Description

  The present invention relates to a method for granulating a blended raw material having a small amount of core particles and a large amount of fine powder.

  As a sintering raw material, powdered iron ore (fine ore) is used as a main raw material, and an auxiliary raw material whose components are adjusted as necessary is blended. Then, by mixing water and a binder with the sintering raw material and performing a granulation treatment, the amount of fine powder charged into the sintering machine is reduced.

In the granulation treatment, it is generally performed to produce a granulated substance (pseudo particle) in which fine powder is attached around core particles (coarse particles). Granulation is an important operation for maintaining and improving sintering productivity, and various studies have been made in the past.
Patent Literature 1 states that if the amount of a powdery substance (fine powder) is too large relative to a granular substance (core particles), the strength of the granulated substance is reduced. Has been described. Patent Document 1 describes that the strength of a granulated product is improved by adding fine particles of calcium carbonate.

  Patent Literature 2 describes that sintering productivity is improved by effectively utilizing ore return. The invention described in Patent Document 2 is directed to a fine ore raw material in which pisolite ore is most mixed (see Table 1 in Patent Document 2). Patent Literature 2 discloses Invention Example 1 in which returned ore containing 1% or more of 80% by mass or more is added to a granulated product after granulation (hand mixing with a scoop), or a sintering raw material to which returned ore of 1 mm or less is added. Comparative Example 2 or the like is shown in which Comparative Example 2 and the like are granulated into granules, and the ore returned to the granules is 1 mm or more (mixed with a scoop).

  Patent Literature 3 also describes that sintering productivity is improved by effectively utilizing returned ore. The invention described in Patent Document 3 is directed to a powder ore raw material in which about 70% of Loeb River ore and Hamasley ore are blended (see Table 1 of Patent Document 3). Patent Literature 3 discloses an example of granulating an ungranulated sintering raw material with a drum mixer (test numbers T1 to T3), and returns ore containing about 30% by mass of particles of 1 mm or less to another sintering process. An example in which the raw material is granulated with a drum mixer and an example in which the raw material is added to a granulated material granulated by a drum mixer (mixing with a scoop) are shown. In Test Nos. T5 and T6, an example is shown in which after high-speed agitation is performed using a high-speed stirring mixer and a pan pelletizer, high-temperature ore return at 600 ° C. is mixed with a drum mixer.

  In recent years, ore types including particulate matter serving as core particles have been depleted, and ore types with many fine powders have been mainly used. Even as a compounding raw material in which a certain amount of core particles is secured by mixing a plurality of ore types, the ratio of fine powder of 250 μm under (ore under a 250 μm sieve) in fine ore is 20% by mass or more and 1 mm over ( The ratio of the core particles of the coarse ore on the sieve having a sieve of 1 mm must be 65% by mass or less, and the ratio of the fine powder to the core particles is constantly in a very large state. Therefore, the necessity of granulating a sintering raw material having a small amount of core particles and a large amount of fine powder (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a “fine powder raw material of loess core particles”) is increasing. However, when the pseudo particles are produced using the fine powder raw material of the loess core particles, the fine powder attached to the core particles becomes thicker than before, and more ungranulated fine powder is generated.

  A drum mixer or a high-speed stirrer (kneader) is generally used as a granulator for the granulation process. Drum mixers are primarily suitable for the production of pseudo-particles and are suitable for processing large quantities of raw materials, but suffer from the above-mentioned problem of ungranulated fines. On the other hand, compared with a drum mixer, a high-speed stirrer can granulate not only pseudo particles but also pellet particles mainly composed of only fine powder, but like a drum mixer, ungranulated fine powder is generated.

  The non-granulated fine powder after the granulation treatment includes fine powder that has not been granulated, fine powder generated by the collapse of the granulated material after granulation, and the like. In addition, the sintering rate during sintering decreases, and the productivity of sinter decreases.

