Description

本発明は、溶鋼の脱硫処理方法及び脱硫剤に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for desulfurizing molten steel and a desulfurizing agent.

近年、鋼の高付加価値化や鉄鋼材料の使用用途拡大等に伴う材料特性向上のために、高純度鋼製造に対する要求が高まっており、特に鉄鋼材料の靭性を低下させる元素である硫黄の含有量が少ない極低硫鋼に対する要求が高くなっている。鉄鋼材料の溶製過程においては、溶銑段階での脱硫処理と溶鋼段階での脱硫処理とがあり、通常、鉄鋼材料は溶銑段階での脱硫処理のみで溶製されている。ところが、高級電磁鋼板やラインパイプ用鋼材等の極低硫鋼の溶製過程では、溶銑段階での脱硫処理のみでは十分でなく、溶銑段階での脱硫処理に加えてさらに溶鋼段階での脱硫処理が必要となる。   In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for high purity steel production in order to improve the material properties accompanying the increase in value added of steel and the usage of steel materials, etc. In particular, the inclusion of sulfur which is an element to reduce the toughness of steel materials There is an increasing demand for low-volume ultra low sulfur steel. In the process of melting steel materials, there are desulfurization processes in the hot metal stage and desulfurization processes in the molten steel stage, and normally, the steel materials are melted only by the desulfurization process in the hot metal stage. However, in the melting process of ultra-low-sulfur steel such as high-grade electrical steel sheet and steel for line pipes, desulfurization treatment at the hot metal stage is not sufficient, and in addition to desulfurization at the hot metal stage, desulfurization at the molten steel stage Is required.

一般に、溶鋼段階での脱硫処理は、溶鋼のアーク加熱手段や攪拌手段、さらには溶鋼へのフラックス又は合金粉等の粉体吹き込み手段を有する、ASEA−SKF法、VAD法、LF法等の取鍋精錬法によって行われている。取鍋精錬法は、転炉での脱炭精錬によって溶製された溶鋼を収容する取鍋内に脱硫剤を添加し、溶鋼と脱硫剤とを攪拌・混合する又はアーク加熱することによって脱硫剤を滓化させ、脱硫剤の滓化により形成されたスラグと溶鋼との間でスラグ−メタル間反応を起こさせて溶鋼中の硫黄成分をスラグ中に移行させるという流れで行われる。   Generally, the desulfurization treatment at the molten steel stage has an arc heating means and stirring means for molten steel, and further, powder blowing means such as flux or alloy powder to molten steel, such as ASEA-SKF method, VAD method, LF method, etc. It is done by the pot refining method. In the ladle refining method, a desulfurizing agent is added to a ladle containing molten steel produced by decarburizing and refining in a converter, and the molten steel and the desulfurizing agent are stirred and mixed or arc-heated to desulfurize the desulfurizing agent. Is carried out in a flow of causing the slag-metal reaction to occur between the slag formed by the desulfurization agent, and the molten steel to transfer the sulfur component in the molten steel into the slag.

ここで、脱硫剤としては、CaO(生石灰)を主成分とし、これに脱硫剤の融点降下を目的とするAl23(アルミナ)、CaF2(蛍石)等を加えた脱硫剤が使用されている。取鍋精錬法による脱硫処理方法で効率的な脱硫反応を起こさせるためには、添加した脱硫剤を早急に滓化させること、及び、攪拌強度を高めて脱硫剤の滓化によって形成されるスラグとメタルとの接触面積を増大させることが重要となる。脱硫剤は取鍋内の溶鋼上に上置き添加されることが一般的であり、添加後にアーク加熱によって脱硫剤を滓化するにしても、また、添加後に溶鋼との攪拌・混合で脱硫剤を滓化するにしても、滓化に長時間を要する。Here, as a desulfurization agent, a desulfurization agent is used that is mainly composed of CaO (fresh lime) and added with Al 2 O 3 (alumina), CaF 2 (fluorite), etc. for the purpose of lowering the melting point of the desulfurization agent. It is done. In order to cause an efficient desulfurization reaction by the desulfurization treatment method by the ladle refining method, the added desulfurization agent is quickly solidified, and the stirring strength is increased to form slag which is formed by the deterioration of the desulfurization agent. It is important to increase the contact area between the metal and the metal. The desulfurizing agent is generally added on top of the molten steel in the ladle, and even if the desulfurizing agent is solidified by arc heating after the addition, the desulfurizing agent is stirred and mixed with the molten steel after the addition. Even if you hatch, it takes a long time to hatch.

