Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a sintered ore and a sintering machine, each of which produces a sintered ore.
  • a sintered ore which is a main raw material of a blast furnace iron making process is produced generally by a process illustrated in Fig. 15 .
  • raw materials for the sintered ore for example, there may be mentioned a fine iron ore, recovered fine in steel works, under-sieve fine of a sintered ore (returned ore), a CaO-containing auxiliary raw material such as limestone and dolomite, an agglomeration assistant such as burnt lime, coke fine, and anthracite.
  • These raw materials are supplied from a plurality of hoppers 1 onto a conveyer at a predetermined ratio.
  • the supplied raw materials are blended together and agglomerated in a drum mixer 2, a rotary kiln 3, and the like with the addition of an adequate amount of water, thus forming a sintering raw material which is quasi-particles having an average particle size in a range of 3.0 and 6.0 mm.
  • a particle-size regulated lump ore is supplied from a hearth hopper 4 to form a hearth layer on a grate of a sintering machine pallet 8.
  • the sintering raw material is charged onto the hearth layer on the endless traveling sintering machine pallet 8 from a surge hopper 5 located above a sintering machine through a drum feeder 6 and a charge chute 7, thereby forming a charged bed 9, which is also called a sintering bed, of the sintering raw material.
  • the thickness (height) of the sintering bed is generally in a range of approximately 400 to 800 mm.
  • a carbonaceous material in a surface layer of this sintering bed 9 is ignited by an ignition furnace 10 positioned above the sintering bed 9, and at the same time, downward air suction is performed using wind boxes 11 located below the pallet 8, so that the carbonaceous material in the sintering bed is successively combusted.
  • the sintering raw material is combusted and melted, thereby forming a sintered cake.
  • the sintered cake thus obtained is crushed and regulated in size, thereby being collected as a product sintered ore composed of agglomerates having a size of 5.0 mm or more.
  • the ignition furnace 10 ignites the surface layer of the sintering bed.
  • the carbonaceous material thus ignited in the sintering bed has a certain width and is continuously combusted by suction air sucked from an upper layer portion of the sintering bed down to a lower layer portion thereof by the window boxes, and this combustion zone gradually propagates to a lower layer and forward (downstream side) as the pallet 8 travels.
  • a production rate (t/hr) of a sintering machine is generally determined by a sinter productivity (t/hr ⁇ m 2 ) ⁇ the area of the sintering machine (m 2 ). That is, the production rate of a sintering machine varies with the width and length thereof, the thickness of a raw material charged layer (the thickness of a sintering bed), the bulk density of a sintering raw material, a sintering (combustion) time, a yield, and the like.
  • FIG. 16 is a graph showing the pressure loss and the temperature distribution in a sintering bed having a thickness of 600 mm, this graph being obtained when a front line of a combustion zone moving in the sintering bed reaches a position therein approximately 400 mm above a pallet (the position approximately 200 mm below the surface of the sintering bed)-
  • the pressure loss distribution at that moment is approximately 60% in a wet zone and approximately 40% in a combustion and melting zone.
  • FIG. 17 shows the temperature distribution in a sintering bed at high productivity of a sintered ore and that at low productivity thereof, that is, at a high pallet traveling speed and a low pallet traveling speed.
  • a holding time (hereinafter referred to as " holding time in a high-temperature region") in a temperature zone in which the temperature is maintained at 1,200°C or more at which raw material particles begin to melt is expressed by t 1 in the case of the low productivity and by t 2 in the case of the high productivity which emphasizes the productivity.
  • the holding time t 2 in a high-temperature region is shorter than t 1 in the case of the low productivity.
  • Fig. 18(a) shows a proceeding process of sintering in a sintering bed on a sintering machine pallet
  • Fig. 18(b) shows the temperature distribution (heat pattern) in a sintering process in the sintering bed
  • Fig. 18(c) shows a yield distribution of a sintered cake.
  • the temperature in an upper portion of the sintering bed is not likely to increase as compared to that in a lower layer portion thereof, and the holding time in a high-temperature region is also decreased.
  • Patent Document 1 has disclosed a technique in which after a sintering bed is ignited, a gas fuel is sprayed thereon.
