Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating an arc furnace for building and holding a foam slag in a predetermined thickness over the entire cross-sectional area of the melt bath with the supply of a slag former, in particular carbon.
- the arc is immersed in half of its length or completely in the foam slag, half or all of the radiation energy of the arc is transferred to the steel bath by thermal conduction of the slag.
- the energy utilization then increases to 65 or 93%.
- Optimal energy input is achieved when there is sufficient slag height and when the slag can simulate the arc resistance due to its specific conductivity. The efficiency can increase up to 100% due to the additional reduction in focal spot losses.
- a disadvantage of this known method is that when using lance manipulators in the area of the slag There is a considerable space requirement and the lances also have to be changed frequently. Due to the blowing in of the additives in the area of the slag door, a high slag is preferably generated in the adjacent area, while more or less slag is present in the other furnace areas. This has significant disadvantages. In particular, the slag foaming takes place only at one point, so that there is no sufficient slag in the area opposite the slag door. This is particularly noticeable with electric arc furnaces, which are equipped with an eccentric bay opening.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for operating an arc furnace to build and hold a slag, with which not only the energy consumption of the arc furnace is reduced overall, the melting process can be optimized and the top-to-top times shortened and the consumption of electrodes and refractories and the noise can be reduced, but with a much faster build-up of the slag with even Distribution in the area and height of the electric arc furnace is obtained and slag materials can also be added in a larger amount than before.
- the amount of the slag generator fed into the arc furnace is regulated as a function of the current consumed by the electrodes and thus the power consumption of the arc furnace in such a way that the maximum amount of slag generator is initially added to build up the foam slag , until the current consumption of the electrodes is reduced, then the amount of added slag generator is reduced until the current consumption reaches a predetermined target value and then the target current consumption is kept constant by reducing or increasing the added amount of slag generator.
- the basis of the method according to the invention is thus that the power consumption of the electrodes is reduced when the foam slag has reached an optimal height. For this reason, a maximum amount of foaming slag, in particular carbon, is fed into the molten bath at a given power consumption of the electric arc furnace, until the power absorbed decreases to a predetermined setpoint. If the power absorbed falls below this target value, the addition of slag generator is reduced; if it increases again above the target power, the addition of slag generator is increased accordingly. This makes it possible to drive an optimal height of foam slag, the foam slag being built up in the shortest possible time.
- Slag formers are added via lances which are arranged in the wall of the furnace, these lances penetrating the furnace wall and being arranged approximately uniformly distributed over the circumference of the furnace.
- the inclination of the lances to the flow direction of the melt has an angle of approximately 30 to 80 °.
- the inclination to the horizontal is 10 to 30 ° .
- the blowing surface of the lances on the surface of the molten bath is selected so that the blowing surface lies in front of the electrode in the flow direction of the melt. This also ensures that the melt is evenly distributed over the entire bath surface.
- Additives can also be added through the lances, the amount of added additives being significantly greater than is the case with conventional methods in which these additives are added exclusively through the oven door using lance manipulators. This leads to an accumulation of the additives in the area of the oven door, which leads to the formation of lumps and thus to agglomerates which are very difficult to melt.
- 2 shows a schematic top view of an electric arc furnace with lances inserted in the furnace wall, which are arranged as a function of the direction of melt bath rotation
- 3 shows a section through the wall of the electric arc furnace with an inserted lance
- FIG. 4 shows an enlarged illustration of the lance end according to FIG. 3.
- FIG. 1 shows a top view of an electric arc furnace 1 designed according to the invention, which has three electrodes 2, 3, 4.
- the arrows 5 indicate the direction of rotation of the melting bath 5.
- the tapping of the furnace is located in the area of the oriel-shaped part 7 of the electric arc furnace 1.
- the oriel-shaped part 7 of the furnace door 8 is arranged opposite.
- Arranged in the furnace wall are three lances 9, 10 and 11 which have an inclination to the flow direction 6 of the molten bath 5 and which are at an angle of 30 to 80 ° to the latter.
- the lances 9, 10, 11 are also inclined to the horizontal, an angle of 10 to 30 ° being maintained here.
- the installation of the lances 9, 10, 11 in the furnace wall 12 can be seen in FIG. 3.
- a foam slag can be produced which extends essentially uniformly over the molten bath 5 of the electric arc furnace 1.
- the blowing surface of the lances lies in front of an electrode, so that it is ensured that the most heavily used wall area of the electric arc furnace can always be kept covered with a sufficient foam slag.
- the country zenende opens at a height of up to 200 mm above the melt pool level.
- Each lance 9, 10, 11 is connected via its own supply line 13, 14, 15, so that the conveying flow to the individual lances 9, 10, 11 can be individually controlled and the geometry of the furnace can thus be taken into account.
- FIG. 2 shows an electric arc furnace 1 corresponding to FIG. 1, only the bath rotation direction 6 having changed here.
- the inclination of the lances to the flow direction 6 of the molten bath was also aligned accordingly, the horizontal inclination being the same as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- Fig. 3 shows a vertical section through a furnace wall 12 of the electric arc furnace 1.
- the lance is arranged here at an angle of approximately 30 ° in the furnace wall, this lance being designed such that solids as well as gaseous substances are simultaneously fed through it can.
- the lance 9, 10, 11 has a ceramic insert 15, the solids, in particular carbon, lime and substances to be recycled being passed through the central opening 16 and gaseous substances through the space between the ceramic insert and the outer tube.
- This special construction of the lances makes it possible to supply solids and gaseous media one after the other or simultaneously at the same lance.