When the fine powder raw material of the loess core particles is granulated using the invention described in Patent Document 1, the increase in the fine powder adhesion thickness (the increase in the fine powder ratio in the fine ore) is not achieved by the addition of fine calcium carbonate. There is a limit to the improvement of the graininess, and the increase of ungranulated fine powder becomes remarkable.
According to the inventions described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, a certain improvement in sintering productivity can be expected, but the invention does not presuppose the blending of ore species having a small number of core particles and a large number of fine powders. However, improvement in sintering productivity cannot be expected.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and in a granulation process of a compounding raw material having a small number of core particles and a large amount of fine powder, a method capable of reducing ungranulated fine powder and improving the productivity of sintered ore. The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a blend comprising a mixture of iron ores of a plurality of brands, wherein a 250 μm under is 20% by mass or more and a 1 mm over is 25% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less and an auxiliary material. When the raw material is subjected to granulation treatment using a drum mixer, a method of adding a return of 200 ° C. or less,
A part or all of the returned ore is added at the outlet of the drum mixer,
Assuming that the mass of the iron ore under 250 mm is Wpo, the mass of the returned ore over 1 mm added at the outlet side of the drum mixer is Wrre, and the total length of the drum mixer is L,
The returned ore added on the outlet side of the drum mixer is added in a range of 0.5 L to 0.98 L, with 250 μm under being 10% by mass or less and Wrre / Wpo ≧ 0.062,
Water is added by the time the refining is added at the outlet side of the drum mixer, and the granulated moisture is set to 9.7 to 11.6% by mass based on the blending raw material before the refining is added. It is characterized by:

  In addition, "under" indicates the bottom of the sieve when the sieve having the size described is used, and "over" indicates the top of the sieve.

  In the granulation process using a drum mixer, pseudo particles in which fine powder is attached around core particles are produced. The core particles are mainly composed of coarse particles exceeding 1 mm. The fine powder (adhered fine powder) adhering to the core particles has a large particle size of 250 μm or less, and may not be adhered to become ungranulated fine powder.

  Granulation treatment of iron ore with a small amount of core particles and a large amount of fine particles, in which the ratio of fine particles under 250 μm is 20% by mass or more and the ratio of coarse particles exceeding 1 mm is 25% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less, which is the object of the present invention. In this case, the attached thickness of the fine powder becomes larger than that of the conventional pseudo particles. According to the knowledge of the present inventors, when iron ore in which the ratio of fine powder under 250 μm is 20% by mass or more is granulated, the thickness of the attached fine powder is 300 μm or more. When the conventional sintering raw material having a large number of core particles is subjected to granulation treatment, the fine powder adhesion thickness is approximately 150 μm. It can be said that it is very thick.

Therefore, in rolling granulation using a drum mixer, in addition to the problem of ungranulated fine powder, there is a problem that the granulated pseudo-particles collapse during the granulation process. Even when iron ore having a small amount of core particles and a large amount of fine particles is granulated with a high-speed stirrer, disintegration of ungranulated fine particles and pseudo particles becomes a problem.
Although the above tendency is affected by the added auxiliary material, the point that the problem of disintegration of ungranulated fine powder and pseudo particles due to the decrease of core particles and the increase of fine powder remains unchanged.

Therefore, the present inventors worked on the development of a method for reducing ungranulated fine powder in the granulation treatment of a blended raw material having a small number of core particles and a large amount of fine powder.
The present inventors have obtained the following findings by performing various experiments.
Observation of pseudo-particles after granulation with a drum mixer reveals that when the granulation moisture is increased from 7% by mass to 9.7% by mass, the thickness of the fine powder adhering to the core particles tends to increase. Was. From this, it was found that increasing the granulated moisture reduces the ungranulated fine powder.

However, ungranulated fine powder remains even due to an increase in moisture during granulation.
The ungranulated fine powder is reduced by rolling and granulating with a drum mixer by adding returned ore (coarse ore return) of 200 ° C. or less and over 1 mm. It is considered that this is because the ungranulated fine powder remaining during the granulation adheres to the coarse-grained ore returned as new core particles from the middle to the second half of the granulation.

  Further, in the method for granulating a blended raw material according to the present invention, the iron ore is divided into two or more groups according to its particle diameter, and the iron ore of the group having the smallest average particle diameter is formed of quicklime and / or slaked lime. The binder may be added in an amount of 0.5% by mass or more and 6% by mass or less in terms of quicklime in terms of the total amount of iron ore in the group, and charged into the high-speed stirrer, and then charged into the inlet side of the drum mixer. Good.

  The iron ore of the group having the smallest average particle diameter after dividing the fine powder raw material of the loess core particles targeted by the present invention into two or more groups (hereinafter also referred to as “ultra-less core fine particle raw material”) is as follows. Further, the particle size is such that the core particles are small and the fine powder is large. When quicklime and / or slaked lime are added to the ultraless core particle fine powder raw material and granulation is performed by a high-speed stirrer, pseudo particles composed of only fine powder (hereinafter, also referred to as “P-type particles”) are formed. , Acts as core particles for adhering fine powder in a drum mixer.

  In the method for granulating the blended raw material according to the present invention, 9.7 to 11.6% by mass of water is added to the blended raw material having a small amount of core particles and a large amount of fine powder to perform drum mixer granulation, and further from the middle to the latter half of the granulation. , And a drum mixer granulation is performed by adding coarse-grained ore. As a result, ungranulated fine powder can be reduced to such an extent that sintering productivity can be significantly improved.