  • flammable gas a gas fuel
  • LPG propane gas
  • LNG natural gas
  • a gas at a high concentration is used.
  • the amount of a carbonaceous material is not decreased when the flammable gas is sprayed, the temperature inside a sintering layer is increased to as high as more than 1,380°C.
  • Patent Document 2 has also disclosed a technique in which, after a sintering bed is ignited, a flammable gas is added to air sucked into the sintering bed.
  • a supply is preferably performed approximately 1 to 10 minutes after the ignition, since a red-hot sintered ore remains in a surface layer portion immediately after the ignition by an ignition furnace, the probability of causing a fire accident by combustion of the flammable gas is high depending on the way of the supply thereof, and although there has not been so many concrete descriptions, even when a flammable gas is combusted in a sintering zone which is already sintered, the effect cannot be obtained.
  • Patent Document 3 has disclosed a technique in which in order to obtain a high temperature inside a sintering bed of a sintering raw material, a hood is provided above the sintering bed and a mixed gas of air and a coke oven gas is sprayed at a position just behind an ignition furnace through the hood.
  • a hood is provided above the sintering bed and a mixed gas of air and a coke oven gas is sprayed at a position just behind an ignition furnace through the hood.
  • the temperature of a combustion and melting zone in a sintering layer is also increased to as high as more than 1,38Q°C by this technique, an effect of spraying a coke oven gas cannot be obtained, and if a flammable mixed gas ignites in a space above a sintering bed, a fire accident may occur with a high probability; hence, this technique has not been practically used.
  • Patent Document 4 has disclosed a method of simultaneously spraying a low-melting point solvent, a carbonaceous material, and a flammable gas at a position just behind an ignition furnace.
  • this method since the flammable gas is sprayed while flame remains on a surface, the probability of causing a fire accident in a space above a sintering bed is high, and since the width of a sintering zone cannot be sufficiently increased (approximately less than 15 mm, an effect of spraying a flammable gas cannot be fully obtained.
  • Patent Document 5 As thus has been described, the conventional techniques thus proposed all have serious problems against practical use thereof, and development of a practical technique of spraying a flammable gas has been strongly desired.

  • a particle-size regulated lump ore having a predetermined particle size is supplied from a hearth hopper 4 to form a hearth layer on a grate
  • the sintering raw material is charged onto the hearth layer on the endless traveling sintering machine pallet 8 from the surge hopper 5 through a drum feeder 6 and a charge chute 7, thereby forming a sintering bed 9 which is also called a sintering bed.
  • the thickness (height) of the sintering bed is generally in a range of approximately 400 to 800 mm.
  • a carbonaceous material in a surface layer of this sintering bed 9 is ignited by an ignition furnace 10 positioned above the sintering bed 9, and at the same time, downward air suction is performed using wind boxes 11 located below the pallet 8, so that the carbonaceous material in the sintering bed is successively combusted.
  • a liquid fuel spray device 15 is provided which atomizes a liquid fuel and then sprays it at an upper side of the sintering bed 9 in an approximately horizontal direction.
  • At least one liquid fuel spray device 15 is disposed at a position located at a downstream side of the ignition furnace 10 in a pallet travelling direction which is a direction in a process in which a combustion and melting zone moves in the sintering bed 9, and the supply of a liquid fuel mist into the sintering bed 9 is preferably performed at a position after the carbonaceous material in the sintering bed 9 is ignited.
  • At least one liquid fuel spray device 15 is provided at an arbitrary position which is a downstream side of the ignition furnace 10 and which is a position at which a combustion front already propagates below the surface layer, and in order to control the cold strength of a targeted product sintered ore, the size, the position, and the number of devices are determined as described below.
  • this liquid fuel spray device 15 has a hood 16 covering an upper portion of the sintering machine pallet 8, and an opening 17 having a relatively large area is provided in an upper portion of this hood 16.
  • plural sets, such as 9 sets, each composed of a compressed air supply pipe 21 and a liquid fuel supply pipe 22, which are along a traveling direction of the sintering machine pallet 8, are provided above the sintering bed 9 with predetermined intervals in a width direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the sintering machine pallet 8.
