  • the present invention relates to a method for charging material into a blast furnace, in particular, a method for charging iron ore and coke into a blast furnace by use of a bell-less charging device.
  • iron ores and coke are alternately charged, and thereby in an upper furnace part (hereinafter, referred to as shaft) a charged layer having a layer structure thereof is formed.
  • Amounts of one layer of iron ores and one layer of coke are called one charge of iron ores and one charge of coke, respectively.
  • Each of the one charge of iron ores and one charge of coke is not necessarily charged at one time into the furnace and, in some cases, is charged into the furnace divided into a plurality of times.
  • the divided ores and divided coke are respectively called as one batch of ores and one batch of coke.

  • JP-A No.60-56003 discloses a technology in which from 1.5 to 8% by weight of coke that is charged in one charge is intensively charged in the center part of a furnace.
  • the center charge of coke has not only an effect of reducing the permeability resistance in the furnace but also an effect of avoiding or reducing the deterioration of coke due to so-called solution loss reaction in which, since ore is not so much present in the center part of the furnace, carbon dioxide generated by the reduction of ore oxidizes coke. Furthermore, a strength control value of the coke itself can be lowered and thereby enabling to use cheap and low quality coal; accordingly, material coal for the manufacture of coke can be reduced in cost.
  • the discharge from a material hopper has to be carried out divided in three batches of a batch for normal charge of coke, a batch for center charge of coke and a batch for mix charge.
  • a third object is to provide a material charging method of a bell-less blast furnace. According to the method, in center coke charge that uses a charging chute in a bell-less blast furnace, a particle diameter of coke is made largest at the furnace center part, thereby a gas flow in a furnace is formed at a furnace center part, and thereby a stable operation is enabled.
  • a fourth object is to provide a material charging method of a bell-less blast furnace. According to the method, without separately disposing a charging device exclusive for coke and without increasing the number of batches of material, coke larger in the particle diameter than one being charged in a peripheral part can be selectively charged in a center part of the blast furnace.

  • the chute of the bell-less charging device of a blast furnace is rotated with a inclination angle thereof increasing sequentially and stepwise from zero that is a vertical state; when a discharge amount of coke stored in one of furnace top bunkers becomes in the range of 5 to 50% by mass of a coke charge amount for one batch, discharge of ore stored in another furnace top bunker is begun; and thereby the coke and ore are simultaneously charged. Accordingly, in the neighborhood of the furnace center part only the coke is filled; and on a furnace wall side in the surroundings thereof, a mixture of the coke and ore is filled. As a result, the mix charge of the coke and ore, without interrupting owing to the transporting capacity of material of the furnace top, can be always smoothly carried out.
  • the present invention is a method of charging material in a bell-less blast furnace (hereinafter referred to as embodiment 2), the method, in a material charging method of a bell-less blast furnace where by use of a bell-less charging device ore and coke as material are charged in a blast furnace, being characterized in that a mixed material obtained by mixing ore and coke is stored in one of furnace top bunkers; and, by rotating a charging chute about a blast furnace neutral axis and sequentially varying a inclination angle of the charging chute, during at least one reciprocation of the charging chute in a radius direction in the blast furnace, the whole amount of the mixed material stored in the furnace top bunker is charged in the blast furnace.

  • charge periods of ore and coke are as that shown in a conceptual diagram shown in Fig.2A.
  • coke is discharged from a furnace top bunker (for instance, 1a) where the coke is stored, and when a discharge amount of the coke from the furnace top bunker becomes 5 to 50% by mass of a coke charge amount for one batch stored in the furnace top bunker, from another furnace top bunker (for instance, 1b) where ore is stored the ore is begun discharging. Thereby, at the beginning, the center charge of coke, and, halfway on, the mix charge of coke and ore can be performed.
  • Fig.3 shows a case where after firstly three rotations are carried out to charge coke, the mix charge of coke and ore is carried out. In this case, immediately after the coke charge, only the coke is charged on a furnace center side; accordingly, a deposit layer C 2 made only of coke is formed in the furnace center part. Thereafter, ore is charged together with the coke; accordingly, a mixed layer C 2 + O 1 of the coke and ore is formed.

  • the mixed material 20 in the furnace top bunker 1 cannot be avoided from locally varying in the mixing ratio. That is, while an average particle diameter of ore is such small as substantially 15 mm, an average particle diameter of coke is such large as substantially 50 mm; accordingly, when the mixed material 20 is thrown into the furnace top bunker 1, coke relatively large in the particle diameter rolls toward a wall side of the furnace top bunker 1 and ore relatively small in the particle diameter tends to pile up at a position where it is thrown in.
  • the mixed material 20 when the mixed material 20 is discharged from a lower part of the furnace top bunker 1, of the mixed material 20 stored in the furnace top bunker 1, the mixed material 20 distributed in a vertical direction from a lower layer part positioned immediately above a discharge outlet to a surface part is predominantly discharged, on a portion immediately above the discharge outlet where a pile level is lowered, the mixed material 20 flows in from the surroundings thereof (so-called funnel flow), and thereby the discharge proceeds.

