Advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be embodied in various different forms, and the present embodiments merely make the disclosure of the present invention complete, and are common in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, which is to be defined only by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

1 is a schematic view of a molten iron manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1, the molten iron manufacturing apparatus of the embodiment according to the present invention to produce molten iron by using the iron and steel by-products efficiently It comprises a raw material pretreatment facility 10, steelmaking by-product gas pretreatment facility 20, pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 and the melt reduction reactor (40). The molten iron manufacturing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention may be modified with the type of raw materials used or installed with additional apparatus.

The raw material pretreatment system 10 is supplied to the raw material pretreatment system 10 through the iron ore raw material line 5 to the low-grade ore, which is generally in the form of fine particles of several millimeters or less, to be deformed or controlled to reduce the It is a device that performs preheating.

The raw material pretreatment facility 10 is to vary depending on the form of the reduction and melting reactor of iron ore, when the pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 is a fixed bed form, the iron ore particles present in the fine form is transformed into a pellet (pellet) form, etc. It is advantageous. Particularly, fine iron ore of several hundred microns or less including magnetite which is not suitable for blast furnace type reactor, as well as fine iron ore of several tens of microns or less discharged in dust form during the steelmaking process, is transformed into pellet form during raw material pretreatment. Can be. They may be mixed with coal or present in a charcoal form with a binder.

On the other hand, when the pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 is in the form of a fluidized bed, the iron ore in the form of fine particles, which exist from thousands of microns to several microns, is a bubble fluidized bed, a circulating fluidized bed, or a riser according to its shape and physicochemical properties. It can be suitably selected and pretreated to suit various fluidized bed reactors, such as rotary fluidized bed, drum or spray form.

Iron ore in the form of fine powder in the embodiment according to the present invention includes hematite and magnetite, which can not be used directly in the form of blast furnace, low iron ore containing a lot of moisture, dust ore in the form of dust (dust) discharged as a by-product of the steelmaking process. The finely divided iron ore selected according to the pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 shape may be heated to an appropriate temperature or morphologically modified by physicochemical methods. In particular, iron ore containing a lot of moisture, such as limonite can be dried or pre-heated, iron ore with high impurities or low iron content such as taconite may be subjected to a raw material pretreatment process such as crushing or beneficiation in advance.

In addition, the steel by-product by-product pretreatment unit 20 recovers carbon dioxide from the gas discharged from the iron ore reduction process through a carbon dioxide line 37, and then, the steel by-product gas such as coke oven exhaust gas is a steel by-product gas line (6) When supplied through the feed is mixed together, reformed, sorted and separated to supply the reducing gas to the melt reduction reactor 40 through the reducing gas line 70 as appropriate.

The reformed reducing gas includes hydrogen and carbon monoxide as main components, and is appropriately distributed and supplied selectively according to the type of iron ore to reduce the hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 and the melt reduction reactor 40. It can effectively enhance the reducing ability of. To this end, the iron and gas by-product pretreatment system 20 properly supplies a reducing gas suitable for reducing the lower iron ore using a carbon dioxide recovery and reuse technology as well as a heat recovery and heat supply system of the reactor.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, carbon dioxide may be reduced by recovering and recycling carbon dioxide generated during the steelmaking process.

1, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the iron ore raw material pretreated in the raw material pretreatment facility 10 is introduced into the pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 through the ore conduit 52, the pre-reduction / reduction reactor At 30, the iron ore raw material is pre-reduced and reduced and introduced into the molten reduction reactor 40 through the partial reduced iron transfer pipe (54).

In this case, the preliminary reduction / reduction reactor 30 reduces the reducing gas generated from the molten reduction reactor 40 through the reducing gas line 64 and the reformed reducing gas generated from the steelmaking by-product gas pretreatment facility 20. It is a device for preliminarily reducing or reducing the iron ore transferred from the raw material pretreatment facility 10 by using the reducing gas supplied through the line 60.

The pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 may be connected in series or in parallel with one or two or more so as to adjust the reduction reaction rate for removing oxygen from the iron ore according to the iron ore particle size and reactor type. The pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 is determined by the iron ore type and the appropriate reduction reaction temperature, pressure range, etc. If the reduction process of the iron ore in the form of a fixed bed (fixed bed), reduced and calcined at a high temperature of 900 ℃ or more It is also possible. The pre-reduction / reduction reactor 30 may connect several reactor types to each other. In particular, in the case of a fluidized bed (fluidized bed) reactor, the reaction temperature and the degree of fluidization should be controlled so as to prevent carbon deposition or sticking.

In general, in the case of hematite (hematite), it is well reduced at a temperature between 600 ~ 850 ℃ under a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, and in the case of magnetite (magnetite) it is well reduced at a temperature between 350 ~ 650 ℃. In addition, the reducing gas separated and separated from the steel by-product by-product pretreatment facility 20 for efficient reduction of low-grade iron ore such as hard-reduced ore is input and controlled according to the form and reduction of iron ore. If a large amount of hydrogen reducing agent is used, the reduction rate of the lower iron ore can be increased.

In addition, the molten reduction reactor 40 of the embodiment according to the present invention melts and reduces the partial reduced iron obtained from the preliminary reduction / reduction reactor 30 by using a hydrocarbon processing apparatus 80 for supplying high heat and reducing gas. 90) is a device for producing. The hydrocarbon processing device 80 is a device for burning coal pulverized in the form of pulverized coal, coke or briquettes so as to provide heat and reducing gas required for the reactor.

In this case, as a medium for controlling the calorific value, it is preferable to use pure oxygen rather than air in terms of carbon dioxide reduction, and the pure oxygen is supplied through the oxygen line 85, and in order to secure the reducing gas in the reactor and secure the space when the pure oxygen is introduced. The insufficient driving force can be controlled by the introduction of hydrocarbons by the hydrocarbon (reduction gas) gas line 70 obtained from the steelmaking by-product gas pretreatment facility 20. In addition, it is also possible to reduce the amount of reducing gas and calorific value required in the reactor by accelerating the reduction melting rate by adding a large amount of hydrogen.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a molten iron manufacturing apparatus of the first embodiment according to the present invention, the basic configuration and function is the same as in Figure 1, but according to the type and characteristics of iron ore to be reduced, the configuration of the invention is modified or additional devices are to be installed Can be.

In the first embodiment according to the present invention, a reactor in the form of a fluidized bed was used to promote indirect reduction of the lower iron ore present in the form of a fine reduction / reduction reactor. The fluidized bed reactor is to reduce the iron ore present in the form of fine powder by reducing gas such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, etc., compared with using a fixed bed reactor of the blast furnace and shaft reactors, such as pellet or sintering process of iron ore This process can be simplified because there is no need, and iron ore is in the form of fine powder, so iron ore reduction rate is fast.

At this time, in the form of fine iron ore, the fluidized bed reactor is applied differently depending on the particle size and the iron ore density change. That is, all iron ore particles of several millimeters or less are preferred to combine several fluidized bed reactor types rather than requiring one reactor type in the reduction process, which results in carbon deposition or sticking phenomenon occurring when reducing finely divided iron ores. It is possible to achieve an efficient iron ore reduction process by reducing the, and by minimizing the scattering loss caused by the fluidized bed reactor type. This is possible by appropriate choice of fluidized bed reactors depending on the type of iron ore.

In the first embodiment according to the present invention, a riser-type fluidized bed reactor is generally used to reduce the magnetite-type fine iron ore, which is generally less than several hundred microns and has an average particle distribution of several tens of microns. A bubble fluidized bed reactor was applied for hematite-type fine iron ores with fine iron ore less than several millimeters and average particle distribution of several hundred microns. The fine iron ore is in contact with a reducing gas under appropriate reaction conditions to form reduced iron, it is possible to form a molten iron 90 in the melt reduction reactor (40).

The magnetite-based iron ore raw material is well reduced by the reducing gas containing a large amount of hydrogen as a reducing gas as shown in the following formula (1), and the iron ore indirect reduction reaction occurs well in the temperature range of 350 ~ 650 ℃.