It is a flow figure of the granulation method of the compounding material concerning a 1st embodiment of the present invention. It is a flow figure of the granulation method of the compounding material concerning a 2nd embodiment of the present invention.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention.

[Method of Granulating Compounding Raw Material According to First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 shows a flow of a granulation method of a compounding raw material according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, when the compounded raw material having a small amount of core particles and a large amount of fine powder is subjected to granulation using the drum mixer 10, return ore is added.
Generally, returned ore is fine powder that is generated when sinter after firing is pulverized to a size suitable for introduction into a blast furnace, and has a small particle size that is not suitable for introduction into a blast furnace. It refers to mineral powder and contains a lot of fine powder under 1 mm.

  The blending raw material contains a mixture of iron ores 14 of a plurality of brands, and a coarse raw material with a 250 μm under 20% by mass or more and a 1 mm over coarse particle of 25% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less and an auxiliary material. The auxiliary raw materials are carbonaceous materials, limestone, and the like.

As described above, when iron ore in which the ratio of fines under 250 μm is 20% by mass or more is granulated, the thickness of the attached fines 21 becomes 300 μm or more. The problem is that the quasi-particles that have been granulated collapse during the granulation process. The reason why the amount of coarse particles exceeding 1 mm is set to 65% by mass or less is due to the iron ore circumstances in recent years.
On the other hand, when the amount of coarse particles exceeding 1 mm is less than 25% by mass, a remarkable sintering productivity improvement effect cannot be obtained even by the present invention. This is presumably because the core particles 20 were too small, the thickness of the attached fine powder 21 was extremely large, and the pseudo particle structure could not be maintained even by the present invention.
Although the upper limit of the fine powder under 250 μm is not specified, the coarse particles exceeding 1 mm are 25% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less. Is about 60% by mass or less from the actual state.

The returned ore is added in its entirety at the outlet of the drum mixer 10.
For the ore return, use low-temperature return at 200 ° C or lower. This is because, when the temperature exceeds 200 ° C., for example, the temperature of the ore return is about 400 ° C., irregular evaporation of the granulation water is caused, and the granulation property is not stabilized.

  In the present embodiment, water is added by the time the refining at the outlet side of the drum mixer 10 is added, and the granulated water is reduced to 9.7 to 11.6 in terms of the number of the raw materials before the addition of the refining. % By mass.

The fine powder raw material of the loess core particles targeted by the present invention has a large specific surface area and requires a large amount of water to form a water film for appropriately maintaining the granulated product. Therefore, in the granulation treatment of the fine powder raw material of the loess core particles, the granulation moisture is set to 9.7 mass% or more, which is higher than the known optimum range. However, since an excessive increase in granulated water hinders sintering productivity, the present invention reduces the pre-sintering water by adding return ore from the outlet side of the drum mixer 10.
When the granulated water content is increased to more than 11.6% by mass (water content before sintering is more than 9.5% by mass), the yield is reduced and a remarkable sintering productivity improvement effect cannot be obtained. .

In the following description, the mass of the iron ore 14 under 250 mm is Wpo, and the mass of the returned ore (coarse-grain returned) 18 over 1 mm added at the outlet side of the drum mixer 10 is Wrre.
Further, from the middle to the latter half of the drum mixer 10, fine powder that has not been granulated to the position where the coarse-grained ore return 18 is newly added as core particles, or fine powder that has been granulated but has been generated by the collapse of pseudo-particles is removed. The non-granulated fine powder 22 on the exit side of the drum mixer 10 (after the granulation process) may be referred to as the intermediate non-granulated fine powder 22 and the final non-granulated fine powder 23 in some cases.

The returned ore added at the outlet side of the drum mixer 10 has a returned ore return (fine powder return) 16 under 250 μm of 10% by mass or less and Wrre / Wpo ≧ 0.062.
In the drum mixer 10, the pseudo particles increase the adhesion thickness, but the fine powder that has not adhered becomes the intermediate non-granulated fine powder 22. Therefore, the intermediate ungranulated fine powder 22 is captured on the uneven surface by newly adding the coarse-grain returned ore 18 having a square surface with no fine powder yet attached from the outlet side of the drum mixer 10. To reduce the final ungranulated fine powder 23.
It is considered that as the iron ore 14 under 250 mm increases, the amount of the intermediate ungranulated fine powder 22 increases and the required amount of the coarse-grain returned ore 18 increases. Therefore, the lower limit (0.062) of the coarse-grained ore return 18 was determined based on the mass ratio (Wrre / Wpo) to the iron ore 14 under 250 mm.
Since it is necessary to reduce the fines, the fines returned 16 added at the outlet of the drum mixer 10 are specified to be 10% by mass or less (0% by mass may be used).

