Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for loading (charging) raw material into a blast furnace by charging the raw material into the furnace with a rotating chute.
- ore material such as sintered ore, pellet, lump ore, and the like and coke are charged into a blast furnace from the furnace top in a layer state, and combustion gas is injected through a tuyere to yield pig iron.
- combustion gas is injected through a tuyere to yield pig iron.
- the coke and ore material that constitute the raw material charged into the blast furnace descend from the furnace top to the furnace bottom, the ore reduces, and the temperature of the raw material rises.
- the ore material layer gradually deforms due to the temperature rise and the load from above while filling the voids between ore materials, and at the bottom of the shaft of the blast furnace, gas permeability resistance grows extremely large, forming a cohesive layer where nearly no gas flows.
- raw material is charged into a blast furnace by alternately charging ore material and coke.
- ore material layers and coke layers form alternately.
- cohesive zone ore material layers with a large gas permeability resistance, where ore has softened and cohered, exist along with a coke slit, derived from coke, with a relatively small gas permeability resistance.
- the gas permeability of the cohesive zone greatly affects the gas permeability of the blast furnace as a whole and limits the rate of productivity in the blast furnace. Furthermore, when performing a low coke operation, the amount of coke that is used is reduced, which is considered to cause unlimited thinning of the coke slit.
- JP H3-211210 A discloses charging, in a bell-less blast furnace, coke into an ore hopper that is downstream among the ore hoppers, layering coke onto the ore on a conveyor, and charging the ore and coke into the furnace top bunker and then into the blast furnace via a rotating chute.
- JP 2004-107794 A discloses separately storing ore and coke in the furnace top bunker and mixing the coke and ore while charging them simultaneously in order to yield three batches at the same time: a batch for regularly charged coke, a batch for mainly charging coke, and a batch for mixed charging.
- JP S59-10402 B2 discloses a method for charging raw material into a blast furnace whereby all of the ore and all of the coke are charged into the furnace after being completely mixed.
- EP 1 445 334 A1 discloses a method for charging material in a bell-less blast furnace comprising the steps of: storing coke in at least one of furnace top bunkers; storing ore in at least one of furnace top bunkers; charging the stored cokes into the blast furnace while rotating a chute of the bell-less charging device and varying a inclination angle thereof; and charging the stored ore while rotating the chute of the bell-less charging device and varying the inclination angle thereof.
- Discharging of the stored in the at least one furnace top bunkers commences when the discharging amount of the coke stored in the at least furnace top bunker is 5 to 50 mass% relative to a coke amount of one batch.
- a mixed material of ore and coke is stored in one of furnace top bunkers, and the mixed material stored in the furnace top bunker is charged in the blast furnace while rotating the charging chute and changing a inclination angle of the charging chute.
- the representative mean particle size of coke is approximately 40 mm to 50 mm, and the mean particle size of ore is approximately 15 mm.
- the particle sizes thus greatly differ, and simply mixing the coke and ore may lead to problems such as a great reduction in the void ratio, worsening of gas permeability in the furnace, blowout of gas, and improper descent of raw material.
- One possible method for avoiding these problems is to form a layer of only coke near the center of the furnace shaft. With this method, a path for gas is ensured by the coke layer near the center of the furnace shaft, allowing for improvement of gas permeability. It is also known that when simultaneously ejecting ore and coke to mix and charge the ore and coke, charging by reverse tilting to load the charged raw material from the center is effective for avoiding the above problem.
- the present invention has been conceived in light of the above circumstances, and it is an object thereof to provide a method for charging raw material into a blast furnace that, even when the raw material charging interval is narrow, can ensure mixing in the mixed layer, stabilize blast furnace operations, and improve thermal efficiency, and that, when charging by reverse tilting during mixing and charging while simultaneously discharging coke and ore, adjusts the amount of raw material charged per rotation or the charging interval to prevent the newly charged raw material from exceeding the pile of previously charged raw material and flowing towards the center, thereby ensuring mixing in the mixed layer, stabilizing blast furnace operations, and improving reaction efficiency.
- main features of the present invention are as follows.
- the charged raw material is spread at a predetermined position, and the mixed coke does not separate. Therefore, gas permeability is improved dramatically at the bottom of the furnace, reducibility of ore is greatly improved, and the blast furnace can be operated stably even when the raw material charging interval is narrow, or when charging by reverse tilting during mixing and simultaneously charging coke and ore.