1/4 Fe ₃ O ₄ + H ₂ → 3/4 Fe + H ₂ O -------------- (1)

Therefore, it is preferable that the iron ore of the magnetite series is mixed in the raw material pretreatment facility 10b to have a normal distribution of several tens of micron particle size and treated to be in the Geldart A range to be reduced in the riser 33 and 34. At this time, the iron ore with high moisture may be subjected to a drying process or the ore with high impurities may be accompanied by a pretreatment process by beneficiation. In general, fine magnetite which is present in tens of microns is reduced by using hydrogen, and the reduction reaction occurs faster than carbon monoxide as a reducing agent at a temperature of 800 ° C. or higher at the initial stage of the reduction reaction, thereby reducing the iron ore by a riser rather than a bubble fluidized bed. It is suitable to do. In this case, in the pretreatment process, the preliminary iron ore may be preheated to allow a (preliminary) reduction at a temperature of 800 ° C. or higher. The preheating can be performed by circulating and burning some of the gas discharged from the reduction reactor 32 to the fine magnetite raw material pretreatment facility 10b and raising the temperature to 800 ° C or higher.

In general, the reduction reaction of the magnetite system using hydrogen is rapidly reduced at a reduction temperature of 800 ° C. or higher until the iron ore reduction rate is 40-50% or less, but the reduction reaction rate is significantly reduced when the reduction rate is 40-50% or more. Therefore, in order to obtain an iron ore reduction rate of 50% or more, it is appropriate that the reaction temperature is 350 to 650 ° C or less. This is because the reduction rate is increased by reducing the fine magnetite with hydrogen, and the reduction reaction rate is inhibited by carbon deposition or sticking. For this purpose, it is appropriate to reduce by connecting two or more rising tubes for the reduction of the fine magnetite.

That is, the first riser 34 is adjusted so that the reduction rate is 40 to 50% at a temperature of 800 ℃ or more, and the second riser 33 is to accelerate the reduction reaction at 350 ~ 650 ℃ temperature.

The reduced iron thus obtained may be mixed with the reduced iron of the hematite system and reduced to be added to the melt reduction reactor 40. At this time, it is also possible to distinguish the reduced iron of the magnetite system and hematite system to be introduced into the melt reduction reactor (40). The reducing gas for reducing the iron ore of the magnetite system is advantageously reduced by using hydrogen gas produced from the steelmaking by-product gas pretreatment facility 20-1. However, the reducing gas may exist in the form of various mixed gases. In addition, the reactor used at this time is not limited to the riser, the type of iron ore is not limited to the iron ore of the magnetite system, it is possible to include a hematite system and a dust (iron) in the form of dust (dust) discharged as a by-product of steelmaking process. In addition, the reduction reactor may be connected to two or more according to the reduction rate and the iron ore residence time.

Referring to FIG. 2, the iron ore raw material is supplied to the raw material pretreatment facility 10b for sorting and pretreating the iron ore raw material to be suitable for reduction through the iron ore raw material line 5b, and the iron ore raw material pretreated from the raw material pretreatment facility 10b. Is transferred to a preliminary reduction reactor, wherein the preliminary reduction reactor is a first riser 34 to which the pretreated iron ore raw material is transferred, and a second riser 33 connected to the first riser 34. Is done.

Iron ore raw material from the raw material pretreatment facility (10b) through the first ore conduit (52a), the second ore conduit (52b) and the third ore conduit (52c) sequentially the first riser (34), the second riser It is reduced while moving to 33 and the reduction reactor 32.

That is, the partial reduced iron transferred from the preliminary reduction reactors 33 and 34 in which the transferred iron ore raw material is pre-reduced by the reducing gas is reduced in the reduction reactor 32, and the partial reduced iron obtained from the reduction reactor 32 is melted. The molten iron 90 is produced by melt reduction using a reducing gas in the reduction reactor 40.

In addition, in FIG. 2, carbon dioxide generated in a steelmaking by-product gas or iron ore reduction process is mixed and reformed to generate a reducing gas, and the generated reducing gas is the molten reduction reactor 40 or the preliminary reduction reactors 33 and 34. The iron by-product by-product pretreatment facility 20-1 to supply to the iron ore reduction process facility 100-1 to supply the carbon dioxide is shown.