そこで、脱硫剤の滓化促進のために、特許文献1には、生石灰、アルミナ、及び蛍石との混合品であるフラックスを添加し、その後バブリング処理を行い、脱硫処理後のスラグ組成をCaO/Al23≧1.5、CaF2≧5質量%として溶鋼を脱硫する方法が開示されている。また、特許文献2には、脱硫剤の滓化促進のために、CaO−Al23のプリメルトフラックス(事前に混合、均一溶解したもの)又はCaO−Al23−CaF2のプリメルトフラックスを脱硫剤として使用する方法が開示されている。一方、溶鋼攪拌の強化については、攪拌用ガス流量を高めることなく攪拌強度を高める手段として、特許文献3,4,5には、フラックスを攪拌用ガスに混入して吹き込む方法が開示されている。Therefore, in order to promote the degradation of the desulfurization agent, Patent Document 1 adds a flux which is a mixture of quicklime, alumina, and fluorite, and then performs bubbling treatment, and the slag composition after desulfurization treatment is CaO A method of desulfurizing molten steel is disclosed as / Al 2 O 3 1.51.5 and CaF 2 55% by mass. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses that a premelt flux of CaO-Al 2 O 3 (premixed and homogeneously dissolved) or a CaO-Al 2 O 3 -CaF 2 precursor is used to promote the degradation of the desulfurizing agent. A method is disclosed for using melt flux as a desulfurizing agent. On the other hand, with regard to the reinforcement of molten steel agitation, Patent Documents 3, 4 and 5 disclose a method of mixing a flux into a gas for agitation and blowing it as a means for enhancing the agitation strength without increasing the gas flow rate for agitation. .

しかしながら、特許文献1記載の方法によれば、CaF2を含有する脱硫剤を使用した場合、生成されるスラグ中のCaF2によって取鍋を形成する耐火物が激しく溶損され、取鍋の寿命が大幅に短くなるという問題がある。また、特許文献2記載の方法によれば、プリメルトフラックスが非常に高価であり、処理コストが上昇するという問題がある。また、CaF2を含有する脱硫剤では前述した問題が同様に発生する。However, according to the method described in Patent Document 1, when a desulfurizing agent containing CaF 2 is used, the refractory forming the ladle is violently dissolved by the CaF 2 in the produced slag, and the lifetime of the ladle There is a problem that is greatly shortened. Further, according to the method described in Patent Document 2, there is a problem that the premelt flux is very expensive and the processing cost is increased. Further, in the desulfurizing agent containing CaF 2 , the above-mentioned problems occur similarly.

一方、特許文献3,4,5記載の方法では、吹き込みガス流量に対してフラックス吹き込み量に限界があり(固気比は5〜30kg/kgが限界)、増加可能な攪拌力には限界がある。また、攪拌用ガス流量を増加した場合には、取鍋内の溶鋼湯面の乱れ(揺動)が激しくなり、スプラッシュが発生して地金が蓋に付着する、又は、電極と溶鋼との間で短絡する等してアークが安定せず、アーク加熱が困難になるという問題等が発生する。   On the other hand, in the methods described in Patent Documents 3, 4 and 5, there is a limit to the amount of blown flux with respect to the flow rate of blown gas (solid-gas ratio is limited to 5 to 30 kg / kg), and there is a limit to the stirring power that can be increased. is there. In addition, when the gas flow rate for stirring is increased, turbulence (rocking) of the surface of the molten steel in the ladle becomes severe, splash occurs, and the metal adheres to the lid, or the electrode and the molten steel Shorting between the two leads to problems such as unstable arcs and difficulty in arc heating.

本発明の発明者らは、上記課題を解決するべく、石灰の粒度及び細孔径や溶鋼成分に着目して鋭意検討を重ねた。より具体的には、本発明の発明者らは、硫黄濃度が0.0030質量%以下である低硫鋼を、CaO含有物質を脱硫剤の主たる構成物質として使用して取鍋精錬法による脱硫処理で溶製するにあたり、CaF2を脱硫剤の一部として使用しなくても、また、脱硫剤がプリメルトフラックスでなくても、脱硫剤として添加したフラックスを迅速に滓化させ、効率良く脱硫処理を行うことを目的とし、種々試験・研究を重ねた。The inventors of the present invention have intensively studied focusing on the particle size and pore diameter of lime and the molten steel component in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. More specifically, the inventors of the present invention use a low-sulfur steel having a sulfur concentration of 0.0030% by mass or less as a main constituent material of a desulfurizing agent using a CaO-containing material as a desulfurization agent-based desulfurization method. Even if CaF 2 is not used as a part of the desulfurizing agent and the desulfurizing agent is not a premelt flux, the flux added as a desulfurizing agent is rapidly aged, and it is efficient Various tests and researches were repeated for the purpose of desulfurizing treatment.

その結果、本発明の発明者らは、脱硫剤として添加したフラックスの滓化促進のためには、フラックスを添加するときの溶鋼の温度、sol.Al濃度、石灰の粒度、及び石灰の細孔径が重要であることを知見した。但し、溶鋼の温度は、転炉からの出鋼時の溶鋼の温度によって決まり、むやみに出鋼時の溶鋼の温度を高くすることは、転炉耐火物の溶損を増大させ、処理コストの増加を招き得策ではない。   As a result, the inventors of the present invention, in order to accelerate the aging of the flux added as a desulfurizing agent, the temperature of the molten steel when adding the flux, sol. It was found that the Al concentration, the particle size of lime, and the pore diameter of lime are important. However, the temperature of the molten steel is determined by the temperature of the molten steel at the time of tapping steel from the converter, and raising the temperature of the molten steel at the time of tapping steel unavoidably increases the erosion of the converter refractories, which leads to the processing cost It is not a good idea to cause an increase.