This is repeated until the charge of the whole amount of the mixed material 20 in the furnace top bunker 1 comes to completion, and, during this period, the charging chute 5 is reciprocated at least once in a radius direction in the blast furnace. Accordingly, during the charge of the whole amount of the mixed material 20 stored in one furnace top bunker 1, on an arbitrary position on the material pile surface 8, the mixed material 20 is charged twice or more.
  • the inclination angle ⁇ of the charging chute 5 is set at several steps and each of the steps is assigned to a number (hereinafter referred to as notch number). Accordingly, after the charging chute 5 is rotated once at a predetermined notch number and the mixed material 20 is charged, the notch number is changed to the subsequent notch number followed by continuing the charge of the mixed material 20, and thereby the embodiment 2 can be applied to an existing bell-less blast furnace.
  • Fig.5 is a sectional view schematically showing an example where the embodiment 2 is applied to charge a mixed material.

  • Fig.5 shows a state when the charge of the whole amount of the mixed material 20 came to completion at the twelfth rotation.
  • the charging chute 5 rotates once at a predetermined inclination angle 0 about the blast furnace neutral axis; accordingly, in Fig.5, the mixed material 20 is charged on both sides of the blast furnace neutral axis. However, in Fig.5, only one side is shown.

Accordingly, the ore and coke can be distributed on the material pile surface 8 with a definite mixing ratio. As a result, the gas permeability of a cohesive zone can be improved, a temperature fluctuation of the hot pig iron can be inhibited from occurring, and thereby the hot pig iron having uniform quality can be obtained.

  • the charge start position is larger than 0.4, since when the charge of the center coke is begun, an amount of coke charged by one rotation becomes slight, the coke does not flow in the neighborhood of the furnace center part, resulting in less effective in the effect of charging coarser particles in the furnace center part.
  • the charge start position is less than 0.1, since a distance through which the charged coke flows in becomes short, the effect of causing the particle segregation becomes less.
  • the coarse coke particle ratio is defined as follows. That is, after the charge experiment was over, at each of the respective dimensionless radius positions, a predetermined amount was sampled and a particle size distribution of the coke was measured, and, with particles having particle diameter larger than a median diameter of the charged coke as coarse particles, a ratio of the coarse particles in each of the samples is obtained as the coarse coke particle ratio.

Even at this time, in the bunker 1, similarly to the above, on a lower side, the coke 24a having a particle diameter of 55 mm or more, thereon the coke 24b having a particle diameter of 35 mm or more, in total for one batch of coke, are piled.
  • the particle diameter of the coke piled up in the blast furnace becomes larger in average in the center part than in the periphery part.
  • an amount of the coke 24a that has a particle diameter of 55 mm or more is empirically inferred from a pile height in the weighing hopper 23. Furthermore, an amount thereof in one batch is preferably in the range of 5 to 50% by mass. When it is less than 5% by mass, since an amount of the coke that has a larger particle diameter is less in the furnace center part, it is insufficient for coke having an ordinary particle diameter to flow in the furnace center part to form a strong center flow. On the other hand, when it is more than 50% by mass, although it is sufficient to form a strong center flow, an amount of coke of minus screen that cannot be used increases, resulting in causing inconvenience.

