Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for heating the blowing gas of a blast furnace by a plasma generator.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method for heating the blowing gas of a blast furnace by a plasma generator which does not require significant modifications to the blast furnace to which it is applied; it does not fundamentally change the operating principle of the blast furnace, and does not call into question the alignment of the nozzle and of the adjacent portion of the blowing gas pipe, while avoiding the risks of excessive wear and destruction of the walls of said pipe by the plasma.
  • the method for heating the blowing gas of a blast furnace by means of a plasma generator, said blowing gas circulating in a pipe into which the nozzle of said plasma generator opens. and which leads to an injection nozzle in said blast furnace, and the axis of said nozzle converging towards that of said pipe, is remarkable in that the acute angle A between the axis of the nozzle and the axis of the pipe is at most equal to 50 °, in that the distance 1 separating the point of intersection of the axis of the pipe and the axis of the nozzle from the center of the outlet orifice of said nozzle is at most equal to DD being the internal diameter of said pipe for the blowing gas and in that the ratio D, in which d is the internal diameter of said outlet orifice of the nozzle, is at least equal to 1.5.
  • the Applicant has in fact found that if the conditions mentioned above were met, there would be an envelope of blowing gas around the plasma jet, so that the walls of the pipe were insulated from contact with said plasma jet and therefore protected against the destructive action of it. It is noted that, under the aforementioned conditions, the penetration of the plasma jet creates a turbulence which ensures the scanning of the internal wall of the pipe by the blowing gas thus achieving a kind of cladding.
  • the angle A between the axis of the nozzle of the plasma generator and the axis of the blowing gas pipe is close to 40 °.
  • FIG. 1 a portion of the wall 1 of a blast furnace is shown, in which a nozzle 2 for injecting blowing gas is arranged.
  • the nozzle 2 is supplied with blowing gas via a pipe 3.
  • the nozzle 2 and the pipe 3 are aligned and have the same axis X-X.
  • the blowing gas circulating in the pipe 3 is for example at a temperature of 1300 ° C, with a pressure of 1.5 bar relative and its flow rate is for example 500 N m3 / h.
  • a plasma generator 4 is arranged, the nozzle 5 of which emits a jet of plasma through its outlet orifice 6.
  • the nozzle 5 enters the line 3 and its axis YY makes an acute angle A equal to 40 ° relative to the axis X -X of the pipe 3.
  • the plasma jet is for example at a temperature of 4300 ° C, with a pressure of 2.5 relative bars and its flow rate is for example 4500 Nm 3 / h.
  • FIG. 2 shows, on the one hand, that the temperature of wall 3 which is 1573 K (that is to say 1300 ° C.) upstream of point I, does not believe immediately downstream of it and, on the other hand, that the temperature increase downstream of point I is moderate and gradual, evolving regularly, without the appearance of hot spots, towards the mixing temperature which is around 2000 ° C (2273 K).