そこで、本発明の発明者らは、石灰が有する細孔のうち、細孔直径が0.5〜10μmの範囲内にある細孔の容積の和が0.1mL/g以上である生石灰を主成分とする粉状脱硫剤を用いることにより、高効率で脱硫処理を行うことができることを見出し、本発明を想到するに至った。なお、生石灰の細孔径分布は、以下に示す方法で測定した。   Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have mainly taken advantage of quick lime in which the total volume of pores having a pore diameter in the range of 0.5 to 10 μm among the pores possessed by lime is 0.1 mL / g or more. By using the powdery desulfurizing agent as a component, it has been found that desulfurization can be performed with high efficiency, and the present invention has been conceived. In addition, the pore size distribution of quick lime was measured by the method shown below.

まず、前処理として、生石灰を120℃で4時間、恒温乾燥した。次いで、Micromerities社製のオートポアIV9520を用いて、水銀圧入法により、乾燥させた生石灰の細孔直径が約0.0036〜200μmの範囲内にある細孔分布を求め、累積細孔容積曲線を算出した。さらに、算出された累積細孔容積曲線から細孔直径が0.5〜10μmの範囲内にある細孔の容積の和を求めた。   First, as a pretreatment, quick lime was isothermally dried at 120 ° C. for 4 hours. Then, using an Autopore IV9520 manufactured by Micromerities, the pore distribution of dried quick lime in the range of about 0.0036 to 200 μm is determined by mercury intrusion method, and the cumulative pore volume curve is calculated. did. Furthermore, the sum of the volume of pores having a pore diameter in the range of 0.5 to 10 μm was determined from the calculated cumulative pore volume curve.

細孔直径は、以下の数式(3)に示すWashburnの式を用いて算出した。なお、数式(3)において、Pは圧力、Dは細孔直径、σは水銀の表面張力(=480dynes/cm)、θは水銀と試料との接触角(=140degrees)をそれぞれ示す。   The pore diameter was calculated using the Washburn equation shown in the following equation (3). In Equation (3), P represents pressure, D represents pore diameter, σ represents surface tension of mercury (= 480 dynes / cm), and θ represents contact angle between mercury and a sample (= 140 degrees).

高炉から出銑された溶銑は、溶銑鍋やトピードカー等の溶銑搬送用容器で受銑され、次工程の脱炭精錬を行う転炉に搬送される。通常、この搬送途中で溶銑に対して脱硫処理や脱燐処理等の溶銑予備処理が施されており、本発明は、低硫鋼を製造する技術であることから脱硫処理を実施する。また、低硫鋼の成分規格上からは脱燐処理が必要でない場合であっても、転炉出鋼後の脱硫処理における転炉スラグからの復燐を防止するために、脱燐処理を実施する。   The hot metal discharged from the blast furnace is received by a hot metal transfer container such as a hot metal pot or toped car, and is transferred to a converter for decarburizing and refining in the next step. Usually, hot metal pretreatment such as desulfurization treatment and dephosphorization treatment is applied to the hot metal in the middle of the transportation, and the present invention is a technology for producing low-sulfur steel, so the desulfurization treatment is performed. In addition, even if dephosphorization is not necessary because of the component specifications of low-sulfur steel, dephosphorization is performed to prevent reversion from converter slag in the desulfurization after converter steel removal. Do.

次に、脱硫処理及び脱燐処理の施された溶銑に対して転炉で脱炭精錬を実施し、得られた溶鋼を取鍋に出鋼する。転炉での脱炭精錬は、溶銑には既に脱硫処理及び脱燐処理が施されているので、少量の生石灰(CaO)及び少量のドロマイト(MgCO3−CaCO3)又は焼成ドロマイト(MgO−CaO)をフラックスとして使用し、炉内にスラグ(以下、「転炉スラグ」と呼ぶ)を形成させる。この転炉スラグは、溶銑の脱燐反応を促進させる役割を担うが、溶銑が既に脱燐処理されていることから、主たる役割は、吹錬中の鉄スプラッシュの発生防止及び転炉内張り耐火物の溶損抑制である。Next, decarburizing and refining is performed on the desulfurized and dephosphorized hot metal in a converter, and the obtained molten steel is discharged to a ladle. In decarburizing and refining in the converter, the molten metal has already been desulfurized and dephosphorized, so a small amount of quick lime (CaO) and a small amount of dolomite (MgCO 3 -CaCO 3 ) or calcined dolomite (MgO-CaO) ) Is used as flux to form slag (hereinafter referred to as "converter slag") in the furnace. This converter slag plays a role of promoting the dephosphorization reaction of the hot metal, but since the hot metal is already dephosphorized, the main role is to prevent the generation of iron splash during blowing and the converter lining refractory Suppression of

出鋼の末期、溶鋼に混入して転炉スラグが取鍋内に流出するので、これを防止するために、通常実施されるスラグ流出防止対策を実施する。スラグ流出防止対策を実施しても、転炉スラグの完全な流出防止は困難であり、取鍋にはある程度の量の転炉スラグが溶鋼に混入して流出する。出鋼後、溶鋼に混入して流入した転炉スラグを取鍋から除去してもよいが、転炉スラグ中のSiO2成分が、脱硫剤としてその後に添加されるCaO含有物質の滓化に寄与することから除去しなくてもよい。At the end of tapping, since the converter slag mixes into the molten steel and flows out into the ladle, in order to prevent this, the slag outflow prevention measures that are usually implemented are implemented. Even if the slag outflow prevention measures are taken, it is difficult to completely prevent the converter slag from flowing out, and a certain amount of converter slag mixes with the molten steel and flows out to the ladle. After steel removal, converter slag mixed into the molten steel and flowing in may be removed from the ladle, but the SiO 2 component in the converter slag may be added to the CaO-containing material to be subsequently added as a desulfurization agent. It is not necessary to remove from contribution.

