Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for supplying protective gas to a heat treatment furnace with several zones, in particular an entry and exit zone and a heating zone in which the protective gas is obtained using source gas is generated with an air separation plant working on site.
- the invention relates to a corresponding heat treatment plant.
- This reaction is usually carried out with one next to the one or more heat treatment furnaces arranged, in the core of a gas generator consisting of a catalyst accomplished, and the so-called endogas formed in the generator is in Usually supplied to the associated heat treatment system without further treatment. It is also known to use the same starting gas mixture in an oven arranged and in this way already set to a higher temperature level Implement catalyst retort and the product gas either directly into the furnace allow to flow in or also to subtract and distribute (see e.g. DE 39 42 810 A1.
- EP-A-0 261 461 discloses a method for the heat treatment of metallic workpieces by means of a continuous furnace.
- the treatment atmosphere in the area of the heating zone is supplied in the form of a gas mixture which is generated by a catalytic reaction of a hydrocarbon and air-containing gas.
- the areas at the oven inlet and outlet are supplied with nitrogen.
- the oxygen-contaminated nitrogen obtained from the dismantling plant directly that is to say without post-purification, as a protective gas, specifically in furnace zones in which the oxygen content of the protective gas is less critical.
- these are generally the colder supply and removal tunnels in front of the heating chamber (prechamber) or, in the case of continuous systems, the inlet area in front of the heating zone or treatment chamber (inlet chamber with subsequent zone) and the cooling zone or cooling chamber of the system on the outlet side.
- the nitrogen shielding gas not warmed up according to the invention also acts as a particularly effective cooling gas.
- the proportion of oxygen to be converted in this gas fraction is very high - namely at least about 25% - so that an effective conversion reaction between the oxygen of the said product gas and a correspondingly admixed KW gas is appropriate 1.5 O 2 + 3.5 N 2 + 3 CH 4 ⁇ 3 CO + 6 H 2 + 3.5 N 2 can take place. Since the starting gas used here has a relatively low nitrogen content, the unnecessarily heated gas content is relatively low compared to the above-mentioned post-purification of impure nitrogen, and the formation of protective gas is therefore comparatively energy-efficient.
- the predominantly Nitrogen-containing fraction with a purity of at least 98.5% and the oxygen-rich starting gas fraction is produced with 25 to 35% oxygen.
- a particularly favorable embodiment of the procedure according to the invention is thereby characterized in that the oxygen-rich starting gas with one in the heat treatment furnace arranged catalyst retort is implemented, the retort and the reactants to a temperature above 500 ° C, preferably above 800 ° C, are heated, for which purpose the retort may be additionally heated.
- the figure shows an elongated continuous furnace D with an inlet zone 3, a central heating and treatment zone 5 and a cooling zone 7.
- a catalyst retort 2 inside the furnace, that is to say an aggregate containing a catalyst material and having gas outlet openings at its head end , arranged, which is connected via gas lines 6 and 8 on the one hand to a membrane-based, ie permeate air separation plant 1 and its oxygen outlet O 2+ and on the other hand is connected via lines 6 and 10 to a hydrocarbon source CnHm, eg natural gas.
- a hydrocarbon source CnHm eg natural gas.
- the second product gas outlet N 2 of the air separator 1 i.e.
- the one which supplies a nitrogen-rich gas is finally connected directly to the heat treatment furnace via lines 11, 12 and 14, the gas supply line, however, specifically into the furnace inlet zone 3 - line 12 - and into the furnace outlet zone 7 - Line 14 - done.
- the middle part of the heat treatment plant is not supplied with any gas which does not come from the nitrogen outlet of the air separation plant and is not further treated.
- the shielding gas requirement of the continuous furnace shown can be, for example, 150 m 3 / h.
- the permeation air separation plant 1 shown is now set so that approximately 110 m 3 of nitrogen gas with 99% purity are made available per hour.
- This nitrogen gas, the so-called retentate is fed to the inlet zone 3 and the outlet zone 7 of the furnace shown in a quantity of 55 m 3 / h in each case, without removing further oxygen therefrom.
- the still necessary for the heating zone 5, 40 m 3 / h of very low-oxygen protective gas are obtained according to the invention from the oxygen-rich gas, the so-called permeate, which also occurs in larger quantities in the operation of the air separation plant 1 described.
- this is done by mixing 15.6 m 3 of this permeate, which contains about 31% oxygen and 69% nitrogen, in mixer 9 with 7 m 3 / h of natural gas (methane) and catalytically gas mixture obtained in catalyst retort 2 is converted to a protective gas containing about 24% CO, 48% H 2 and 28% N 2 and is released as such into the heating zone 5 of the furnace.
- the catalyst 2 which is preferably a nickel catalyst, must be set to temperatures above 800 ° C., preferably 900 to 1050 ° C.
- a large part of the heat supply for maintaining this temperature level is already guaranteed by the heating in the heating zone 5 of the continuous furnace D, which is heated to, for example, 800 to 900 ° C.
- the protective gas quantity of 40 m 3 / h required for the heating zone is obtained.
- Excess oxygen-rich permeate is released to the environment via an outlet A installed in the gas line 8 or advantageously supplied as O 2 -enriched air to the other jet pipes instead of air as an oxygen carrier for heating the jet pipes.
- the shielding gas supplied in the middle part of the furnace represents a shielding gas consisting essentially of CO, H 2 and N 2 , while the shielding gas supplied on the inlet and outlet sides consists of almost pure nitrogen, the nitrogen purity for the complete avoidance of metallurgically disadvantageous effects at least about 99 % should be.
- the supply of differently composed protective gases according to the invention also results in a protective gas composition that varies somewhat over the length of the furnace, which leads to an equally locally varying gas reactivity, which has its peak in particular in the heating zone of the furnace and which decreases towards the furnace ends.
- an atmosphere with about 12% CO, 24% H 2 and 64% N 2 is usually established in the heating zone at the described conditions, which gives an atmosphere which is particularly advantageous for many annealing treatments, which is somewhat reducing and in terms of the carburizing effect has almost neutral properties for many materials.
- the supply of the cold nitrogen shielding gas in the outlet area of the continuous furnace achieves an improved cooling performance compared to other annealing processes.
- the method according to the invention thus has advantages such as the improved economy and the increased cooling capacity compared to methods in which only the nitrogen product of an on-site air separator is used for protective gas production, and thus represents an advantageous alternative to these methods.
