Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of refining a molten iron alloy by a converter furnace.
- the present invention particularly relates to a refining method capable of reducing a metallic iron content in slag and reducing variation in the metallic iron content in slag for each charge to improve efficiency of a slag treatment.
- Free CaO is contained in slag (hereinafter, also referred to as "converter furnace slag") generated when molten iron alloy such as molten pig iron (hereinafter, also referred to as “hot metal”) is refined in a converter furnace, the free Cao undergoes a hydration reaction and expands, and volume stability decreases.
- slag also referred to as "converter furnace slag”
- hot metal molten iron alloy
- the free Cao undergoes a hydration reaction and expands, and volume stability decreases.
- a treatment method is related to the slag, generally, iron oxide of about 1 to 40% by mass is contained in the slag, and an external appearance of the slag becomes black.
- the slag is used as an aggregate for concrete or the like, the external appearance thereof is uncomfortable.
- a use of the slag is limited to a low-grade application such as a road ground improvement material and a lower-layer roadbed material, and is difficult to use for an upper-layer roadbed material, a concrete aggregate, a stone raw material, or the like.
- the slag is discharged from the converter furnace into a reaction container, and in the container, a reforming material such as coal ash is added to molten converter furnace slag to perform a reforming treatment to reduce the free CaO, and thus, the slag is used for the upper-layer roadbed material, the concrete aggregate, and the like, which are higher-grade applications.
- metallic iron about several tens of mass% of granular iron is contained in the converter furnace slag in a suspended state. Carbon is present in the suspended granular iron, and when the molten slag is reformed, the carbon of the granular iron reacts with iron oxide in the molten slag or an oxygen gas for stirring, and thus, bubbles of a CO gas are generated (forming) in the molten slag, which causes various adverse effects.
- the granular iron in the slag is a factor of yield loss when focusing on converter furnace blowing, and thus, the lower a granular iron content, the more preferable.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which granular iron in molten slag taken out from a converter furnace is settled in a reaction container and then subjected to a slag reforming treatment.
- a settling time also varies, and thus, it is difficult to perform a stable treatment.
- Non-Patent Document 1 when refining is performed in a converter furnace, an oxygen feeding lance is used as one electrode, a voltage is applied between the one electrode and the other electrode provided on a furnace bottom, and information on a distance between a front end of the lance and a molten metal bath surface, a thickness of a slag layer, or the like is obtained by measuring changes in a current, a voltage, and a resistance value during blowing.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2006-199984
- Non-Patent Document 1 Current distribution characteristics in converter furnace bath when electric potential is applied to molten steel, C. I. Semuikin, V. F. Polyakov, E. V. Semkina, 2003
- An object of the present invention is to provide a molten iron alloy refining method having high efficiency capable of obtaining slag having a small metallic iron content and a small variation thereof as compared with the related art when refining a molten iron alloy in a converter furnace and then simplifying a treatment for reducing iron in the slag in a reforming treatment of the slag.
- the gist of the present invention is as follows.
- the present invention when refining a molten iron alloy in a converter furnace, it is possible to reduce a granular iron content in slag and variation thereof, and then, it is possible to improve efficiency of a reforming treatment of the slag or a bullion recovery treatment.
- the present inventors have investigated a method for reducing a granular iron content in slag and a variation thereof when refining a molten iron alloy in a converter furnace, and focused on energizing a slag bath and a metal bath.
- the present inventors have found that an amount of granular iron contained in the slag and a variation thereof are reduced when a specific amount of electric charge is applied during the energization.
- % represents “mass%” and a “current” represents a "direct current”.
- an "average of direct current” indicates a magnitude of an average value of the direct currents during a time when the direct current is applied. Strictly speaking, the "average of direct current” is a value obtained by averaging the current values at 10 or greater time points at regular time intervals during a time when the direct current is applied.
