Abstract

The invention relates to a method of reducing the consumption of process gas in metallurgical processes in which gases such as argon, oxygen, air and the like are introduced into the liquid metal below the liquid surface, with the inventive concept being the heating of the gas prior to its introduction.

Description

In den letzten Jahren haben sich eine Fülle von Anwendungsfällen für metallurgische Prozesse ergeben, bei denen Gase in flüssiges Metall eingeleitet werden. Dementsprechend sind auch Untersuchungen durch­ geführt worden, deren Ziel es war, Hinweise für die Minimierung des Gasverbrauches zu geben, weil der Gasverbrauch bei derartigen Prozessen selbstverständlich von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung für die Wirtschaftlichkeit ist. So wird beispielsweise in "Steel Research 55 (1984)" Heft 12, Seite 537-579, wissenschaftlich die Grundlage für die Auslegung von Düsen zum Gaseinblasen in Schmelzen untersucht und darauf hingewiesen, daß es für die praktische Durchführung derartiger Verfahren erforderlich ist, einen Bereich zwischen einem minimalen und maximalen Gasstrom einstellen zu können. Ein minimaler Massenstrom von Gas darf selbstverständlich nicht unterschritten werden, weil sich sonst das Zuleitungsrohr bzw. die Düse zusetzt.In recent years, there have been plenty of use cases for metallurgical processes result in gases in liquid metal be initiated. Accordingly, examinations are also through The aim of which was to provide tips for minimizing the To give gas consumption because the gas consumption at such Processes, of course, of crucial importance for the Economy is. For example, in "Steel Research 55 (1984) "Issue 12, pages 537-579, scientifically the basis for the design of nozzles for gas injection in melts examined and noted that it is for practical implementation Such a procedure requires a range between one to be able to set minimum and maximum gas flow. A minimal one The mass flow of gas must of course not fall below because otherwise the supply pipe or the nozzle will clog.

Bisher war man der Meinung, daß das Gas bei Prozessen dieser Art in Form eines Strahls und nicht in Form von Blasen in das Bad eindringen sollte. Dabei wird die Grenze für den Übergang von bubling zu jetting sehr unterschiedlich eingesetzt.So far, it was believed that the gas in processes of this type in Do not enter the bath in the form of a jet and not in the form of bubbles should. The boundary for the transition from bubling to jetting used very differently.

Nach einem nicht vorveröffentlichten Vorschlag wird eine Verringerung des Gasverbrauchs bei derartigen Verfahren dadurch erzielt, daß man im Bereich des bubbling arbeitet, aber dafür sorgt, daß eine kriti­ sche Mindestmenge an zugeführtem Gas nicht unterschritten wird. Um diese Mindestmenge des Gasstroms zu steuern, ermittelt man die Druckschwankungen des Gases, unterzieht diese Signale einer Fre­ quenzfilterung, bei der der oszillierende Anteil der Druckschwankun­ gen herausgefiltert wird, und verwendet dann dieses die Druckschwan­ kungen anzeigende Signal zur Steuerung des Gasstroms. After a unpublished proposal, there will be a reduction the gas consumption in such processes is achieved in that works in the field of bubbling, but ensures that a crit The minimum amount of gas supplied is not undercut. Around to control this minimum amount of gas flow, one determines the Pressure fluctuations in the gas subject these signals to Fre frequency filtering, in which the oscillating part of the pressure fluctuations gene is filtered out, and then this uses the pressure swan signal indicating control of the gas flow.  

Die Erfindung befaßt sich ebenfalls mit einem Verfahren zur Verringerung des Prozeßgasverbrauchs bei metallurgischen Prozessen, bei denen Gase wie Argon, Sauerstoff, Luft und dergleichen in das flüssige Metall unterhalb des Flüssigkeitsspiegels eingeleitet werden. Zusätzlich zu dem zum nicht vorveröffentlichten Stand der Technik gehörenden Vorschlag oder auch unabhängig von dem darin beschriebenen Verfahren kann mit Hilfe des dieser Erfindung zugrunde liegenden Gedankens der Gasverbrauch reduziert werden.The invention also relates to a method for Reduction of process gas consumption in metallurgical processes, in which gases such as argon, oxygen, air and the like enter the liquid metal is introduced below the liquid level will. In addition to the not pre-published status of Technology belonging proposal or regardless of what is in it The method described can be based on the invention lying thought the gas consumption can be reduced.

Bei den bekannten metallurgischen Prozessen, bei denen Prozeßgase wie Argon, Sauerstoff, Luft und dergleichen in ein flüssiges Metallbad unterhalb dessen Flüssigkeitsspiegels eingeleitet wird, leitet man das Gas mit der Temperatur in die Schmelze ein, mit der es sich im Speicher, z. B. in Gasflaschen, befindet.In the known metallurgical processes, in which process gases such as argon, oxygen, air and the like into a liquid Metal bath below which liquid level is introduced, the gas is introduced into the melt at the temperature at which it is in memory, e.g. B. in gas bottles.

Bei der Erzeugung von z. B. Edelstahl im Konverter wird technisches Gas wie Argon oder Sauerstoff oder Stickstoff in erheblichen Mengen verbraucht. Dementsprechend verteuert sich der Preis des in dieser Weise behandelten Stahls. Es ist daher von erheblicher wirtschaft­ licher Bedeutung, den Gasverbrauch fühlbar zu verringern. Dieses Ziel erreicht die Erfindung auf außerordentlich einfache und wirksame Weise dadurch, daß man das Gas vor dem Einleiten in die Metallschmelze aufheizt. In Anwendung des bekannten physikalischen Gesetzes, daß sich das Volumen eines Gases proportional zu dessen Temperatur verhält, ist es möglich, den Prozeßgasverbrauch bis ca. auf die Hälfte des bisherigen und möglicherweise noch darunter zu senken. Für die Aufheizung des Prozeßgases stehen in einem Schmelzbetrieb für Metalle ohne weiteres genügend Wärmequellen zur Verfügung, die womöglich anderweitig kaum ausgenutzt werden. So kann das aufzuheizende Prozeßgas vor dem Einleiten in das flüssige Metall durch einen Wärmetauscher geleitet werden, in welchem seine Temperatur, je nach den Möglichkeiten, auf mehrere hundert Grad über die Umgebungstemperatur aufgeheizt wird. When generating z. B. Stainless steel in the converter becomes technical Gas such as argon or oxygen or nitrogen in considerable quantities consumed. Accordingly, the price of the in this expensive Way treated steel. It is therefore of considerable economy importance to noticeably reduce gas consumption. This The aim of the invention is extremely simple and effective way by having the gas before being introduced into the Metal melt heats up. Using the known physical Law that the volume of a gas is proportional to its Temperature, it is possible to reduce the process gas consumption up to approx. to half of the previous one and possibly even less reduce. For the heating of the process gas are in one Melting operation for metals without sufficient heat sources Available that may not be exploited elsewhere. So can the process gas to be heated before being introduced into the liquid metal be passed through a heat exchanger in which its Temperature, depending on the possibilities, over several hundred degrees the ambient temperature is heated.  

Bei Anwendung der aus der Literatur bekannten Erörterung der physikalischen Verhältnisse beim Gaseinblasen in Schmelzen ergeben sich Einsparungen bei Erhöhung der Gastemperatur auf etwa 500°C von 35% bis 50%.When applying the discussion of the physical conditions when blowing gas into melts savings by increasing the gas temperature to about 500 ° C from 35% to 50%.