  • spray mechanisms 23 are provided with predetermined intervals in the traveling direction of the sintering machine pallet 8. These spray mechanisms 23 are disposed in a staggered manner along the traveling direction of the sintering machine pallet 8 so that adjacent spray mechanisms 23 in the width direction of the sintering machine pallet 8 do not face each other.
  • the number of sets each containing the compressed air supply pipe 21 and the liquid fuel supply pipe 22 is not limited to 9 sets, and a plurality of sets, such as 3 to 15 sets, is preferably provided.
  • the spray mechanism 23 is formed of a vertical pipe 24 connected to a lower surface of a compressed gas supply pipe 21, a mixing portion 25 formed at a middle portion of this vertical pipe 24, a connecting pipe 26 connecting between a lower surface of the liquid fuel supply pipe 22 and this mixing portion 25, and a branch spray portion 27 provided at a lower end of the vertical pipe 24 and branched to have two branches in the width direction of the sintering machine pallet 8.
  • the branch spray portion 27 has two spray nozzle portions 28a and 28b symmetrically provided with the vertical pipe 24 interposed therebetween. From each of these spray nozzle portions 28a and 28b, for example, a liquid fuel mist 29 atomized in the form of fine particles having a size of 100 ⁇ m or less is sprayed in an approximately horizontal direction.
  • the reason the particle size of the liquid fuel mist 29 is set to 100 ⁇ m or less is that when the particle size is more than 100 ⁇ m since a part thereof remains in a surface layer portion of the sintering bed 9 and starts to be combusted at the surface layer portion, a holding time in a high-temperature region in an upper layer and a middle layer portion of the sintering bed 9, in which insufficient combustion occurs, is not increased, and the liquid fuel mist 29 is wastefully consumed.
  • the generation amount thereof is decreased as the particle size is decreased, and hence the particle size of the liquid fuel mist 29 is preferably selected in a range of 20 to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the particle size of the liquid fuel mist 29 is 50 ⁇ m or less, while the combustion above the sintering bed 9 and at the surface layer portion thereof is suppressed, the mist 29 passes through crack portions in a sintered cake formed in the surface layer to reach the combustion and melting zone, or after being once vaporized in the sintered cake, the mist 29 passes therethrough in the form of gas to reach the combustion and melting zone, so that the combustion occurs.
  • the particle size is less than 20 ⁇ m, the generation amount of the liquid fuel mist 29 is decreased, and as a result, a preferable effect of increasing the holding time in a high-temperature region obtained by introduction of the liquid fuel mist 29 into the sintering bed 9 cannot be obtained.
  • a central line of each of the spray nozzle portions 28a and 28b has a front-descending slope which gradually descends from the vertical pipe 24 toward the front end and is set, for example, to have an open angle of approximately 85° with respect to the central axis of the vertical pipe 24. Since the spray nozzle portions 28a and 29a each have a slightly front-descending slope, when the spray of the liquid fuel mist is completed, no liquid fuel mist remains in the form of a liquid in each of the spray nozzle portions 28a and 28b, and the mist is all dripped out therefrom.
  • the open angle described above is preferably in a range of 20° to 90°. The angle is more preferably in a range of 45° to 85°.
  • the spray mechanisms 23 are disposed in a staggered manner in the traveling direction of the sintering machine pallet 8, as shown in Fig. 5 , the liquid fuel mists 29 sprayed from the spray nozzle portions 28a and 28b of each spray mechanism 23 do not interfere with each other and are uniformly sprayed and dispersed on the sintering bed 9. Subsequently, by using a suction force of the wind boxes not shown provided below the sintering machine pallet 8, the liquid fuel mist 29 is introduced into a deep portion (lower layer) of the sintering bed through the sintered cake generated in the surface layer of the sintering bed 9.
  • each compressed gas supply pipe 21 is connected to a compressed gas supply main pipe 31 through a flow meter FC at an upstream side of the sintering machine pallet 8 and further through a control valve VC, and this compressed gas supply main pipe 31 is connected to a compressed gas supply source 32.
  • This compressed gas supply source 32 has a storage tank 33 which stores a gas using any one of flame extinguishing nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor as a primary component, and the gas stored in this storage tank 33 is compressed into a compressed gas by a compressor 34, is stored in a receiver tank 35, and is then supplied therefrom to each control valve VC through the compressed gas supply main pipe 31.