- a first electrode 21 is installed above a molten iron alloy bath (hereinafter, also referred to as an "iron bath") 12 at a position where a frequency of contact with slag 11 increases. Further, a second electrode 22 is disposed in contact with the iron bath 12.
- the first electrode 21 may also serve as a top blowing oxygen feeding lance 31.
- blowing in the converter furnace there are the following methods, that is, 1) a blowing method in the related art for performing desiliconization, dephosphorization, and decarburization, 2) a blowing method in which blowing for the purpose of desiliconization and/or dephosphorization and blowing for the purpose of finish dephosphorization, decarburization, and temperature adjustment are separated from each other, and 3) a blowing method in which desiliconization is performed in a separate process, and then blowing for the purpose of dephosphorization and blowing for the purpose of finish dephosphorization, decarburization, and temperature adjustment are separated from each other.
- the energization is performed during one or both of the blowing for the purpose of desiliconization and/or dephosphorization and the blowing for the purpose of finish dephosphorization, decarburization, and temperature adjustment.
- the blowing of each of 1) to 3) particularly, when applied at an end of the blowing, a larger effect can be obtained.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B show results in 3) the blowing method in which desiliconization is performed in a separate process, and then the blowing for the purpose of dephosphorization and the blowing for the purpose of finish dephosphorization, decarburization, and temperature adjustment are separated from each other.
- the first electrode 21 on a side in contact with the slag 11 is disposed on the furnace belly, and the second electrode 22 on a side in contact with the iron bath 12 is disposed on a furnace bottom, and then, with respect to a case where in the case of dephosphorization, a current of 350A or less is supplied between the electrodes for 24 seconds immediately before a stop of the blowing to perform the blowing and in the case of decarburization, a current of 350A or less is supplied between the electrodes for 24 seconds immediately before the stop of the blowing to perform the blowing (ON), and a case where the energization is not performed between the electrodes (OFF), relationships of average current values therebetween, amounts of granular iron, and variations thereof between both cases are shown.
- FIG. 2A shows an effect of the average current value on a metallic iron concentration in the slag after a hot metal dephosphorization treatment in the converter furnace
- FIG. 2B shows an effect on the metallic iron concentration in the slag after a decarburization treatment in the converter furnace.
- the current value increases, an iron content decreases and a variation in the iron content decreases.
- Tables 1 and 2 show an average value (mass%) of the granular iron content (mass%) contained in the slag shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B , a specimen standard deviation, and a relative error.
- the specimen standard deviation is a square root of the variance value obtained by the sum of squares of distances between values of each sample and the average value.
- the relative error is a value obtained by dividing the standard deviation by the average value.
- the slag after a reforming treatment is crushed and the metallic iron is recovered by magnetic sorting.
- Tables 1 and 2 show that the metallic iron content itself is reduced by supplying an electric current to the slag 11, the variation in the metallic iron is reduced, and as a result, the magnetic sorting is stable, and there is a great effect that the metallic iron in the slag can be further reduced.
- I P [A] representing a magnitude of an average of the currents supplied into the slag 11, that is, a magnitude of a direct current during an energization time when the direct current is supplied is controlled so as to satisfy at least one of the following equations (1) and (2), where W s [t] represents an amount of molten steel in the converter furnace, and A s[ m 2 ] represents a furnace internal cross-sectional area at a furnace belly portion.
- a required current flowing into the slag is considered to be related to weight of the molten steel. This is because the weight of the slag inevitably increases as the weight of the molten steel increases, and thus, the amount of granular iron in the slag cannot be reduced within a blowing time unless the current value increases, and as a result, a required energization amount is proportional to the weight of the molten steel.
- the required current flowing into the slag is considered to be related to the furnace internal cross-sectional area of the furnace belly portion of the converter furnace.
