Definitions
- the invention is defined in claim 1 and relates to a method for melting metallic feedstocks in a shaft furnace where coke Metallic and non-metallic materials, such as iron and non-ferrous metals, Basalt and diabase, despite the development of electrical and flame-heated melting processes as before melted in coke-heated shaft ovens. So are still today approx. 60% of all iron materials are produced in cupola furnaces.
- oxygen either by enriching the Cupola furnace wind up to max. 25% or by direct injection with Subsonic speed is blown into the cupola furnace. Due to the high operating costs, however, oxygen is used only used discontinuously, e.g. for a quick start the cold oven or for a temporary increase in the Iron temperature. The possibility of increasing performance, i.e. Continuous use of oxygen is only used in exceptional cases used.
- melting performance diagram Fig. 1 By linking the influencing factors, wind volume, coke rate and Combustion ratio with the target sizes, melting performance diagram Fig. 1 with curves of the same coke set and the same Wind amount.
- This melt flow diagram known as the Jungbluth diagram must be determined empirically for each cupola. A Transfer to other cupola furnaces is not possible because of the operating behavior with changed boundary conditions, such as coke lumps, Coke reactivity, compound composition, wind speed, Oven pressure, temperature, etc. change immediately.
- the heat losses are lowest at the maximum temperature. If the amount of wind is too high, ie the flow rate is high, the furnace is blown over. If the air volume is too small, ie the flow rate is too low, the furnace is blown out. In both cases, the combustion temperature is reduced because, on the one hand, the additional N 2 ballast has to be heated and, on the other hand, heat is extracted through the additional CO formation. In addition, the iron accompanying elements are more strongly oxidized when overblown.
- the coke present in the middle of the furnace does not contribute to the reaction because the combustion air due to the low momentum cannot penetrate the bed in front of it.
- the reaction zone is in the immediate vicinity of the wind nozzle (Fig. 2a).
- the depth of penetration is not essential enlarge. Due to the higher oxygen supply, the reaction zone expanded upwards due to the pressure conditions (Fig. 2b).
- the even combustion over the furnace cross section i.e. the even distribution of the oxygen supply desirable.
- the impulse i.e. the The speed of the air or oxygen has been radiating up to now Targeted values to be designated as state of the art increased become.
- Patent application GB 2 018 295 describes a system with which the oxygen is built into the center of the wind vents Laval nozzles, i.e. blown in at supersonic speed to the wear of the refractory lining minimize.
- the Kökssatz could not be reduced.
- EP-A-0 554 022 discloses a method for melting metallic Feedstocks in a shaft furnace in which coke with preheated air and largely pure oxygen is burned and the flue gases in countercurrent heat the metal insert and the melt in the coke bed overheats and is carburized.
- a fixed subset of the Oxygen injected into the coke bed at supersonic speed is used.
- the remaining amount of oxygen is added to the wind in the wind ring in a controlled manner (Fig. 4).
- the oxygen enrichment in the wind is controlled and regulated by the components CO, CO 2 , O 2 , in the blast furnace gas.
- the reaction zone which has penetrated into the tongue in the middle of the cupola furnace as a result of the supersonic injection (FIG. 2 c), is expanded and evened out, since, due to the suction capacity of the supersonic jet, combustion air enriched with O 2 is also transported to the center of the furnace. (Fig. 2d)
- the furnace pressure is reduced and reduced the amount of blast furnace gas by 20%. Due to the The smaller the flow rate in the furnace, the amount of dust additionally reduced in proportion to the amount of blast furnace gas.
- the hot wind temperature increases by up to 30 ° C because the recuperator passes through the reduced amount of wind has to do less.
- the basic quantities can be selected from the diagram according to FIG. 3.
- the absolute amount of oxygen addition is determined by the desired Iron temperature determined. The iron temperature rises when the temperature in the coke bed rises. The temperature in the coke bed increases when the cooling effect of the accompanying oxygen Nitrogen is missing.
- the optimal ratio of the volume shares of CO to CO2 in the Top gas is the sum of the resulting operating costs determined. A more reducing atmosphere with higher ones Proportions of CO result in savings in silicon and higher Coke expenses. The optimal setting therefore depends also depending on the respective market prices of the raw materials. There are Times and countries where a more oxidizing mode of operation is economical. The cheapest ratio of CO to CO2 must therefore be checked from time to time and the appropriate one Amount of oxygen can be adjusted.
- the intended optimal attitude of CO to CO2 fluctuates, because by scattering the batches of Carbon to iron is produced. This short term Fluctuations can be caused by adjusting the addition of Oxygen can be balanced.
- the Boudouard reaction is prompt, because the temperature of the coke bed when adding Oxygen rises very quickly.
- the supply of the total amount of Oxygen to O1 and 02 is therefore controlled so that the Ratio of CO to CO2 at the most economical value is held. With this driving style, the least spread of analysis achieved.
