Description

TREATMENTS FOR IRON SINTER OR GREEN MIX
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to treated iron sinter or green mix for use in a blast furnace. More particularly, the iron sinter or green mix is coated with a chemical treatment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In a typical metal production process, including iron or steel production processes, metal ore agglomerates are fed to a blast furnace to heat the ore and thereby reduce metal oxides present in the ore to metal. The metal ore is layered and heated with metallurgical coke that also acts as a reducing agent as it is transformed into carbon monoxide by controlled combustion with air. The metal oxidizes into molten metal as the coke burns. The impurities, typically silica and undesirable metal oxides, in the ore form a layer of liquid slag that may be removed before the molten metal is poured. Binders or fluxes, such as lime and calcium may also be added to aid in slag formation.
[0003] The metal ore agglomerates may be fed to the blast furnace as a "green mix." In iron production, green mix is a term of art used to describe the iron- containing material used to produce iron sinter. Green mix usually comprises a combination of raw iron ore powder, iron sinter, iron fines, iron dust, and recycled iron fines and dust. Other materials may also be included in the green mix, such as coke, fluxes, and binder. Fluxes may include dolomite and binder may include lime. The iron sinter is essentially the green mix comprising raw ore powder, agglomerates and metallurgical waste heated to fuse into a porous mass with little change in the chemical properties of the raw iron ore. The resulting product or "sinter" is generally an irregular nodule of metal frequently referred to as "sinter balls" with a diameter ranging from about 3-12 mm. The sinter may be further processed into larger agglomerates in the form of pellets or briquettes. Sinter improves the efficiency of blast furnaces by reducing the amount of ore powder or dust. Ore dust and powder may hinder CO gas distribution throughout the furnace, increase fuel consumption, lower the production capacity, and lower the quality of the metal product.
[0004] Obviously, to maintain the advantages of reduced dust, the sinter should not be easily friable as it is transported or loaded into the blast furnace. In addition, the sinter is typically the largest weight-bearing layer in a blast furnace, thus it should have a mechanical strength to withstand the weight without disintegrating back into powder. In iron production, low-temperature reduction of iron ore is avoided as it can increase dust formation and reduce the quality of the pig iron. Thus, high quality sinter is not easily friable and resists reduction at temperatures below 550 °C. An important metric in measuring sinter quality is the Reduction Degradation Index ("RDI"). Sinter with a low RDI generally has good mechanical strength and reduces at temperatures above 550 °C.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0005] It was surprisingly discovered that treating iron sinter or green mix with a polyaluminum treatment produced an iron sinter that reduced at temperatures above 550 °C and had good mechanical strength. Accordingly, methods for treating iron sinter or green mix is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method may comprise coating an iron sinter with a polyaluminum treatment to a form treated iron sinter. The polyaluminum treatment may comprise at least one anhydrous and/or hydrous polyaluminum salt.
[0006] In another method embodiment, a method of making iron sinter from a treated green mix is disclosed. The method comprises coating a green mix with a polyaluminum treatment to form a treated green mix. The treated green mix may be heated to form an iron sinter. The polyaluminum treatment may comprise at least one anhydrous and/or hydrous polyaluminum salt. In another method, the green mix may comprise at least one material selected from the group consisting of iron ore, iron fines, iron dust, recycled iron fines, recycled iron dust, and combinations thereof.
[0007] In another embodiment, an iron sinter treated with a polyaluminum treatment is disclosed. The polyaluminum treatment may comprise at least one anhydrous and/or hydrous polyaluminum salt. The treated iron sinter may have an improved Reduction Degradation Index (RDI) as compared to untreated iron sinter. The iron in the iron sinter may chemically reduce above 550 °C.
[0008] In another embodiment, a method of smelting iron is disclosed. The method may comprise using an iron sinter treated with a polyaluminum treatment. In another embodiment, the smelting method may further comprise using a green mix treated with a polyaluminum treatment. The polyaluminum treatment may comprise at least one anhydrous and/or hydrous polyaluminum salt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
[0010] It was surprisingly discovered that coating iron sinter with a polyaluminum treatment produced an iron sinter that reduced at temperatures above 550 °C had good mechanical strength. Accordingly, methods for treating iron sinter or green mix is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method may comprise coating an iron sinter with a polyaluminum treatment to form a treated iron sinter. The polyaluminum treatment may comprise at least one anhydrous and/or hydrous polyaluminum salt.

