Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of metals, in particular liquid pig iron, steel raw material or ferroalloys from metal oxide-containing raw material, the raw material being melted in a metallurgical vessel by means of at least one plasma torch directed from top to bottom, and a device for carrying out the process.
- the reduction of the metal oxides takes place in the slag layer by exposing the molten oxide to the arc plasma jet containing a hydrocarbon gas and reducing this molten oxide by the decomposition products of the hydrocarbon gas.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus for performing the method, which make it possible to produce both pig iron and pig iron-like liquid metals as well as ferroalloys, whereby not only the furnace lining is protected from excessive heat load by the plasma jet, but The energy supplied by the plasma torch is available to the fine ore for melting and reducing it as much as possible. Furthermore, a previous agglomeration of the raw material to be used, i.e. of the fine ore to be used can be avoided, so that the related effort can be eliminated.
- the foam slag effectively protects the furnace lining against the heat radiation emitted by the plasma jet.
- the coating of the plasma jet by the fine-particle raw material used allows optimal use of the thermal radiation of the plasma jet.
- the blowing in of carbon from below prevents the carbon from being carried away.
- the supply of the oxygen-containing gas from below avoids premature destruction of the cathode by the oxygen.
- the supply of the raw material particles is stopped and only oxygen-containing gas and / or carbon is blown in from below through the melt.
- a device for carrying out the method according to the invention has a refractory-lined metallurgical vessel and a plasma torch directed from top to bottom, a counter electrode being arranged in the bottom of the vessel, and is characterized in that the plasma torch is peripheral to a jacket to form a plasma torch peripherally surrounding supply space for the finely divided raw material particles and that nozzles, preferably jacket nozzles, are provided in the base of the metallurgical vessel for supplying oxygen-containing gas and carbon.
- the metallic outer jacket 1 of the metallurgical vessel 2 is provided with a refractory lining 3.
- the vessel 2 is closed with a lid 4, which is also lined fireproof.
- An exhaust pipe 5 connects to the cover 4.
- a substantially vertical cylindrical vessel part 7 adjoins the lower vessel part 6.
- Base electrode 11 used for the plasma torch 9.
- the plasma torch 9 is peripherally surrounded by a jacket 12, through which an annular space 13 is formed which surrounds the plasma torch 9 and which is open to the vessel bottom 10.
- This annular space 13 can also be formed by a plurality of inflation lances for the raw material particles surrounding the plasma torch.
- bottom nozzles 14 which are preferably designed as jacket nozzles, through which oxygen and / or carbon is blown into the interior 8 of the vessel 2.
- a slag tap hole 15 and a metal tap hole 16 are provided in the lower part 6 of the vessel.
- the slag in the vessel is designated 17, the molten metal 18 and the plasma jet 19.
- the raw material jacket surrounding the plasma jet bears the reference number 20.
- oxygen and / or carbon is injected both from above through the annular space 13 (or the inflation lances) in addition to the insert and reducing gas and from below through the floor nozzles in order to build up a foam slag.
- Foaming of the slag is only possible if the slag has a sufficient FeO content and carbon content, in the form of elemental carbon or carbon-saturated metal splashes. In this case, the carbon and oxygen of the iron oxide react to form carbon monoxide. This gas formation leads to an expansion or foaming of the slag. In addition, an adequate slag height and corresponding slag viscosity are required for the foaming of the slag.
- the carbon thus serves for reduction, for heating (through combustion with oxygen) and for foaming.
- the fine ore supply is discontinued, but oxygen and / or carbon continue to be injected through the floor nozzles 14.
- the process in the subsequent final reduction phase is now carried out in such a way that, on the one hand, the desired tapping temperature and on the other hand a low metal oxide content is achieved by a relatively high excess of carbon in the slag 17.
- the slag tap hole 15 is then slagged off and the metal tap hole 16 is tapped.
- the slag compositions change accordingly.
- guideline values of the slag analysis for the melting and finished melting phase in the production of pig iron-like liquid metal with approx. 2% carbon are given in a basic reduction reactor.
- the high temperature generated by the plasma torch 9 is of particular advantage primarily in the melting phase.
- a metal sump 18 to remain in the melting vessel 2 after tapping; when charging again, the blowing in of carbon and / or oxygen (both from below and from above) - as an additional energy source to the plasma torch 9 - can then be started immediately.
- the method according to the invention also offers the possibility of reducing the exhaust gas quantities through targeted process control (through a suitable supply of energy by the plasma torch 9 and metered blowing in of heating, reducing and foaming gas ) to be kept as low as possible.
- the hot exhaust gases can expediently be used for preheating and / or partial pre-reduction of the ore used.