  With respect to Wrre / Wpo, there is no effect of inhibiting reduction of ungranulated fine powder, and the upper limit is not particularly defined. However, it is desirable to carry out the process within a range where Wrre does not exceed the amount of returned ore that exceeds 1 mm generated in the sintering process, and the upper limit is generally about 1.5 based on the operating conditions.

  Although Wrre / Wpo is a mass ratio, a mass supplied to the drum mixer 10 per unit time, for example, ton / hour may be used as a unit in order to obtain the ratio.

The position where the return ore is added at the outlet side of the drum mixer 10 is set to 0.5 L to 0.98 L, where L is the total length of the drum mixer 10.
In the case of more than 0.98 L, the period for attaching the intermediate ungranulated fine powder 22 to the added coarse-grained ore return 18 is short, and the effect of reducing the final ungranulated fine powder 23 is limited.
On the other hand, in the case of less than 0.5 L, the effect of reducing the final ungranulated fine powder 23 is limited. This is because the present invention obtains the effect of remarkably reducing the final ungranulated fine powder 23 by adding the coarse-grained ore return 18 in the middle to the latter half of the drum mixer 10. This is because the reduction of the intermediate non-granulated fine powder 22 is not sufficient, and is substantially the same as the addition from the entry side instead of the addition in the middle to the latter half.

[Granulation method of compounding raw material according to second embodiment]
FIG. 2 shows a flow of a method for granulating compounded raw materials according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The configuration of the blended raw materials, the amount of water added, and the amount and position of the returned mineral in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, the iron ore 14 is divided into two or more groups (here, groups of the iron ores 14a and 15) according to their particle diameters, and the quick-lime and / or Alternatively, a binder composed of slaked lime is added in an amount of 0.5% by mass or more and 6% by mass or less in terms of quicklime in terms of the total amount of iron ore in the group, and charged into the high-speed stirrer 11 to produce P-type particles 24. . Then, the P-type particles 24 are charged into the input side of the drum mixer 10 together with other compounding materials. The fine powder adheres to the P-type particles 24 in the drum mixer 10 to form P-type particles 24a.

In the experiments by the inventors, the ultra-less core particle fine powder raw material (iron ore of the group having the smallest average particle size after dividing the fine powder material of the loess core particle targeted by the present invention into two or more groups) was used. After adding 0.5% by mass or more of quicklime, the method of granulating the blended raw material according to the first embodiment further reduced the final ungranulated fine powder 23. Alternatively, the amount of the binder made of slaked lime is set to 0.5% by mass or more in outer caliper of the total amount of the ultraless core particle fine powder raw material in terms of quicklime. When the amount of quicklime added is less than 0.5% by mass, the P-type particles 24 become brittle, and the P-type particles 24 and 24a collapse during granulation by the drum mixer 10.
On the other hand, if quick lime is excessively added to the ultraless core particle fine powder raw material, the effect of increasing the strength of the P-type particles 24 is saturated. According to the findings of the present inventors, it was confirmed that the effect tended to be saturated when the amount of quicklime added was 6% by mass.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above-described embodiments, and is considered within the scope of the matters described in the claims. It also includes other embodiments and modified examples. For example, in the above embodiment, the entire amount of returned ore is added at the outlet of the drum mixer, but a part of the returned ore is added at the inlet of the drum mixer, and the rest of the returned ore is added to the outlet of the drum mixer. May be added.

A verification test performed to verify the effect of the present invention will be described.
Table 1 shows a list of test results. In the table, "+" means "over" and "-" means "under".

  As the granulator, a batch type drum mixer tester having an inner diameter (diameter) of 1 m was used. The granulation speed was 25 rpm and the granulation time was 4 minutes. Under the condition of adding the ore return during the granulation, the granulation of the sintering raw material was temporarily stopped, and after adding the return ore, the granulation was restarted. The total granulation time before and after the reversion addition is 4 minutes.

The iron ore used had a fine powder content of less than 250 μm and a ratio of 20% by mass.
The returned ore was 20% by mass, and the entire amount was added at a predetermined position on the drum mixer exit side.
As auxiliary materials, 5% by mass of coke breeze, 9% by mass of limestone, and 1% by mass of peridotite were blended.