- a controlling factor that actually reduces the current density in the slag is the density (current density) of the current flowing into the slag. Since the slag is conductive, a current flows through the entire slag. Therefore, the density of the current flowing into the slag is a value obtained by dividing the current value flowing by the furnace internal cross-sectional area As in the furnace belly portion of the converter furnace, and this value becomes the required current density. That is, the required current density is I p /A s . Assuming that the required current density is a constant value, the required current value is proportional to the furnace internal cross-sectional area of the furnace belly portion.
- the required current flowing into the slag is considered to be proportional to the weight of the molten steel and the cross-sectional area in the furnace. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of granular iron in the slag and further stabilize the variation, it is preferable to select the smaller of the required current (equation (1)) derived from the weight of the molten steel and the required current (equation (2)) derived from the internal cross-sectional area of the furnace.
- a slag composition before the start of energization has a basicity of 0.5 or greater and an iron oxide concentration of 5% or greater. Since SiO2 in the slag has a strong binding force with each other, SiO 2 hinders conductivity. Meanwhile, CaO has an action of breaking the bond of SiO2, and thus, CaO improves the conductivity. Moreover, iron oxide also improves the conductivity.
- the basicity can be calculated and presumed from a proportion of a charge. Further, the concentration of iron oxide can be calculated from an amount of oxygen feeding, an amount of oxygen contained in an exhaust gas, and an amount of oxygen contained in the molten steel. Since these values are stored as actual values, the values can be presumed before the blowing.
- the composition of the molten iron alloy to be treated is not limited to a specific composition, but it is preferable to treat the molten pig iron having a silicon concentration (Si amount) of 0.25% or less. As the amount of Si increases, the concentration of SiO 2 in the slag increases. Since SiO 2 is a factor that deteriorates conductivity, SiO 2 makes it difficult for current to flow into the slag, and acts in a direction that hinders reduction of the amount of granular iron.
- the amount of Si when the amount of Si is 0.25% or less, the amount of slag required for the blowing is reduced. Since the amount of granular iron generated is determined by the energy input into the furnace (heavy top blowing) and the amount of decarburized, when the amount of slag is small, the concentration of granular iron in the slag is relatively high. When the concentration of granular iron in the slag increases before energization, the reduction effects when energized increase, and thus, the amount of sedimentation of the granular iron increases. Therefore, when the silicon concentration of the molten pig iron is 0.25% or less, a remarkable effect can be obtained.
- the slag density when energized is preferably 1.0 kg/m 3 or less, and more preferably 0.8 kg/m 3 or less. This is because when the density of the slag decreases, a sedimentation rate of the granular iron increases, and the effects of the present invention can be further obtained. Moreover, in the present specification, the slag density means weight of the slag per unit volume when energized in the converter furnace.
- the slag is energized for 10 seconds or longer within on minute before the end of a preset blowing time. That is, it is desirable that a time during which no current is flowing at the end of blowing (after one minute before the stop of oxygen feeding) is set to 50 seconds or less. Furthermore, the shorter an interval between the end of energization and the stop of blowing, the better.
- the reason for this is as follows. 1) When the power is turned off before the end of the blowing, there are concern that the granular iron may be mixed again and the granular iron in the slag may increase. 2) Before the end of the blowing, in most cases, the density of slag is 1.0 kg/m 3 or less, and the slag tends to settle. 3) The amount of granular iron in the slag tends to increase at the end of the blowing when an input auxiliary raw material is sufficiently dissolved and reaction products are sufficiently generated, and when the energization starts in this state, the amount of granular iron tends to decrease.
- I P '[A] representing a magnitude of an average of the direct current during the energization time within one minute immediately before the feeding of the oxygen is stopped is controlled to satisfy at least one of equations (3) and (4), where W s [t] represents the amount of molten steel in the converter furnace, and A s [m 2 ] represents the furnace internal cross-sectional area at the furnace belly portion.
- W s [t] represents the amount of molten steel in the converter furnace
- a s [m 2 ] represents the furnace internal cross-sectional area at the furnace belly portion.
- the effects of the present invention can be obtained by controlling the current so as to satisfy at least one of equations (1) to (4).