- furnace top bunker 12a In the following description, it is assumed that only coke is stored in a furnace top bunker 12a, and that ore material is stored in furnace top bunkers 12b and 12c.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the following: a blast furnace 10, furnace top bunkers 12a to 12c, flow regulating gates 13, a collecting hopper 14, a bell-less charging device 15, and a rotating chute 16. Furthermore, 0 indicates the angle of the rotating chute with respect to a vertical direction.
- the order for charging raw material from the furnace top bunkers is as follows. First, when forming a central coke layer at the central portion of the blast furnace, the rotating chute 16 is set to charge raw material into the inner peripheral region of the blast furnace wall, and by charging only coke from the furnace top bunker 12a, into which only coke has been charged, a central coke layer can be formed in the central portion of the blast furnace. A peripheral coke layer may also be formed in the inner peripheral region of the furnace wall.
- the flow regulating gates 13 of the furnace top bunkers 12b and 12c are closed, the flow regulating gate 13 of only the furnace top bunker 12a is opened, and only the coke stored in the furnace top bunker 12a is fed to the rotating chute 16. In this way, a central coke layer is formed in the central portion of the blast furnace.
- Coke charging and ore charging are performed by simultaneous discharge from the furnace top bunkers 12a, 12b, or 12c.
- the order for charging is as follows.
- the rotating chute 16 successively moves upwards from a position near the central shaft of the blast furnace, i.e. a position with a small angle ⁇ , subsequently moves away from the central shaft of the blast furnace towards the outside, i.e. in the direction of a larger angle ⁇ , and finally the upper edge of the inclined sidewall is charged.
- an average layer thickness L av1 at each rotation of the rotating chute calculated by Expression 1 below, be set smaller than a thickness h of central coke charged into a shaft central portion of the blast furnace:
- L av 1 V n / R n 2 ⁇ R n ⁇ 1 2 ⁇
- L av1 is preferably in a range of approximately 0.7 to 0.95 times the value of h.
- the reason is to prevent a situation whereby the charged raw material exceeds the pile of raw material spread immediately before and flows towards the center, the mixed coke separates, the mixing ratio controllability worsens, and the coke mixing ratio drops.
- L av1 ⁇ h it is important for the relationship L av1 ⁇ h to be satisfied.
- preferable approximate ranges are 0.90 m to 1.35 m for L av1 and 1.20 m to 1.50 m for h.
- the mixed layers 12e are formed by setting the average layer thickness L av1 at each rotation of the rotating chute, calculated by Expression 1, to be smaller than the thickness h of central coke.
- n 1, R n-1 is 0.
- the coke and ore materials that are simultaneously discharged from the furnace top bunkers 12a, 12b, or 12c converge in the collecting hopper 14 and are charged through the charging chute.
- the pile of raw material charged in a ring shape at the (n+1) th rotation of the charging chute is higher than the pile of raw material charged in a ring shape at the n th rotation, the charged raw material may exceed the n th pile and flow towards the center.
- the coke since the coke separates as the raw material at the (n+1) th rotation flows along the tilted surface, the coke mixing ratio drops, preventing the effect of improving gas permeability from being sufficiently achieved.
- the ratio between L av2 (n) and L av2 (n+1), i.e. (L av2 (n+1)/L av2 (n)), is preferably in a range of approximately 0.5 to 0.9.
- the reason is that when the ratio is 0.9 or greater, the probability of the raw material charged at the (n+1) th rotation exceeding the pile of raw material charged at the n th rotation and flowing towards the center increases, whereas when the ratio is 0.5 or less, controlling the shape of the raw material deposit becomes difficult due to an increase in the charging interval or a reduction of charged raw material.
- the above-described central coke layer and mixed layer 12e are formed sequentially inside the blast furnace 10 from the bottom to the top.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show the flow of gas in the blast furnace at this time.
- High-temperature air is blown from the blast tube 21 provided at the bottom of the blast furnace 10 through the tuyere, and by combusting the coke and the pulverized coal near the tuyere, high-temperature CO 2 gas is generated.
- the CO 2 gas reacts with the coke at the bottom of the blast furnace to yield CO, subjecting the ore material to reductive dissolution.
