Description

Waste heat utilization in cooling slag produced from iron and steel production
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method and a device for utilizing waste heat generated when cooling slag, for example for generating electrical energy.
Background
Slag is produced in metallurgical processes, for example in the production of pig iron in a blast furnace or in the production of steel in an electric arc furnace or LD-converter, but also in other processes, in particular in metal processing, for example in foundry. Slag is in principle a by-product of the process, which can be used as filler or aggregate in other processes or products, for example. Slag is usually produced at high temperatures in the process, for example in a blast furnace or in a steel plant. In this case, the thermal energy of the slag during the production of slag is generally very high, typically in the range of 1.5 to 2GJ per ton of slag, due to the high process temperature, typically above 1450 ℃. Nevertheless, the slag is currently mainly poured in an open slag bed, where it is subsequently cooled slowly by means of air cooling and/or water cooling and without any heat utilization or energy recovery. For further use, the cooled slag is typically crushed, iron removed, and typically sieved and/or classified.
There are solutions in which air is heated by the high temperature of the slag upon cooling and is subsequently used as a drying agent in other processes. However, the requirements and application possibilities of hot air for drying purposes are limited and, furthermore, the space required for the drying apparatus for this is very high.
Since the thermal energy reaches very high levels, for example, steel mill slag is mainly in the molten state and is in most cases poured into the slag bed at temperatures exceeding 1300 ℃, it is desirable to convert into a form of energy of as high quality as possible, for example and in particular to generate electric current.
However, this process is also problematic in that slag is formed only in a discontinuous manner. Thus, this cannot be directly linked to a continuous process.
Disclosure of Invention
The aim of the invention is to utilize waste heat when producing slag.
This object is achieved by a device having the features given in claim 1. Advantageous refinements are given by the dependent claims, the following description and the accompanying drawings.
The device according to the invention is used for utilizing the waste heat of slag. The slag source can be very different here. For example, it may be blast furnace slag, cupola slag, steel mill slag, in particular converter slag, electric furnace slag, stainless steel slag or secondary metallurgical slag or molten metal bath slag. The apparatus has a first feed zone. Molten slag having a temperature, for example, above 1250 ℃ is added to a first feed zone, which may be disposed in a slag bed, for example. The first feed zone has a first contact surface, wherein the first contact surface is configured for direct planar application of liquid slag. The first contact surface is thus adapted to directly coat the liquid and flowable slag and bring it into direct thermal contact. A first heat storage device is arranged below and in thermal contact with the first contact surface of the first feed region. The heat storage device, for example comprising a metallic construction with refractory material contained therein, has two purposes. On the one hand, the maximum temperature peak is reduced when new hot slag is applied. Thus, the heat exchange fluid located thereunder will not be locally and/or instantaneously overheated. The second effect is that the output of thermal energy is also elongated, even if only slightly elongated, thus achieving the first temporal homogenization effect. A first heat exchange device through which a heat exchange fluid can flow is arranged below or in the first heat storage device and in thermal contact with the first heat storage device. An example of a first heat exchange means in the first heat storage means is a pipe or conduit arranged in, for example, a refractory wall, through which a heat exchange fluid may flow. Another example is a first heat exchange device of pipes or ducts present in the first heat storage device, arranged in the form of a stack of e.g. crushed or granulated slag, through which the pipes or ducts can be flowed by a heat exchange fluid. One example of a first heat exchange device below the first heat storage device may be, for example, a copper block with channels introduced therein for the passage of a heat exchange fluid. The first heat exchange device is fluidly connected to the first heat exchange fluid storage device. The cold heat exchange fluid flows into the heat exchange device, is heated there and is guided from there in a heated manner into the heat exchange fluid storage device. Preferably, the flow rate matches the outlet temperature of the heat exchange fluid. Thus, immediately after slag application, very much heat exchange fluid is delivered, the delivered amount of which decreases with cooling, but the temperature preferably remains constant. In a preferred embodiment, the first heat exchange fluid storage device is connected to the first power generation device. Here, the connection may be direct or indirect. If the heat exchange fluid is water, which is thus heated to e.g. 500 ° steam, a direct connection may be advantageous. The steam can then be fed directly to the corresponding turbine of the first power generation device. If the heat exchange fluid is molten salt, an indirect connection is of interest, i.e. in particular the molten salt generates steam in a further heat exchanger, which steam is then applied to the turbine. The homogenization is achieved by the first heat exchange fluid storage means and the discontinuous process of slag cooling can be effectively associated with continuous power generation. Furthermore, just as well in order to utilize "lower value" heat, thermoelectric converters (thermoelectric generators, thermocouples, peltier elements) can be used, for example, for generating electricity. The efficiency of up to 17% is significantly lower than that achievable by means of the carnot process, but can be embodied particularly firmly and with little maintenance as a component without moving parts.
The heat obtained can also be used in two stages, i.e. in particular the highest temperature is used in the first step for generating the current, and the waste heat is then fed into the remote thermal system.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a protective layer, in particular formed from crushed slag, is arranged on the first contact surface of the feed zone of the device. Thereby protecting the device located thereunder. In addition, the pulverized slag serves as an additional heat storage device, which reduces temperature peaks during liquid slag feeding. Meanwhile, by using the cold crushed slag, pollution of mineral slag products (e.g., prepared aggregate) by the crushed slag in the protective layer does not occur. Preferably, slag is used as the crushed slag, which is cooled and solidified during the preamble and thus is chemically largely identical to the new liquid slag. Furthermore, the aggregate of the crushed slag can be optimized in particular with regard to the energy requirements required for crushing.
