Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for introducing fine-grained, carbon-containing fuels, such as coal and coke powder, which are suspended in a carrier medium, and oxygen into an iron melt below the iron bath surface through nozzles arranged in the refractory masonry of the treatment vessel.
  • fine-grained, carbon-containing fuels such as coal and coke powder
  • lances are used for blowing in, the outlet openings of which are guided close to the surface of the bath, so that the solids get into the melt with the exit impulse, or the lances are immersed in the iron bath.
  • nozzle arrangements are known which are located below the bath surface in the refractory masonry, through which solids suspended in carrier gases are fed to the melt.
  • German Auslegeschrift 23 16 768 describes, for example, a method and an apparatus for fresh iron, in which oxygen and fine lime are added through nozzles arranged below the bath surface and solid carbon carriers are added to the melt through further nozzles.
  • a nozzle can also be provided with a plurality of openings, one opening being charged with carrier gas and carbon or fine ore and another opening with fresh gas and fine lime.
  • the German patent 2 4 0 1 54o deals with egg process for melting iron sponge.
  • the reactants namely oxygen, dust-like carbon and fine-grained sponge iron
  • the nozzle has several feed channels, e.g. B. flow in the inner oxygen, in the middle carbon and in the outer sponge iron.
  • Carbon and sponge iron are suspended in a suitable carrier gas, such as carbon monoxide.
  • German patent specification 25 2o 883 describes a method and a device for the continuous gasification of coal.
  • the reactants preferably fine-grained coal and oxygen
  • the reactants are fed to the iron bath through nozzles below the bath surface, which are arranged in the refractory lining and thus wear out in unison.
  • Inert gas, nitrogen, CO 2 and water vapor come into consideration as the conveying gas for the carbon.
  • the reactants can be passed through a multi-channel nozzle, preferably from concentric tubes. For the first time, the possibility is mentioned that the reactants oxygen and coal can be mixed within the nozzle shortly before the nozzle mouth.
  • German Offenlegungsschrift 27 23 857 relates to a method and an apparatus for steel production.
  • Solid, carbon-containing material is led into the melt below the surface and an oxidizing gas is introduced into the vessel.
  • the carbonaceous material is blown through blowpipes using a carrier gas.
  • the carrier gas can be a reducing, oxidizing or inert gas.
  • the oxygen is normally supplied to the metallurgical vessel via a water-cooled lance. However, it is it is also possible to supply the oxygen by blowing tube injection or by injection using a submerged lance.
  • blowpipes are used to inject oxygen and / or solid, carbon-shaped materials
  • the blowpipes can consist of two or more concentric tubes and have a circular liquid shield that surrounds the primary injection tube.
  • This shielding fluid may be an inert gas or a liquid, e.g., hydrocarbon gas or a liquid, or an oxidizing gas or a liquid, and the fluid may be chosen to minimize wear on the liner and blowpipes to minimize to prevent blockage of the blowpipes.
  • the blowpipes can be designed so that they can supply both oxidizing gas and solid, carbon-containing material. " Then, in specific embodiment 1, it is said that particulate graphite was blown in at a rate of 3.5 kg / min for 17 minutes.
  • blowpipes used to inject carbon had a circular cross section and were charged as follows: shielding gas: air at a rate of 7 m 3 / h; Carrier gas: argon at a rate of 30 m 3 / h.
  • the blow tube core diameter was 7 mm with an annular gap of 1 mm.
  • a common feature of the known processes for introducing carbon-containing fuels into an iron melt is that the finely divided solids are suspended in a carrier gas and fed separately from the oxygen to the melt by their own feed channels. These feed channels are adapted in cross-section to the flow rate and accordingly small, z. B. the diameter of said blow pipe is 7 mm. With the decreasing conveyor cross, the risk of constipation increases. Mainly if finely divided fuels with different grain sizes and fluctuations in the grain size distribution are used at high loading rates from solids to carrier gas for economic reasons, there is a risk of grafting, which leads to blockages in narrow delivery lines.
  • Another difficulty with the known induction methods is to keep the feed channels clear in periods without fuel delivery, e.g. B. when finishing a molten steel, if you set the desired low final carbon content.