- the ore material at the bottom of the blast furnace 10 dissolves, the coke and ore material charged into the blast furnace 10 descend from the furnace top to the furnace bottom, and the ore material is reduced and rises in temperature.
- the ore material and the coke are completely mixed, with coke penetrating between the ore materials.
- the gas permeability improves, and high-temperature gas passes directly between ore materials, allowing for improvement of heat-transfer properties without delay in heat transfer.
- charging layers are stacked by forming coke layers and mixed layers 12e in which coke and ore material are completely mixed. Therefore, no coke slit is formed in the mixed layers and gas flow becomes uniform. Good thermal conductivity can also be ensured, as can stable improvement in gas permeability, thus resolving the problems in the above conventional example.
- the necessary amount of coke i.e. the coke ratio is 320 kg/t to 350 kg/t, yet by charging raw material in accordance with the present invention, the coke ratio can be reduced to approximately 270 kg/t to 320 kg/t.
- the laboratory device illustrated in FIG. 7 was used to simulate the raw material reduction and elevated temperature process in a blast furnace and to test the change in gas permeability resistance.
- a furnace core tube 32 is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical furnace body 31, and a cylindrical heater 33 is disposed on the outside of the furnace core tube 32.
- a graphite crucible 35 is disposed at the upper edge of a cylindrical body 34 constituted by refractory material, and charged raw material 36 is charged inside the crucible 35.
- a load is applied to the charged raw material 36 from above by a load application device 38 connected via a punch rod 37, so that the charged raw material 36 adopts approximately the same state as the cohesive layer at the bottom of the blast furnace.
- a device 39 for sampling drops is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical body 34.
- Gas adjusted by a gas mixing device 40 is sent to the crucible 35 through the cylindrical body 34 below the crucible 35. Subsequently, gas that has passed through the charged raw material 36 in the crucible 35 is analyzed in a gas analysis device 41.
- a thermocouple 42 for controlling the heating temperature is provided in the heater 33, and by having a control device (not illustrated) control the heater 33 while measuring the temperature with the thermocouple 42, the crucible 35 is heated to 1200 °C to 1500 °C.
- a high pulverized coal ratio operation with a pulverized coal ratio of 180 kg/t was performed when not mixing coke into the ore layer at all (Comparative Example 1) and for the various charging conditions listed in Table 1, with an average layer thickness L av1 and thickness of central coke h.
- the productivity as listed in Table 1 is the amount of metal produced per day in the blast furnace (t/d) divided by the volume of the blast furnace (m 3 ).
- the coke ratio and the pulverized coal ratio are the coke volume and pulverized coal volume (kg) used when producing 1 t of hot metal.
- the reducing agent ratio is the sum of the coke ratio and the pulverized coal ratio.
- the coke ratio in Comparative Example 1 was 342 kg/t, yet charging raw material in accordance with the present invention, such as by setting L av1 to be in a range of approximately 0.7 to 0.95 times the value of h, L av1 to be approximately 0.90 m to 1.35 m, and h to be in a range of approximately 1.20 m to 1.50 m, allowed for a reduction of the coke ratio to 312 kg/t in Inventive Example 1 and approximately 300 kg/t in Inventive Example 2.
- the charged volume per rotation V n and the radial increase in the falling radius of the charged raw material per rotation ⁇ R were fixed for each example, yet as long as the relationship L av1 ⁇ h is satisfied, the effects of the present invention can be achieved without any problem even when V n and ⁇ R change with each rotation.
- the central coke later and mixed layer are described as being formed by tilting of the rotating chute and control to open and close the flow regulating gates of the furnace top bunkers, yet formation is not limited in this way.
- a dedicated coke chute that discharges coke directly into the shaft central portion of the blast furnace may be provided at a position that does not interfere with the rotating chute, and with this dedicated coke chute, coke may be charged directly into the shaft central portion of the blast furnace in order to form the central coke layer.

Description
- The present invention relates to a method for loading (charging) raw material into a blast furnace by charging the raw material into the furnace with a rotating chute.
- Generally, ore material such as sintered ore, pellet, lump ore, and the like and coke are charged into a blast furnace from the furnace top in a layer state, and combustion gas is injected through a tuyere to yield pig iron. The coke and ore material that constitute the raw material charged into the blast furnace descend from the furnace top to the furnace bottom, the ore reduces, and the temperature of the raw material rises. The ore material layer gradually deforms due to the temperature rise and the load from above while filling the voids between ore materials, and at the bottom of the shaft of the blast furnace, gas permeability resistance grows extremely large, forming a cohesive layer where nearly no gas flows.