Suitable polyaluminum salts may also include double or complex salts wherein more than one type of anion is present. Exemplary complex salts include hydrated aluminum chlorosulfate (AlS04Cl6'7H20) and the basic complex salt, polyaluminum
hydroxy chlorosulafte ( Al 13 OH28C I S04) .
[0011] In another embodiment, the polyaluminum salt may have a formula:
Al„X(3n-2G+k)-m)(Yj+Y'k)(OH)m

In yet another embodiment, the polyaluminum salt may be polyaluminum chlorohydrate PACH dihydrate with a formula A12C1(0H)5-2H20.
[0015] The polyaluminum treatment may be an aqueous solution comprising a polyaluminum salt as described above. The concentration of the polyaluminum salt in the aqueous solution may range from about 10 wt% to about 90 wt % of the polyaluminum salt based on a total weight of the polyaluminum treatment. The balance may comprise water. In one embodiment, the polyaluminum treatment may comprise 50 wt% polyaluminum salt and 50 wt% water. In yet another embodiment, the concentration of polyaluminum salt in the aqueous solution may range from about 0.01 to about 500 grams per liter (g/1).

In another embodiment, a concentration of the polyaluminum treatment to the iron sinter may range from about 10 to about 100 grams per metric ton. In yet another embodiment, the concentration may range from about 50 to about 90 grams per metric ton (g/ton).
[0017] The polyaluminum treatment is particularly useful in preparing iron sinter, but may also be useful in preparing metal sinter from other types of metal ore. The iron sinter produced using the polyaluminum treatment has an improved
Reduction Degradation Index (RDI) as compared to iron sinter produced without the polyaluminum treatment. The iron sinter produced using the polyaluminum treatment may chemically reduce at temperatures above about 550 °C and/or have an RDI of less than about 30.

EXAMPLES
[0031] Sintering experiments were performed to test the efficacy of the polyaluminum treatment on the Reduction Degradation Index ("RDI") on iron sinter. First, a fixed quantity of iron sinter balls ("sinter") was placed in an alumina boat and weighed. The sinter was coated by spraying it with a solution of polyaluminum chlorohydrate (PACH) dihydrate having the formula AbCl(OFi)5-2Fi20. The solution was an aqueous solution comprising 50 wt% PACH. The alumina boat with the coated sinter was weighed again and the PACH dosage (g/ton) was calculated. The alumina boat with sprayed sinter was transferred to an autoclave, or tube furnace. The tube furnace was purged with an argon-hydrogen gas mixture for 10 minutes. The argon- hydrogen gas flowrate was then maintained at about 1-2 L/min. The coated sinter was then heated at a ramp rate of 600 °C/2 hours, and then maintained at 600 °C for 30 minutes. The treated sinter was then removed from the furnace and allowed to cool to room temperature.
[0032] After the sinter cooled to room temperature, the sinter was weighed again to obtain a first weight (mi). The sinter was then shaken with a mechanical shaker for 15 minutes and then placed on a 6.33 mm sieve. The weight of the sinter was measured to obtain a second weight {mi). The RDI at 6.33 mm was then calculated according to the formula:
(m1 - m2)
RDl6.33mm = 100
m1
where (wij— m2) was the weight of sinter that passed through the 6.33 mm sieve and wij was the first weight of the sinter. The experiments were repeated at different dosages of PACH solution. The results are shown in FIG. 1.
