DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present invention rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Example 1

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, a directional preparation technology of semi-coke for blast furnace injection includes the following steps:

[0047] (1) Raw coal for preparing semi-coke was selected, the components of the raw coal are shown in Table 1, and the raw coal was dried and screened to obtain raw coal with a particle size of 5-20 mm.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Technical indexes of raw coal and target semi- coke (taking dry basis as analysis basis) Fixed Volatile Coal type Ash/% carbon/% matters/% Raw coal 1 10.49 52.83 36.68 Target semi-coke 1 12 77.29 10.71 Target semi-coke 1-1 14.79 74.5 10.71 (without removing ash) Target semi-coke 1-2 13.20 76.09 10.71 (without removing ash) Raw coal 2 6.39 58.19 35.42 Target semi-coke 2 8.02 73.03 18.95 Target semi-coke 2-1 8.71 72.34 18.95 Raw coal 3 6.15 59.80 34.05 Target semi-coke 3 7.29 70.88 21.82 Target semi-coke 3-1 9.05 69.13 21.82

[0048] (2) The content of volatile matters in target semi-coke 1 was pre-designed to be 10.71%, and then, when the ash removal treatment was not performed on the raw coal (as shown in the coal type of target semi-coke 1-1 (without removing ash) in Table 1), after the volatile matters were removed, the ash content obtained through theoretical calculation was 14.79% which was greater than 12%, so ash removal pretreatment needed to be performed on the raw coal. According to the percentages of ash, fixed carbon and volatile matters in the target semi-coke 1 in Table 1, a volatile matter removal percentage W.sub.B.sub.removal can be obtained according to the following formula:

[00006]$\begin{array}{c}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{removal}}}=\frac{W_{C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{coal}}}-W_{C_{\mathrm{coal}}}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}}{W_{C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}}\\ =\frac{77.29\%\times 36.68\%-52.83\%\times 10.71\%}{77.29\%}\\ =29.36\%\end{array}$

[0049] And then,

[00007]$\begin{array}{c}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{removal}}}=29.36\%\ge \frac{W_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}-W_{A_{\mathrm{coal}}}}{W_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}}\\ =\frac{12\%-10.49\%}{12\%}\\ =12.58\%.\end{array}$

[0050] Therefore, the ash removal treatment needed to be performed on the raw coal.

[0051] In the formula, W.sub.C.sub.semi-coke represents a content of fixed carbon in the target semi-coke, W.sub.C.sub.coal represents a content of fixed carbon in the raw coal, W.sub.B.sub.coal represents a content of volatile matters in the raw coal, and W.sub.B.sub.semi-coke represents a content of volatile matters in the semi-coke.

[0052] Then, the ash removal percentage was calculated according to Formula (1):

[00008]$\begin{array}{c}{W}_{A_{\mathrm{removal}}}=\frac{W_{A_{\mathrm{coal}}}-W_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}\left(1-W_{B_{\mathrm{removal}}}\right)}{1-W_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}}\\ =\frac{10.49\%-12\%\times \left(1-29.36\%\right)}{1-12\%}\\ =2.28\%\end{array}$

[0053] or the ash removal percentage could also be obtained by the following formula:

[00009]$\begin{array}{c}{W}_{A_{\mathrm{removal}}}=\frac{\left(W_{C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}{W}_{A_{\mathrm{coal}}}-W_{C_{\mathrm{coal}}}{W}_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}\right)\times \left(1-W_{B_{\mathrm{removal}}}\right)}{W_{C_{\mathrm{coal}}}+W_{C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}{W}_{A_{\mathrm{coal}}}-W_{C_{\mathrm{coal}}}{W}_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}}\\ =\frac{\left(77.29\%\times 10.19\%-52.83\%\times 12\%\right)\times \left(1-29.36\%\right)}{52.83\%+77.29\%\times 10.49\%-52.83\%\times 12\%}\\ =2.28\%\end{array}$