取鍋内に所定の組成のCaO−MgO−Al23−SiO2系の脱硫用スラグを形成するべく、フラックスとしてCaO含有物質、MgO含有物質、Al23含有物質、及びSiO2含有物質を取鍋内に添加する。但し、前述したように、MgOはCaOに比較して脱硫能が低いので、MgO含有物質は添加しなくても構わない。また、溶鋼の脱酸及びスラグの還元(スラグ中のFe酸化物及びMn酸化物の還元)のために、取鍋内に金属Alを添加する。A CaO-containing substance, a MgO-containing substance, an Al 2 O 3 -containing substance, and an SiO 2 -containing substance as a flux to form a CaO-MgO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -based desulfurization slag in a ladle in a predetermined composition Add the substance into the ladle. However, as described above, since MgO has a lower desulfurizing ability than CaO, the MgO-containing substance may not be added. In addition, metal Al is added to the ladle for deoxidation of molten steel and reduction of slag (reduction of Fe oxide and Mn oxide in slag).

これらの物質は、ASEA−SKF法、VAD法、及びLF法のうちのいずれかの方法により脱硫処理を実施する後工程の設備で添加してもよいが、CaOの滓化を促進させる観点から、転炉から取鍋への出鋼時又は出鋼直後に取鍋内に添加することが好ましい。出鋼直後に添加する生石灰は、生石灰が有する細孔のうち、細孔直径が0.5〜10μmの範囲内にある細孔の容積の和が0.1mL/g以上であり、且つ、粒径が1〜30mmの範囲内にある粒子を90%以上含有することが好ましい。   These substances may be added in the post-process equipment that carries out the desulfurization treatment by any of the ASEA-SKF method, the VAD method, and the LF method, but from the viewpoint of promoting the hatching of CaO It is preferable to add to the ladle at the time of tapping the steel from the converter to the ladle or immediately after tapping. Among the pores possessed by quicklime, the quicklime added immediately after tapping is the sum of the volume of the pores whose pore diameter is in the range of 0.5 to 10 μm, and the particle size is not less than 0.1mL / g. It is preferable to contain 90% or more of particles having a diameter in the range of 1 to 30 mm.

CaO含有物質、MgO含有物質、金属Al、Al23含有物質、及びSiO2含有物質の添加量は、取鍋内に流出した転炉スラグの質量及び成分組成を加味し、この転炉スラグを含めて添加されるフラックスが滓化した後に取鍋内に生成されるスラグの組成が、SiO2含有量=5〜15質量%の範囲内で、且つ、[(質量%CaO)+(質量%MgO)]/(質量%Al23)=1.5〜3.0の範囲内となるように、好ましくは[(質量%CaO)+(質量%MgO)]/(質量%Al23)=1.8〜2.5の範囲内となるように、CaO含有物質、MgO含有物質、金属Al、Al23含有物質、及びSiO2含有物質のそれぞれの添加量を定める。The addition amounts of the CaO-containing substance, the MgO-containing substance, the metal Al, the Al 2 O 3 -containing substance, and the SiO 2 -containing substance take into account the mass and component composition of the converter slag that has flowed into the ladle. The composition of the slag generated in the ladle after the flux added including H2O is in the range of 5 to 15 mass% of SiO 2 content, and [(mass% CaO) + (mass % MgO)] / (mass% Al 2 O 3 ) = 1.5 to 3.0, preferably [(mass% CaO) + (mass% MgO)] / (mass% Al 2) The addition amounts of the CaO-containing substance, the MgO-containing substance, the metal Al, the Al 2 O 3 -containing substance, and the SiO 2 -containing substance are determined so that O 3 ) = 1.8 to 2.5.

この場合、生成されるスラグの(質量%MgO)/(質量%CaO)が0.10以下になるようにそれぞれの添加量を定めることがより好ましい。そして、これらの物質を、定めた添加量だけ取鍋内に添加する。金属Alは添加した全量がAl23になるわけではなく、溶鋼中にも溶解して残る。従って、予め試験によって溶鋼に溶解する溶解Al分とスラグ中のAl23になる分との比率を求めておき、それに基づき金属Alの添加量を設定する。CaF2は添加しない。In this case, it is more preferable to set each addition amount so that (mass% MgO) / (mass% CaO) of the slag produced | generated will be 0.10 or less. Then, these substances are added to the ladle by a predetermined addition amount. The total amount of metal Al added is not necessarily Al 2 O 3 and remains dissolved in molten steel. Therefore, the ratio of the dissolved Al content to be dissolved in the molten steel to the content to be Al 2 O 3 in the slag is determined in advance by a test, and the addition amount of metal Al is set based on that. CaF 2 is not added.

