注氢和富氧相互作用对高炉PCI影响的数值模拟

摘要: 氢气作为绿色清洁能源,显示出替代部分高炉喷吹煤粉(PCI)的潜力,可以减少炼铁过程中二氧化碳的排放量。本文通过数值模拟方法,建立了高炉风口内氢气与煤粉共喷的三维数学模型,研究了喷氢与富氧相互作用对煤粉燃尽和回旋区冶炼状态的影响规律。模拟结果表明,当喷煤量从36降低到30 t/h,喷氢量从0增加到3600 m3/h时,CO2排放量从1860 kg/t降至1551 kg/t,下降16.6%,煤粉燃尽从70.1%降至63.7%。氢气燃烧释放的热量可以促进煤粉的脱挥发,影响挥发分与氧气的燃烧反应,导致回旋区末端温度下降,提高了回旋区上半部和风口出口处的壁面温度,需要提高回旋区上半部和风口出口处壁面的冷却效率。当氧含量增加3%,同时保持恒定的氢气和煤粉喷注量时,煤粉燃尽和回旋区平均温度分别提高4.2%和43 K,CO和H2的摩尔分数分别提高0.04和0.02。通过优化煤粉粒度分布,可以改善燃尽。

 

Numerical simulation of the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on PCI in a blast furnace

Abstract: Hydrogen displays the potential to partially replace pulverized coal injection (PCI) in the blast furnace, and it can reduce CO2 emissions. In this paper, a three-dimensional mathematical model of hydrogen and pulverized coal co-injection in blast furnace tuyere was established through numerical simulation, and the effect of hydrogen injection and oxygen enrichment interaction on pulverized coal combustion and raceway smelting was investigated. The simulation results indicate that when the coal injection rate decreased from 36 to 30 t/h and the hydrogen injection increased from 0 to 3600 m3/h, the CO2 emissions decreased from 1860 to 1551 kg/t, which represents a 16.6% reduction, and the pulverized coal burnout decreased from 70.1% to 63.7%. The heat released from hydrogen combustion can not only promote the volatilization of pulverized coal but also affect the combustion reaction between volatilization and oxygen, which resulted in a decrease in the temperature at the end of the raceway. Co-injection of hydrogen with PCI increased the wall temperature near the upper half part of the raceway and at the outlet of the tuyere, which required a high cooling efficiency to extend the service life of the blast furnace. The increase in oxygen level compensated for the decreased average temperature in the raceway due to hydrogen injection. The increase in the oxygen content by 3% while maintaining constant hydrogen and PCI injection rates increased the burnout and average raceway temperature by 4.2% and 43 K, respectively. The mole fraction of CO and H2 production increased by 0.04 and 0.02, respectively. Burnout can be improved through optimization of the particle size distribution of pulverized coal.
