Therefore, the invention aims to provide a novel process and a novel system for conveying bed smelting of medium-low-order coal gasification reduced gas, which have the advantages of high production efficiency, low reduced gas preparation cost and the like.
To this end, in a first aspect of the invention, the invention proposes a method for ore fines reduction, comprising: reacting coal, steam and oxygen in a gasification reactor to obtain a reducing gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen; reacting the reducing gas with the ore powder in a conveying bed reduction reactor so as to obtain a reduction product and reduction exhaust gas; purifying the reduction exhaust gas to obtain purified reduction exhaust gas; and introducing the purified reducing exhaust gas into the transport bed reduction reactor.
The method can directly reduce the mineral powder, and saves the working procedures of high pollution and high efficiency, such as sintering, pellet preparation and the like, thereby saving a large amount of capital investment and operation cost. And the raw material coal for preparing the reducing gas by the method can adopt medium and low rank coal, so that the preparation cost of the reducing gas is obviously reduced. In addition, the method purifies the reduction exhaust gas used for reducing the ore powder, and leads the carbon monoxide and the hydrogen which do not participate in the reduction reaction back to the conveying bed reduction reactor to be continuously used for reducing the ore powder, thereby avoiding the waste of the reduction gas. Therefore, the method for reducing the ore powder reduces the preparation cost of the reducing gas and further improves the reduction efficiency of the ore powder.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the coal is at least one selected from medium and low rank coals such as lignite, long flame coal, and subbituminous coal. Thereby reducing the cost of producing the reducing gas.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the gasification temperature in the gasification reactor is 750-1100 ℃, and the gasification pressure is more than 0.3 MPa. This increases the efficiency of the production of the reducing gas, so that the efficiency of the reduction of the ore fines is increased further.

When other gasification reactors are used, it is not suitable to use medium-low rank coals to obtain a reducing gas satisfying the above conditions due to the limitations of the gasification reactors themselves. Therefore, the cost performance of the reduction of the mineral powder by using the reducing gas generated by other gasification reactors is far lower than that of the reduction by using a fixed bed, a fluidized bed and a conveying bed.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the ore fines reduction process first comprises: coal, steam and oxygen are reacted in a gasification reactor to obtain a reducing gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Whereby a reducing gas can be produced.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the type of coal used for the production of the reducing gas is not particularly limited, and according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the coal may be at least one selected from medium and low rank coals such as lignite, long flame coal, and subbituminous coal. Thereby reducing the cost of producing the reducing gas. The energy distribution characteristics of China are 'oil shortage, gas shortage and coal enrichment', so the traditional process method is not suitable for the national situation of China, the coal reserves of China are in the third world, the yield is in the first world, the medium and low-rank coal reserves account for more than 40% of the total reserves of coal resources, and the annual output at present accounts for about 30% of the total reserves of the national coal, so that the development and utilization of the medium and low-rank coal can be expanded, the coal resources of China can be reasonably applied, and meanwhile, the cost can be remarkably saved and the resource utilization rate can be improved by utilizing the medium and low-rank coal to prepare the reducing gas.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the gasification temperature in the gasification reactor in the fine ore reduction method is not particularly limited, and according to an embodiment of the present invention, the temperature may be 750 to 1100 degrees celsius, and the gasification pressure may be 0.3MPa is above. This increases the efficiency of the production of the reducing gas, so that the efficiency of the reduction of the ore fines is increased further. The type of gasification reactor according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited, and according to a specific example of the present method, the gasification reactor may be at least one selected from the group consisting of a fixed bed, a fluidized bed, and a transport bed. The inventors have surprisingly found that only when using fixed, fluidized and transport beds, it is possible to use medium-low rank coals to obtain a reducing gas which can be effectively used for the reduction treatment of ore fines, i.e. the composition of the reducing gas meets the following requirements: h2/CO>0.5,(H2+CO)/(H2O+CO2)>10,3%<CH4<15%,N2<10%,1%≤CO2Less than or equal to 3 percent. When other gasification reactors are used, it is not suitable to use medium-low rank coals to obtain a reducing gas satisfying the above conditions due to the limitations of the gasification reactors themselves. Therefore, the cost performance of the reduction of the mineral powder by using the reducing gas generated by other gasification reactors is far lower than that of the reduction by using a fixed bed, a fluidized bed and a conveying bed. Thereby improving the efficiency of producing the reducing gas to further improve the reduction efficiency of the ore powder. According to an embodiment of the present invention, coal, steam and oxygen may be reacted in a gasification reactor under the above conditions to produce a reducing gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

The reduction efficiency of the ore fines can thus be further increased by means of the reducing gas. The inventors have surprisingly found that, when a reducing gas composition of this proportion is used, the ore fines can be effectively subjected to a reduction treatment with the reducing gas. When a reducing gas that does not satisfy this condition is used, the efficiency of reducing the ore fines is significantly reduced.
Specifically, the above-mentioned reducing gas obtained can be controlled by controlling the ratio of the coal, the steam and the oxygen added, as well as the specific reduction reactor and the process parameters thereof, so as to improve the reduction efficiency of the reducing gas on the ore powder.

According to the specific embodiment of the invention, the reduction exhaust gas after heat exchange treatment needs to be preheated and then returned to the conveying bed reduction reactor. Therefore, the reduction efficiency can be prevented from being reduced due to the fact that the temperature of the conveying bed reduction reactor is reduced after the purified reduction exhaust gas enters the conveying bed reduction reactor. Thereby improving the reduction efficiency of the mineral powder.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the cleaned reducing exhaust gas is preheated in a furnace before it is introduced into the transport-bed reduction reactor, wherein the furnace can use a part of the cleaned reducing exhaust gas as fuel, so that the temperature in the transport-bed reduction reactor can be prevented from being lowered by the temperature of the cleaned reducing exhaust gas, and the reduction efficiency of the ore dust can be further increased.

According to the embodiment of the invention, after the ore powder is subjected to reduction treatment by using the reducing gas, a large amount of reducing gas remains in the generated reducing exhaust gas, and the part of the reducing exhaust gas can be purified and then returned to reduce the ore powder. The term "purification" as used herein means that components unsuitable for the reduction treatment, mainly sulfur-containing compounds and carbon-containing compounds, in the reduction exhaust gas are removed, and thus the desulfurization and decarburization apparatus 300 mainly performs the desulfurization and decarburization treatment.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the gasification temperature in the gasification reactor 100 is not particularly limited, and according to an embodiment of the present invention, the gasification temperature may be 750 to 1100 degrees celsius, and the gasification pressure may be 0.3MPa or more.

When a reducing gas that does not satisfy this condition is used, the efficiency of reducing the ore fines is significantly reduced.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the gasification reactor is at least one selected from the group consisting of a fixed bed, a fluidized bed and a transport bed. Thereby improving the efficiency of producing the reducing gas to further improve the reduction efficiency of the ore powder. The inventors have surprisingly found that only when using fixed, fluidized and transport beds, it is possible to use medium-low rank coals to obtain a reducing gas which can be effectively used for the reduction treatment of ore fines, i.e. the composition of the reducing gas meets the following requirements: h2/CO>0.5,(H2+CO)/(H2O+CO2)>10,3%<CH4<15%,N2<10%,1%≤CO2Less than or equal to 3 percent.