なお、本発明において、「脱硫処理後の取鍋内スラグの組成を、CaF2を実質的に含有しない組成に調整する」とは、CaF2等のフッ素化合物をCaOの滓化促進剤として使用しないで脱硫処理後のスラグ組成を調整することを意味し、使用するCaO含有物質やAl23含有物質等に不可避的に混入して持ち来たされるフッ素が脱硫処理後のスラグに存在しても、CaF2を実質的に含有しないスラグと定義する。Incidentally, used in the present invention, "the composition of the ladle slag after the desulfurization treatment is adjusted to a composition containing no CaF 2 substantially" and the fluorine compound such as CaF 2 as a slag formation accelerators CaO It means that the slag composition after desulfurization treatment is adjusted, and the fluorine carried by unavoidable inclusion in the CaO-containing material and the Al 2 O 3 -containing material to be used is present in the slag after desulfurization treatment Even if, it is defined as slag which does not contain CaF 2 substantially.

添加するCaO含有物質としては、生石灰(CaO)、石灰石(CaCO3)、消石灰(Ca(OH)2)、ドロマイト(MgCO3−CaCO3)、焼成ドロマイト(MgO−CaO)等を使用し、MgO含有物質としては、マグネシアクリンカー(MgO)、ドロマイト(MgCO3−CaCO3)、焼成ドロマイト(MgO−CaO)等を使用する。Examples of CaO-containing substances to be added include quick lime (CaO), limestone (CaCO 3 ), slaked lime (Ca (OH) 2 ), dolomite (MgCO 3 -CaCO 3 ), calcined dolomite (MgO-CaO), etc. As the material to be contained, magnesia clinker (MgO), dolomite (MgCO 3 -CaCO 3 ), calcined dolomite (MgO-CaO) or the like is used.

石灰の粒度は、反応効率及び添加歩留の観点から平均粒径が1〜30mmの範囲内にあることが好ましい。排気系に吸引される量を少なくする観点からは微粉分は少ない方が望ましく、平均粒径30mm以上の石灰は少ないことが好ましい。平均粒径の測定方法は以下の通りである。脱硫剤を1kg採取し、500μm以下、500μm〜1mm、1〜5mm、5〜10mm、10〜15mm、15〜20mm、20〜25mm、25〜30mm、30mm以上の9段階に篩い分けし、平均粒径を重量比率で計算することとし、以下に示す数式(4)により求めた。   The particle size of lime is preferably in the range of 1 to 30 mm in average particle size from the viewpoint of reaction efficiency and addition yield. From the viewpoint of reducing the amount sucked into the exhaust system, it is desirable that the amount of fine powder be small, and it is preferable that the amount of lime having an average particle diameter of 30 mm or more be small. The measuring method of average particle diameter is as follows. 1 kg of the desulfurizing agent is collected and sieved in 9 steps of 500 μm or less, 500 μm to 1 mm, 1 to 5 mm, 5 to 10 mm, 10 to 15 mm, 15 to 20 mm, 20 to 25 mm, 25 to 30 mm, 30 mm or more The diameter was calculated using a weight ratio, and was obtained by the following equation (4).

Figure 2018135344
Figure 2018135344

Al23含有物質としては、アルミドロス(金属Alを20〜70質量%含有、残部の主成分はAl23)、ボーキサイト(Al23・2H2O)、仮焼アルミナ(Al23)等を使用する。アルミドロスは金属Alの代替にもなる。SiO2含有物質としては、珪砂(SiO2)、珪灰石(CaO−SiO2)等を使用する。この場合、取鍋内に流出した転炉スラグの質量が多い場合には、SiO2含有物質の添加を必要としないことも起こり得る。また、MgO含有物質は、MgO含有物質を添加しなくても、スラグ組成が[(質量%CaO)+(質量%MgO)]/(質量%Al23)=1.5〜3.0の範囲内、好ましくは1.8〜2.5の範囲内となるならば添加しなくてもよい。As an Al 2 O 3 containing material, aluminum dross (containing 20 to 70% by mass of metal Al, the main component of the remainder is Al 2 O 3 ), bauxite (Al 2 O 3 · 2H 2 O), calcined alumina (Al) 2 Use O 3 ) etc. Aluminum dross is also an alternative to metal Al. As the SiO 2 -containing substance, silica sand (SiO 2 ), wollastonite (CaO-SiO 2 ) or the like is used. In this case, if the mass of the converter slag flowing out into the ladle is large, it may happen that the addition of the SiO 2 -containing material is not necessary. In addition, even if the MgO-containing substance does not contain the MgO-containing substance, the slag composition is [(mass% CaO) + (mass% MgO)] / (mass% Al 2 O 3 ) = 1.5 to 3.0. If it is within the range of, preferably within the range of 1.8 to 2.5, it may not be added.

