Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an exhaust gas processing apparatus and processing method, and more particularly, to an exhaust gas processing apparatus and processing method capable of suppressing or preventing interference between exhaust-gas flows due to a difference between negative pressures in a plurality of regions of an equipment.
  • the sintered ore is produced by using fine iron ore, limestone, coke, and anthracite as raw materials and then is loaded into a blast furnace.
  • a blast furnace process for production of molten iron the sintered ore is loaded together with iron ore and coke into the blast furnace.
  • a sintered ore production process sinters fine iron ore into a size suitable for blast furnace use.
  • the sintered ore production process involves preparation of mixture of raw materials and thermal treatment of the mixture into sintered ore. The latter is usually performed in a sintering machine.
  • the process of producing the sintered ore by heat-treating the mixture of raw materials is performed as follows: the mixture of raw materials is loaded, at a constant height, onto the sintering truck while the truck is moving in the direction of extension of the sintering machine. A surface layer of the mixture of raw materials is ignited by an ignition unit to create a raceway or combustion zone. Using an exhaust gas processing apparatus, air is forcedly inputted downwardly into the sintering truck to move the raceway downwardly, thereby sintering the mixture of raw-materials, that is, to produce the sintered ore. The sintered ore is then crushed and cooled via a crusher and a cooler provided in an unloading region of the sintering machine. The crushed and cooled sintered ore is classified into granules of 5 mm to 50 mm suitable for use in the blast furnace and then is transferred to the blast furnace.
  • a sintering exhaust-gas circulation technology for improving function of the sintering machine and reducing energy was published by Kinsey on AIME in US, 1975.
  • an on-strand cooling sintering machine is proposed, which has a structure in which a length of the sintering machine is extended and a cooler is added to the sintering machine.
  • Such a configuration includes a sintering region and a cooling region. Gases are individually suctioned from the sintering zone and the cooling zone.
  • an energy-reducing sintering model was proposed by circulating high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the cooling zone into the sintering zone as hot air. Subsequently, similar studies or patent applications were filed in Japan and Europe during the 1970s and 1980s.
  • the energy required for sintering may be reduced by recycling sensible heat of the exhaust gas for sintering.
  • four-sintering was modified via the on-strand cooling sintering machine, and, then, air in the cooling section of the sintering machine was recirculated for reuse as sintering air.
  • the sintering exhaust-gas circulation technology was used to circulate the exhaust gas from the cooler to the sintering machine.
  • the above-mentioned approaches aim to reduce the amount of exhaust gas while aiming to reduce the energy, by transmitting the sensible heat of the exhaust gas to the sintered layer or the ignition furnace.
  • the sintering exhaust-gas circulation technology was applied to the sintering machine process.
  • NSC's Kitakyushu 3-sintering in 1992 reduced the amount of exhaust gas by 28% by improving a sintering machine to reduce the amount of exhaust gas while maintaining productivity and quality of the sintered ore.

Therefore, even when the firing area of the Pohang 4-sintering is increased and the blower is added thereto, the existing structure related to the exhaust-gas cleaning in the exhaust gas processing apparatus may be used as it is not modified.
