Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a novel system and method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron in an integrated steel mill or the like that has a coke oven and/or an oxygen steelmaking furnace. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel system and method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using coke oven gas and oxygen steelmaking furnace gas.
- Integrated steel mills and the like typically have coke ovens and/or oxygen steelmaking furnaces and use excess associated gases for heating and power generation.
- COG coke oven gas
- BOFG basic oxygen furnace gas
- Both COG and BOFG contain significant percentages of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ), which are the primary reductants for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron.
- the COG also contains 20+% methane (CH 4 ), which, under the proper conditions, may be reformed with carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) and water (H 2 0) to form CO and H 2 .
- BOFG may contain up to 20% nitrogen (N 2 ), which may build up to very high levels in a recirculating system, for example.
- the present invention provides an economical process for the direct reduction of iron ore when the external source of reductants is one or both of COG and BOFG, the latter also known as oxygen steelmaking furnace gas.
- C0 2 is removed from a mixture of shaft furnace off gas, obtained from a conventional direct reduction shaft furnace, well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and BOFG.
- This C0 2 lean gas is then mixed with clean COG, humidified, and heated in an indirect heater.
- Oxygen (0 2 ) is then injected into the heated reducing gas to further increase its temperature.
- This hot reducing gas flows to the direct reduction shaft furnace, where CH 4 in the hot reducing gas undergoes reforming by contact with the DRI/HDRI, followed by reduction of the iron oxide.
- BOFG other contemplated uses for the BOFG include as a supplement to the cleaned/cooled shaft furnace off gas for use as the top gas fuel for the indirect heater.
- the COG may be used for a variety of other purposes as well.
- the COG that is heated in the indirect heater is preferably first cleaned of complex hydrocarbons that would foul the indirect heater via oxidation processing (i.e. partial combustion) or the like (thereby correspondingly reducing, and potentially eliminating, the need for BOFG supplementation).
- COG with or without the complex hydrocarbons may also be used to supplement the top gas fuel for the indirect heater, as direct reduction shaft furnace transition zone injection gas, and/or to enrich the ultimate reducing gas stream. All of these possibilities, which are not mutually exclusive and may be used in any combination, are described in greater detail herein below.
- One object of the present invention is to maximize the amount of DRI, HDRI, or HBI that may be produced from a given quantity of COG and/or BOFG.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an efficient process given varying quantities of COG and/or BOFG.
- a further object of the present invention is to minimize equipment, and hence, plant cost by eliminating an external catalytic reformer, which would be used to generate CO and H 2 by reforming CH 4 in the COG with oxidants from the shaft furnace off gas and BOFG. Heating the mixture of C0 2 lean gas, C0 2 lean BOFG, and COG in an indirect heater followed by 0 2 injection and reforming in the direct reduction shaft furnace is less expensive than the use of the external catalytic reformer.
- a still further object of the present invention is to allow the operation of the direct reduction shaft furnace at a lower pressure than would otherwise be allowable, as the CH 4 level in the hot reducing gas delivered to the direct reduction shaft furnace is lowered by adding the BOFG.
- a still further object of the present invention is to limit the buildup of N 2 to an acceptable level by utilizing a portion of the spent hot reducing gas as indirect heater fuel.
- the present invention provides a novel system for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using coke oven gas (COG) and oxygen steelmaking furnace gas (BOFG), including: a direct reduction shaft furnace for providing off gas; a BOFG source for providing BOFG; a carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) removal system for removing C0 2 from a mixture of the off gas and the BOFG; a COG source for mixing a resulting C0 2 lean gas with COG; and the direct reduction shaft furnace reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using a resulting reducing gas.
- the system also includes a saturator for adjusting the moisture content of the resulting reducing gas prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the system further includes an indirect heater for heating the resulting reducing gas prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- a fuel gas for the indirect heater comprises a portion of the off gas and a portion of one or more of the COG and the BOFG.
- the system still further includes an oxygen source for adding oxygen to the resulting reducing gas prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the system still further includes a conduit for communicating a portion of the COG from the COG source to the resulting reducing gas prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the system still further includes a conduit for communicating a portion of the COG from the COG source to a transition zone of the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the system still further includes a partial oxidation reactor for removing complex hydrocarbons from the COG prior to it being mixed with the C0 2 lean gas.
