Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高炉ガスの集塵方法に係わり、詳しくは、高炉からの排ガスに含まれるダストを、乾式集塵装置であるバグ・フィルタ及び湿式集塵機であるベンチュリ・スクラバを交互に切り替えて回収する技術に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、溶銑を溶製する高炉では、前記高炉ガスの圧力を利用する炉頂圧発電が普及している。それに伴い、高炉ガスに含まれるダストの集塵は、図1に示すように、ベンチュリ・スクラバ1、シックナ2等が主体の従来から使用している湿式集塵装置に加え、バグ・フィルタ3を備えた乾式集塵機を併設し、交互に切り替えて行われるようになった。その理由は、湿式集塵装置を用いると、高炉4からの排ガス5(以下、高炉ガスという)は、水冷されてその容積を減らし、炉頂発電機6に供給するエネルギーが少なくなるので、できるだけ乾式で集塵したいからである。そして、高炉ガスは200℃前後の高温であり、且つ大型高炉(例えば、容量4000m程度)では1日あたり40〜50トンに及ぶ多量のダストを濾過するために、濾布の材質として、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン膜をフェルト基地に熱融着した耐熱仕様の特殊なものが使用されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
ところが、このような材質の濾布(バグという)は、有機物の脱水反応で製造された材料を採用することが多いので、ダストに含まれるアルカリ分及び高炉ガス中の水蒸気がバグの劣化を促進し、その寿命は非常に短い。そのため、高炉の操業に際しては、原料に伴なわれて炉内に入るアルカリ分の装入原単位をある一定レベル以下に管理すると共に、回収したダストの成分を分析し、バグがアルカリに晒される量を把握していた。そして、ダストのアルカリ濃度が上昇した際には、バグ・フィルタ3の運転を停止し、高炉ガスの排出ルートを前記湿式集塵装置であるベンチュリ・スクラバ1側に切り替え、従来通りの集塵を行うと共に、高炉4へのアルカリ分の装入原単位が低下するように、原料の銘柄調整を実施して、ダストのアルカリ分が低下していることを確認してから、運転の再開を判断していた。つまり、乾式集塵装置であるバグ・フィルタ3及び湿式集塵機であるベンチュリ・スクラバ1が併設されている高炉4では、高炉ガス5に含まれるダストを、方式の異なる集塵装置を交互に切り替えて回収するようにしているのが現状である。

【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、回収したダストを分析してアルカリ量を把握する手法では、ダストのアルカリ濃度が実際に上昇してからかなりの時間が経過して、バグ・フィルタの運転停止判断を行うことになるので、バグにアルカリ濃度の高いダストが長期間触れてしまい、急激にその劣化を促進してしまう。また、運転停止後は、ベンチュリ・スクラバにより湿式除塵することになり、ダストは水により洗浄された形で回収されるので、湿式除塵の前にダスト中のアルカリ濃度を把握する手段が工程的には難しく、湿式集塵装置の入り側配管からスポット的にダストをサンプリングし、採取試料のアルカリ濃度を把握していた。しかし、スポット分析であるため代表性に欠けるばかりでなく、高炉ガス中に含まれるアルカリを低減する原料銘柄の調整も妥当性に欠けるので、再運転開始直後に濾布を劣化させてしまう危険性を常にはらんでいた。
【0006】
本発明は、かかる事情に鑑み、高炉ガスに含まれるダストを回収する乾式集塵装置及び湿式集塵装置の運転を交互に切り替えるに際して、その切り替え時期の判断を従来より精度良く、且つ迅速に実施可能な高炉ガスの集塵方法を提供することを目的としている。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
発明者は、上記目的を達成するため鋭意研究を重ね、その成果を本発明に具現化した。
【0008】
すなわち、本発明は、高炉の排ガス配管に分岐して設けた乾式集塵装置であるバグ・フィルタと湿式集塵装置であるベンチュリ・スクラバとで高炉ガスの通過を交互に切り替え、該高炉ガスが含むダストを回収するに際して、前記両集塵装置の入り側で一定時間毎に排ガス配管より高炉ガスの試料を採取し、直ちに該試料を燃焼させて、発生した燃焼ガスのNOx濃度を測定すると共に、該測定値を予め求めてある燃焼ガスのNOx濃度と前記ダストのアルカリ濃度との関係に照らし、該関係に設定した閾値に基づき、前記切り替えの時期を判断することを特徴とする高炉ガスの集塵方法である。
【0009】
本発明によれば、高炉ガスがアルカリ分の高いダストを含むかどうかの判断が迅速、且つ精度良く行えるようになる。その結果、バグの高炉ガスに晒される期間が短縮され、その寿命が延長されるようになる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、発明をなすに至った経緯をまじえ、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
【0011】
まず、発明者は、バグ・フィルタを利用する乾式集塵装置とベンチュリ・スクラバを利用した湿式集塵装置が併用される現在の高炉ガスの集塵において、バグ・フィルタの寿命が極めて短いことに着眼した。ダストのアルカリ濃度がバグの劣化に影響を与えることは従来より言われているが、前記したように、その濃度を分析する方法が適切でなく、また管理目標値の把握も十分でない。そこで、実態を詳細に調査したところ、回収したダストのアルカリ濃度がある値を超えた時期に、バグ(濾布)の破損が頻発していることを知った。そして、ダストのアルカリ濃度がこの値以上になる時期が迅速且つ正確に把握できれば、その時期にはバグ・フィルタへの高炉ガスの通過を停止し、ベンチュリ・スクレバを通過させ、アルカリ濃度が十分に低い時期には通過を逆にすれば、従来より改良されると考えた。
【0012】
しかしながら、ダストのアルカリ濃度がこの値以上になる時期を、直接的にしかも迅速、且つ正確に把握することは非常に難しいので、高炉ガスを利用して迅速に測定できる項目のうちに、高炉ガスが含むダストのアルカリ濃度と対応するものがあれば、それを一定時間毎に連続的に測定すると共に監視し、乾式集塵装置の運転及び停止の切り替えを時間遅れなく実施できると考え、引き続きその項目の選定を検討した。