  • a main flow path LM in which the control valve VC is inserted and a bypass flow path LB which supplies a relatively small amount of compressed air and which bypasses the control valve VC.
  • a small amount of the compressed gas is supplied from the receiver tank 35 to the spray mechanism 23 through the bypass flow path LB and the flow meter FC, so that this bypass flow path LB prevents the spray nozzle portions 28a and 28b of the spray mechanism 23 from being clogged.
  • Each liquid fuel supply pipe 22 is also connected to a liquid fuel supply main pipe 36 through a flow meter FF at an upstream side of the sintering machine pallet 8 and further through a control valve VF, and this liquid fuel supply main pipe 36 is connected to a liquid fuel storage tank 38 functioning as a liquid fuel supply source through a fuel supply pump 37.
  • the liquid fuel supply pipes 22 and the liquid fuel supply main pipe 36 are each preferably obliquely disposed to have a front-descending slope in which the placement height at a downstream side is low as compared to that at an upstream side so that when the spray of the liquid fuel mist 29 is completed, no liquid fuel remains in the liquid fuel supply pipes 22 and the liquid fuel supply main pipe 36.
  • liquid fuel As the liquid fuel, at least one of a petroleum-based liquid fuel, such as lamp oil, light oil, or heavy oil, an alcohol-based liquid fuel, such as ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol, an ether-based liquid fuel, and another hydrocarbon -based liquid fuel, each of which is liquid at ordinary temperature, is used and is stored in the liquid fuel storage tank 38.

  • the installation position, the size, and the number of the liquid fuel spray devices 15 are determined as described below.
  • the liquid fuel mist 29 is supplied (introduced) on the sintering bed 9.

  • Coke fine functioning as a coagulating agent is ignited by an ignition furnace, and a combustion zone by the coke fine descends in a sintering bed of a sintering raw material, so that a sintering reaction proceeds downward.
  • a sintering zone is formed in a sintering completion zone, a gas combustion zone of a liquid fuel gas is generated when a liquid fuel is sprayed between the sintering completion zone and a coke fine combustion zone, and at this point, the holding time in a high-temperature region is increased while the maximum temperature is not increased.
  • a right side indicates a sintering reaction in the case of using the liquid fuel mist according to the present invention.
  • the liquid fuel mist is gasified in the sintering completion zone, and hence, in the present invention, the particle size of the liquid fuel mist is set to 100 ⁇ m or less and preferably set to 50 ⁇ m or less as described above.
  • the particle size of the liquid fuel mist is set to 100 ⁇ m or less, since the liquid fuel mist (liquid fuel particles) and its agglomerated particles are gasified into a liquid fuel vapor, the gas combustion zone of the liquid fuel gas is generated when the liquid fuel is sprayed as the liquid fuel mist between the sintering completion zone and the coke fine combustion zone, and at this stage, the holding time in a high-temperature region is increased without increasing the maximum temperature, so that the same phenomenon as that obtained by using a gas fuel is obtained.
  • a gasification (liquid fuel vapor) region of the liquid fuel particles is important. That is, first, the liquid fuel is preferably sprayed from a spray nozzle so that the vapor concentration thereof in the gasification region of the liquid fuel shown in Fig. 11(b) is set to not more than the lower limit concentration of combustion shown in Table 1.
  • the vapor concentration thereof is necessarily set to 75% or less of the lower limit concentration of combustion so as not to be combusted in the surface layer portion of the sintering completion zone, and the lower limit of the vapor concentration is set to 1% or more of the lower limit concentration of combustion in order to use fuel heat.
  • the vapor concentration is preferably in a range of 4% to 25% of the lower limit concentration of combustion.
  • the upper limit is determined in consideration of safety against a fire accident and the like, and the lower limit is determined by an effective heat quantity.

  • the addition amount of coke fine is necessarily increased so as to expand the skirt of a region at a temperature of 1,200°C or more, which is a high-temperature region; however, at the same time, the maximum temperature is necessarily increased.
  • a temperature pattern obtained when a liquid fuel is used is shown by D.

  • the skirt of a region of 1,200°C or more is expanded, and a holding time F in a high-temperature region can be ensured.
