Definitions
- This invention relates to the field of metallurgy.
- this invention related to processes for smelting/converting in metallurgy.
- This invention envisages a system for on-line decision of certain parameters in smelting/converting processes using a soft sensor.
- smelting/converting is the process of obtaining a metal form its ore. Since most ores are a mix of compounds, the art of this extraction lies in formulating a chemical reaction with an oxygen source, usually air- or pure oxygen. Smelting therefore consists of using suitable oxidants that will combine with those oxidizing elements to free the metal.
- the increasing need for higher and consistent production with low and varying raw material grades within a single furnace depends on robust and well-controlled pyrometallurgical furnace operation, leading to high online times.
- the key features of such high rate furnaces include a strong, thermally robust wall cooling system and a stable slag coating. This prevents the corrosive liquid slag from directly coming into contact with and penetrating into the sidewall refractory and eroding it.
- the formation and control of the slag coating is dependent on the quantity and direction of heat flow through the coating, slag chemistry, melt temperature and refractory properties. Less slag coating may lead to reduced lining life or even break out, which results into loss of production. Excessive slag coating, on other hand, can lead to operating difficulties with magnetite and loss of smelting/converting efficiency.
- a common and cost-effective way of knowing the solidified slag layer thickness in advance is by means of mathematical modeling. While number of mathematical models are present today which include the heat and fluid flow phenomena of the furnace, it is observed that a thermal conduction model is sufficient to capture the essence of the heat transfer at the furnace wall. Supplemented with plant data it is possible to reasonably predict of the frozen interface location. For instnace C SCHMITZ in 1996 proposed an approach for designing furnaces for the primary aluminium industry which provided some guidelines for furnace design in the primary aluminum smelters but the approach avoids the more complex convective flow equations.
- Chinese patent CN101812559A discloses the idea of developing an on-line monitoring system for the metallurgical trade balst furnace linning wear analysis. However, the method for predicting the slag coating thickness has not been described.
- An object of the invention is to achieve stable slag coating thickness within a furnace. Another object of the invention is to provide a system for determining the erosion profile of the furnace.
- Yet another object of the invention is to improve the performance of the furnace.
- the present invention envsages a system for determining slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion of high temperature metallurgical•furnace, the system comprising first sensing means adapted to sense and record at least some of the furnace and slag related parameters selected from the group consisting of slag chemistry, bath temperature, shell temperature,and refractory properties; second sensing means adapted to sense the parameters selected from the group consisting of jacket inlet water temperature, jacket outlet water temperature and water mass flow rate in the jacket; processing means coupled with the first sensing means and second sensing means and adapted to define a temperature profile by determining oxygen potential and heat loss of the furnace and further adpated to determine slag solidus of the slag; and determining means adapted to determine the slag coating thickness and refractory erosion based on the sensed parameters, the temperature profile and the slag solidus.
- the second sensing means is a distributed control system (DCS).
- DCS distributed control system
- the system further comprises a user interface and graphical display means adapted to display the slag coating thickness and the depth of refractory erosion determined by the determining means.
- the processing means is adapted to deploy a pre determined thermal model for determining the temperature profile and adapted to deploy a pre determined thermodynamic model for determining slag solidus.
- the system is adapted to operate online and offline to determine the slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion.
- the present invention also envisages a method for determining slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion of high temperature metallurgical furnace, the method comprising the steps of sensing at least some of the parameters selected from the group consisting of jacket inlet water temperature, jacket outlet water temperature and water mass flow rate in the jacket, shell temperature, bath temperature, slag chemistry, and refractory properties; processing the sensed parameters to define a temperature profile by determining oxygen potential and heat loss of the furnace and determine slag solidus of the slag; and
- the method further comprises the steps of displaying the slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion as determined by the determining means.
- the step of processing the sensed parameters to define a temperature profile of the furnace and determine slag solidus of the slag further comprisises the step of deploying a pre determined thermal model for defining the temperature profile.
- the step of processing the sensed parameters to define a temperature profile of the furnace and determine slag solidus of the slag further comprisises the step of

- a system implemented mathematical thermal equilibrium model is envisaged.
- the system basically determines slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion.
- a system 100 for determining slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion A first sensing means 105 is provided which senses and records the needed furnace and slag related parameters such as slag chemistry, bath temperature, shell temperature, and refractory properties.
