Description

Method for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter
The present application is a divisional application of an invention patent application having an application date of 2016, 11, 23, and an application number of 201680068082.0, entitled "method and apparatus for preheating and melting manganese ore sinter".
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter as defined in the preamble of independent claim 1.
Object of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for energy-saving smelting of manganese ore sinter.
Brief description of the invention
The method for preheating and smelting manganese ore sinter is characterized by the definitions of independent claim 1.
Preferred embodiments of the method are defined in the dependent claims 2-13.
The invention is based on preheating a feed mixture containing at least manganese ore sinter and a reducing agent in order to eliminate moisture from the feed mixture and to preheat the feed mixture to as high a temperature as possible without burning or releasing carbon in the reducing agent in the feed mixture that is required for reduction purposes.
Carbon consuming reactions, in particular the Boudouard reaction (C(s) + CO), while preheating the manganese contained2(g)

2CO (g)) is the limiting factor. The water gas reaction H also takes place2O+C→H2+ CO. The preheating temperature in the pretreatment cartridge (silo) can thus be locally at a maximum of 600-700 ℃, depending on the reactivity of the carbon in the reducing agent of the feed mixture.

Example 1
Metallurgical coke having the composition defined in table 1 and calcite manganese ore sinter having the composition defined in the "raw sinter" column of table 2 were mixed in a ratio of 80 weight percent (wt%) calcite ore and 20 wt% and heated in a vessel to four different temperatures: 500 ℃, 600 ℃, 700 ℃ and 800 ℃. The calcite manganese ore sinter is crushed and screened to a particle size of 2.38-6.73mm prior to mixing, and the metallurgical coke is crushed and screened to a particle size of 0.595-4.76mm prior to mixing.
Heating was performed by induction heating, and a gas containing carbon dioxide and nitrogen was blown into the container at a ratio of 30% carbon dioxide and 70% to simulate an actual heating condition.
The composition of the calcite manganese ore sinter was measured in each of the following cases: 500 ℃, 600 ℃, 700 ℃ and 800 ℃. As can be seen from the columns "500 ℃", "600 ℃", "700 ℃" and "800 ℃" of table 3, the composition of the calcite manganese ore sinter changes only slightly, which means that for example hardly any reduction of the oxides takes place.

The carbon component of the charcoal begins to gasify at 450 ℃.
It was observed that the mixture in which charcoal was used as the reducing agent 3 could be preheated to a temperature of 400 c without carbon gasification. The charcoal starts to oxidize by the Boudouard reaction or by the water gas reaction. In addition, the water and oxygen content of the carbon dioxide containing carbonaceous gas 9 should be low to avoid oxidation of the carbon.
