低碳炼铁高炉炉缸死料柱焦炭行为特征及更新机制

摘要: 焦炭作为炼铁高炉下部唯一的固体材料,承担着料柱骨架、还原剂与热源等不可替代的功能,其在炉缸中的多相反应行为对于控制碳排放和实现低碳冶炼具有重要的理论价值和实践意义。本文基于某3200 m3大型高炉的解剖工作,结合绳锯残铁、图像处理技术、微观分析及焦炭溶解实验等多种手段,对炉缸死料柱及其内部“渣-铁-焦”三相的赋存状态、反应行为及更新机制进行了多维度表征。研究结果表明,炉缸死料柱根部呈现“圆弧状”形貌,并呈现出明显的“漂浮”状态,中心根部的漂浮高度约为0.45 m,越靠近炉缸边缘,漂浮高度越大。此外死料柱在高度方向上分为“渣焦区”、“铁焦区”和“无焦区”。计算得到死料柱平均空隙度为54.75%,焦炭平均粒度为21.47 mm。通过对“渣-铁-焦”三相的微观形貌分析发现,焦炭在受到铁水的溶解侵蚀过程中,其外层会形成一个“炉渣+CaS隔绝层”,该层抑制了“铁水–焦炭”之间的渗碳反应,是限制死料柱焦炭更新置换的关键因素。基于焦炭溶解实验构建了死料柱焦炭更新公式,据此计算得出更新时间为14.74天。文章最后综合以上分析结果,揭示了炉缸死料柱焦炭的更新机制,并提出了低碳冶炼的操作建议,为高炉低碳安全生产与原燃料优化提供了科学依据和理论指导。

 

Behavioral characteristics and renewal mechanism of deadman coke in the hearth under low-carbon ironmaking blast furnace conditions

Abstract: As the sole solid material in the lower part of a blast furnace (BF), the multiphase reaction behavior of coke within the deadman region of the hearth is of significant theoretical and practical importance for carbon emission control and low-carbon production. The multidimensional characterization of the occurrence state, multiphase reaction behavior, and renewal mechanism of deadman coke in the hearth was performed through the dissection of a 3200-m3 BF, combining various methods such as rope-sawing residual iron removal, image processing techniques, microscopic analysis, and coke dissolution experiments. The results showed that the deadman root in the hearth exhibited a “curved” shape and a distinct “floating” state, with the floating height at the center approximately 0.45 m, increasing toward the hearth edge. Vertically, the deadman was divided into three regions: the “slag–coke zone,” the “iron–coke zone,” and the “coke–free zone.” The average deadman voidage was calculated to be 54.75% (±0.85%), and the coke particle size was (21.47 ± 0.53) mm (±0.53 mm), based on image processing techniques. A “slag + CaS isolation layer” was identified on the outer surface of the deadman coke during the dissolution and erosion process of hot metal analysis of the “slag–iron–coke” three-phase microstructure indicated that this layer suppressed the carburization reaction and represented the most limiting factor for deadman coke renewal. A coke renewal formula was established from the coke dissolution experiments, and the renewal time was calculated to be 14.74 d. The renewal mechanism of deadman coke was elucidated through comprehensive analysis, and recommendations for low-carbon operation were proposed. These findings provide a scientific basis and theoretical guidance for low-carbon production and fuel optimization in ironmaking blast furnaces.