【0013】
一般にカリウムを代表とするアルカリ成分は、低沸点化合物を形成することが多く、溶銑を溶製する高炉では、その炉内に充填された原料の表層のうち、高炉ガスが大量に通過する領域の温度が800℃を超えると、ガス状態のアルカリ化合物が排出される高炉ガスに多量に含まれるようになる。そして、高炉ガスに伴われるダストに捕獲され、そのアルカリ濃度を増加する。この高炉の原料表層部分に、温度の高い領域を形成する操業を実施している際に発生している高炉ガスをある条件で燃焼させると、その燃焼排ガスにNOxが多量に含まれることが知られていた。そのため、発明者は、この事実に注目し、実際の高炉ガスから試料を採取し、その燃焼排ガスのNOxを測定し、該測定期間中に回収したダストのアルカリ濃度との相関を調査した。その結果、図2に示すように、非常に強い関係があることがわかった。なお、図2においては、横軸は高炉ガスから試料を採り、その試料を燃焼した燃焼排ガス中のNOxを測定した中で、最も高い数値を1として指数化した数値である。また、縦軸は上記高炉ガスから試料を採取したタイミングで採取したダストのサンプルを化学分析してKO,NaOの濃度の和を求め、前記NOxが最も高い数値を示した時のKO,NaOの濃度の和を1として指数化したものである。
【0014】
このことから、発明者は、前記項目として、高炉ガスを燃焼させた排ガスに含まれるNOxを選定し、それを連続測定すると共に、管理のための閾値を設定することで、本発明を完成させた。つまり、本発明は、図1に示すように、高炉4の排ガス配管に分岐して設けた乾式集塵装置であるバグ・フィルタ3と湿式集塵装置であるベンチュリ・スクラバ1とで高炉ガス5の通過を交互に切り替え、該高炉ガス5が含むダストを回収するに際して、前記両集塵装置の入り側のガス・サンプリング地点7で一定時間毎に排ガス配管より高炉ガス5の試料を採取し、直ちに該試料を燃焼させて、発生した燃焼ガスのNOx濃度を測定すると共に、該測定値を予め求めてある燃焼ガスのNOx濃度と前記ダストのアルカリ濃度との関係に照らし、該関係に設定した閾値に基づき、前記切り替えの時期を判断して集塵を行うものである。この場合、ガスのサンプリング地点は、図1に示す位置に限る必要はなく、炉頂発電機6の後流側でも問題はない。一般に高炉では、高炉ガスの一部を分岐して熱風炉で燃焼させることで送風温度の上昇を行っているので、この熱風炉の燃焼ガスをサンプリングしてNOxを測定し、その測定値で管理しても良い。
【0015】
以上のように、本発明では、まず熱風炉の燃焼排ガス中のNOx濃度を連続測定すると共に、乾式集塵によるダストを、ダストの排出タイミングに合わせてサンプリングしてアルカリ濃度(KO,NaOのダスト中mass%の和)を求める。次に、このアルカリ濃度とダストの排出タイミング間における平均NOx濃度とをプロットして、図2に示すようなNOx濃度とアルカリ濃度との関係を求める。そして、この間の乾式集塵の濾布の損傷状況を把握することで、濾布の寿命が目標期間以上となるアルカリ濃度値とNOx濃度との関係を図2上に設定できる。すなわち、濾布の寿命が目標以上となるダスト中アルカリ濃度を維持できる高炉ガス燃焼排ガス中のNOx濃度の上限を求めることができる。
【0016】
高炉のダスト中アルカリ濃度と高炉ガス燃焼排ガス中のNOx濃度との関係は、高炉の内容積、原料条件等によって異なるので、図2の関係や高炉ガス燃焼排ガス中のNOx濃度の上限値等は、高炉毎に異なる。従って、本発明を各炉に適用するに当たっては、それぞれ図2の関係を実操業で求めておくことが好ましい。
【0017】
高炉ガスの燃焼排ガス中のNOx濃度は通常変動するものであるので、湿式集塵と乾式集塵との切替えは、上記NOx濃度の上限値を閾値として、例えば乾式集塵装置運転時にNOx濃度が上昇して上記閾値を所定時間(2〜12時間程度)閾値以上に推移した時点で湿式集塵へ切り替えるといった操作を行い、また湿式集塵運転時にNOx濃度が閾値以下に下がって同様な所定時間閾値以下に推移した時点で乾式集塵へ復帰するといった作業をする。これにより、集塵機の切り替えによる高炉の変動を最小限にしつつ、乾式集塵機の濾布のダスト中アルカリによる損傷を防止することができる。
【0018】
【実施例】
乾式集塵装置及び湿式集塵装置が併設された、容積4500m級の高炉操業において、本発明を適用した。なお、乾式集塵装置としては、バグの懸架数が合計648本のバグ・フィルタであり、バグの材質はポリイミド繊維のフェルト地にポリテトラフルオロエチレン膜を熱融着したものである。また、高炉ガスは、集塵装置の入り側配管で温度が160〜200℃、平均流量が64万m(標準状態)/hである。
【0019】
高炉に付随している熱風炉で、高炉ガスを燃料として使用しているため、高炉ガスの燃焼排ガスとして、熱風炉燃焼排ガスをガスクロマトグラフィーにより連続分析した。また、上記したように、乾式集塵ダスト中のアルカリ濃度 (KO,NaOのダスト中mass%の和)を、1日1回のダスト排出時に採取したダストのサンプルを分析して求め、図2の関係を求めた。
【0020】
この炉では、ダストのアルカリ濃度が指数で0.43以下となる時に、濾布の損傷がないことがわかったので、高炉ガス燃焼排ガス中NOxの閾値は、図2より指数で0.7と設定することができ、これを基準として乾式集塵設備の運転範囲を定めた。すなわち、NOx濃度が0.7以上の状態が8時間推移した状態の時に乾式集塵機を湿式集塵機へ切り替えると共に、0.7以下の状態が8時間以上推移した時点で湿式集塵機から乾式集塵機へ切り替えるという操作を行った。
【0021】
この発明に係る操作を開始する前1年間と開始後1年間をそれぞれ、従来例、発明例として表1に示す。従来は、濾布損傷が頻発した段階で乾式集塵から湿式集塵へ切り替え、その後ダスト中のアルカリ濃度が低減した時点を見計らって乾式集塵へ戻す操作をしていたため、ダスト分析のタイミングによって乾式集塵機の使用が遅れることになり、乾式集塵機の運転時間が高炉の全操業期間の30%程度であったが、本発明の適用により、湿式集塵機の運転中に高炉ガス燃焼排ガス中のNOx濃度の推移を見て、乾式集塵へ戻すことができ、乾式集塵機の運転時間を85%に増加させることができた。また、この間、濾布の破損はなく、その寿命は1年以上に延長された。これは、従来の濾布寿命が0.5〜2ケ月程度であったことに比べ格段の成果である。