- Conventionally, raw material is charged into a blast furnace by alternately charging ore material and coke. In the furnace, ore material layers and coke layers form alternately. At the bottom of the blast furnace, in the so-called cohesive zone, ore material layers with a large gas permeability resistance, where ore has softened and cohered, exist along with a coke slit, derived from coke, with a relatively small gas permeability resistance.
- The gas permeability of the cohesive zone greatly affects the gas permeability of the blast furnace as a whole and limits the rate of productivity in the blast furnace. Furthermore, when performing a low coke operation, the amount of coke that is used is reduced, which is considered to cause unlimited thinning of the coke slit.
- In order to improve the gas permeability resistance of the cohesive zone, mixing coke into the ore material layer is known to be effective, and much research has been reported for achieving an appropriate mixing state.
- For example,
JP H3-211210 A -
JP 2004-107794 A - Furthermore, in order to prevent the cohesive zone shape from becoming unstable during blast furnace operation, to prevent a reduction in the gas utilization rate near the central region, and to improve operation safety and thermal efficiency,
JP S59-10402 B2 - In addition,
EP 1 445 334 A1 -
- PTL 1:
JP H3-211210 A - PTL 2:
JP 2004-107794 A - PTL 3:
JP S59-10402 B2 - In order to improve the gas permeability resistance of the cohesive zone, mixing coke into the ore layer as in the technique disclosed in PTL 3 is known to be effective.
- In the disclosure in PTL 3, however, the representative mean particle size of coke is approximately 40 mm to 50 mm, and the mean particle size of ore is approximately 15 mm. The particle sizes thus greatly differ, and simply mixing the coke and ore may lead to problems such as a great reduction in the void ratio, worsening of gas permeability in the furnace, blowout of gas, and improper descent of raw material.
- Even if ore and coke are simultaneously ejected from two bunkers and mixed when charging, large size coke rolls further due to the tilt of the charging surface, leading to the problem of the coke separating easily.
- One possible method for avoiding these problems is to form a layer of only coke near the center of the furnace shaft. With this method, a path for gas is ensured by the coke layer near the center of the furnace shaft, allowing for improvement of gas permeability. It is also known that when simultaneously ejecting ore and coke to mix and charge the ore and coke, charging by reverse tilting to load the charged raw material from the center is effective for avoiding the above problem.
- In cases such as when the raw material charging interval is small in the blast furnace radial direction, however, or there is too much charged raw material per rotation, the pile of raw material charged during a given rotation is exceeded by the pile of raw material charged upon the next rotation. In this case, the raw material flows to the center of the blast furnace, and the mixed coke separates, triggering the problems of worsened mixing ratio controllability, a drop in the coke mixing ratio, and the like. Normally, when mixing and charging with simultaneous discharge that uses reverse tilting, particularly when the raw material charging interval is narrow, the charged raw material exceeds the pile of raw material spread immediately before and flows towards the center, and the mixed coke separates. This triggers the problems of worsened mixing ratio controllability, a drop in the coke mixing ratio, and the like.
- The present invention has been conceived in light of the above circumstances, and it is an object thereof to provide a method for charging raw material into a blast furnace that, even when the raw material charging interval is narrow, can ensure mixing in the mixed layer, stabilize blast furnace operations, and improve thermal efficiency, and that, when charging by reverse tilting during mixing and charging while simultaneously discharging coke and ore, adjusts the amount of raw material charged per rotation or the charging interval to prevent the newly charged raw material from exceeding the pile of previously charged raw material and flowing towards the center, thereby ensuring mixing in the mixed layer, stabilizing blast furnace operations, and improving reaction efficiency.
- Specifically, main features of the present invention are as follows.
- 1. A method for charging raw material including coke and ore into a blast furnace using a rotating chute, with one charge of the raw material being divided into two or more batches of the coke and two or more batches of the ore, the method comprising:
- when simultaneously charging the coke and the ore, setting an average layer thickness Lav1 at each rotation of the rotating chute, calculated by
Expression 1, to be smaller than a thickness h of coke charged into a shaft central portion of the blast furnace: - where Vn is a charged volume (t) per rotation at an nth rotation / (apparent density (t/m3) of a mixed layer of coke and ore), and
- Rn is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at the nth rotation.

