Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for evaluating hearth activity using a slag iron retention index of a blast furnace hearth, comprising the steps of:
s1, building a slag iron retention model based on a calculation model of slag iron retention rate and dead charge column volume of a furnace hearth;
s2, combining the slag iron retention model in the step S1 with different specifications of the blast furnace hearth to obtain a slag iron retention index model:in the formula, V L Is the volume of the blast furnace hearth;
and S3, obtaining the change trend of the slag iron retention index in the actual production of the blast furnace according to the slag iron retention index model obtained in the step S2 so as to evaluate the hearth activity of different blast furnaces.
Specifically, in step S1, the slag iron retention model:wherein h is the slag iron retention (%) of the hearth, and V d Is dead material column volume (m) 3 );
A calculation model of slag iron retention rate of the furnace hearth:in the formula, C pm Capillary number, dimensionless; alpha is viscosity correction coefficient and is dimensionless; beta is a temperature correction coefficient and is dimensionless. The viscosity correction coefficient alpha is determined according to the slag system viscosity mu and the slag system standard viscosity mu under the condition of 1500 DEG C 0 Calculating to obtain; the temperature correction coefficient beta is based on the slag melting temperature T r And the temperature T of the molten iron is obtained by calculation.
Calculation model of dead charge column volume: firstly, calculating the length of a blast furnace tuyere raceway according to blast parameters, obtaining size parameters required for calculating the volume of a dead charge column by combining tapping parameters and according to a similar triangle principle, and finally obtaining a calculation model of the volume of the dead charge column.
Specifically, the calculation formula of the viscosity of the slag system is as follows:wherein μ is a slag viscosity (Pa · s), t is a slag temperature (DEG C), E is a blast kinetic energy (kg · m/s), A w The relative action coefficient is a key and has no dimension. In some embodiments, μ is CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 Viscosity of-MgO Quaternary slag System for CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 In a-MgO quaternary slag system, the slag system,in the formula, A 1 、A 2 、A 3 、A 4 、A 5 、A 6 、A 7 Respectively are the relevant action coefficients of Si-O-Si, si-O-Al, si-O-Ca, al-O-Ca, si-O-Mg, al-O-Mg and Al-O-Al;
the calculation formula of the slag meltability temperature is as follows: t is r =1204.6+5.902·m(Al 2 O 3 ) -2.961. M (MgO) +90.286R, in which T r The slag melting temperature (. Degree. C.), m (Al) 2 O 3 ) Is Al in blast furnace slag 2 O 3 M (MgO) is the weight content (wt%) of MgO in the blast furnace slag; r is alkalinity (dimensionless) and is CaO and SiO 2 The mass ratio of (a).
Referring to fig. 2, the influence factors of the slag-iron retention rate mainly include slag parameters, coke parameters, molten iron temperature (T), dead charge column porosity (epsilon), and the like, and the influence factors are subjected to weight analysis to obtain specific parameters including slag basicity, slag magnesium-aluminum ratio, coke particle size, coke CRI, coke CSR, molten iron temperature, slag titanium content, and permeability index. And (3) researching the relation between the slag iron retention rate and the factors by combining with the actual production data of the blast furnace, quantitatively determining the influence contribution degree of the factors on the slag iron retention rate, and obtaining a result graph of the contribution degree of each factor on the slag iron retention rate in the graph 1. As can be seen from the figure, the contribution degree sequence of the above factors is: the contribution degree of the molten iron temperature is 35%, the contribution degree of the CSR is 26%, the contribution degree of the coke granularity is 13%, the contribution degree of the CRI is 12%, the contribution degree of the slag alkalinity is 8%, the contribution degree of the slag magnesium-aluminum ratio is 5%, and the contribution degree of the slag titanium content is 1%.
Therefore, when a calculation model of the slag iron retention rate is established, the retention rate is corrected from two aspects of slag chemical stability and thermal stability, and a slag fluidity correction factor (namely a viscosity correction factor alpha) and a temperature correction factor (namely a temperature correction factor beta) are introduced to make the retention rate more accord with the actual production of the blast furnace; in the calculation of the number of the capillary tubes representing the actual slag iron coke penetration process of the blast furnace, the coke granularity, CSR and CRI can be changed in the process of the blast furnace coke from the inlet to the tuyere due to the complex environment of the blast furnace, and the accuracy of the coke granularity in the inlet of the blast furnace adopted in the traditional method is poor; therefore, the method introduces the representation of the hearth coke granularity, replaces the furnace-entering coke granularity by the hearth coke granularity, eliminates the influence of the actual production process of the blast furnace on the furnace-entering coke granularity, and greatly improves the accuracy of the slag iron retention rate model.
