  • the hot metal desulfurizing treatment for which desulfurization slag is reused is not limited but refers to a commonly executed one.
  • desulfurization slag can also be reused for the same process that results in the desulfurization slag. Accordingly, the method of the present invention is effective even in steel manufacturing facilities provided with only hot metal desulfurizing treatment processes that use the same addition method and agitation method. The present invention allows desulfurization slag to be particularly efficiently and effectively recycled if the recycling operation is applied to the KR method.
  • desulfurization slag resulting from the KR method contains coarse grains and thus requires only a simple pretreatment for recycling, thereby reducing recycling treatment costs. Further, in most cases, unreacted lime grains are aggregated and can thus be recycled without using any additional special methods of crushing material or adjusting grain size.
  • the KR method accomplishes a high reaction efficiency during recycling.
  • the surface of an unreacted lime component can be used directly for reaction for recycling, and is expected to achieve a reaction efficiency equivalent to that attained using fresh lime. If KR slag is recycled, it can be desulfurized with the amount of lime component added per unit amount of hot metal, unreacted. In contrast, with injection slag, a complicated pretreatment is required, or the use of a simple pretreatment requires at least double the amount of lime component.
  • KR slag reduces the treatment time (down to the same amount as that required for a fresh agent) and effectively reduces the amount of slag generated.
  • the KR slag serves to reduce the amount of slag generated, for example, by 50% after one recycling process and to allow recycling to be carried out a number of times.
  • an effective lime component takes up only about 55% of the recovered desulfurizing agent, so that a supplementary desulfurizing agent must be added, as described in the previously described document (Sumitomo Metals Vol. 45-3 (1993) p.52 to 58).
  • the amount of recovered desulfurizing agent used is 14 kg/t (about 50% of lime), and the amount of effective lime component in the added recovered desulfurizing agent is similar to that observed if fresh lime is added.
  • FIG. 18 shows a summary of the above relationships. If desulfurization slag resulting from the KR method, an example of the present invention, is reused as a desulfurizing agent for the KR method, about 7% of the lime component added for one treatment is used for desulfurization. Effective utilization rate increases consistently with the number of times that the desulfurizing agent is used. In contrast, if desulfurization slag resulting from the injection method, a conventional technique for desulfurization slag recycling, is reused as a desulfurizing agent for the KR method, the total utilization efficiency only slightly exceeds the utilization efficiency accomplished by one KR process.
  • FIG. 22 schematically showing differences between hot metal desulfurization slag resulting from the mechanical agitation type method and hot metal desulfurization slag resulting from the injection method.
  • FIG. 22 shows how an aggregate of desulfurization slag grains resulting from the mechanical agitation type hot metal desulfurizing treatment is separated into pieces to create new surfaces and how each grain of aggregate of desulfurization slag grains resulting from the injection method is crushed into pieces.
  • the desulfurization slag grains resulting from the injection method have substantially the same grain size as the desulfurization slag grains resulting from the mechanical agitation type hot metal desulfurizing treatment. However, the desulfurization slag grains resulting from the injection method are actually finer.
  • FIG. 17A shows a slag treatment pattern performed by a plant test
  • FIG. 17B shows an example of the slag treatment pattern in FIG. 17A together with a conventional slag treatment pattern.
  • an arbitrary method is used to create new surfaces in desulfurization slag resulting from a desulfurizing step, and the slag obtained is reused as a desulfurizing agent.
  • an unreacted lime component must be exposed as a desulfurization reacting surface so that the slag can be used as a desulfurizing agent for the next process.
  • the method used to achieve this is not limited. If a natural cooling process or a watering and cooling process is executed to create new surfaces, CaCO 3 and Ca(OH) 2 are generated. The residual CaCO 3 and Ca(OH) 2 do not hinder desulfurization reaction, but an appropriate amount of these components are expected to serve to improve this reaction.
  • a metal component of a larger diameter can be removed by magnetic separation or screening, so that a recovered desulfurizing agent is mainly composed of a lime component. Furthermore, the grain size of this recovered desulfurizing agent is restricted by a supply apparatus in a desulfurizing facility where the agent is used. Accordingly, no problems occur provided that an appropriate grain size is used. On the other hand, residual metal of a smaller diameter may remain in the recovered desulfurizing agent. However, this metal can be reused as an iron source for the subsequent hot metal pretreatment step, thereby significantly contributing to increasing the yield of iron. Various specific examples will be illustrated below.