The returned ore to be added at a predetermined position on the exit side of the drum mixer was subjected to mechanical sieving using a low tap shaker in advance, and the particle size was adjusted to match Wrre / Wpo under each test condition.
After confirming the particle size of iron ore and adjusting the particle size of returned ore, after drying each raw material in advance (after absolute drying), the nominal size described in JIS Z8801-1 "Test sieve-Part 1: Metal mesh sieve" A sieve with openings (0.25 mm and 1.0 mm) is subjected to mechanical sieving using a low tap shaker for 300 seconds (classified), and the upper and lower sieves are measured and calculated by the following formula. The particle size was confirmed or adjusted so that the calculated particle size distribution ratio was obtained.
Xmm under: Using a sieve with a sieve mesh of Xmm, calculated by "(mass under sieve) / (mass over sieve + mass under sieve) x 100 (mass%)".
Xmm over: Calculated as "(mass on sieve) / (mass on sieve + mass under sieve) x 100 (mass%)" using a sieve with a sieve mesh of Xmm.

The position where the return ore is added at the drum mixer outlet side is described as a value when α × L based on the total length L of the drum mixer assuming application to a continuous drum mixer in an actual manufacturing process. Was calculated by the following equation.
α = Granulation time (min) / 4 (min) until the return ore addition
For example, if the granulation time until the addition of the return is 3 minutes, the granulation time after the addition is 1 minute, and the return addition position is 0.75 L.
In the continuous drum mixer, the sintering raw material supplied from one opening of the drum is conveyed to the other opening while granulating, and the granulated material is discharged from the other opening by inclining the drum. It is a device to do.

  In Example 4, the iron ore was divided into two groups according to its particle size, and a group having a small average particle size (the ratio of fine powder under 250 μm was 30% by mass) was divided into 0.5% Was charged into an Erich mixer (high-speed stirrer) and pre-granulated, and then charged together with iron ore of another group into a drum mixer and granulated.

The sintering test was carried out by charging a granulated material subjected to a granulation treatment with a drum mixer into a sintering pot and performing a pot test (sintering pot test). The firing time was defined as the time from the start of ignition of the upper portion of the raw material to the time when the temperature of the exhaust gas measured immediately below the pan reaches the highest point (generally referred to as BTP).
Then, the sintering productivity was calculated from the results of the pot test by the following formula, and the relative value to Comparative Example 1 was described as the productivity improvement rate.
Sintering productivity (ton / day / m ² ) = sinter production volume (ton / pot) ÷ pot cross-sectional area (m ² ) ÷ firing time (day / pot)
Here, the sinter production amount was calculated by dropping the fired product obtained in the pot test four times from a height of 2 m and measuring the amount of over 6 mm. The 6 mm under which is powdered in the dropping step results in a yield drop in the sintering step.

  Regarding the “granulated water before refining addition” shown in Table 1, at the timing when granulation of the sintering raw material was temporarily stopped in order to add refining, the granulated material was added before refining was added. Sampling was performed to measure the moisture, and the value was described.

  In the evaluation, when the productivity improvement rate is 7.5% or more, ◎ (excellent), when less than 7.5%, 5% or more, （(good), when less than 5%, more than 0%, 可 (acceptable), 0 % Or less x (impossible).

The findings from the verification tests are listed below.
-In all the examples, the productivity improvement rate was 5% or more. In particular, in Example 4, the productivity improvement rate was able to be 7.6%.
When the iron ore was divided into three or more groups according to its particle size, the same tendency as in Example 4 was recognized, though the productivity improvement rate was different.

-The productivity improvement rate was able to be improved by setting the coarse particles of 1 mm over to 25% by mass or more in the iron ore containing a plurality of brands (Comparative Example 2 to Example 1).
-The productivity improvement rate was able to be improved by making the granulated water before adding the remineralization at the outlet of the drum mixer 9.7 mass% or more and 11.6 mass% or less (Comparative Examples 7 and 8). Examples 1 and 3).

The productivity improvement rate could be improved by setting the proportion of the 250 μm ore returned ore added at the drum mixer outlet side to 10% by mass or less (Comparative Example 3 with Example 1).
The productivity improvement rate could be improved by setting the addition position of the returned ore added at the drum mixer outlet side to 0.5 L to 0.98 L where L is the total length of the drum mixer (Comparative Examples 4 and 5). Examples 1 and 2).
The productivity improvement rate could be improved by setting Wrre / Wpo to 0.062 or more (Example 1 with respect to Comparative Example 6).

  Examples 1 to 4 show examples in which returned minerals were added in an amount of 20% by mass, but the effect of the present invention was recognized even when the content was changed to about 10 to 30% by mass.