In another embodiment of the invention, the first contact surface of the feed zone is a steel trough. In particular, the first contact surface of the feed region is detachably connected to the first heat storage device. In particular, the steel bath is taken out after the slag is cooled to remove the slag. Preferably, another steel bath may then be introduced so that the next batch of slag may already be cooled.
In another alternative embodiment of the invention, the first contact surface of the feed zone is a rotating steel strip. The steel strip, preferably in the form of an endless conveyor belt, may be rotated only after the slag has cooled, or may be rotated continuously.
In another embodiment of the invention, the first heat storage means is made of a refractory material. The refractory materials have in particular oxides, in particular silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, zirconium oxide and chromium oxide, silicon carbide, molybdenum and/or tungsten and/or platinum group metals as metals, alloys, oxides or carbides.
In another embodiment of the invention, the refractory material has at least one material selected from the group consisting of refractory clay, silica, magnesia, silicon carbide, bauxite, corundum, molybdenum oxide.
In another embodiment of the invention, the heat exchange fluid is selected from the group comprising air, helium, water, heat transfer oil, molten salt. A temperature of 900 c can also be easily achieved with air or helium. This achieves a high efficiency of heat to electricity conversion but leaves a large amount of heat unused.
In another embodiment of the invention, the apparatus has a second feed zone. The second heat storage device is arranged below and in thermal contact with the second feed region. A second heat exchange device through which a heat exchange fluid can flow is arranged below or inside the second heat storage device, and is in thermal contact with the second heat storage device. The second heat exchange device is fluidly connected to the first heat exchange fluid storage device. By means of the parallel connection, the second feed zone can already be filled with new hot slag, while in the first feed zone the slag is still cooling.
In a further embodiment of the invention, a third heat exchange device is arranged below the first heat exchange device, through which a further heat exchange fluid can flow. The third heat exchange device is fluidly connected to the third heat exchange fluid storage device. The third heat exchange fluid storage device may be directly or indirectly connected to the first power generation device or the second power generation device.
In another embodiment of the invention, the first heat exchange fluid storage device is connected to a first power generation device. Here, the connection may be direct or indirect. For example if the heat exchange fluid is water, which is thus heated to steam of for example 500 °, a direct connection may be advantageous. The steam can then be fed directly to the corresponding turbine of the first power generation device. If the heat exchange fluid is molten salt, the indirect connection may make sense, i.e. in particular the molten salt generates steam in another heat exchanger, which steam is then applied to the turbine. The homogenization is achieved by the first heat exchange fluid storage means and the discontinuous process of slag cooling can be effectively associated with continuous power generation.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the first power generation device is fluidly connected to the first heat exchange device via a second heat exchange fluid storage device for storing cold heat exchange fluid. Thereby an efficient circulation guidance of the heat exchange fluid can be achieved. The heat exchange fluid discharged from the continuous process of the power plant in the second heat exchange fluid storage means again provides a discontinuous process for slag cooling.
Of course, other parallel feed zones are also possible.
In another embodiment of the invention, the first heat exchange fluid storage device is connected to a heat utilization device, in particular a remote heat supply network.
Drawings
The device according to the invention is explained in detail below with the aid of the embodiments shown in the drawings.
Figure 1 shows a first example of this,
fig. 2 shows a second example.
Detailed Description
A first example is shown in fig. 1. The first device of the first example has a steel groove 20 as a first contact surface. A layer of crushed slag 12 is arranged in the steel channel 20. Liquid slag 10 is poured from a slag bath 14 into a steel bath 20. The heat of the slag 10, for example fed at 1300 ℃, is transferred via the steel bath 20 to the first heat storage device 30, whereby homogenization is achieved by heating the first heat storage device 30, so that, instead of the temperature peak, for example at 1300 ℃, reaching the first heat exchange device 40, for example only 750 ℃ remains. While higher temperature levels remain for longer periods of time. For further homogenization, the heat exchange fluid is fed from the first heat exchange device 40 into the first heat exchange fluid storage device 50. The heat exchange fluid is transferred from the first heat exchange fluid storage device 50 to the power generation device 60 and from the power generation device 60 to the second heat exchange fluid storage device 70 so that cold heat exchange fluid may also be buffered. The heat exchange fluid is then led from the second heat exchange fluid storage means 70 into the heat exchange means 40 again and thus in the circuit. In the example shown, the heat exchange device 40 is embodied as a tube bundle heat exchanger.
In order to achieve further homogenization, two, preferably four, particularly preferably more devices according to the invention are configured parallel to one another. Since the steel bath 20 is filled in a batch operation and then cooled slowly and the cooling process is also generally longer than the duration of producing these quantities of slag, a homogenization of the temperature of the heat exchange fluid can be achieved by the parallel connection and the common use of the first heat exchange fluid storage device 50. This also makes the power transmission to the power generation device 60 uniform.
Fig. 2 shows a second example, which differs from the first example shown in fig. 1 in that the first contact surface is embodied as a steel strip 22. The steel strip transports slag 10 from the feed through the first heat storage device 30 and thereby outputs heat through the first heat storage device 30 to the heat exchange fluid within the first heat exchange device 40. The other components are identical.
In the first example, the steel trough 20 must be cyclically removed and emptied, which is done on the steel strip 22 of the second example at the ends of the steel strip 22, respectively. Thus, the second example is particularly suited for an almost continuous supply of slag 10.