- a partial oxidation reactor for removing complex hydrocarbons from the COG prior to it being mixed with the C0 2 lean gas.
- an amount of the BOFG used is dependent upon an amount and composition of the COG used.
- the present invention provides a novel method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using coke oven gas (COG) and oxygen steelmaking furnace gas (BOFG), including: obtaining off gas from a direct reduction shaft furnace; obtaining BOFG from a BOFG source; removing carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) from a mixture of the off gas and the BOFG; mixing a resulting C0 2 lean gas with COG from a COG source; and reducing iron oxide to metallic iron in the direct reduction shaft furnace using a resulting reducing gas.
- the method also includes adjusting the moisture content of the resulting reducing gas using a saturator prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the method further includes heating the resulting reducing gas using an indirect heater prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- a fuel gas for the indirect heater comprises a portion of the off gas and a portion of one or more of the COG and the BOFG.
- the method still further includes adding oxygen to the resulting reducing gas using an oxygen source prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the method still further includes communicating a portion of the COG from the COG source to the resulting reducing gas using a conduit prior to it being used in the direct reduction shaft furnace.
- the method still further includes communicating a portion of the COG from the COG source to a transition zone of the direct reduction shaft furnace using a conduit.
- the method still further includes removing complex hydrocarbons from the COG prior to it being mixed with the C0 2 lean gas using a partial oxidation reactor.
- an amount of the BOFG used is dependent upon an amount and composition of the COG used.
- the present invention provides a method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron, including: obtaining off gas from a direct reduction shaft furnace; obtaining basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFG) from a BOFG source; removing carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) from a mixture of the off gas and the BOFG; and reducing iron oxide to metallic iron in the direct reduction shaft furnace using a resulting C0 2 lean gas.
- the method also includes mixing the resulting C0 2 lean gas with coke oven gas (COG) from a COG source prior to using it as a reducing gas.
- the method further includes removing complex hydrocarbons from the COG prior to it being mixed with the resulting C0 2 lean gas.
- the present invention provides a method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron, including: obtaining off gas from a direct reduction shaft furnace; mixing the off gas with coke oven gas (COG) from a COG source; and reducing iron oxide to metallic iron in the direct reduction shaft furnace using a resulting reducing gas.
- the method also includes: obtaining basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFG) from a BOFG source; removing carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) from a mixture of the off gas and the BOFG; and mixing a resulting C0 2 lean gas with the COG from the COG source.
- the method further includes removing complex hydrocarbons from the COG prior to it being mixed with the C0 2 lean gas.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating one exemplary embodiment of the novel system and method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using COG and/or BOFG of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating one exemplary embodiment of a process for removing complex hydrocarbons from the COG in conjunction with the system and method of FIG. 1.
- the novel system and method for reducing iron oxide to metallic iron using COG and/or BOFG includes individual components that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and thus they are not illustrated or described in excessive detail herein, but that are combined together in an inventive process.
- These components include, but are not limited to, a conventional direct reduction shaft furnace 10, a waste heat boiler 18, a cooler scrubber 20, a BOFG source 30 (and/or appropriate storage vessel), a C0 2 removal system 40, a COG source 50 (and/or appropriate storage vessel), a saturator 60, an indirect heater 70, and an oxygen source 80 (and/or appropriate storage vessel).
- the direct reduction shaft furnace 10 has an upper end where iron ore in the form of pellets, lumps, aggregates, etc. 14 is fed.
- the reduced pellets, lumps, aggregates, etc. 14 are removed at a lower end 13 of the direct reduction shaft furnace 10 as DRI.
- a reducing gas inlet conduit 15 is located between the feed charge and the product discharge, and supplies hot reducing gas to the direct reduction shaft furnace 10.
- This hot reducing gas contains CH 4j which is reformed near the gas inlet section of the direct reduction shaft furnace 10 by C0 2 and H 2 0 contained in the hot reducing gas to produce additional CO and H 2 .
- the HDRI acts as a catalyst in the reforming reaction.