  • Fig. 12 are photographs of pot tests according to a conventional sintering method and a sintering method using a liquid fuel mist, and by the conventional sintering, since coke fine combustion heat is used, the coke fine ratio is high. In addition, the combustion and melting zone which looked white although the ratio was increased was only up to 65 mm, in this experiment.
  • the temperature of this region must be equal to or more than the boiling point of the liquid fuel and equal to or less than the ignition point thereof. Accordingly, the phenomenon shown in Fig. 12 can be observed.
  • the temperature of the gasification region (sintering completion zone) is more than the ignition point (high concentration close to the lower limit concentration of combustion), as shown in Fig. 13 , since the liquid fuel vapor is combusted on the surface of the sintering completion zone before entering the coke fine combustion zone, the effect cannot be obtained, and adverse influences, such as oxygen deficiency, may occur on the sintering operation.
  • the liquid fuel mist may be supplied at an arbitrary position until the sintering is completed.
  • the other reasons the liquid fuel mist is supplied after the layer of the sintered cake is formed are as follows.
  • the liquid fuel mist is preferably supplied.
  • the reason for this is that when the combustion and melting zone has a thickness of less than 15 mm, by an cooling effect caused by air and the liquid fuel mist sucked through a sintering layer (sintered cake), even if the liquid fuel mist is combusted, the effect thereof is not sufficient, and hence, the thickness of the combustion and melting zone cannot be increased.
  • the thickness of the combustion and melting zone is 15 mm or more, preferably 20 mm or more, and more preferably 30 mm or more, when the liquid fuel mist is supplied, the thickness of the combustion and melting zone is significantly increased, and the holding time in a high-temperature region can be increased, so that a sintered ore having a high cold strength can be obtained.
  • the liquid fuel mist is preferably introduced into the sintering bed 9 at a position at which the combustion front descends below the surface layer, and the combustion and melting zone descends from the surface layer by 100 mm or more and more preferably 200 mm or more, that is, the liquid fuel mist is preferably supplied so as to pass through a sintered cake region (sintering layer) generated in the middle layer and the lower layer of the sintering bed 9 without combustion and so as to combust at the stage at which the combustion front moves from the surface layer by 100 mm or more.
  • a sintered cake region sintered cake region
  • the reason for this is that when the combustion front is located at a position 100 mm or more below the surface layer, the adverse influence of cooling by air sucked through the sintering layer is reduced, and the thickness of the combustion and melting zone can be increased. Furthermore, when the combustion and melting zone is located at a position 200 mm or more below the surface layer, the influence of cooling by air can be almost eliminated, and the thickness of the combustion and melting zone can be increased to 30 mm or more.
  • the liquid fuel mist is preferably supplied in the vicinities of the sidewalls at the two end portions in the pallet width direction at which the yield is considerably decreased.

  • the introduction of the liquid fuel mist into the sintering bed also indicates the promotion of re-heating of the generated sintered cake. That is, the supply of this liquid fuel mist is performed to supply a liquid fuel mist having a high reactivity compared to that of a solid fuel to a portion at which heat deficiency is intrinsically liable to occur due to a short holding time in a high-temperature region and the cold strength of a sintered ore is low, and hence, this supply is responsible to recover and expand the combustion and melting zone by compensation for combustion heat at the portion at which heat deficiency is liable to occur.
  • the liquid fuel mist is preferably supplied from the upper portion of the sintering bed so that at least part of the liquid fuel mist introduced into the sintering bed reaches the combustion and melting zone in a non-combusted state and is combusted at a position at which the combustion heat is necessarily compensated for.

  • the thickness in the top to bottom direction and the width in the pallet travelling direction of the combustion and melting zone are increased, and this is reflected to the quality improvement of the product sintered ore.
  • the middle layer portion and the lower layer portion each having a high yield distribution since the holding time in a high-temperature region can be further controlled, the yield can be further improved.

  • the improvement in cold strength of the sintered ore may cause an increase in gas flow resistance and a decrease in productivity; however, in the present invention, these problems are solved by also controlling the ultimate maximum temperature and the holding time in a high-temperature region, and in addition, the cold strength of the sintered ore can be improved.