- 2. A method for charging raw material including coke and ore into a blast furnace using a rotating chute, with one charge of the raw material being divided into two or more batches of the coke and two or more batches of the ore, the method comprising:
when simultaneously charging the coke and the ore, setting an average layer thickness Lav2(n) at an nth rotation of the rotating chute, calculated byExpression 2, and an average layer thickness Lav2(n+1) at an (n+1)th rotation, calculated by Expression 3, to satisfy Expression 4, where n is any natural number:- where Vn is a charged raw material volume (m3) per rotation at the nth rotation,
- Rn-1 is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at an (n-1)th rotation,

- Vn+1 is a charged raw material volume (m3) per rotation at the (n+1)th rotation, and
- Rn+1 is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at the (n+1)th rotation.
- According to the present invention, when charging ore material and coke into a blast furnace, the charged raw material is spread at a predetermined position, and the mixed coke does not separate. Therefore, gas permeability is improved dramatically at the bottom of the furnace, reducibility of ore is greatly improved, and the blast furnace can be operated stably even when the raw material charging interval is narrow, or when charging by reverse tilting during mixing and simultaneously charging coke and ore.

FIG. 7 schematically illustrates a laboratory device for measuring high temperature properties of ore material. - The following describes a representative embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
- The specific way of charging ore material and coke into a blast furnace is described based on
FIG. 1 . - In the following description, it is assumed that only coke is stored in a furnace
top bunker 12a, and that ore material is stored in furnacetop bunkers -
FIG. 1 illustrates the following: ablast furnace 10, furnacetop bunkers 12a to 12c,flow regulating gates 13, acollecting hopper 14, abell-less charging device 15, and arotating chute 16. Furthermore, 0 indicates the angle of the rotating chute with respect to a vertical direction. - The order for charging raw material from the furnace top bunkers is as follows. First, when forming a central coke layer at the central portion of the blast furnace, the rotating
chute 16 is set to charge raw material into the inner peripheral region of the blast furnace wall, and by charging only coke from the furnacetop bunker 12a, into which only coke has been charged, a central coke layer can be formed in the central portion of the blast furnace. A peripheral coke layer may also be formed in the inner peripheral region of the furnace wall. - In other words, with the rotating
chute 16 set to charge raw material into the blast furnace wall region, theflow regulating gates 13 of the furnacetop bunkers flow regulating gate 13 of only the furnacetop bunker 12a is opened, and only the coke stored in the furnacetop bunker 12a is fed to therotating chute 16. In this way, a central coke layer is formed in the central portion of the blast furnace. - Coke charging and ore charging are performed by simultaneous discharge from the
furnace top bunkers chute 16 successively moves upwards from a position near the central shaft of the blast furnace, i.e. a position with a small angle θ, subsequently moves away from the central shaft of the blast furnace towards the outside, i.e. in the direction of a larger angle θ, and finally the upper edge of the inclined sidewall is charged. -
- where Vn is a charged volume (t) per rotation at an nth rotation / (apparent density (t/m3) of a mixed layer of coke and ore), and
- Rn is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at the nth rotation.
- When ore material and coke are segregated at, for example, a facility for transport to the furnace top bunkers, only ore material or coke is charged and is mixed in the
collecting hopper 14 with the coke and ore material charged from the other furnacetop bunkers chute 16 becomes uneven. - Therefore, in the present invention, as illustrated in
FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) , by setting Lav1 calculated byExpression 1 to be smaller than the thickness h of central coke charged into the shaft central portion of the blast furnace, the above unevenness of the mixed layer is eliminated. As a result, gas permeability and stability in the blast furnace can be ensured even when the amount of coke is small or an operation to blow in a large amount of pulverized coal is performed. - Furthermore, Lav1 is preferably in a range of approximately 0.7 to 0.95 times the value of h.
- The reason is to prevent a situation whereby the charged raw material exceeds the pile of raw material spread immediately before and flows towards the center, the mixed coke separates, the mixing ratio controllability worsens, and the coke mixing ratio drops.
- In the present invention, it is important for the relationship Lav1 < h to be satisfied. As specific values, preferable approximate ranges are 0.90 m to 1.35 m for Lav1 and 1.20 m to 1.50 m for h.