- a second sensing means 110 is provided which senses the parameters selected from the group consisting of jacket inlet water temperature, jacket outlet water temperature and water mass flow rate in the jacket;
- the sensed parameters are sent to a processing means 115 which defines a temperature profile by determining oxygen potential and heat loss of the furnace by deploying a pre determined thermal model and determine slag solidus of the slag by deploying a predermined thermodynamic model.
- a determining means 120 determines the slag coating thickness and refractory erosion based on the sensed parameters and the slag solidus.
- the system takes into account different parameters asscociated with smelting/converting in metallurgy such as the slag chemistry (slag composition), bath temperature, heat loss and refractory properties in achieving a stable slag coating thickness for high temperature furnaces.
- the system predicts / determines the equilibrium slag coating thickness or the slag coating thickness and the depth of refractory erosion based on the on-line temperature of the jacket inlet water and jacket outlet water and mass cooling water flow rate data (inlet and outlet). Further, the system can also be used for online coupling with industrial automation infrastructure (distributed control systems DCS or programmable logic controller PLC).
- industrial automation infrastructure distributed control systems DCS or programmable logic controller PLC
- the processing means uses a two-dimensional cartesian system for (depth of wall (x) and height of furnace (y)) is considered under steady state conditions.
- the width of the furnace (z or ⁇ in cylindrical coordinates) is not taken into consideration as it is expected that the copper blocks have sufficient thermal capacity to absorb the heat flow in this direction.
- heat flow is predominantly towards the cooling elements (i.e. the jacket) and the heat flow towards the roof and hearth is neglected as it is miniscule and in most of the cases of macroscopic heat balance for a matte reverberatory furnace about 2% of the heat is lost through the sidewall, roof, bottom and hearth, respectively.
- the two dimensional cartesian system is used in governing transport equations for enthalpy which are also solved in two dimensions.
- the governing equations are discretized into finite volume cartesian coordinates.
- the tri-diagonal matrix algorithm also known as thomas algorithm, is used to solve the set of discretized linear equations.
- FIG 2 there is shown an exemplary of cartesian coordinates which are used with uniform 520 by 130 cells at 10 mm cell size in a mesh representation.
- the convergence is satisfied by the following criteria:
- the numerical code deterinations were compared to the solution using MatlabTM PDE solver to ensure accuracy, precision and compliance.
- thermodynamic model was deployed to determine the solidus for the converter multi-component slag system.
- thermodynamic model consists of a set of model equations for the Gibbs energies of all phases in multi-component system as a function of temperature, composition and pressure. From these equations, all the thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams of simple systems can be reproduced and those of multi- component systems can be predicted. Technically, this is realized by storing the model parameters in solution databases, which are then used along with pure component databases by general Gibbs free energy minimization tool that incorporates the model equations to calculate multi-component and multi-phase heterogeneous equilibria. With the help of thermodynamic modeling, slag-liquidus and solidus could be predicted on several regions of compositions and temperature.
- the salg system is FeOx-CaO-Cu20-Si02 and the converting furnace slag system consists of the following constituents: FeO, Fe 2 O3 ; Fe 3 0 4, Cu 2 0, Cu 2 S, CaO, and SiO 2 .
- the slag system is essentially calcium ferrite in nature.
- FIG. 3(a) there is shown a top view of furnace with jacket assembly contaning a plurality of jackets represented by numeral 30, the exothermic heat of the furnace is removed by water cooled copper jacket located at the slag level.
- Jacket water inlet is shown by 33 and outlet is shown by 35.
- the blister outlet is shown by 37
- the slag outlet is shown by 39
- the matte inlet is shown by 43
- the gas outlet is shown by 45.
- Figure 3(b) shows the solidified slag is represented by reference numeral 36.
- FIG. 4 The configuration of single water cooled jacket (side view) is also shown in figure 4 wherein a water cooled pipe jacket water inlet 33 and jacket water outlet 35 is extruded through copper block.
- Reference numeral 56 denotes refractory
- 58 denotes hearth
- 52 denotes blister
- 54 denotes slag.
- higher thermal conductivity of copper block ensures the efficient heat removal of heat at the slag level. Consequently, the temperature of slag in the vicinity of the jacket (copper block) tends to decrease.
- the slag becomes solidified (frozen) when the slag temperature attains its solidus. Once the slag solidus is known, it is then used to determine the slag coating thickness. With the help of the solution of equations for given boundary conditions and given geometry, the temperature values over each node could be determined and hence, the isotherms at different temperatures could also be drawn.
