby in market in the error-free running period, steel scrap should be high more a lot of than the price of the molten iron and the pig iron, thus in the production process that with the molten iron is raw material, use steel scrap and uneconomical, and preferably adopt non-oxide method melting steel scrap in electric arc furnace to obtain maximum value.In addition, do not add steel scrap and change the adding molten iron into, can produce more heat in the stove, and can not reduce productivity.