  • the carrier gas usually flows through the feed channels without solid loading in order to prevent melt from penetrating into the nozzles.
  • the carrier gas extracts heat from the melt and, depending on the type of gas, can continue to have an adverse effect on the steel composition, e.g. B. by increased nitrogen levels in the finished steel.
  • inlet nozzles for carbon-containing fuels over long periods, e.g. B. when operating an iron bath reactor for gas generation over several months and in steel production via a converter journey of about 1,000 batches, reliable and trouble-free to operate, since every repair, eg. B. when a nozzle clogs, as a loss of production time and thus economically very disadvantageous.
  • the invention is accordingly based on the object of providing a method and a device for introducing fine-grained, carbon-containing fuels, such as coal and coke powder, into an iron smelt, in which The reliable, trouble-free addition of fuels below the surface of the bath is guaranteed over long periods, clogging of the nozzles is avoided and the nozzles are kept free during fuel-free operating periods.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that fuel and oxygen are fed alternately through the same inlet duct to the nozzle.
  • the invention relates to a method for introducing fine-grained, carbon-containing fuels, which are suspended in a carrier gas, and oxygen into an iron melt below the surface of the iron bath through nozzles arranged in the refractory masonry of the treatment vessel, which is characterized in that fuel and oxygen alternate through the same inlet channel of the nozzle.
  • the invention further relates to a device for introducing fine-grained, carbon-containing fuels, which are suspended in a carrier gas, and oxygen into a molten iron, which is characterized in that a displaceable valve body is arranged in a housing with a fuel supply line, an oxygen supply line and a nozzle tube which releases the fuel opening cross section or the oxygen opening cross section and which is controlled by the oxygen supply line pressure.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by high operational reliability and the inlet nozzles for finely divided, carbon-containing fuels below the bath surface do not become clogged.
  • the delivery rate is reduced, is switched from fuel delivery to oxygen for a short time and thus the nozzle channel is blown free. Formations at the nozzle mouth, which often form the starting point for blockages, are burned off by the oxygen flow.
  • the shortest oxygen blowing times are sufficient, for example from 0.1 to about 2 minutes.
  • the oxygen blowing times can be varied as desired and, in particular, can be extended longer before the supply of fuel and carrier medium is started again.
  • the change from fuel to oxygen can occur several times in short succession. This procedure is particularly useful if the oxygen blowing times are to be short. As soon as the fuel delivery runs smoothly again after a brief burst of oxygen of, for example, 10 seconds, there is no need for further oxygen addition. Otherwise, the short-term addition of oxygen can be repeated a corresponding number of times.
  • the switchover of oxygen bubbles to the suspension conveyance takes place almost without inertia by means of corresponding switchover devices which are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the nozzle mounting flanges, in any case directly on the bottom of the treatment vessels, for example an iron bath reactor or a converter for steelmaking.
  • a simple form of the inlet nozzle for the suspension of finely divided, carbon-containing fuel and a carrier medium on the one hand and oxygen on the other hand consists of two concentric tubes, the fuel and alternately the oxygen flowing through the central tube.
  • the annular gap, formed from the central tube and the second concentric tube, for protecting the nozzle against premature burning back, is charged with, for example, 0.5 to 5% by weight of gaseous and / or liquid hydrocarbons, based on the oxygen.
  • This nozzle is usually installed in the fireproof masonry below the bath surface and burns back evenly with the lining.
  • the risk of nozzle clogging when introducing carbon-containing, pulverized fuels into a molten iron is practically excluded, and for this reason the installation of the blow cross section actually required is sufficient to introduce the suspension, i. H. there is no need to install additional fuel injectors for safety reasons.
  • additional fuel injectors for safety reasons.
  • a converter that works according to the oxygen blow-through method it has proven entirely sufficient to convert only two of the ten oxygen inlet nozzles present in the converter base for the addition of fine-particle coal or coke.
  • an iron melt of about 65 t can be fed with about 2ooo kg of coal dust within 10 minutes.
  • Nitrogen is used as the carrier medium, for example, and the loading rate is about 12 kg of coal dust / Nm nitrogen.
  • the addition of fuel serves to increase the heat balance in order to increase the scrap melting capacity in steel production.
