Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a technique for preventing reoxidation of reduced iron, for example, produced by a direct reduction process, during storage and transportation, and a technique for melting reduced iron efficiently.
  • Reduced iron (sponge iron) produced by a direct reduction process has numerous open pores formed in the direct reducing process, and when the reduced iron is exposed in the air for a long period of time, the inner surfaces of the open pores are easily oxidized (reoxidized). If such reoxidized reduced iron is melted as feed material to melting process, a slag with a high iron oxide content is formed on the surface of the molten iron, thus decreasing the yield of iron. Additionally, when the sponge iron having numerous open pores is used, boiling may occur during melting, or the carbon content in the molten iron may become unstable because a portion of carbon is consumed by the reduction of iron oxides in the reduced iron and in the slag. Moreover, if the iron oxide content in the slag is increased, the viscosity of the slag is decreased, and the loss of the refractory lining of the melting furnace is increased.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 50-116343 discloses a method in which the surface of reduced iron is treated with a medium containing an appropriate amount of oxygen to form a passive film composed of dense oxides on the surface of the reduced iron
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 52-107248 discloses a method for preventing oxidation by applying a dispersion liquid, in which graphite is diluted with an alcohol or water, to the surface of reduced iron

  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 58-71315 discloses a method for preventing ignition or heating up by controlling the discharging temperature after reduction
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication Nos. 59-170213, 52-78610, etc. disclose methods in which reduced iron is processed by hot press molding (hot briquetting) using dies to decrease its specific surface areas, and thereby oxidation is prevented
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 55-119116 discloses a method for preventing oxidation by continuous rolling.
  • inorganic oxides such as CaO, calcined lime, cement, water glass, and graphite
  • rigid oxidation-preventing films are formed using the hydration reactions and also iron is prevented from being oxidized by maintaining the alkaline environment.
  • water glass is highly hygroscopic and is neutralized by reaction with carbon dioxide in the air, the effect thereof does not substantially last long.
  • the graphite film is electrically conductive, even when reduced iron is melted in an electric furnace, melting operation can be performed without any problems.
  • the inorganic films other than the graphite film since the films are nonconductive, the melting reaction of the reduced iron is significantly hampered, resulting in a decrease in the melting efficiency.
  • the applicant of the present invention has disclosed a method for coating reduced iron with an organic film-forming material, such as pitch, asphalt, coal tar, liquefied coal, or coal residual oil (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-260172).
  • an organic film-forming material such as pitch, asphalt, coal tar, liquefied coal, or coal residual oil
  • the organic film-forming material usually must be dissolved or dispersed in an appropriate solvent to decrease the viscosity, and then the surface of the reduced iron is coated by an immersion method, a spray method, or the like, followed by drying under reduced pressure or drying by heating to remove the solvent. Since these materials still have high viscosities even if dissolved in solvents, it is not possible to form a completely homogeneous film on the surface of the reduced iron, and thus it is not possible to prevent reoxidation sufficiently. Moreover, the solvents to be used are expensive, and for safety purpose, recovery facilities to recover the volatized solvents must be installed, resulting in an increase in the cost of equipment.
  • the surface of the reduced iron is coated with a tar emulsion.
  • the aforementioned tar emulsion contains at least one hydrocarbon-based material selected from the group consisting of natural petroleum tar, coal tar, pitch, asphalt, liquefied coal, and residual oil from petroleum refining; a surfactant; and water.
  • the aforementioned tar emulsion contains 60 to 80 percent by mass of the hydrocarbon-based material, 0.1 to 1 percent by mass of the surfactant, and the balance being substantially water.
  • a method for making surface-coated reduced iron includes the step of coating the surface of the reduced iron with a tar emulsion.