- the electrode disposed above the molten iron alloy bath in the converter furnace is a hollow top blowing lance.
- a height of the top blowing lance is controlled based on weight of the residual slag in the furnace, weight of the input auxiliary raw material, weight of the reaction product, the slag density, and a cross-sectional area of the furnace belly portion.
- the slag height H can be calculated by the following equation.
- H m total weight of residual slag in furnace , input auxiliary raw material , and reaction products kg / slag density kg / m 3 ⁇ cross-sectional area of furnace belly portion m 2
- the amount of residual slag in the furnace can be obtained from past operation data, and the input auxiliary raw material and reaction product can be appropriately obtained by using a weighed value and a component value.
- the slag density is not limited to 1.0 kg/m 3 or less, and a value of 2.0 to 3.0 kg/m 3 may be used depending on the composition.
- the slag is considered to expand about 10 times including the generated gas, it is possible that energization can be obtained even when the lance position is about 10 times the slag height obtained by the above equation. Meanwhile, when there is no problem of bullion adhesion to the lance or cooling, it is better to decrease the height of the lance to about 0.1 times the slag height to stabilize the energization.
- a degree of expansion of selection from a range of 0.1 times to 10 times changes depending on blowing conditions and progress of the blowing, and thus, the degree of expansion can be determined theoretically or empirically depending on a time when the effect is desired.
- the lance height By setting the lance height in this way, it is possible to adjust so that the current flows into the slag only when the slag density is about 1.0 kg/m 3 or less, which can promote the reduction of the amount of granular iron.
- a stable operation is possible because the lance does not come into contact with molten steel during operation.
- the converter furnace is a converter furnace having a bottom blowing tuyere. Since the bottom blowing strengthens the agitation of the slag, the reduction of the amount of granular iron in the slag is promoted. In addition, chances of contact between the slag and the molten steel increase, and thus, a transfer of granular iron from the slag to the molten steel is promoted.
- a flow rate of a bottom-blown gas is 0.01 to 0.2 Nm 3 /min/ton in a case of inert gas, and 0.1 to 0.4 Nm 3 /min/ton in a case of blowing of oxygen.
- a first process of performing blowing for the purpose of desiliconization and/or dephosphorization, a second process of discharging a portion of the slag, a third process of performing blowing for the purpose of finish dephosphorization, decarburization, and a temperature adjustment, a fourth process of discharging steel adjusted to the target components and temperature, and a fifth process of discharging a portion of the slag remaining in the furnace are performed in this order.
- the energization is performed for at least 10 seconds or longer during one or both of the oxygen feeding times of the first process and the third process, and when the magnitude of the average of the direct current during the energization time when the direct current is supplied is defined as I P [A], the magnitude of the average of the direct current during the energization time within one minute immediately before the feeding of the oxygen is stopped is defined as Ip'[A], the amount of molten steel in the converter furnace is defined as W s [t], and the furnace internal cross-sectional area at the furnace belly portion is defined as A s [m 2 ], it is effective to control so as to satisfy at least one of the following equations (1) to (4).
- I P ′ ⁇ 0.125 ⁇ W S I P ′ ⁇ 1.5 ⁇
- a S I P ′ ⁇ 0.125 ⁇ W S
- the oxygen feeding time in the first step and the third step is a state in which the density of granular iron in the slag increases, and the amount of granular iron is reduced. Accordingly, the granular iron tends to settle in a molten iron alloy layer, and thus, the metallic iron content in the slag can be easily reduced. In particular, since the amount of granular iron is large in the first step, the variation of the granular iron can be effectively reduced.
- the first electrode 21 of the converter furnace equipment for example, an electrode made of carbon-containing bricks such as MgO-C bricks can be disposed on the furnace belly of the converter furnace.
- the top blowing oxygen feeding lance 31 may be used as shown in FIG. 3 .
- a carbon-containing brick or the like can be used for the second electrode 22.