次いで、溶鋼を収容した取鍋をASEA−SKF法、VAD法、及びLF法のうちのいずれかの方法によって脱硫処理を実施する設備に搬送し、溶鋼の脱硫処理を実施する。本発明では、脱硫処理をLF設備で実施する場合を例として説明する。図1は、本発明を実施する際に用いたLF設備の側面概略図である。図1において、符号1はLF設備、符号2は取鍋、符号3は昇降式の蓋、符号4はアーク加熱用の電極、符号5,6は浸漬ランス、符号7,8は底吹きポーラス煉瓦、符号9は溶鋼、符号10はスラグ、符号11は原材料投入シュート、符号12はArガス導入管を示す。   Next, the ladle containing the molten steel is transported to a facility for performing the desulfurization treatment by any of the ASEA-SKF method, the VAD method, and the LF method, and the molten steel is desulfurized. In the present invention, the case where the desulfurization treatment is performed by the LF equipment will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of the LF equipment used in practicing the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is LF equipment, 2 is a ladle, 3 is a lift lid, 4 is an electrode for arc heating, 5 and 6 is an immersion lance, and 7 and 8 are bottom-blown porous bricks The reference numeral 9 denotes molten steel, the reference numeral 10 denotes a slag, the reference numeral 11 denotes a raw material introduction chute, and the reference numeral 12 denotes an Ar gas introduction pipe.

このLF設備1では、走行台車(図示せず)に積載された、溶鋼9を収容する取鍋2を蓋3の直下の所定位置に配置し、蓋3を下降させて取鍋2の上端部に密着させ、その状態でArガス導入管12からArガスを供給して取鍋2と蓋3とで囲まれる空間をArガス雰囲気とする。取鍋2内の酸素濃度が15%以下となるように炉蓋の周囲に取り付けた配管からArガスを吹き込むことが好ましい。取鍋2内の酸素濃度を低減させることにより、LF処理中に空気中の酸素と反応してロスするAl量を減らすことができる。取鍋2から吹き込むArガスの流量は、πL2/4Qの値が50〜150(m/min)の範囲内となる流量とすることが好ましく、より好ましくは、70〜100(m/min)の範囲内となる流量である。ここで、Lは取鍋の直径(m)、QはArガス流量(Nm3/min)である。Arガスの流量が少ないと十分に酸素濃度が低下せず、逆にArガスの流量が多すぎると溶鋼温度が低下する原因となる。In the LF equipment 1, the ladle 2 containing the molten steel 9 loaded on a traveling carriage (not shown) is disposed at a predetermined position immediately below the lid 3, and the lid 3 is lowered to move the upper end of the ladle 2. In this state, the Ar gas is supplied from the Ar gas introduction pipe 12 to make the space surrounded by the ladle 2 and the lid 3 an Ar gas atmosphere. It is preferable to blow Ar gas from piping attached around the furnace lid so that the oxygen concentration in the ladle 2 is 15% or less. By reducing the oxygen concentration in the ladle 2, it is possible to reduce the amount of Al which is lost by reacting with oxygen in air during LF processing. The flow rate of Ar gas blown from the ladle 2 is preferably such that the value of πL 2 / 4Q falls within the range of 50 to 150 (m / min), more preferably 70 to 100 (m / min) The flow rate is within the range of Here, L is the diameter of the ladle (m), and Q is the Ar gas flow rate (Nm 3 / min). If the flow rate of Ar gas is low, the oxygen concentration does not decrease sufficiently, and conversely, if the flow rate of Ar gas is too high, the temperature of the molten steel decreases.

取鍋2内にCaO含有物質、MgO含有物質、金属Al、Al23含有物質、及びSiO2含有物質が予め添加されていない場合、及び、これらの物質の添加量が不足する場合には、この状態で原材料投入シュート11を介して取鍋2内にこれらの物質のフラックス及び金属Alを投入する。金属Alは開始10分以内に以下に示す数式(5)を満たすように添加することが好ましい。すなわち、転炉出鋼後のAl濃度に応じて金属Alを添加し、溶鋼中のAl濃度を高めることが脱硫処理を促進させる上で好ましい。When the CaO-containing substance, the MgO-containing substance, the metal Al, the Al 2 O 3 -containing substance, and the SiO 2 -containing substance are not added in advance in the ladle 2, and when the addition amount of these substances is insufficient In this state, the flux of these substances and metal Al are introduced into the ladle 2 through the raw material input chute 11. It is preferable to add metal Al so as to satisfy the following formula (5) within 10 minutes of the start. That is, it is preferable to add metal Al in accordance with the Al concentration after converter steel removal to increase the Al concentration in the molten steel in order to accelerate the desulfurization treatment.

次いで、必要に応じて電極4に通電してアークを発生させ、溶鋼9を加熱すると共に添加したフラックスを滓化させた後、溶鋼9に浸漬ランス5又は浸漬ランス6を浸漬させ、浸漬ランス5、浸漬ランス6、又は、底吹きポーラス煉瓦7,8のうちの少なくとも一箇所から溶鋼9に攪拌用ガスとしてのArガスを吹き込み、溶鋼9を攪拌する。溶鋼9を攪拌することによってフラックスが溶鋼9と混合され、フラックスの滓化が進行してスラグ10が生成される。   Next, if necessary, the electrode 4 is energized to generate an arc to heat the molten steel 9 and heat the added flux, and then the immersion lance 5 or 6 is immersed in the molten steel 9 to immerse the immersion lance 5 Ar gas as a stirring gas is blown into the molten steel 9 from at least one of the immersion lance 6 or the bottom-blown porous bricks 7 and 8 to stir the molten steel 9. By stirring the molten steel 9, the flux is mixed with the molten steel 9, and the hardening of the flux proceeds to generate the slag 10.