  • the aforementioned tar emulsion contains 60 to 80 percent by mass of the hydrocarbon-based material, 0.1 to 1 percent by mass of the surfactant, and the balance being substantially water.
  • the reduced iron is produced by reduction with a gaseous reductant containing hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide or a solid reductant containing a carbonaceous material.
  • the coating step is performed by controlling the temperature of the reduced iron at 250° C. or less.
  • the method in a method for melting the surface-coated reduced iron including surface-coated reduced iron in the form of powder and/or chips in a smelting furnace to produce molten iron, the surface of the reduced iron being coated with a tar emulsion, includes the step of injecting the surface-coated reduced iron in the form of powder and/or chips into a molten iron bath formed in the smelting furnace and/or into a slag formed on the molten iron bath.
  • the injecting step is performed using a gaseous medium.
  • the present invention is characterized by that in order to prevent the oxidation of reduced iron, the surface thereof is coated with a tar emulsion (emulsified tar).
  • a tar emulsion emulsified tar
  • the tar emulsion is produced by adding a small amount of the surfactant and an appropriate amount of water to the hydrocarbon-based material, such as natural petroleum tar, coal tar, pitch, asphalt, liquefied coal, and residual oil from petroleum refining, followed by suspending (emulsifying) the hydrocarbon-based material.
  • the viscosity of the tar emulsion is significantly lower than the viscosity of the hydrocarbon-based material itself. Therefore, the tar emulsion forms homogeneous and flawless protective films even if the film thickness is smaller compared to the graphite and other inorganic films described above.
  • the tar emulsion enters the numerous open pores of spongy reduced iron or the like and forms films on the inner surfaces of the open pores, thereby effectively preventing the surface oxidation of the reduced iron.
  • the organic film-forming material described above When the organic film-forming material described above is used, the material must be dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to decrease the viscosity.

  • the reduced iron to be coated with the tar emulsion is not particularly limited to its production process.
  • the reduced iron may be produced by being reduced by a gaseous reductant containing hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide in a shaft reduction furnace, a fixed bed reduction furnace, a fluidized bed reduction furnace, or the like.
  • the reduced iron may be produced by being reduced by a solid reductant containing a carbonaceous material in a rotary hearth reduction furnace, a rotary kiln reduction furnace, or the like.
  • the form and/or shape of the reduced iron are not particularly limited.
  • the reduced iron may be in the form of pellets, lumps, sheets, and the like, as it is reduced, or may be in the form of briquettes formed by hot pressing (hot briquetting) after reduction, or may be in the form of powder and chips generated by handling during or after reduction. A mixture of two or more of these forms may be acceptable.
  • the tar emulsion has a sufficiently low viscosity at ambient temperatures and can be thinly and homogeneously applied to the surface of the reduced iron as it is, any conventional method may be applied to coat the surface of the reduced iron with the tar emulsion.
  • the reduced iron may be immersed in the tar emulsion, or the reduced iron may be sprayed with the tar emulsion.
  • the water in the tar emulsion may be removed by drying by heating (with heat), solar drying, or the like, as desired.
  • the temperature of the reduced iron is controlled, preferably, at 250° C. or less, and more preferably, between 100 and 250° C.
  • the temperature of the reduced iron is controlled, preferably, at 250° C. or less, and more preferably, between 100 and 250° C.
  • the reduced iron is coated with the tar emulsion
  • the water in the tar emulsion is entirely or partially removed by vaporization, and thereby drying by heating (with heat), solar drying, or the like is not necessary after coating, or the time of drying is shortened.

  • the amount of hydrocarbon-based material to be deposited is generally in the range of 0.01 to 10 percent by mass of the reduced iron, and more generally, in the range of 0.1 to 5 percent by mass. That is, if the amount of coating is insufficient, the function as the oxidation-preventing film is not exhibited sufficiently, and when the amount of coating is excessive, the oxidation-preventing effect is not increased, resulting in heat loss in the step of melting the reduced iron or the large amount of pyrolytic gas generation.
  • the film of the hydrocarbon-based materials is easily pyrolyzed and the carbon residue contributes to the reduction of the residual iron oxides in the reduced iron and to the carburization of the molten iron.
  • the pyrolytic gas generated is removed to exhaust gas, thus not adversely affecting the composition of the molten iron. Since the film is electrically conductive, melting with an electric furnace or the like is not adversely affected.

  • step 3 the reduced iron A, in the form of pellets or the like as produced or in the form of briquettes, is cooled to 250° C. or less by injection of inert gas, indirect water cooling, direct water spraying, or the like.
  • reduced iron in the form of powder may be produced using a fluidized bed controlling furnace (not shown in the drawing) instead of the shaft controlling furnace 1 a or the rotary hearth controlling furnace 1 b , and the reduced iron in the form of powder may be formed into briquettes by hot pressing (hot briquetting) in step 2 .
