Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of producing metals and metal alloys, in particular although by no means exclusively iron and iron alloys, from metal oxides, such as ores and partly reduced ores, in a metallurgical vessel containing a molten bath.
- a known method of producing molten iron from iron ore is described generally as the HIsmelt Process and is based on forming a bath of molten iron and slag in a smelt reduction vessel which comprises:
- top tuyeres for injecting iron ore, which may be pre-heated and/or partially reduced iron ore, into the molten bath from above the surface of the molten bath;
- top tuyeres for injecting air into the space above the surface of the molten bath to after-burn or post-combust reaction gases, such as CO and H 2 , released from the molten bath.
- the carbonaceous material acts as a reductant and an energy source.
- An important feature of the HIsmelt Process is to form a transition zone in the gas space above the molten bath surface in which there are ascending and thereafter descending droplets or splashes of molten metal and slag which mix with reaction gases from the molten bath, top blown hot air, and the reaction gases from afterburning.
- the purpose of the transition zone is to facilitate the transfer to the molten bath of heat that is released by afterburning reaction gases from the molten bath.
- the transition zone is formed by vigorous bottom injection of carbonaceous material and carrier gas into the molten bath which causes droplets and splashes of molten metal and slag to be projected from the molten bath.
- the invention is also based on the finding that the reactions in metallurgical reaction vessels are increased if fractions of the smelt are ejected from the bath like a fountain through the amount of gas introduced via the under-bath tuyeres and these fractions of the smelt move within the gas space in the form of drops, splashes and large particles of the smelt on ballistic trajectories that are only stopped when the smelt fractions hit the vessel wall or the smelt itself, collide with other smelt fractions or are drawn in by the oxidising gases blown onto the bath in the form of free jets.”
- An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative method of generating a fountain-like transition zone.
- a method of producing metals and metal alloys from metal oxides in a metallurgical vessel containing a molten bath, the molten bath comprising a metal layer and a slag layer on the metal layer the method being characterised by the steps of:
- transition zone is understood herein to mean a zone above the molten bath in which there are ascending and thereafter descending droplets or splashes of molten metal.
- the present invention is based on the realisation that it is possible to form the transition zone of the HIsmelt Process, without loss of performance and with engineering advantages, by injecting carrier gas and carbonaceous material and/or metal oxides and/or other solid material into a molten bath through a section of a side of a metallurgical vessel that contacts the molten bath and/or from above the surface of the molten bath.
- the present invention makes it possible to avoid using bottom injection of carbonaceous material and carrier gas to form the transition zone and the engineering difficulties associated with such bottom injection.
- One engineering difficulty is that the use of bottom tuyeres makes it necessary to mount the metallurgical vessel for rotation about an axis so that the bottom tuyeres can be rotated clear of the molten bath at turn-down.
- bottom tuyeres are eliminated, a much simpler, and more robust, furnace bottom construction is possible.
- step (i) includes injecting carbonaceous material
- injection through a tuyere as proposed is an effective means of achieving the desirable objective of ensuring that carbonaceous material penetrates the molten bath, and in particular the metal layer of the molten bath.
- step (i) comprises injecting the carrier gas and carbonaceous material and/or metal oxides and/or other solid material through the side section of the vessel or from above the surface of the molten bath with sufficient momentum to penetrate the molten bath and cause molten metal to be projected into the space above the molten bath surface to form the transition zone.
- step (i) comprises injecting the carrier gas and carbonaceous material and/or metal oxides and/or other solid material into the molten bath to cause molten metal to be projected into the space above the molten bath surface in a fountain-like manner.
- the carbonaceous material may be any suitable carbonaceous material, in solid, liquid or gaseous form.
- the metal oxides may be in any suitable form.
- the metal oxides may be in the form of ores and/or partly reduced ores.
- the degree of pre-reduction of the ores may range from relatively low (eg to FeO) to relatively high (70-90% metallisation) .
- the metal oxides may be pre-heated.
- the other solid material may be any suitable material, such as, by way of example, fluxes or slag forming agents.
- the carrier gas may be any suitable carrier gas.
- the carrier gas be an oxygen-deficient gas.
- the carrier gas comprise nitrogen.
- the carrier gas may comprise waste process gas released from the vessel which has been used, by way of example, to partially reduce metal oxides that subsequently are transferred to the vessel.
- the oxygen-containing gas may be any suitable gas such as, but not limited to, air or oxygen enriched air.
- the oxygen-containing gas be air. It is preferred particularly that the air be preheated.