  • feed pipes of 1o mm inside diameter are installed in the center of the ten oxygen inlet nozzles mentioned in each nozzle as a delivery channel for the fuel-carrier gas suspension.
  • the oxygen injection nozzles themselves, as usual, are made up of two concentric tubes, in which the inner tube with a clear diameter of 24 mm is used to supply oxygen or oxygen and lime dust.
  • the arrangement of the fuel supply channels in the oxygen tube has been found to be disadvantageous for several reasons.
  • the installation and supply of the ten fuel inlet pipes is procedurally complex, but is necessary with this fuel inlet method, in order to avoid malfunctions in individual supply channels, e.g. B.
  • Blockages to keep a sufficient delivery cross-section for the carbon-containing fuels operational Blockages on individual fuel introduction channels occurred in almost every batch. Furthermore, it turned out to be particularly unfavorable to have to keep these channels clear with carrier gas if the fuel delivery is stopped towards the end of the cycle.
  • the nitrogen used to fuel the fuel led to undesirably high nitrogen contents in the molten steel.
  • Other carrier gases, such as argon or methane, are expensive compared to nitrogen and also require costly installations for another medium on the converter system. Nitrogen is usually available on an oxygen blow-through converter.
  • carrier gas blowing without fuel loading leads to a deterioration in the heat balance in steel production. The heat for heating the carrier gas is lost as energy for melting the scrap.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible, for example, to further increase the operational safety of an iron bath reactor for the continuous gasification of coal, as is described in German specification 2,508,883.
  • an iron bath reactor large amounts of coal become gas, essentially consisting of CO and H 2 , implemented.
  • the reactants coal dust and oxygen are normally added through nozzles consisting of several concentric tubes which are arranged below the surface of the iron bath.
  • the suspension of finely divided coal and a conveying gas, for example CH 4 flows through the central tube, oxygen flows through the annular gap around the central tube and the nozzle protection medium, for example natural gas, through a further annular gap.
  • a particularly advantageous application of the invention consists in combining it with the method for supplying heat during steel production in the converter, described in German patent application P 28 38 983.5.
  • heat is added to the melt by carbon-containing fuels during steel production in the converter and, in particular, these fuels are used in the melt with a previously unattainable high thermal efficiency, thus considerably increasing the economic melting of solid iron carriers, for example scrap, right up to steel production without molten pig iron.
  • the oxygen for freshening up the melt and for burning the fuels is simultaneously used as gas jets directed at the bath surface and below the bath surface initiated in the converter.
  • coke, brown coal coke, graphite, coal of various qualities and mixtures thereof are used as carbon-containing fuels.
  • These carbon-containing fuels are preferably introduced in powder form below the bath surface into the iron melt of the converter together with a carrier gas.
  • Nitrogen, CO, CH 4 or natural gas and inert gas, for example argon, have proven suitable as carrier gases.
  • the suspension of carbon-containing fuels and a carrier gas can also be supplied via one or more nozzles in an oxygen blow-through converter, the inlet pipe of individual nozzles being charged with the suspension of fuel and carrier gas instead of oxygen.
  • the method according to the present invention now overcomes the disadvantages which still exist hitherto in the known supply of finely divided, carbon-containing fuels into an iron or steel melt, as they also adhere to the otherwise very advantageous process of supplying heat according to German patent application P 28 38'983.5.
  • the finished fresh phase i.e. the period without fuel introduction, means a correspondingly higher blowing cross-section for the Oxygen available. This shortens this fresh phase, which in turn results in a reduced overall fresh time, which means a profit for steel production.
  • the method and the device according to the invention are suitable for introducing a wide variety of fine-grained fuels, for example coal of different quality, coke, brown coal coke, graphite, refinery residues and mixtures of these fuels.
  • the fuels are supplied in powdered or granular form, whereby the grain size and grain size distribution can be varied within wide limits.

  • the oxygen pressure in the valve acts on a movable valve body, which closes the fuel opening cross-section to the changeover valve in a gas-tight manner. In this position of the movable valve body, only oxygen can reach the nozzle channel through the oxygen opening cross section.
  • the oxygen opening cross-section is dimensioned such that it acts as a throttle element and reduces the oxygen admission pressure to the oxygen nozzle pressure.
