  • the product gas of the present invention has a wide range of applications as a fuel gas and is reasonably used as an energy source in an iron mill because a shift-converted ironmaking by-product gas is preferably used as a gasifying agent as described above.
  • the product gas of the present invention may specifically be used as a fuel for a nonutility generator, a fuel gas for sintering iron ores, a fuel gas for a hot-blast stove of a blast furnace, or a raw material gas for a mixed gas prepared by mixing various by-product gases.
  • the product gas of the present invention is a gas containing CO, H 2 , and hydrocarbons having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Therefore, the product gas can also be used as a deoxidizing material for iron oxide to be put in a blast furnace, a shaft furnace or the like.
  • the iron oxide includes, other than iron ore, dust and sludge containing iron oxide generated in a blast furnace, a converter or the like.
  • the present invention makes it possible to obtain a product gas from a carbonaceous fuel at a high yield. Therefore, the method for operating an iron mill of the present invention can reduce the cost for energy used in an iron mill and the cost for deoxidizing an oxidation gas.
  • the method for manufacturing a gasification gas of the present invention manufactures a gasification gas by the same processing as in the method for gasifying a carbonaceous fuel of the present invention, and includes supplying a carbonaceous fuel and a gasifying agent containing H 2 , CO 2 and H 2 O to a fluidized bed gasification furnace which uses quicklime as a fluidized medium so as to gasify the carbonaceous fuel.
  • the present invention makes it possible to obtain a product gas from a carbonaceous fuel at a high yield. Therefore, the method for manufacturing a gasification gas of the present invention can manufacture a gasification gas at a high yield and reduce the cost for manufacturing a gasification gas.
  • a micro fluidized bed gasification testing apparatus (inner diameter, 22 mm) which can supply coal through dry supply at a rate of 10 to 30 g/h (hour) was prepared.
  • the inside of the gasification testing apparatus was filled with CaO, a reagent manufactured by Kojundo Chemical Laboratory Co., Ltd., as a fluidized medium to a bed height of 75 mm in a still state. Furthermore, the mixed gas containing: 14 vol% H 2 ; 35 vol% H 2 O; 24 vol% CO 2 ; and 27 vol% N 2 was prepared as a simulated, shift-converted ironmaking by-product gas to be a gasifying agent.
  • the gasifying agent was supplied from the lower part of the fluidized bed at a rate of 400 mL (milliliters) / min to fluidize CaO.
  • Lignite (volatile content, 55 wt%; fixed carbon content, 36 wt%; ash content, 8 wt%) was granulated with water as a binder to obtain lignite granules with a diameter ⁇ of 1 to 3 mm, and the granules thus obtained were used as a carbonaceous fuel (water content after granulation, 14 wt%).
  • the granulated lignite was supplied at a rate of 20 g/h to start a gasification reaction.
  • the reaction time was one hour and gas sampling was carried out every 20 minutes, that is to say, three times altogether, to analyze the product gas.
  • CO, H 2 and hydrocarbons having 1 to 4 carbon atoms were contained in a total amount of 80 vol%.
  • N 2 and CO 2 were contained as incombustible components. Since the total concentration of CO, H 2 and hydrocarbons having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the product gas was 80 vol%, there are evidently no problems with the use of the product gas as an energy source for an iron mill, and as a deoxidizing material for iron oxide as well.
  • the carbon-based yield of the product gas was determined as described below.
  • the carbon source supplied to the gasification furnace is the carbonaceous fuel (lignite) and the gasifying agent (simulated shift-converted ironmaking by-product gas) .
  • ⁇ + ⁇ [kmol/h] is the amount of carbon supplied to the gasification furnace.
  • the amount of the product gas produced in the gasification furnace is to be C Nm 3 /h.
  • the product gas contains CO, CO 2 , a hydrocarbon having 1 carbon atom (C 1 ), a hydrocarbon having 2 carbon atoms (C 2 ), a hydrocarbon having 3 carbon atoms (C 3 ), and a hydrocarbon having 4 carbon atoms (C 4 ) as carbon compounds.
  • the CO content of the product gas is Z 1 vol%
  • the CO 2 content of the same is Z 2 vol%
  • the C 1 content of the same is Z 3 vol%
  • the C 2 content of the same is Z 4 vol%
  • the C 3 content of the same is Z 5 vol%
  • the C 4 content of the same is Z 6 vol%
  • the amount ⁇ [kmol/h] of carbon in the product gas is calculated by the following equation.
  • the gasification testing was performed in the same manner as that in Example 1, except that subbituminous coal which had the volatile content of 40 wt%, the fixed carbon content of 52 wt%, the ash content of 9 wt%, and the moisture content after the granulation of 3 wt% was used as the carbonaceous fuel.
  • CO, H 2 and hydrocarbons having 1 to 4 carbon atoms were contained in a total amount of 73 vol%.
  • N 2 and CO 2 were contained as incombustible components. Since the total concentration of CO, H 2 and hydrocarbons having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the product gas was 73 vol%, there are evidently no problems with the use of the product gas as an energy source for an iron mill, and as a deoxidizing material for iron oxide as well.
  • the gasification testing was performed in the same manner as that in Example 1, except that industrial silica sand (SiO 2 ) was used as the fluidized medium.
  • the carbon-based yield of the product gas was 36% and the combustion heat of the product gas was 2.7 Mcal/Nm 3 . It is presumed that SiO 2 is completely inert as a catalyst for a gasification reaction, and thus the yield of the gas extremely decreased compared to that in Example 1 in which quicklime was used as the fluidized medium. Meanwhile, the combustion heat of the product gas was similar to that in Example 1.
  • the gasification testing was performed in the same manner as that in Example 2, except that industrial silica sand (SiO 2 ) was used as the fluidized medium.
  • the methods of the invention are suitably applicable for producing a fuel gas used for, for example, iron and steel industries and power generating industries as well as for deoxidizing iron oxide in an iron mill.