以上述べたように、本発明により、高炉ガスがアルカリ分の高いダストを含むかどうかの判断が迅速、且つ精度良く行えるようになる。その結果、乾式集塵装置と湿式集塵装置の運転切り替えが円滑に行えるようになり、乾式集塵装置のバグのアルカリ濃度の大きい高炉ガスに晒される期間が短縮され、その寿命が延長されるようになった。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dust collection method for blast furnace gas, and more specifically, collects dust contained in exhaust gas from a blast furnace by alternately switching between a bag filter as a dry dust collector and a venturi scrubber as a wet dust collector. About technology.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART In recent years, in a blast furnace for melting hot metal, furnace top pressure power generation using the pressure of the blast furnace gas has been widely used. Along with this, as shown in FIG. 1, the dust contained in the blast furnace gas is collected by a bag filter 3 in addition to a conventional wet dust collector mainly using a venturi scrubber 1, a thickener 2 and the like. A dry dust collector equipped with the equipment was installed next to the equipment, and it was switched alternately. The reason is that when a wet dust collector is used, the exhaust gas 5 (hereinafter, referred to as blast furnace gas) from the blast furnace 4 is water-cooled to reduce its volume, and the energy supplied to the furnace top generator 6 is reduced. This is because we want to collect dry dust. The blast furnace gas has a high temperature of about 200 ° C., and a large blast furnace (for example, about 4000 m 3 in capacity) filters a large amount of dust ranging from 40 to 50 tons per day. A special heat-resistant specification in which a tetrafluoroethylene film is thermally fused to a felt base is used (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0003]
However, the filter cloth (called a bag) made of such a material often employs a material produced by a dehydration reaction of an organic substance. Therefore, alkali contained in dust and water vapor in a blast furnace gas accelerate the deterioration of the bag. And its life is very short. Therefore, during the operation of the blast furnace, while controlling the basic unit charge of the alkali that enters the furnace with the raw materials to a certain level or less, the components of the collected dust are analyzed, and the bug is exposed to the alkali. I knew the amount. Then, when the alkali concentration of the dust increases, the operation of the bag filter 3 is stopped, and the discharge route of the blast furnace gas is switched to the Venturi scrubber 1 which is the wet type dust collecting apparatus, so that the conventional dust collecting is performed. At the same time, the brand of the raw material is adjusted so that the basic unit of charge of the alkali into the blast furnace 4 is reduced, and after confirming that the alkali of the dust is reduced, the restart of the operation is determined. Was. That is, in the blast furnace 4 provided with the bag filter 3 as a dry dust collector and the venturi scrubber 1 as a wet dust collector, dust contained in the blast furnace gas 5 is alternately switched between dust collectors of different types. At present, they are being collected.