生成したスラグ10は、溶鋼9の攪拌によって溶鋼9と攪拌・混合され、溶鋼9とスラグ10との間でスラグ−メタル間反応が発生し、溶鋼9中の硫黄成分がスラグ中に移行する脱硫反応が発生する。この場合、脱硫反応を促進させる観点から、前述したように、浸漬ランス5,6からArガスと共に、Ca合金粉、金属Mg粉、及びMg合金粉のうちのいずれか1種又は2種以上を溶鋼9中に吹き込むこと、或いは、脱硫処理の少なくとも一時期において、浸漬ランス5,6からの攪拌用ガスの吹き込みと底吹きポーラス煉瓦7,8からの攪拌用ガスの吹き込みとを同時に行うことが好ましい。   The formed slag 10 is stirred and mixed with the molten steel 9 by the stirring of the molten steel 9, a slag-metal reaction occurs between the molten steel 9 and the slag 10, and the sulfur component in the molten steel 9 is transferred into the slag A reaction occurs. In this case, from the viewpoint of promoting the desulfurization reaction, as described above, any one or more of Ca alloy powder, metal Mg powder, and Mg alloy powder may be used together with Ar gas from immersion lances 5 and 6. It is preferable to simultaneously blow the stirring gas from the immersion lances 5 and 6 and the blowing of the stirring gas from the bottom-blown porous bricks 7 and 8 at least at one time of desulfurization treatment, or blowing into the molten steel 9 at the same time. .

Ca合金粉としては、Ca−Si合金粉やCa−Al合金粉等を使用し、Mg合金粉としては、Mg−Al−Zn合金粉やMg−Si−Fe合金粉等を使用する。これら金属粉の粒径は、吹き込み添加が可能である限り特定する必要はないが、反応界面積を確保する観点から最大粒径を1mm以下とすることが好ましい。溶鋼9の硫黄濃度が0.0010質量%以下になったなら、溶鋼9へのArガスの吹き込みを停止して脱硫処理を終了する。脱硫処理が終了した時点で溶鋼9の温度が目標温度よりも低い場合、アーク加熱を実施し、また、溶鋼9の成分が目標範囲内にない場合には、原材料投入シュート11を介して成分調整用の合金鉄や金属を投入する。脱硫処理終了後は、必要に応じてRH真空脱ガス装置等で脱ガス精錬を実施した後、連続鋳造機でスラブ鋳片に鋳造する。   As the Ca alloy powder, a Ca-Si alloy powder, a Ca-Al alloy powder or the like is used, and as the Mg alloy powder, a Mg-Al-Zn alloy powder, a Mg-Si-Fe alloy powder or the like is used. Although it is not necessary to specify the particle size of these metal powders as long as blowing addition is possible, it is preferable to set the maximum particle size to 1 mm or less from the viewpoint of securing the reaction interface area. When the sulfur concentration of the molten steel 9 becomes 0.0010 mass% or less, the blowing of Ar gas into the molten steel 9 is stopped to complete the desulfurization treatment. If the temperature of the molten steel 9 is lower than the target temperature at the end of the desulfurization processing, arc heating is performed, and if the component of the molten steel 9 is not within the target range, component adjustment via the raw material input chute 11 Add alloy irons and metals for After completion of the desulfurization treatment, if necessary, degassing refining is carried out with an RH vacuum degassing apparatus or the like, and then cast into slab slabs with a continuous casting machine.

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、CaO含有物質を脱硫剤の主たる構成物質として用いた取鍋精錬法による溶鋼9の脱硫処理において、脱硫処理後のスラグ組成を、SiO2の含有量が5〜15質量%の範囲内になるように調整するので、SiO2がCaOの滓化促進剤として機能してCaOの滓化が促進され、また、脱硫処理後のスラグ組成を、[(質量%CaO)+(質量%MgO)]/(質量%Al23)が1.5〜3.0の範囲内になるように調整するので、スラグ10には高い脱硫能力が確保され、その結果、CaF2を脱硫剤の一部として使用しなくても、また、脱硫剤がプリメルトフラックスでなくても、効率的に溶鋼9の脱硫処理を行うことが実現される。なお、上記説明はLF設備で本発明を実施した例であるが、ASEA−SKF設備及びVAD設備においても、上記に準じて本発明を適用することができる。As described above, according to the present invention, in the desulfurization treatment of the molten steel 9 by the ladle refining method using the CaO-containing material as the main constituent material of the desulfurization agent, the slag composition after the desulfurization treatment is the content of SiO 2 Is adjusted to be in the range of 5 to 15% by mass, so that SiO 2 functions as an anchorage accelerator for CaO to promote the anchorage of CaO, and the slag composition after desulfurization treatment is [( Since mass% CaO) + (mass% MgO)] / (mass% Al 2 O 3 ) is adjusted to be in the range of 1.5 to 3.0, the slag 10 has a high desulfurization ability, As a result, even if CaF 2 is not used as a part of the desulfurizing agent, and even if the desulfurizing agent is not a premelt flux, it is realized that the molten steel 9 is desulfurized efficiently. The above description is an example in which the present invention is carried out with an LF equipment, but the present invention can be applied according to the above also with an ASEA-SKF equipment and a VAD equipment.

