Following examples are implemented under premised on technical solution of the present invention, give detailed implementation method and tool The operating process of body, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited to following embodiments.Method therefor is such as without spy in following embodiments Do not mentionlet alone and bright be conventional method.
【Embodiment】
As shown in figure 1, in the present embodiment, sampling process is the edge on the central plane of COREX melting gasification furnaces air port 2 The radial direction of COREX melting gasification furnaces 1, is sampled from air port 2 to the center of COREX melting gasification furnaces 1 using tuyere p robing device 3, The tuyere p robing machine that tuyere p robing device is developed using Baosteel, its sampling end is tubulose, is provided with multiple sampling grooves 4 along longitudinal direction thereon, Once multiple sample points can be sampled;The length of sampling groove 4 is L.
In the present embodiment, 5 groups of acquired air port coke specimen number consecutivelies are 1#~5#, and corresponding sample point is away from air port Distance respectively S1=0.25m;S2=0.75m;S3=1.25m;S4=1.75m;S5=2.25m.
5 groups of voidages of whole granularities of air port coke specimen are calculated by the method for the invention, result of calculation see the table below:
It is according to Archimedes principle, in known vessel volume, by being added that the voidage of air port coke specimen is determined Air port coke specimen excludes consubstantiality ponding and determines its proportion and voidage.
There is certain hole on coke granule surface, during being reached before air port from after furnace roof addition, coke surface hole Degree diminishes.Because granularity < 2.5mm coke granules can float and are together lost with water on the water surface in voidage continuous mode, in addition " and mud " phenomenon may occur, therefore only selection minimum particle size is the coke granule composition coke examination of 2.5mm in continuous mode Sample.But due to containing more fine powder in the coke granule of granularity < 2.5mm, can be several by the space between coke granule It is fully filled with so that almost without space in the coke granule of granularity < 2.5mm, so as to be affected greatly to the working of a furnace.Cause This, the measure of air port coke specimen voidage still will consider the influence of the coke granule of granularity < 2.5mm, and this is also regulation wind The reason for mouth coke specimen voidage is whole granularity voidages.
As abscissa, the voidage with air port coke specimen draws coordinate to distance with sample point away from air port as ordinate Figure is as shown in Figure 2;
As can be seen that S from coordinate diagram1Respective coordinates point and S2The line of respective coordinates point is one close to horizontal straight Line, S3Respective coordinates point and S4、S5The line of respective coordinates point is also similar to a straight line for level, and S2Respective coordinates point and S3 Exist between respective coordinates point and obvious dashing forward is occurred in that between larger drop, i.e. 2# air ports coke specimen and 3# air ports coke specimen Height, shows that the coke voidage in the coke specimen of air port there occurs mutation.This is because coke is in COREX melting gasification furnaces 1 Interior different apart from the position of air port 2, it is caused the voidage of coke to exist by blowing oxygen and the degree difference reacted with oxygen Difference.The measurement accuracy of the catastrophe point is determined by the sampling precision of tuyere p robing device.
In the present embodiment, coke specimen corresponding sample point in 2# air ports is apart from air port S2=0.75m, the length L of sampling groove 4 are COREX melting gasification furnaces Tuyere Raceway length is in 0.30m, therefore the present embodiment:
S2+ L/2=(0.75+0.15) m=0.90m.
The above, the only present invention preferably specific embodiment, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, Any one skilled in the art the invention discloses technical scope in, technology according to the present invention scheme and its Inventive concept is subject to equivalent or change, should all be included within the scope of the present invention.