- an apparatus for producing metals and metal alloys from metal oxides comprising:
- a metallurgical vessel for containing a molten bath, the vessel having a base, a side wall, a roof, and a gas outlet;
- a first tuyere for injecting an oxygen- containing gas into a space in the vessel above the molten bath
- a second tuyere above the molten bath or in a section of the side of the vessel that is in contact with the molten bath for injecting a carrier gas and solid carbonaceous material and/or metal oxides and/or other solid material into the molten bath to cause molten metal to be projected into a space above the surface of the molten bath to form a transition zone.
- doctore is understood herein to include any means for injecting solids and/or gases into a metallurgical vessel.
- An outlet end of the second tuyere may be positioned above the surface of the molten bath or may be submerged in the molten bath. It is preferred particularly that the second tuyere be positioned to direct the carrier gas and carbonaceous material and/or metal oxides and/or other solid material into the molten bath so that the carrier gas and carbonaceous material and/or metal oxides and/or other solid material can cause molten metal and slag in the molten bath to be projected from the molten bath in a fountain-like manner.
- the tuyeres may be any suitable configuration.
- the tuyeres be water-cooled.
- Figure 1 is a vertical section through one embodiment of a metallurgical vessel in accordance with the present invention for carrying out an embodiment of the method of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a vertical section through another embodiment of a metallurgical vessel in accordance with the present invention for carrying out the embodiment of the method of the present invention.
- each apparatus comprises a metallurgical vessel 3 having a metal shell and a lining of refractory material which is adapted to retain a bath 9 of molten iron and slag.
- Each vessel 3 comprises a bottom 4, a cylindrical side wall 6, a roof 20, and a gas outlet 8.
- the apparatus in Figure 1 comprises a single tuyere 5 in the side wall 6 of the vessel 3 which is arranged to extend into the vessel 3 to a position at which, in use, the open end of the tuyere 5 is a short distance above the surface of the molten bath 9.
- the apparatus in Figure 2 comprises two diametrically opposed tuyeres 5 in the side wall 6 of the vessel 3.
- the open ends of the tuyeres 5 are substantially flush with the inner surface of the side wall 6.
- the open ends of the tuyeres are a short distance above the surface of the molten bath 9. It is noted that this is not an essential feature of the present invention, and the open ends may be submerged in the molten bath 9.
- the tuyeres 5 are angled downwardly toward the surface of the molten bath 9.
- each apparatus further comprises a tuyere 10 extending generally vertically into the vessel 3 through the roof 20.
- the operating conditions are selected so that coal and iron ore are entrained in a suitable carrier gas, such as nitrogen, and are injected through the tuyere(s) 5 into the molten bath 9 containing molten iron and slag with sufficient momentum to penetrate the molten bath 9 and to cause splashes and droplets of molten iron and slag to be projected upwardly from the surface of the molten bath 9 in a fountain-like manner to form a transition zone 11 in a space 14 in the vessel 3 above the molten bath surface.
- a suitable carrier gas such as nitrogen
- a suitable oxygen-containing gas such as hot air or oxygen enriched air
- a suitable oxygen-containing gas such as hot air or oxygen enriched air
- afterburning reaction gases such as CO and H 2 that are released from the molten bath 9 into the space 14 and otherwise would be discharged from the vessel 3 via the gas outlet 8.
- the tuyere(s) 5 may be located in the side wall 6 of the vessel 3 at any position above or below a suitable reference surface of the molten metal bath 9 provided that the angle of injection and the other factors noted above are such that the stream(s) of coal/ore/carrier gas injected, in use, through the tuyere(s) 5 can penetrate the molten bath 9 as required to cause splashes and droplets of molten iron and slag to be projected from the molten bath 9 to form as a fountain to form the transition zone 11.
- One suitable reference surface may be the quiescent level of the molten bath 9, i.e.
- the open end(s) of the side tuyere(s) 5 may be in the range of 0.5 metres above to 0.5 metres below the reference surface of the molten bath 9.
- the momentum of the stream of coal/ore/carrier gas injected through the tuyere(s) 5 is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the velocity of the stream, the solids loading of the stream, and the required size of the transition zone 11.
- an optimum set of operating conditions can be determined by consideration of the above (and other relevant) factors.
- the method and apparatus of the present invention make it possible to simplify the engineering associated with bath smelting processes where after-burning is achieved in the gas space above the molten bath, such as the HIsmelt Process.
- the present invention is not so limited and extends to the separate use of coal or ore with a suitable carrier gas.
- the present invention is not so limited and extends to arrangements in which the open ends of tuyeres 5 are submerged in the molten bath 9.
- the present invention extends to arrangements in which the tuyeres 5 are arranged to extend into the vessel through the roof 20.
- the tuyere 10 for oxygen- containing gas injection shown in the figures extends through the roof 20 in a generally vertical orientation
