Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for supplying gaseous and solid materials, in particular oxygen and carbonaceous materials, to a metal bath in the process of refining by top blowing.
  • the applicant has given himself the task of developing a device intended to deliver in the context of a refining process by blowing oxygen from above, on the one hand of oxygen and on the other hand a carbonaceous material.
  • the supply of oxygen to the bath must comprise on the one hand a quantity of refining oxygen, penetrating into the metal in order to meet carbon there and to form carbon monoxide gas and on the other hand an amount of oxygen distributed over the surface of the bath in order to burn the said carbon monoxide, formed during the refining.
  • the aim is to recarburize the bath in order to have an increased energy capacity, the energy released by the oxidation of carbon in the resp resp. carbon monoxide above its surface, being ultimately intended to melt large quantities of solid scrap into the bath.
  • a reliable cooling circuit must also be provided in the device while considering the need to limit the scope of this circuit to a minimum, both from the point of view of space and of the quantities of cooling fluid to be used, given that in the event of a fluid leakage, the latter should only reach the crucible in quantities reduced to a strict minimum.
  • the device as complex as its functions, should be accessible to a simple and at least relatively inexpensive manufacturing method.
  • a device which meets the criteria set out above is the device according to the invention which is a blowing lance whose head is provided with nozzles and which is characterized in that the head consists on the one hand of a monolithic block which has on its underside resp. lateral of the tubular end pieces which constitute the extensions of the nozzles and on the other hand of a cap which has perforations the size and location of which correspond to those of the nozzles, the said cap enveloping the said block and being connected to the latter by the said tips.
  • a passage in which can circulate a cooling fluid there is between the cap and the side and bottom faces of the block a passage in which can circulate a cooling fluid.
  • the block and the cap are provided with a central perforation, the diameter of the perforation of the block being greater than that of the cap.
  • a central tube is housed according to the invention, through which it is possible to transport either gas alone or solid matter suspended in a carrier gas and there will automatically be a conduit enveloping the said central tube, which leads to the passage between the block and the cap. Thanks to this particularity, a device is obtained capable of conveying a given material, possibly not compatible with other materials which are conveyed through the same device, and where the materials are protected against each other by a protective screen. which consists of a fluid which acts at the same time as a cooling fluid.
  • the block has on its upper face circular end pieces, concentric with respect to the vertical axis of the lance head. These end pieces are arranged so as to delimit annular passages in which the nozzles end, so that it suffices to connect the end pieces to concentric tubes to obtain a device having several circuits independent of each other.
  • cap is also connected to a tube which forms the casing of the body of the lance.
  • the main advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the fact that it offers the possibility of conveying and cutting at the same time materials which are not compatible with each other and that the means of protection provided for avoiding physical contact between these materials - in this case carbon and oxygen - at the same time fulfills the function of cooling agent.
  • the head essentially consists of the block, the cap and several tubes, therefore of easily achievable elements.
  • the block (1) has a central perforation (10), in the direction of the vertical axis, which is intended to receive the conduit for solid materials and at the same time to form the conduit for supplying the cooling and protective fluid. .
  • nozzles (20, 21 and 22) which can be used for blowing oxygen.
  • the nozzle (20) which is only slightly inclined relative to the vertical axis can convey the refining oxygen, while the oblique nozzles (21,22) bring the oxygen for post-combustion which must not not enter the bath.
  • Fig.l shows that the block (1) has on its upper face the circular, concentric tips (5,6,7,8) and it becomes clear that these tips define conduits.
  • the end piece (5) forms the central passage (10); at the same time it forms together with the end piece (6) a tubular conduit delimiting the space in which the nozzle ends (20), the end pieces (6 and 7) delimit another tubular conduit in which ends the nozzle (21) and finally it is the same for the tips (7 and 8) with respect to the nozzle (22).
  • the various tubular conduits can constitute the bases common to several nozzles of the same type; so we can predict p. ex. 3 nozzles (20), 3 nozzles (21) and 6 nozzles (22).
  • Fig.2 shows the cap (2) which is provided with a neck (3).
  • This neck is intended to serve as a support for the central tube which will convey the solid material. It can be connected to the cap or be an integral part thereof.
  • the cap has the perforations (10c, 20c, 21c and 22c) which correspond to the nozzles (10, 20, 21, and 22) of the block according to fig. 1. These perforations can also be made after assembly.
  • the main advantage of the invention appears in fig.3 where it is shown the entire lance head. Indeed, there is the tube (4) connected to the neck (3) of the cap (2); this tube (4) can transport carbon suspended in an appropriate carrier gas.
  • the different end pieces which are arranged on the upper surface of the block (1) are connected to concentric tubes (5a, 6a, 7a, and 8a).
  • the passage between the tube (5a) resp. the end piece (5) and the tube (4) can be used according to the invention as an inlet conduit for a cooling and protective fluid.
  • the passages between the tubes (5a and 6a) resp. (6a and 7a) resp. (7a and 8a) lead to the nozzles (20) resp. (21) resp. (22).
  • the device according to the invention can, thanks to its particular design, be manufactured according to conventional and relatively inexpensive methods.
  • the block (1) lends itself to manufacture by mold casting; the perforations can easily be obtained by drilling.
  • the formation of the lower ends can be provided in the arrangement of the mold, as well as that of the nozzles.
  • the upper, concentric ends they can be obtained by turning and milling.
  • the block (1) is usefully made of copper, just like the cap (2).
  • the block and the cap can also form a monolithic unit, relatively easy to produce by casting in a mold. Either we prefer this form of execution or the execution where the block and the cap form individual parts, it is easy to recover the block part in case of damage to the cap part.
  • the tube (4) can be connected to the neck (3) by screwing or by any other sealed assembly means; it is useful to provide an O-ring, not shown, between the top of the neck (3) and the adjacent part of the tube (4).
  • the lance protection / cooling circuit is a closed circuit which comprises, between the inlet conduit in the lance and the outlet conduit, outside the lance body, a pump, a heat exchanger , a buffer tank as well as means for continuous measurement of the pressure and the inlet-outlet flow rates of the fluid conveyed in said circuit.
  • the measuring instruments are connected to an alert system so that a loss of pressure, or a difference between the inlet-outlet flows indicative of any deterioration in the circuit, can be directly signaled for intervention. adequate.