[0004]

JP-A-10-317 (Claims, page 2)
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the method of analyzing the collected dust to determine the amount of alkali, a considerable time elapses after the alkali concentration of the dust actually increases, and the operation of the bag filter is determined to be stopped. Dust having a high alkali concentration touches the bug for a long time, and accelerates its deterioration rapidly. In addition, after the operation is stopped, the wet dust is removed by a Venturi scrubber, and the dust is collected in a form washed with water.Therefore, means for grasping the alkali concentration in the dust before the wet dust removal is required in the process. It was difficult, and dust was spot-sampled from the inlet pipe of the wet dust collector, and the alkali concentration of the collected sample was grasped. However, not only lack of representativeness due to spot analysis but also lack of validity of adjustment of raw material brands to reduce alkali contained in blast furnace gas, risk of deterioration of filter cloth immediately after restarting operation Was always stuck.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and when alternately switching the operation of the dry dust collector and the wet dust collector for collecting dust contained in the blast furnace gas, the switching timing is more accurately and promptly determined as compared with the conventional method. The aim is to provide a possible blast furnace gas collection method.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventor conducted intensive research to achieve the above object, and realized the results in the present invention.
[0008]
That is, the present invention alternately switches the passage of the blast furnace gas between the bag filter, which is a dry dust collector, and the venturi scrubber, which is a wet dust collector, which is provided by branching into the exhaust gas pipe of the blast furnace. At the time of collecting the dust, a sample of the blast furnace gas is sampled from the exhaust gas pipe at regular intervals on the entry sides of the two dust collectors, and the sample is immediately burned to measure the NOx concentration of the generated combustion gas. Illuminating the measured value with the relationship between the NOx concentration of the combustion gas previously determined and the alkali concentration of the dust, and determining the timing of the switching based on a threshold set for the relationship, It is a dust collection method.