- FIG. 5 (a) and Figure 5 (b) there is shown an exemplary of a temperature profile of the system with a specific consideration on slag coating thickness 65.
- the molten or liquid slag is shown by 67 and blister is shown by 63.
- the solidified slag thickness is determined as follows:
- the slag solidus eg: 1075°C
- the slag coating thickness is measured as a distance from the refractory to the solidus.
- Figure 5 (a) shows the shaded area between the refractory outerface and the solidus ( ⁇ 1075 °C) as the solidified layer of slag.
- SCT max maximum slag coating thickness
- SCT min minimum slag coating thickness
- FIG 6 there is shown a graph representing the effect of slag coating thickness (in mm) (x-axis) on slag solidus (°C) (y-axis).
- the slag coating thickness increases with rise in slag solidus and as the thickness becomes steep above 1090 °C for a given heat loss and other conditions.
- SCT min slag coating at slag- blister interface
- the Heat loss Q is calculated from the mass flow rate of jacket water and temperature difference between jacket inlet water and and jacket outlet water i.e temperature that passes through the jacket, as shown in the following equation where
- m mass flow rate or jacket water
- the rise in slag thickness at skg-blister interface is steep when the heat loss per jacket is below 21000 Kcal/hr for a given parameters. Slag coating thickness being zero, a liquid slag-refractory contact is established when the heat loss increases above 27000 Kcal/hr.
- thermography measurement (in °C) of furnace shell at the blister level has been taken as one of the boundary conditions in the model. Often, it is very difficult to estimate the refractory condition based on thermography measurements. Therefore, a correlation between thermography measurement (in °C) (y-axis) and slag coating thickness (in mm) (x-axis) is depicted in Figure 8.
- the refractory at slag level is safe for a thermography measurement below 190 °C for a given condition, as a sufficient slag thickness is maintained below 190 °C. Furthermore, the rise in slag thickness is steep when the thermography temperature is below 190 °C, because higher thermography measurement being the indication of high heat loss from the refractory at blister level.
- melt temperature of C-furnace is also observed in day-to-day operation. It is therefore useful to correlate the slag thickness with melt temperature in the range in which it varies.
- FIG. 9 there is shown a graph between slag coating thickness (in mm) (x-axis) and melt temperature (in °C) (y-axis) where the safe operating slag coating thickness is attained below 1210 °C of melt temperature for a given furnace conditions. Slag thickness increases steeply with a decrease in melt temperature below 1210 °C. While low melt temperature ensures sufficient slag thickness, it is equally critical to ensure that the melt temperature should be higher than the slag liquidus in order to avoid magnetite precipitation and other operating difficulties thereof.
- the slag liquidus has been calculated for a range of slag chemistry being maintained in the furnace, as shown in the graph between C Slag liquidus (in °C) (x- axis) and Fe / CaO (in wt%) (y- axis) in Figure 10.
- the optimum melt temperature should be maintained in such a way that it is above the liquidus as shown in Figure 9 and at the same time there should be sufficient slag coating thickness at slag-blister interface.
- the slag chemistry i.e Fe/CaO
- the melt temperature is higher than the liquidus.
- the processing means would work as a soft sensor for the continuous determination of slag coating thickness, provide continuous guidance to the plant operation on the health of the furnace and advise the optimum conditions of plant working. This would enhance the decision making ability of the operators, resulting in reduced process variations and an improved operation.
- a flowchart of the process for determining slag coating thickness and depth of refractory erosion of high temperature metallurgical furnace as shown in figure 11, the method comprising the steps of sensing at least some of the parameters selected from the group consisting of jacket inlet water temperature, jacket outlet water temperature and water mass flow rate in the jacket, shell temperature, bath temperature, slag chemistry and refractory properties, 405; > processing the sensed parameters to define a temperature profile of the furnace and determine slag solidus of the slag, 410; and determining slag coating thickness based on the sensed parameters, the temperature profile and the slag solidus, 415.

- DCS distributed control system
- the water inlet as well as outlet temperature of a jacket and total mass flow rate of water can be measured online is fetched directly from the distributed control system DCS.
- the bath temperature, slag chemistry and the thermography readings are measured manually. Based on the above data, the oxygen potential of the process and heat loss from the jacket are calculated.