- the second electrode 22 is provided in the furnace bottom or the furnace belly of the converter furnace equipment 1.
- the first electrode 21 When the first electrode 21 is disposed in the furnace belly, the first electrode 21 is preferably provided 200 mm to 4000 mm above, and more preferably 200 to 400 mm above, based on a static molten metal surface of the iron bath 12 estimated from a volume of the converter furnace.
- a front end thereof When the top blowing oxygen feeding lance 31 is used as the first electrode 21, a front end thereof may be moved up and down, and thus, a position thereof may be moved up and down by the current flowing between the electrodes so that the magnitude of the flowing current can be controlled.
- the power supply device 40 may include a mechanism that cuts off the supply of the current when a resistance value between the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 is equal to or greater than a preset current value or greater for a preset time after the start of the blowing.
- the current value is obtained by inputting a signal from the current detection unit 41 to the control device 42. Then, when the obtained current value is equal to or greater than the preset current value within the preset time after the start of the blowing, the output of the power supply device 40 is stopped and the current supply is cut off.
- the power supply device 40 has a function of controlling the current so as not to flow a certain amount or greater.
- the carbon concentration at the refining end point of the dephosphorization treatment is 2.5% by mass or greater. This is because, in most cases, since the refining in the region is performed with a relatively low basicity and the treatment is completed at a low temperature, a viscosity of the slag before energization is high and the amount of granular iron contained in the slag is large, and thus, when the energization is performed, the amount of granular iron can be easily reduced.
- a bottom blowing tuyere 50 made of porous bricks is provided on the furnace bottom and the iron bath 12 is agitated by blowing gas into the iron bath 12 from the furnace bottom during the refining.
- the number of bottom blowing tuyeres 50 may be one, but it is preferable to provide a plurality of bottom blowing tuyeres 50.
- FIG. 1 shows an example in which the bottom blowing tuyeres 50 are provided at two locations.
- the gas flowing from the tuyere is not particularly limited, and any single gas such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, Ar, LPG, or a mixed gas of two or more types can be selected, and a pipe itself can be a single tube, a multiple tube, a collecting pipe, or the like.
- the electrode 22 can also be used as the tuyere. However, in that case, it is necessary to properly insulate of conductive paths of the tuyere and pipe to eliminate the possibility of a large current flowing through an iron shell of a furnace body or a trunnion shaft.
- a furnace inner diameter of a furnace belly portion of a converter furnace was 6 m. That is, a value of 0.125 ⁇ W s is 37.5, and a value of 1.5 ⁇ A s is 42.4.
- MgO-C electrodes were installed on the furnace belly and the furnace bottom, a conductor connecting mechanism was provided on a furnace body side and an operating floor side so that the electrodes could be connected at a furnace hanging position, and a power supply capable of controlling so that a current of 500A or greater does not flow to an operating floor was installed.
- the electrode of the furnace belly was set 250 mm above the static molten metal surface when 300 tons of the main raw material was inserted. After the start of the blowing, energization started and the current began to increase at a timing when it could be presumed from an acoustic state in the furnace that slag in a molten state was generated. After that, energization was performed until the end of the blowing.
- the energization timing was changed and blowing was performed based on the above experimental conditions.
- the blowing was not interrupted even once during the process, and the steel was discharged under the control of a predetermined composition and temperature, and the steel was discharged.
- the oxygen feeding time was set to 20 minutes in total.
- the slag was received in a slag pan, discharged into a yard and cooled, and then fist-sized lumps were randomly collected from 10 locations and analyzed to obtain an average value of the metallic iron content.
- the blowing was performed by 5 charges, the average value of the amounts of granular iron in the slag at that time was calculated, and the standard deviation of 5 charges was calculated.
- the granular iron contained in the slag can be coarsened and dissolved in the metal bath, the slag having a reduced metallic iron content compared with the related art can be stably obtained, and thus, efficiency in the reforming treatment of the slag can be improved.