- the hot reducing gas containing CO and H 2 reduces the iron oxide to metallic iron and exits the direct reduction shaft furnace 10 as spent reducing gas through an offtake conduit at the top of the direct reduction shaft furnace 10 flowing into a duct 17 to the waste heat boiler 18, and then to the cooler scrubber 20.
- the steam generated in the waste heat boiler 18 provides the majority of the regeneration heat for the C0 2 removal system 40, for example.
- the cooler scrubber 20 cools and cleans the spent off gas, which exits the cooler scrubber through a conduit 21.
- a portion of the cooled off gas enters another conduit 23 and flows to the burners of the indirect heater 70.
- a portion of the cooled off gas also enters a further conduit 22 and joins a conduit 32 from the BOFG source 30, forming another conduit 34 that flows to a compressor 35.
- the compressed gas from the compressor 35 flows to the C0 2 removal system 40, where C0 2 is scrubbed from the gas.
- the C0 2 lean gas in the conduit 41 is then enhanced by COG from another conduit 52, and then enters a further conduit 56, which flows to the saturator 60 where H 2 0 is added to the gas in order to adjust it for carbon control in the direct reduction shaft furnace 10.
- Additional BOFG is combined directly with the top gas fuel stream through a conduit 33.
- Additional COG is sent to the auxiliary burners of the indirect heater 70 through one or more conduits 53 and 54 and to the transition zone of the direct reduction shaft furnace 10, as transition zone injection gas, through one or more other conduits 53 and 55.
- the gas from the saturator 60 flows through a conduit 61 to the indirect heater 70, where the gas is heated to near reduction temperature by the burners fueled by the combination of spent direct reduction furnace off gas and BOFG, as well as the auxiliary burners fueled by COG, for example.
- Combustion air is preheated by heat exchange with heater flue gas.
- the hot gas from the indirect heater 70 leaves through a conduit 71 and 0 2 from the oxygen source 80 is added via another conduit 81 to raise the temperature of the gas to 1000 degrees C or higher.
- the gas then flows through a further conduit 15, with the elevated temperature required to supply the endothermic load necessary for the in situ reforming in the reduction shaft furnace 10.
- COG and BOFG have analyses that may vary depending on the particular raw materials and specific practices at various steel mills throughout the world.
- the table below provides some non-limiting examples:
- the COG and BOFG are utilized in the most efficient manner to produce DRI/HDRI/HBI with a minimum amount of COG and/or BOFG without export fuel, there is a specific ratio of COG to BOFG for each analysis of the gases. This ratio may vary from about 0.95 to about 1.25. For BOFG with higher amounts of CO, and consequently lower amounts of N 2 , the ratio is closer to 0.95. For BOFG with higher amounts of N 2 , and consequently lower amounts of CO, more COG is required and the ratio is closer to 1.25.
- the COG from the COG source 50 that is eventually heated in the indirect heater 70 is preferably first cleaned of sulfur and complex hydrocarbons that would foul the indirect heater 70 via oxidation processing (i.e. partial combustion) or the like in a partial oxidation reactor 90 or the like, with the addition of 0 2 and H 2 0 (i.e. steam).
- This cleaning process correspondingly reduces, and potentially eliminates, the need for BOFG supplementation, if so desired.
- the cleaning process is primarily required to deal with the presence of quantities of NH 3 , H 2 S, Tars, HCN, Naphthalene, and BTX (Benzol, Toluene, and Xylene) in the COG.
- the cleaning process takes place as a lesser reaction in the ducts of the reducing gas system, as opposed to the partial oxidation reactor 90.
- the oxidation reaction looks as follows (exemplary only):
- COG with or without the complex hydrocarbons may also be used to supplement the top gas fuel for the indirect heater 70 (via conduits 53 and 54), as direct reduction shaft furnace transition zone injection gas (via conduits 53 and 55), and/or to enrich the ultimate reducing gas stream (via conduits 53, 54, and 59).
- the indirect heater 70 via conduits 53 and 54
- direct reduction shaft furnace transition zone injection gas via conduits 53 and 55
- enrich the ultimate reducing gas stream via conduits 53, 54, and 59.