- In other words, in the present invention, as illustrated in
FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) , themixed layers 12e are formed by setting the average layer thickness Lav1 at each rotation of the rotating chute, calculated byExpression 1, to be smaller than the thickness h of central coke. - Furthermore, in the present invention, it is important that an average layer thickness Lav2(n) at the nth rotation of the rotating chute, calculated by
Expression 2 below, and an average layer thickness Lav2(n+1) at the (n+1)th rotation, calculated by Expression 3 below, satisfy Expression 4 below, where n is any natural number. When n = 1, Rn-1 is 0. When forming central coke, the equation Lav2(1) = h may be used, where h is the height of the central coke. Of course, the layer for the first rotation may be formed regardless of the height of the central coke, and when n = 1, Rn-1 may be 0, and Lav2(1) may be calculated: - where Vn is a charged raw material volume (m3) per rotation at the nth rotation,
- Rn-1 is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at an (n-1)th rotation,
- Rn is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at the nth rotation,
- Vn+1 is a charged raw material volume (m3) per rotation at the (n+1)th rotation, and
- Rn+1 is a falling radius (m) of charged raw material at the (n+1)th rotation.
- The coke and ore materials that are simultaneously discharged from the
furnace top bunkers collecting hopper 14 and are charged through the charging chute. At that point, when the pile of raw material charged in a ring shape at the (n+1)th rotation of the charging chute is higher than the pile of raw material charged in a ring shape at the nth rotation, the charged raw material may exceed the nth pile and flow towards the center. In this case, since the coke separates as the raw material at the (n+1)th rotation flows along the tilted surface, the coke mixing ratio drops, preventing the effect of improving gas permeability from being sufficiently achieved. - Therefore, in the present invention, as illustrated in
FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) , by setting the average layer thickness Lav2(n) at the nth rotation calculated byExpression 2 to be larger than the average layer thickness Lav2(n+1) at the (n+1)th rotation calculated by Expression 3, the above unevenness of the mixed layer is eliminated. As a result, gas permeability and stability in the blast furnace can be ensured even when the amount of coke is small or an operation to blow in a large amount of pulverized coal is performed. - Furthermore, the ratio between Lav2(n) and Lav2(n+1), i.e. (Lav2(n+1)/Lav2(n)), is preferably in a range of approximately 0.5 to 0.9. The reason is that when the ratio is 0.9 or greater, the probability of the raw material charged at the (n+1)th rotation exceeding the pile of raw material charged at the nth rotation and flowing towards the center increases, whereas when the ratio is 0.5 or less, controlling the shape of the raw material deposit becomes difficult due to an increase in the charging interval or a reduction of charged raw material.
- In the present invention, it is important for Expression 4 to be satisfied. As specific values, preferable approximate ranges are 2 m3 to 7 m3 for Vn, 1 m to 2 m for R1, and 0.2 m to 0.5 m for ΔR.
- The above-described central coke layer and
mixed layer 12e are formed sequentially inside theblast furnace 10 from the bottom to the top. - In accordance with these methods, by sequentially layering the coke layers and the
mixed layers 12e that are formed by simultaneous discharge, coke layers with small gas permeability resistance are formed from the bottom of the blast furnace towards the top of the blast furnace at the shaft central portion and the furnace wall portion inside theblast furnace 10. Therefore, even when the raw material charging interval is narrow, themixed layers 12e in which the coke and ore material are completely mixed can be formed therebetween, and moreover, worsening of gas permeability at the top of the blast furnace caused by a drop in void ratio due to coke mixing can be prevented. Additionally, since themixed layers 12e in which the coke and ore material are completely mixed can be formed between coke layers, the effect of improving gas permeability at the bottom of the blast furnace can be maximized. - Therefore, as illustrated in the right half of
FIGS. 4 and5 , by injecting high-temperature gas having CO as the main constituent through ablast tube 21 of a tuyere disposed in a basin at the bottom of theblast furnace 10, a gas flow that traverses the coke layers and rises is formed, and a gas flow that traverses the mixed layers and rises is also formed. The coke is combusted by the high-temperature gas injected through theblast tube 21, and the ore material is subjected to reductive dissolution. -
FIGS. 4 and5 show the flow of gas in the blast furnace at this time. High-temperature air is blown from theblast tube 21 provided at the bottom of theblast furnace 10 through the tuyere, and by combusting the coke and the pulverized coal near the tuyere, high-temperature CO2 gas is generated. The CO2 gas reacts with the coke at the bottom of the blast furnace to yield CO, subjecting the ore material to reductive dissolution. - In this way, the ore material at the bottom of the
blast furnace 10 dissolves, the coke and ore material charged into theblast furnace 10 descend from the furnace top to the furnace bottom, and the ore material is reduced and rises in temperature. - Therefore, at the top of the melt layer, a cohesive zone in which the ore material is softened forms, and the ore material is reduced at the top of this cohesive zone.
