Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of molded coke and a shaft furnace for the production of such coke in which the heating and coking heat is supplied by an electrical energy supply and transferred by a recycled gas stream.
- the invention also relates to a method and an electrical heating device using a fluid-conducting granulated bed.
- Processes are known for manufacturing coke molded in a shaft furnace, in which a mass of molded coal balls circulates from top to bottom, against the flow of a recycled gas stream originating from a fraction of the gas produced by the coking and taken from the top of the oven to be reintroduced at the base of the latter.
- the coking of the molded balls takes place in a central zone of the furnace by gaseous contribution from the distillation.
- the heat energy was provided by an external electric heating, of the resistance electric oven type, however this technique has a poor yield and efficiency because the coke block is not heated uniformly. In fact, the coke undergoes excessive and too rapid overheating in the walls, which is detrimental to the mechanical strength of the balls (bursting and cracking) and to their metallurgical quality (reactivity).
- the cell furnace is in the form of a column with a straight section, substantially uniform over the entire interior height of the bed of circulating molded balls, comprising, on the one hand, electrodes arranged in a median zone of the side wall of the furnace, and on the other hand, mobile electrodes, which are introduced by the upper part of the furnace into the bed of circulating balls, and arranged in an adjustable manner at a level of the furnace higher than that of fixed electrodes.
- the localized current flow causing local heating by the Joule effect of the mass of balls, considerably reduces the resistivity and causes a concentration of electric currents in an area which is already too hot.
- the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a process for the manufacture of coke molded in a vertical tank oven, the structure of which optimizes the distribution of the supply of heat energy suitably distributed over the entire section of the oven, while by ensuring correct circulation of the coke mass and by achieving the optimum conditions for coking the molded coal balls.
- the subject of the invention is also a process for manufacturing metallized molded coke, characterized in that a coke, by a process as defined above, is coked with a charge of molded balls prepared by compacting a paste consisting of a binder, simple or mixed, of a mixture of suitable coals, and fine particles of a material based on the metallic element to be incorporated into the coke, in metallic or oxidized form.
- the material based on the metallic element consists of iron oxides, manganese ores and dust resulting from the production of ferro-manganese, chromite concentrates for the production of ferro-chromium, quartz fines and silica powders that must be recycled for the production of ferro-silicon.
- the subject of the invention is also a pot furnace for the manufacture of molded coke in the form of a substantially tubular enclosure delimiting a first preheating zone corresponding to the upper part of the enclosure, a second carbonization zone and coking corresponding to the central zone of the enclosure and a third coke cooling zone corresponding to the lower part of the enclosure, the oven comprising at its top sealed means for introducing a charge consisting of raw molded balls and means for recovering the gases produced and at its base sealed means for removing the coke and means for admitting a recycled gas stream, the intake means being connected, outside the oven, to the means for recovery of gases produced by recycling means, and electric heating means arranged in the wall of the second carbonization and coking zone, characterized in that the oven comprises a qu atrieme sealed secondary cooling zone connected upstream to the evacuation means of the third zone and downstream to a sealed evacuation airlock, the fourth zone comprising at its base at least one secondary cooling gas supply line connected the recycling means, and at its apex, at least one return pipe for the secondary cooling gases
- the watertight means for introducing the load consist of a sealed load supply airlock opening at its lower part into the first zone of the furnace by a distribution bell, the supply airlock being itself supplied by a rotating hopper.
- the means for evacuating the coke from the third zone comprises a rotating and movable floor in vertical translation opening out, via a sealed airlock, into the fourth secondary cooling zone.
- the electrical heating means are of the conduction type and consist of at least one pair of diametrically opposite electrodes, disposed at the base of the wall of the second zone of the enclosure of the oven, said wall forming, in this zone, a constriction of the internal section of passage of the bed of molded balls delimited by a shoulder against which the fixed electrodes are housed.
- the electrodes consist of segments, the profile of which in vertical section is L-shaped extending along each side of the shoulder so that one of the branches of L is horizontal.
- the electrode segments are circular and separated from the others by an intermediate wall of refractory and insulating material in the form of an inclined plane corresponding to the slope of the shoulder delimited by the L-profile. electrodes.
- This L-shaped profile is preferably chosen because it causes an embankment accumulation of coked balls and very conductive on the electrode that they protect.
- This protective slope is constantly renewed; it extends the electrode while protecting it from abrasion from the descending molded coke bed, and it isolates it from the hot zone of cooking and gases from the recycled gas stream, very hot at this level. This results in a reduction in heat losses and better mechanical resistance of the electrodes, especially if they are made of cooled alloy copper.
- the oven comprises an internal enclosure in the shape of a warhead in a refractory material provided with a central electrode cooperating with a peripheral electrode circulating along the internal wall of the enclosure.
- the two electrodes are supplied by a direct or single-phase current source.
- the electric heating means are of the induction type and consist of an induction coil coaxial with the tank and housed in the refractory lining of the furnace.
- the oven comprises an internal enclosure in the form of a warhead made of a refractory material, in which is housed a laminated magnetic core.
- the correct distribution of the heating energy is further improved by winding around this magnetic core an internal induction coil, coaxial with the external induction coil, and supplied in phase with the latter, by the same current source at medium frequency.
- the induction heating means consist of a set of pairs of induction coils arranged radially in the refractory wall of the furnace, defining an external inductor generating a rotating field passing horizontally through the tank.
- the oven comprises an internal enclosure in the shape of a warhead of refractory material in which is housed an internal inductor consisting of a set of radial coils arranged opposite the coils of the external inductor and determining a set of pairs of coupled coils which cooperate to generate a rotating field between the external inductor and the internal inductor.
- the electrical heating means consist of the combination of at least one pair of electrodes as described above generating conduction heating, and at least one coil generating induction heating .
- the process of the invention consists in coking, continuously, in an electrically heated tank furnace, by conductor and / or by induction, balls of dried coal agglomerated by binders and molded in press.
- the pyrolysis of the balls in the furnace causes the emission of distillation gases from the coals and binders, a large part of which is recycled at the base of the furnace, after brief purification. These recycled gases form an ascending gas stream which cools the balls in the lower part of the furnace and the progressive heating, in counter-current, of the balls which descend the upper part of the furnace.
- the balls are successively preheated and dried, then smoked.
- the carbonization then ensures the mechanical consolidation of the balls.
- the progressive heating of the balls completely eliminates the volatile matter around 850 ° C and the balls then become electrically conductive.
- This conductivity is used to pass electric currents through the ball bed which cause the balls to be heated by the Joule effect in their mass and at the points of contact between them. This electric heating completes the cooking and coking of the balls at the desired temperature.
- the ball of balls then behaves like a heating grid which overheats against the current the ascending gas flow coming from the lower part of the oven in which the coked balls are cooled.
- the ascending gas stream then essentially consists of hydrogen (and methane). By its particular thermal and electrical properties, it constitutes an excellent vector of heat exchange between the gases and the balls, which avoids the formation of arcs and discharges between the balls.
- the raw molded balls are prepared by first making a paste by kneading with a mixed binder (pitch, tar, asphalt ...) of coals previously mixed, dried, crushed and preheated. The preheated dough is then compacted into balls in a tangential cylindrical hoop press.
- a mixed binder pitch, tar, asphalt

- the conductive granulated bed is compacted in the tubular enclosure of the oven whose walls are lined with insulating refractories. This granulated bed rests on a refractory grid through which the gas to be overheated is blown. It can also be placed between two layers of non-conductive material such as sand, so as to center the lines of flight.