  • desulfurization slag resulting from a desulfurizing step is simultaneously cooled and crushed using a watering treatment, and is then dried and reused as a desulfurizing agent.
  • a watering facility is used to excessively water hot slag resulting from the desulfurizing process until the slag is fully impregnated with water.
  • a drying apparatus is used to completely dry this water-containing slag to obtain a desulfurizing agent having a reduced grain size of 100 mm or smaller.
  • the maximum grain size is preferably substantially 30 mm or smaller and more preferably 5 mm or smaller.
  • a mechanical crushing operation may be performed before or after the watering and drying steps.
  • an apparatus used for drying may be a dryer, or a rotary kiln or the like may be used to perform a large-scale drying operation.
  • the size of the apparatus and the like can be set depending on a required throughput or the like. Any apparatus and method may be used provided that water impregnated into the cooled slag can be sufficiently removed. The thus recycled desulfurization slag is used as a desulfurizing agent.
  • desulfurization slag resulting from the desulfurizing step is simultaneously cooled and crushed using an appropriate watering and agitating treatment, and is then reused as a desulfurizing agent. That is, a watering facility is used to uniformly water hot slag resulting from the desulfurizing treatment, while using heavy equipment such as a shovel to agitate the slag. Specifically, a watering operation is performed until the hot slag is cooled down to a temperature of about 100° C. The slag is then left cooled to obtain a desulfurizing agent of a reduced grain size of about 100 mm or smaller.
  • the maximum grain size is preferably substantially 30 mm or smaller and more preferably 5 mm or smaller.
  • a mechanical crushing operation may be performed before or after the watering step.
  • the cooling target temperature is not limited to a particular value, but may be set depending on the required throughput or the like.
  • An appropriate amount of water supplied and agitation reduces the time required to cool the slag.
  • the watering operation is desirably stopped before the temperature reaches 100° C.
  • the agitation is carried out in order to increase cooling speed and make the watering uniform, so that its frequency may be varied depending on the required treatment time or throughput. The agitation may be omitted.
  • desulfurization slag resulting from the desulfurizing step is simultaneously cooled and crushed by executing natural cooling.
  • the resultant slag is reused as a desulfurizing agent. That is, hot slag resulting from the desulfurizing step is left as it is so as to maximize the area of that part of the slag which contacts with air.
  • the slag is then agitated using heavy equipment such as a shovel.

  • the inventors note that since desulfurization slag is hot immediately after being produced, most of the slag pieces are massive. That is, a large amount of dust generated can be prevented by properly handling the desulfurization slag, e.g. screening it while it is hot after being generated. A higher temperature is more advantageous to suppression of dust. Slag was actually dropped from a drop height of 3 m with its temperature varied, and the amount of dust generated was measured. Then, it was found that the amount of dust increases rapidly at a temperature of 600° C. Further, in connection with an incidental effect of screening at high temperature, by exposing desulfurization slag to the atmosphere at high temperature, the desulfurization slag can be cooled rapidly and thus powdered. This reduces the subsequent cooling load.

Consequently, the amount of slag may increase to degrade the quality of operations or the environment. Therefore, the amount of C source added to the desulfurizing agent is desirably 30 wt % or less. Further, the C source used may contain a sulfur component, so that the concentration of S in the hot metal may increase depending on the amount of C source added.

It has been found that the amount of pure CaO component has a clear correlationship with the amount of material desulfurized. This nature can be utilized to easily determine the amount of desulfurizing agent introduced depending on the amount of sulfur before treatment (S), thereby achieving a stable desulfurization rate.
  • FIG. 15 shows the relationship between the bulk density and the CaO mass %. This figure indicates that the bulk density decreases with increasing amount of CaO. This tendency can be utilized to estimate the CaO mass % of the recovered desulfurizing agent by measuring the bulk density thereof.
  • Desulfurization slag resulting from a desulfurizing step was cooled and crushed by a natural cooling or watering treatment to obtain a desulfurizing agent (hereinafter referred to as a “recovered desulfurizing agent”).