  • the inclination angles of the charging chute correspond to the notch numbers. The larger the notch number is, the smaller is set the inclination angle. Accordingly, immediately after the start of the charge, the charging chute is at 20th notch and in an almost vertical state, thereafter, with the inclination angle gradually increasing, the charge is carried out.
  • case 2 An operation situation of case 2 is shown in Table 2. Although, in order to improve the productivity, the mix charge of case 1 was given up and the agglomerated ore ratio was raised, the permeability resistance index in the furnace rose from 1.05 to 1.17, that is, the gas permeability was more deteriorated than the case 1.
  • the coke ratio and pulverized coal ratio denote amounts (kg) of coke and pulverized coal used to produce 1 ton of molten iron.
  • the agglomerated ore ratio is a numeral value that shows a mass ratio of sintered ore in ore and so on that are charged from the furnace top in terms of percentage.
  • the coke strength TI is a tumbler index.
  • the permeability resistance index can be expressed with the following equation.
  • a mixed material 20 in which coke is mixed in ore in advance was stored in one of furnace top bunkers 1.
  • An amount of coke in the mixed material 20 was set at 16% by mass with respect to an amount of total coke for one cycle of the ore layer and coke layer.
  • a flow rate of the mixed material 20 that is discharged from the furnace top bunker 1 was adjusted with a flow rate control gate 3. That is, as shown in Fig. 5, the charge was begun from a blast furnace wall side (that is, the mixed material 20a charged at the first rotation) , the mixed material 2 was charged with a inclination angle ⁇ sequentially diminishing, after the mixed material 20 was charged up to a predetermined inclination angle in a blast furnace center direction, with the inclination angle ⁇ sequentially increasing the mixed material 20 was charged.
  • the charging chute 5 reciprocated once in the radius direction in the blast furnace followed by charging again on the blast furnace wall side (that is, the mixed material 20b charged at the twelfth rotation) , and thereby the charge of the whole amount of the mixed material 20 in the furnace top bunker 1 came to completion.
  • a flow rate control gate 3 was controlled so that the whole amount of the mixed material 20 in the furnace top bunker 1 may be charged during twelve rotations of the charging chute 5. The charge was begun from a blast furnace wall side, the mixed material 20 was charged with a inclination angle ⁇ sequentially diminishing, and the charge of the whole amount of the mixed material 20 in the furnace top bunker 1 came to completion on the furnace center side.
  • the bell-less blast furnace used here is operated with the inclination angle ⁇ of the charging chute 5 set with the notch number.
  • the correspondence between the notch numbers and the inclination angles ⁇ 's is the same as that shown in Table 3.
  • the setting of the notch numbers when the mixed material 20 was charged is shown in Table 5.
  • the setting of the notch numbers in Table 5 denotes that the charging chute 5 made one rotation at each of the notch numbers. For instance, in the comparative example, the notch number [5] is written consecutively twice. This means that after the charging chute 5 was rotated twice at the notch number [5] , the charging chute 5 was rotated at the subsequent notch number [6].
  • the coke layer is formed, in both the inventive example and the comparative example, an amount corresponding to 10% by mass relative to the whole amount of coke for one cycle was charged to the blast furnace center part (so-called center coke), and remaining coke is evenly charged in a radius direction in the blast furnace. That is, the charge sequence was three-batch charge of coke-coke-ore (mixed material 20).
  • the inventive example and the comparative example, respectively, were operated for 5 days, and the coke ratio, pulverized coal ratio, blast temperature, hot metal temperature, and tap Si concentration were measured. Results thereof are shown together in Table 2.
  • the coke ratio and the pulverized coal ratio in Table 4, respectively, are ratios of a total amount of used coke and a total amount of used pulverized coal to a total tapping amount of molten iron for 5 days.
  • the blast temperature, hot metal temperature and Si concentration in the molten iron are average values of measurements obtained by periodically measuring (6 to 7 times a day). For the hot metal temperature and Si concentration in the molten iron, the dispersions of the measurements are also shown.
  • the dispersions of the hot metal temperatures and Si concentrations in the molten iron were reduced in comparison with that of the comparative examples. Accordingly, in the inventive example, even when the blast temperature was lowered by 30 degree centigrade in comparison with the comparative example, the stable operation was performed with the equivalent hot metal temperature maintained.
  • the gas utilization efficiency at the furnace center part is higher than that in the periphery thereof (up to a position of substantially 0.2 in terms of dimensionless radius). This is considered that as a result of the center coke being charged concentrated at the furnace center part, coarser particles in the coke flowed in the periphery part of the furnace center, thereby the gas flow in the furnace in this part was intensified and ore charged in this part was blown up, and thereby an ore layer was collapsed and flowed in the furnace center part.
  • the gas utilization efficiency at the furnace center part is such low as substantially 15%, a strong gas flow is formed in the furnace center part. Owing to the charge in the furnace being stably distributed, even when the fuel ratio is lowered to substantially 498 kg/t (molten iron) , the production the same as that of comparative example or more can be achieved.
  • a horizontal axis shows an amount of coke discharged from a bunker in terms of % (a total amount is assigned to 100 %) and a vertical axis shows a ratio (%) of 55 or more in a sampled coke. From Fig.11, it is obvious that according to the present invention, a particle diameter of coke that piles up in the early stage of the charge, that is, in the furnace center part becomes larger in comparison with that of the conventional charging method.
  • the mix charge of coke and ore and the center charge of coke can be simultaneously carried out.
  • an increase in the pressure loss in the furnace that is likely to occur when the operation of high production amount is carried out can be effectively inhibited from occurring, and thereby without increasing an amount used of high quality materials such as sintered ore and reduced iron, the molten iron can be increased in amount of production.
  • the ore and coke can be distributed with a constant mixing ratio, and thereby the hot metal temperature and the quality of molten iron can be inhibited from fluctuating.
  • a particle diameter of coke could be made the largest at the furnace center part, and thereby a stable operation could be realized. Furthermore, at lower fuel ratios the production the same as ever or more could be achieved, that is, more favorable blast furnace operation could be realized.