[0009]
According to the present invention, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine whether or not blast furnace gas contains dust having a high alkali content. As a result, the period during which the bag is exposed to the blast furnace gas is reduced, and its life is extended.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, taking into account the circumstances that led to the invention.
[0011]
First, the inventor of the present invention found that in the current dust collection of blast furnace gas using a dry dust collector using a bag filter and a wet dust collector using a venturi scrubber, the life of the bag filter was extremely short. I paid attention. It has been conventionally said that the alkali concentration of dust affects the deterioration of bugs. However, as described above, the method of analyzing the concentration is not appropriate, and the grasp of the management target value is not sufficient. Therefore, a detailed investigation of the actual situation revealed that bugs (filter cloths) were frequently damaged when the alkali concentration of the collected dust exceeded a certain value. Then, if the time when the alkali concentration of the dust becomes equal to or higher than this value can be quickly and accurately grasped, at that time, the passage of the blast furnace gas to the bag filter is stopped, and the air is allowed to pass through the venturi scrubber, so that the alkali concentration is sufficiently high. We thought that reversing the passage at low times would improve the situation.
[0012]
However, it is very difficult to directly, quickly, and accurately grasp the time when the alkali concentration of dust exceeds this value. If there is one that corresponds to the alkali concentration of the dust contained in the dry dust collector, it is continuously measured and monitored at regular intervals, and it is considered that switching between operation and stop of the dry dust collector can be performed without time delay. The selection of items was considered.
[0013]
In general, an alkali component represented by potassium often forms a low-boiling compound, and in a blast furnace for smelting hot metal, a portion of a surface layer of a raw material charged in the furnace, in a region where a large amount of blast furnace gas passes, is used. When the temperature exceeds 800 ° C., a large amount of the alkaline compound in a gaseous state is contained in the discharged blast furnace gas. Then, it is captured by dust accompanying the blast furnace gas and increases its alkali concentration. When the blast furnace gas generated during the operation of forming a high temperature region in the surface layer of the blast furnace is burned under a certain condition, it is known that the flue gas contains a large amount of NOx. Had been. Therefore, the inventor paid attention to this fact, took a sample from the actual blast furnace gas, measured the NOx of the combustion exhaust gas, and investigated the correlation with the alkali concentration of the dust collected during the measurement period. As a result, it was found that there was a very strong relationship as shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents a value obtained by taking a sample from the blast furnace gas and measuring the NOx in the combustion exhaust gas obtained by burning the sample, and setting the highest value to 1 and indexing it. The vertical axis indicates the sum of the concentrations of K 2 O and Na 2 O by chemically analyzing the dust sample collected at the timing when the sample was collected from the blast furnace gas. It is indexed with the sum of the concentrations of K 2 O and Na 2 O as 1.
[0014]
From this, the inventor completed the present invention by selecting, as the item, NOx contained in the exhaust gas obtained by burning the blast furnace gas, continuously measuring it, and setting a threshold for management. Was. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the present invention uses a bag filter 3 which is a dry dust collector and a venturi scrubber 1 which is a wet dust collector provided in a branch in an exhaust gas pipe of a blast furnace 4 and a blast furnace gas 5. When the dust contained in the blast furnace gas 5 is recovered alternately, a sample of the blast furnace gas 5 is sampled from the exhaust gas pipe at regular intervals at the gas sampling point 7 on the entrance side of the two dust collectors, The sample was immediately burned, the NOx concentration of the generated combustion gas was measured, and the measured value was set in the relation to the previously determined relation between the NOx concentration of the combustion gas and the alkali concentration of the dust. Dust collection is performed by determining the timing of the switching based on the threshold value. In this case, the gas sampling point does not need to be limited to the position shown in FIG. 1, and there is no problem on the downstream side of the furnace top generator 6. Generally, in a blast furnace, a part of the blast furnace gas is branched and burned in a hot blast stove to increase the blast temperature. Therefore, the combustion gas in the hot blast stove is sampled, NOx is measured, and the measured value is used for management. You may.