Moreover, the desulfurization evaluation indicates that “o” indicates that the sulfur concentration in the molten steel after the desulfurization treatment is 0.0024% or less, and “x” indicates that the sulfur concentration in the molten steel after the desulfurization treatment is It shows that it was over 0.0024%.

In the comparative example (test numbers 1 to 3) in which the sum of the volume of pores whose pore diameter is in the range of 0.5 to 10 μm is not appropriate, the desulfurization rate is compared with the invention examples (test numbers 4 to 15) Was low. Moreover, in the example of this invention, when the average particle diameter of quick lime is in the range of 1 to 30 mm, the hardening is promoted and the desulfurization rate of the molten steel is also high.

After steel tapping, the converter slag that had flowed into the ladle was not vacuum-sintered, and the ladle to which metal Al, quick lime, light-burning dolomite, and aluminum dross were added was conveyed to the LF equipment shown in FIG. In the LF treatment, quick lime with a total pore volume of 0.2 mL / g and a particle size of 20 mm or less was used.

以下に示す表3に各脱硫試験における脱硫処理前後の溶鋼中硫黄濃度(化学分析値)及び脱硫率を示す。ここで、[sol.Al]1が溶製対象鋼種のAl濃度規格上限値(質量%)、[sol.Al]2が転炉出鋼後の溶鋼中Al濃度(質量%)である。なお、脱硫評価が「○」とは、脱硫処理後の溶鋼中硫黄濃度が0.0024%以下であったことを示している。Table 3 below shows the sulfur concentration (chemical analysis value) in the molten steel and the desulfurization ratio before and after the desulfurization treatment in each desulfurization test. Here, [sol. Al] 1 is the upper limit of Al concentration specification (mass%) of the target steel type to be melted and [sol. Al] 2 is the Al concentration (mass%) in the molten steel after the converter is discharged. In addition, desulfurization evaluation has shown that the sulfur concentration in the molten steel after a desulfurization process was 0.0024% or less with "(circle)".

表3に示すように、LF処理開始10分以内に投入したAl量が上記数式(5)の範囲内にある水準では、LF処理終了時点の[sol.Al]3値が規格の範囲内であり、脱硫率も高位であった。一方、LF処理開始10分以内に投入したAl量が上記数式(5)に示す範囲よりも多かった水準では、LF処理終了時点の[sol.Al] 3値が規格上限値を上回っており、次工程のRHでの脱Al処理の必要が生じてしまい、RHの処理時間が延長した。As shown in Table 3, at the level where the amount of Al introduced within 10 minutes of the LF processing start is within the range of the above equation (5), the [sol.Al] 3 value at the end of the LF processing is within the standard range. And the desulfurization rate was also high. On the other hand, at the level where the amount of Al injected within 10 minutes after the start of LF processing was larger than the range shown in the above equation (5), the [sol.Al] 3 value at the end of LF processing exceeds the standard upper limit value, The need for de-Al treatment in the next step RH occurred, and the treatment time of RH was extended.

[実施例5]
高炉から出銑された溶銑に対して脱珪処理、脱硫処理、及び脱燐処理を行った後、溶銑を転炉に装入して脱炭精錬を実施し、炭素濃度が0.05〜0.09質量%の範囲内、硫黄濃度が0.0041〜0.0044質量%の範囲内、燐濃度が0.004〜0.010質量%の範囲内の約250tの溶鋼を得た。出鋼後、取鍋へ流出した転炉スラグを徐滓せず、金属Al、生石灰、軽焼ドロマイト、及びアルミドロスの添加された取鍋を図1に示すLF設備に搬送した。LF処理では、細孔直径が0.5〜10μmの範囲内にある細孔の容積の和が0.2mL/g、粒径が20mm以下である生石灰を用い、LF処理開始から10分以内に上記数式(5)を満たすように、金属Alを添加した。
[Example 5]
After desiliconizing treatment, desulfurizing treatment and dephosphorizing treatment to the hot metal discharged from the blast furnace, the hot metal is charged into the converter to carry out decarburizing and refining, and the carbon concentration is 0.05 to 0. About 250t of molten steel was obtained in the range of .09 mass%, the sulfur concentration in the range of 0.0041 to 0.0044 mass%, and the phosphorus concentration in the range of 0.004 to 0.010 mass%. After steel tapping, the converter slag that had flowed into the ladle was not vacuum-sintered, and the ladle to which metal Al, quick lime, light-burning dolomite, and aluminum dross were added was conveyed to the LF equipment shown in FIG. In the LF process, using the quick lime with the sum of the volume of pores with a pore diameter in the range of 0.5 to 10 μm of 0.2 mL / g and the particle size of 20 mm or less, within 10 minutes from the start of the LF process Metal Al was added to satisfy the above formula (5).