  • a desulfurizing agent hereinafter referred to as a “recovered desulfurizing agent”.
  • One or more of the above-described desulfurizing agents were added to the recovered desulfurizing agent, which was then used as a desulfurizing agent according to this example. In a comparative example, only the recovered desulfurizing agent was used.
  • Table 18 shows the amount of recovered desulfurizing agent added, the types of desulfurizing agents, and the amounts of desulfurizing agents added.
  • FIG. 19 shows the relationship between the amount of lime component added per unit amount of hot metal and the desulfurization rate at each desulfurization level. This figure indicates that with an equal amount of lime added per unit amount of hot metal, the use of the (d) recovered desulfurizing agent+lime slightly increases the desulfurization rate compared to the use of (a) only the recovered desulfurizing agent.
  • the FIG. 19 shows the relationship between the amount of lime component added per unit amount of hot metal and the desulfurization rate at each desulfurization level. This figure indicates that with an equal amount of lime added per unit amount of hot metal, the use of the (d) recovered desulfurizing agent+lime slightly increases the desulfurization rate compared to the use of (a) only the recovered desulfurizing agent.
  • Table 20 shows the ratio of CaO to the recovered desulfurizing agent, the amount of recovered desulfurizing agent added, the types of desulfurizing agents, the amounts of desulfurizing agents added, and the total amount of desulfurizing agents which are measured if 8 kg-CaO/T of lime component is contained in the desulfurizing agents of the compositions used in this example. If each desulfurizing agent requires the same amount of lime component, when only the recovered desulfurizing agent is used, a large amount of desulfurizing agent is required if the recovered desulfurizing agent contains only a small amount of pure lime component. However, addition of lime and calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide improves the desulfurization slag rate and reduces the amount of desulfurizing agent used.
  • compositions of the desulfurizing agents can be freely adjusted according to the state of the hot metal to be treated or the required treatment conditions. Moreover, similar effects are produced even if these desulfurizing agents are separately added to the hot metal instead of being mixed together.
  • Desulfurization slag resulting from a desulfurizing step was cooled and crushed by a natural cooling or watering treatment to obtain a desulfurizing agent (hereinafter referred to as a “recovered desulfurizing agent”).
  • Various C sources were added to the recovered desulfurizing agent, which was then used as a desulfurizing agent according to this example.
  • Table 21 shows the amount of recovered desulfurizing agent added, the types of desulfurizing agents, and the amounts of desulfurizing agents added.
  • the C sources were composed of powders of grain size 1 mm or smaller.
  • FIG. 20 shows the relationship between the amount of lime component added per unit amount of hot metal and the desulfurization rate at each desulfurization level. This figure indicates that with an equal amount of lime added per unit amount of hot metal, the use of the (d) to (d) recovered desulfurizing agent+C source increases the desulfurization rate linearly with the amount of C source added, compared to the use of (a) only the recovered desulfurizing agent. It has also been confirmed that equivalent effects are produced regardless of the type of the C source or the method of adding the C source. This is assumed to be because the C source acts as a reducing agent during the desulfurizing step to improve the desulfurization rate, as previously described. Further, part of the C source dissolved in the hot metal to increase the concentration of C in the hot metal by 0.1 to 0.5% in each case under the conditions of this example.
  • the desulfurization rate can be improved while reducing the amount of slag discharged after the treatment.
  • a C source such as anthracite or coke
  • Any C source may be used, such as coal, coke, pitch coke, or plastic.
  • the compositions of the desulfurizing agents can be freely adjusted according to the state of the hot metal to be treated or the required treatment conditions. Moreover, similar effects are produced even if these desulfurizing agents are separately added to the hot metal instead of being mixed together.
  • the present invention provides a method of desulfurizing hot metal, which method effectively reuses desulfurization slag resulting from a hot metal desulfurizing treatment in order to reduce the costs of hot metal desulfurization and the amount of slag generated. Further, the present invention provides a desulfurizing agent that allows a hot metal desulfurizing treatment with a reduced amount of slag generated to be inexpensively carried out. The present invention produces significant effects. For example, it reduces desulfurization costs, allows desulfurization slag to be recycled, and reduces the amount of slag to solve environmental problems. Therefore, the present invention has a high industrial value.