Specifically, the slag fluidity is influenced by the slag composition, the slag density, the slag surface tension, the slag viscosity and the slag meltability temperature, so that the calculation formula of the capillary number for representing the actual coke penetration process of the blast furnace slag iron isIn the formula, ρ L Is the blast furnace slag density (kg/m) 3 ) G is the acceleration of gravity (generally 9.8 m/s) 2 ),Is coke form factor (dimensionless), d p Is the diameter (m), sigma, of coke in the hearth L Is the surface tension (N/m) of the slag, theta is the contact angle between the slag and the coke (generally taking the value of 120 degrees), and epsilon is the void degree of a dead material column;
wherein the diameter d of coke in the hearth p The determination method comprises the following steps: based on the blast furnace hearth damage investigation and the tuyere coke-taking result, CSR, CRI and the particle size parameters of the coke entering the furnace are introduced, and the relationship between the diameter of the hearth coke and the diameter of the coke entering the furnace is constructed to obtain the diameter of the hearth coke. Because the coke granularity of the hearth is influenced by the burning loss of the high-temperature action of the tuyere raceway and the gasification reaction degree of the upper part of the blast furnace, CS is introducedR, CRI and the granularity parameter of the coke entering the furnace, so that the diameter result of the coke in the hearth obtained by calculation is more accurate;
the blast furnace slag density calculation formula is as follows: rho t =∑X MO ·ρ MO In the formula, rho L Is the density (kg/m) of blast furnace slag 3 ),X MO Is the molar ratio (%) of each component, rho MO For the density (kg/m) of each component 3 );
The calculation formula of the slag surface tension is as follows: sigma l =∑X MO ·σ MO In the formula σ L Is the slag surface tension (N/m), X MO Is the molar ratio (%) of each component, sigma MO The surface tension (N/m) of each component was used.

As can be seen from table 2, in this example, based on the nature of coke penetration of the slag iron (porous medium model/slag iron flow resistance), a mathematical theory is used for derivation, the slag viscosity and the molten iron temperature correction coefficient are introduced, the slag iron retention rate is quantitatively calculated, and the derivation calculation process shows the scientificity of the invention; for the same blast furnace, the slag iron retention index and the slag iron retention trend are consistent, the slag iron retention and the slag iron retention rate trend are consistent, and in addition, in combination with the table 1 and the table 2, when the blast furnace utilization coefficient is higher, the coal gas utilization rate is higher, and the fuel ratio is lower, the corresponding slag iron retention index is lower, the influence rule of the hearth activity on the blast furnace production is met, and the scientificity and the rationality of the method are further explained. In addition, as can be seen from table 2, the volume change of the dead charge column is relatively small, which is consistent with the actual production trend of the blast furnace, in order to ensure the stable production of the blast furnace, the changes of the blast parameters and the tapping parameters cannot be changed too much in the production process of the blast furnace, but the volume of the dead charge column changes due to the fact that the blast/tapping system is forced to be changed at individual moments due to the fluctuation of furnace conditions, and the change of the dead charge column affects the activity of a hearth of the blast furnace; the slag iron retention index model is used for evaluating the hearth activity, and the influence of the volume change of the dead material column of the blast furnace on the blast furnace hearth activity is comprehensively considered; for different blast furnaces, the slag iron retention index takes the relative relation between the volume of the dead charge column and the volume of the hearth into consideration, the blast furnace activity degrees of different furnace volumes can be directly compared, the rationality and the comprehensiveness of the slag iron retention index are shown, and the evaluation result of the blast furnace hearth activity is more accurate and scientific.
In the actual production of the blast furnace, if the volume of a dead material column of a certain blast furnace is too large, the retention rate of the iron slag is low because the temperature of the iron slag is relatively high; if the traditional method for evaluating the hearth activity by the slag iron retention rate is adopted, the low slag iron retention rate indicates that the blast furnace hearth activity is better; however, the evaluation results of this method are clearly not reasonable, since blast furnace experts consider the dead charge column to be excessively large and their blast furnace shaft must be inactive. Therefore, the influence of the volume of the dead charge column on the activity of the hearth is not considered in the mode of evaluating the activity of the blast furnace hearth by the slag iron retention rate, and the evaluation accuracy of the activity of the hearth is not as good as that of the slag iron retention index model; the method for evaluating the activity of the hearth by using the slag iron retention index model has accuracy, reasonability and scientificity.
In conclusion, the invention provides a method for evaluating the hearth activity by using the slag iron retention index of a blast furnace hearth, which is based on a calculation model of the slag iron retention rate of the hearth and the volume of a dead charge column, constructs a slag iron retention model, obtains the slag iron retention index model by combining the slag iron retention model with different parameters of the blast furnace hearth, and evaluates the hearth activity of different blast furnaces according to the variation trend of the slag iron retention index in the actual production of the blast furnace. The slag iron retention of the hearth is calculated in a slag iron retention index model for evaluating the activity of the blast furnace hearth, the factors influencing the slag iron retention are evaluated by using a multi-factor coupling analysis method, the factors with high correlation are introduced into the slag iron retention model and then introduced into the slag iron retention index model, and the accuracy of the model for evaluating the activity of the blast furnace hearth is improved; the slag iron retention index model is a relatively comprehensive model integrating slag iron components, slag iron temperature, blast parameters and tapping parameters, and realizes rapid and accurate evaluation of the activity of a blast furnace hearth in actual production. The invention starts from the actual blast furnace smelting, comprehensively considers the influence of each production parameter of the blast furnace on the hearth activity in the actual production, establishes a method for scientifically and systematically evaluating the blast furnace hearth activity, can timely and accurately reflect the blast furnace hearth activity when being applied to the actual production of the blast furnace, and plays a role in guiding the actual production of the blast furnace.