- At this time, as illustrated in the right half of
FIG. 6 , at the bottom of theblast furnace 10 in themixed layer 12e, the ore material and the coke are completely mixed, with coke penetrating between the ore materials. The gas permeability improves, and high-temperature gas passes directly between ore materials, allowing for improvement of heat-transfer properties without delay in heat transfer. - Additionally, at the bottom of the cohesive zone in the
blast furnace 10, the area of contact between the ore material and the high-temperature gas expands, encouraging carburizing. In the cohesive zone, gas permeability and thermal conductivity can also be improved. Furthermore, at the top of theblast furnace 10 as well, ore material and coke are provided near each other. Hence, due to a coupling reaction, which is a reciprocal activation phenomenon between a reduction reaction of the ore material and a gasification reaction (carbon solution loss reaction), reduction proceeds well without a reduction delay. - The reduction reaction at this time is represented by FeO + CO = Fe + CO2.
- The gasification reaction is represented by C + CO2 = 2CO.
- On the other hand, in the above-described conventional example in which ore and coke are stacked as layers, ore and coke are alternately charged into the blast furnace so that ore layers and coke layers are formed in the blast furnace, as illustrated in the left half of
FIGS. 4 and5 . In this case, when injecting high-temperature gas having CO as the main constituent through theblast tube 21 of the tuyere, gas permeability is restricted by the reduction in the coke slit at the bottom of the cohesive zone and the pressure drop increases, as illustrated in the left half ofFIG. 6 , leading to the problem of a reduction in the area of contact between the ore and the high-temperature gas and restriction of carburizing. - At the top of the cohesive zone, a coke slit is formed, and heat is conducted to the ore mainly through this coke slit. Therefore, a delay in heat transfer occurs, causing insufficient heat transfer. Furthermore, since a coke layer with good gas permeability and an ore layer with poor gas permeability are stacked at the top of the
blast furnace 10, not only does the rate of temperature increase drop, but also the reduction reaction alone occurs, so that the above coupling reaction cannot be expected. The problem of reduction delay thus occurs. - In the present invention, however, as described above, charging layers are stacked by forming coke layers and
mixed layers 12e in which coke and ore material are completely mixed. Therefore, no coke slit is formed in the mixed layers and gas flow becomes uniform. Good thermal conductivity can also be ensured, as can stable improvement in gas permeability, thus resolving the problems in the above conventional example. - Note that conventionally, in order to produce 1 t of hot metal, the necessary amount of coke (kg), i.e. the coke ratio is 320 kg/t to 350 kg/t, yet by charging raw material in accordance with the present invention, the coke ratio can be reduced to approximately 270 kg/t to 320 kg/t.
- In order to prove the effects of the present invention, the laboratory device illustrated in
FIG. 7 was used to simulate the raw material reduction and elevated temperature process in a blast furnace and to test the change in gas permeability resistance. - In the laboratory device, a
furnace core tube 32 is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of acylindrical furnace body 31, and acylindrical heater 33 is disposed on the outside of thefurnace core tube 32. On the inside of thefurnace core tube 32, agraphite crucible 35 is disposed at the upper edge of acylindrical body 34 constituted by refractory material, and chargedraw material 36 is charged inside thecrucible 35. A load is applied to the chargedraw material 36 from above by aload application device 38 connected via apunch rod 37, so that the chargedraw material 36 adopts approximately the same state as the cohesive layer at the bottom of the blast furnace. Adevice 39 for sampling drops is provided at the bottom of thecylindrical body 34. - Gas adjusted by a
gas mixing device 40 is sent to thecrucible 35 through thecylindrical body 34 below thecrucible 35. Subsequently, gas that has passed through the chargedraw material 36 in thecrucible 35 is analyzed in agas analysis device 41. Athermocouple 42 for controlling the heating temperature is provided in theheater 33, and by having a control device (not illustrated) control theheater 33 while measuring the temperature with thethermocouple 42, thecrucible 35 is heated to 1200 °C to 1500 °C. - As the charged
raw material 36 charged into thecrucible 35, the following materials were used. - A high pulverized coal ratio operation with a pulverized coal ratio of 180 kg/t was performed when not mixing coke into the ore layer at all (Comparative Example 1) and for the various charging conditions listed in Table 1, with an average layer thickness Lav1 and thickness of central coke h. The productivity as listed in Table 1 is the amount of metal produced per day in the blast furnace (t/d) divided by the volume of the blast furnace (m3).