At this time, the steel by-product by-product pretreatment 20-1, the steel by-product off-gas separation device 21 for separating the hydrogen from the steel by-product by-product to supply the separated hydrogen to the second riser (33), The first heater 12a for supplying heat to the iron by-product gas from which hydrogen is separated by the heat exchange with the circulating gas in the circulating gas line 72 circulating through the raw material pretreatment facility 10b, and the generated hydrogen is It is connected to the first reforming reactor (20a) and the first reforming reactor (20a) supplied to the first riser (34) to the carbon generated from the first reforming reactor (20a) and the first heater (12a) The carbon dioxide generated by the complete combustion of the gas and carbon dioxide generated in the iron ore reduction process facility (100-1) to produce carbon monoxide and the produced carbon monoxide is supplied to the melt reduction reactor (40) Reactor 20b It should. At this time, the carbon supply to the second reforming reactor 20b is made through the carbon line 18.

Most of the seasonal by-product gas from which the hydrogen is supplemented by the first heater 12a is separated from the hydrogen, is mostly made of methane, and flows into the first heater 12a through the methane line 19, and the first reforming is performed. In the reactor 20a, hydrogen and carbon are generated by a reaction such as the following formula (2).

CH ₄ → C + 2H ₂ -------------------- (2)

At this time, the temperature of the gas circulated through the raw material pretreatment facility 10b is 800 ° C. or higher.

A part of the gas used in the first heater 12a may supply carbon dioxide to the second reforming reactor 20b by complete combustion, and at the same time, heat may be supplied by the second heater 12b. The remaining gas can be supplied to power plant 13a to produce power. Hydrogen gas generated in the first reforming reactor 20a is introduced into the first riser 34 and the hydrogen may be present at 800 ° C. or more, and the amount of heat insufficient is part of the gas discharged from the reduction reactor 32. It is also possible to supplement by using as a combustion gas. At this time, the hydrogen gas discharged from the second riser 33 may be replenished to the first riser 34 after heat exchange with the second heat exchanger 11b.

Hydrogen reducing agent gas in the first embodiment according to the present invention is the coke oven gas (COG) generated in the process of making coke from the steel mill and the gas discharged from the iron ore reduction process equipment 100-1 of the embodiment according to the present invention CO2 is recovered and reformed to produce. This is a technology that efficiently uses the gas generated in the coal-based steelmaking process.

The second reforming reactor 20b is supplied through the carbon dioxide line 37 recovered from the carbon (C) obtained from the first reforming reactor 20a and the iron ore reduction process facility 100 as shown in Equation (3) below. It is a device for obtaining carbon monoxide by reforming the carbon dioxide obtained from the second heater 12b for supplying heat to the carbon dioxide and the second reforming reactor 20b.

C + CO ₂ → 2CO -------------------- (3)

On the other hand, since the first riser 34 operates at 800 ° C. or higher, the reducing gas (hydrogen) supplied to the first riser 34 must satisfy a temperature of 800 ° C. or higher. Therefore, a first heat exchanger 11a is installed between the steelmaking by-product gas separator 21 and the second riser 33 to discharge from the first riser 34 and the second riser 33. The heat amount of the reducing gas supplied to the second riser 33 is replenished by heat exchange with hydrogen.

The heat exchange is performed through the primary riser discharge line 34a and the secondary riser discharge line 33a, respectively. At this time, high temperature hydrogen flows on the first riser discharge line 34a and the second riser discharge line 33a, and hydrogen of the hydrogen line 17a to which low temperature hydrogen is supplied from the first heat exchanger 11a. When the heat exchange is performed and the amount of hydrogen supplied is insufficient, hydrogen may be supplied to the second riser 33 after the heat exchange.

The second heat exchanger (11b) is installed on the second ore conduit (52b) connecting the first and the second riser (33, 34) to the hydrogen gas discharged from the second riser (33) After the heat exchange with the partial reduced iron flowing through the second ore conduit 52b, the first riser 34 is supplied. The hydrogen supplied to the first riser 34 after the heat exchange is mixed and supplied with the hydrogen supplied by the hydrogen line 17a supplied from the first reforming reactor 20a to the first riser 34.
