Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a granulated iron manufacturing apparatus and a granulated iron manufacturing method for manufacturing granulated iron from molten iron.
  • Granular iron is made by dispersing molten iron such as hot metal or molten steel and then solidifying it into granules, with an average particle size of about several mm to several tens of mm.
  • molten iron such as hot metal or molten steel
  • this is temporarily stored as granular pig iron.
  • blast furnaces have become larger, and if a large amount of hot metal cannot be temporarily processed, the blast furnace wind will be reduced. For this reason, there is a need for equipment that can serve as a buffer in case troubles occur in the steelmaking process and below.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a method of granulating hot metal by spraying pressure water on the hot metal.
  • the granular pig iron is often hollow, and there is a risk that water will accumulate in this hollow part and cause a steam explosion during remelting.
  • Patent Document 2 discloses a granular metal manufacturing method in which molten pig iron is dropped onto a fixed plate, droplets bounce off the fixed plate, fall into a cooling bath below, and are cooled, thereby producing granular pig iron.
  • Patent Document 3 discloses an apparatus for producing a large amount of granular pig iron by granulating hot metal with a water stream, cooling and solidifying the liquid granular pig iron by dropping it into water.
  • Granular pig iron is at a high temperature when it is put into water.
  • the temperature of granular pig iron is approximately 1200 to 1500 degrees Celsius, so when such high-temperature granular pig iron comes into contact with water, a film boiling state occurs in which a steam film is created on the surface of the hot object, and the water evaporates, dissipating the heat of the granular pig iron. I'll take it away.
  • This film boiling has a low cooling capacity, and has a heat transfer coefficient that is only about one hundredth of that of nucleate boiling, which does not produce a vapor film, for example. For this reason, if film boiling continues for a long time, the granular pig iron may not be sufficiently cooled, and the granular pig pigs may fuse and coalesce within the cooling water.
  • Patent Document 3 discloses that the amount of secondary cooling water is adjusted to maintain the cooling water temperature in the pit at 68°C or less, thereby suppressing the coalescence of granular pig iron deposited in the pit. He says it can be done.
  • the cooling water tank is provided with a discharge port for supplying cooling water and a drain port for conveying the cooled water whose temperature has increased to the cooling equipment, thereby circulating the cooling water between the cooling water tank and the cooling equipment.
  • Patent Document 3 describes that the cooling water temperature in the pit is maintained at 68° C. or lower by adjusting the amount of cooling water of the secondary cooling water, but there is no mention of a method for controlling the flow in the cooling water tank. Depending on the flow of cooling water, a stagnation area may occur in the cooling water tank. Warm cooling water used for cooling the granular pig iron may remain in this stagnation area, resulting in the formation of a locally high water temperature area.

  • the circulating flow cools the granulated iron. This increases the cooling efficiency of the granulated iron in the partition cylinder, and suppresses the fusion and coalescence of granulated iron during cooling of the granulated iron. Furthermore, by increasing the cooling efficiency of granulated iron, the device becomes more compact if the cooling capacity of granulated iron is kept the same, and the device can produce more granulated iron if the size of the device is the same.

Moreover, if the amount of cooling water is more than 3900 m 3 /h, the cooling water 24 will deviate from the first circulating flow and flow out from the inlet 33 of the partition cylinder 32 into the cooling water tank 20, which is not preferable.

This is not preferable because it makes it difficult for flow to occur. Furthermore, if the flow velocity of the cooling water 24 supplied from the middle cooling water pipe group 46 is faster than 2.2 m/s, the pressure loss in the cooling water pipes 41 will be high, and large-scale water supply equipment such as a pump will be required.