- The charged volume of the charged raw material per rotation Vn, the initial falling radius of the charged raw material R1, and the radial increase in the falling radius of the charged raw material per rotation ΔR were as listed in Table 1. Note that Rn - Rn-1 = ΔR (n being any natural number).
- Furthermore, the operation results for each case are also listed in Table 1 for comparison.

- TP is the furnace top pressure [Pa], and
- BGV is the Bosch gas volume (m3 (standard temperature and pressure)/min).
- As is clear from Table 1, the coke ratio in Comparative Example 1 was 342 kg/t, yet charging raw material in accordance with the present invention, such as by setting Lav1 to be in a range of approximately 0.7 to 0.95 times the value of h, Lav1 to be approximately 0.90 m to 1.35 m, and h to be in a range of approximately 1.20 m to 1.50 m, allowed for a reduction of the coke ratio to 312 kg/t in Inventive Example 1 and approximately 300 kg/t in Inventive Example 2.
- For the low reducing agent ratio with a low coke ratio as well, it was proven that gas permeability resistance can be reduced.
- In the above embodiment, the charged volume per rotation Vn and the radial increase in the falling radius of the charged raw material per rotation ΔR were fixed for each example, yet as long as the relationship Lav1 < h is satisfied, the effects of the present invention can be achieved without any problem even when Vn and ΔR change with each rotation.
- In the above embodiment, the central coke later and mixed layer are described as being formed by tilting of the rotating chute and control to open and close the flow regulating gates of the furnace top bunkers, yet formation is not limited in this way. A dedicated coke chute that discharges coke directly into the shaft central portion of the blast furnace may be provided at a position that does not interfere with the rotating chute, and with this dedicated coke chute, coke may be charged directly into the shaft central portion of the blast furnace in order to form the central coke layer. Accordingly, by setting Lav1 to be in a range of approximately 0.7 to 0.95 times the value of h, Lav1 to be approximately 0.90 m to 1.35 m, and h to be in a range of approximately 1.20 m to 1.50 m, it was proven that for the low reducing agent ratio with a low coke ratio as well, the gas permeability resistance can be reduced.
- Furthermore, in an actual blast furnace with a 4000 mm3 class volume, a raw material charging experiment was performed, and operating conditions were compared. This blast furnace, as illustrated in
FIG. 1 , had three independent bunkers at the top of the blast furnace, and coke or ore material was charged from each bunker. During regular charging, for each charge, two batches of ore material were charged after charging two batches of coke, whereas during mixed charging (120 kg/t), after charging one batch of coke, coke was charged into the furnace central region in the first half of coke discharge for the second batch to form the central coke layer. Thereafter, ore material was simultaneously discharged from another bunker, and by reverse tilting during mixing and charging, raw material was charged to form a coke mixed layer. - Table 2 lists the test results in accordance with the above procedure.

- As is clear from Table 2, Inventive Examples 1 and 2 exhibit even lower ΔP/V than Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which have a high coke ratio. In Inventive Example 3 with an even lower coke ratio of 310 kg/t, the same ΔP/V as Comparative Example 2 with a coke ratio of 350 kg/t was obtained.
- Based on the above results, it was proven that for a low reducing agent ratio with a low coke ratio as well, gas permeability resistance can be reduced.
- In the above embodiment, the charged volume per rotation Vn and the radial increase in the falling radius of the charged raw material per rotation ΔR were fixed for each example, yet as long as the relationship Lav2(n+1) < Lav2(n) is satisfied, the effects of the present invention can be achieved without any problem even when Vn and ΔR are changed as appropriate with each rotation.