[0015]
As described above, in the present invention, first, the NOx concentration in the combustion exhaust gas of the hot blast stove is continuously measured, and the dust by the dry dust collection is sampled in accordance with the dust discharge timing, and the alkali concentration (K 2 O, Na (Sum of mass% in 2 O dust). Next, the relationship between the NOx concentration and the alkali concentration as shown in FIG. 2 is obtained by plotting the alkali concentration and the average NOx concentration during the dust discharge timing. The relationship between the alkali concentration value and the NOx concentration at which the life of the filter cloth becomes equal to or longer than the target period can be set on FIG. 2 by grasping the damage state of the filter cloth during the dry dust collection. That is, the upper limit of the NOx concentration in the blast furnace gas combustion exhaust gas that can maintain the alkali concentration in the dust that makes the life of the filter cloth longer than the target can be obtained.
[0016]
Since the relationship between the alkali concentration in the dust of the blast furnace and the NOx concentration in the blast furnace gas combustion exhaust gas differs depending on the inner volume of the blast furnace, the raw material conditions, etc., the relationship in FIG. 2 and the upper limit value of the NOx concentration in the blast furnace gas combustion exhaust gas are as follows. , Different for each blast furnace. Therefore, when the present invention is applied to each furnace, it is preferable to obtain the relationship shown in FIG. 2 in actual operation.
[0017]
Since the NOx concentration in the combustion exhaust gas of the blast furnace gas normally fluctuates, switching between wet dust collection and dry dust collection is performed by using the upper limit value of the NOx concentration as a threshold value, for example, when the dry dust collection device is operated. An operation such as switching to wet dust collection is performed when the threshold value rises and changes the threshold value to a predetermined time (about 2 to 12 hours) or more, and a similar predetermined time when the NOx concentration falls below the threshold value during wet dust collection operation Work is performed to return to dry dust collection when the value falls below the threshold. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the filter cloth of the dry dust collector from being damaged by alkali in dust while minimizing the fluctuation of the blast furnace due to the switching of the dust collector.
[0018]
【Example】
Dry dust collector and wet dust collector is juxtaposed, in blast furnace operation volume 4500 m 3 grade, the present invention is applied. The dry dust collector is a bag filter having a total of 648 bag suspensions, and the bag is made of a material obtained by thermally fusing a polytetrafluoroethylene film to a felt of polyimide fiber. The blast furnace gas has a temperature of 160 to 200 ° C. and an average flow rate of 640,000 m 3 (standard state) / h in an inlet pipe of the dust collector.
[0019]
Since the blast furnace gas is used as a fuel in the hot blast furnace attached to the blast furnace, the combustion exhaust gas of the hot blast furnace was continuously analyzed by gas chromatography as the combustion exhaust gas of the blast furnace gas. In addition, as described above, the alkali concentration (the sum of mass% of K 2 O and Na 2 O in the dust) of the dry dust collection dust was determined by analyzing a dust sample collected at the time of dust discharge once a day. The relationship shown in FIG. 2 was obtained.
[0020]
In this furnace, it was found that the filter cloth was not damaged when the alkali concentration of the dust was 0.43 or less as an index, so the threshold value of NOx in the blast furnace gas combustion exhaust gas was 0.7 as an index from FIG. The operating range of the dry dust collection equipment was determined based on this. That is, when the state where the NOx concentration is 0.7 or more changes for 8 hours, the dry dust collector is switched to the wet dust collector, and when the state of 0.7 or less changes for 8 hours or more, the wet dust collector is switched to the dry dust collector. The operation was performed.
[0021]
One year before the operation according to the present invention is started and one year after the operation is started are shown in Table 1 as a conventional example and an example of the invention, respectively. Conventionally, when the filter cloth was damaged frequently, it was switched from dry dust collection to wet dust collection, and then returned to dry dust collection at the time when the alkali concentration in the dust was reduced, so depending on the timing of dust analysis The use of the dry dust collector was delayed, and the operation time of the dry dust collector was about 30% of the entire operation period of the blast furnace. However, by applying the present invention, the NOx concentration in the blast furnace gas combustion exhaust gas during the operation of the wet dust collector was reduced. As a result, it was possible to return to dry dust collection, and to increase the operating time of the dry dust collector to 85%. During this time, there was no damage to the filter cloth, and its life was extended to one year or more. This is a remarkable result as compared with the conventional filter cloth having a life of about 0.5 to 2 months.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly and accurately determine whether or not blast furnace gas contains dust having a high alkali content. As a result, the operation switching between the dry dust collector and the wet dust collector can be smoothly performed, the period during which the bag of the dry dust collector is exposed to the blast furnace gas having a high alkali concentration is shortened, and the life thereof is extended. It became so.