[0054] According to the as removal percentage, the raw coal was treated by a heavy medium coal preparation technology to remove ash, that was, in a process of gravity concentration, water or air with a density lower than that of the selected ore was used as a separating medium, the raw coal was reversely separated in a heavy medium according to the difference in particle density, and the ash percentage of the raw coal after ash removal was about 8.21%. In the disclosure, the ash removal percentage is correlated with the volatile matter removal percentage in the raw coal, and the content of volatile matters in the target semi-coke can be pre-designed. The volatile matter removal percentage can be obtained according to the content of volatile matters in the semi-coke, and then, according to the volatile matter removal percentage, whether the ash needs to be removed is determined and the ash removal percentage is obtained. As a result, whether the raw coal needs to be subjected to ash removal pretreatment can be determined, and preparation parameters such as the volatile matter removal percentage and the ash removal percentage can be directionally designed according to the target semi-coke.

[0055] (3) Dry distillation was performed on the raw coal treated in step (2) to remove part of volatile matters, and a method for determining a carbonization temperature of dry distillation included: guided by the preset volatile matter removal percentage 29.36% in step S12, a plurality of groups of carbonization temperatures and carbonization times of dry distillation were preliminarily determined, as shown in Table 2.

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 A plurality of groups of carbonization temperatures and carbonization times Group 1 2 3 4 5 Carbonization temperature 300 400 500 600 700 (° C.) Carbonization time (min) 120 120 90 60 30

[0056] According to the plurality of groups of the carbonization temperatures and carbonization times, dry distillation and carbonization were performed on the raw coal at different carbonization temperatures and carbonization times to prepare semi-coke, and the injection performance of the semi-coke under different process conditions was analyzed to respectively obtain relationships between parameters of the semi-coke including combustion rate, grindability index, explosibility index and jet flow index and the carbonization temperature, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 6. The combustion rate was measured by a comprehensive thermal analyzer; the grindability index was measured by a Hastelloy grinder; and the jet flow performance was measured by a comprehensive powder performance tester.

[0057] According to the relationship between the explosibility index and the carbonization temperature in FIG. 3, it can be seen that when the explosibility index is 200 mm, the temperature is about 400° C., so the lower limit value of the carbonization temperature is 400° C. Then, according to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, it can be concluded that when the combustion rate, the grindability index and the jet flow index are all higher, the upper limit value of the carbonization temperature is determined to be 500° C. Therefore, an optimal interval of the actual carbonization temperature is 400-500° C.

[0058] A blast furnace requires an injection fuel to have high combustibility, high grindability, high safety and high injection performance, so suitable semi-coke needs to have the characteristics of good combustibility, no explosibility as well as good grindability and jet flow performance while the components meet the requirements. Therefore, relationships between different carbonization temperatures and performance parameters such as combustion rate, grindability index, explosibility index and jet flow index are established to determine an optimal carbonization temperature.

[0059] (4) Dry distillation and carbonization were performed in the optimal interval of the actual carbonization temperature, and the carbonization time was determined by the same method as step (3). The carbonization temperature and the carbonization time were determined by parameters such as heating gas temperature and charge rate, so that the heating gas temperature and the charge rate during dry distillation and carbonization were further determined so as to perform carbonization. After the carbonization was completed, a dry quenching process was used to cool the semi-coke, that was, high-temperature semi-coke discharged from a carbonization furnace was filled into a dry quenching furnace through a collection tank, the cooling inert gas was blown into the bottom of the dry quenching furnace to exchange heat with the high-temperature semi-coke in the furnace, the high-temperature semi-coke was gradually cooled and then discharged from the bottom of the furnace, and high-temperature flue gas was discharged from the top of the furnace and then recycled after cooling and dust removal. Then, pulverization was performed to obtain pulverized semi-coke, and the mass percentage of the pulverized semi-coke with a particle size of less than 0.074 mm was not less than 75%. The performance parameters of the prepared semi-coke are shown in Table 3.

TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Performance parameters of semi-coke Low 700° C. Jet calorific Combustion Explo- flow Performance value rate sibility Grind- perfor- index (kJ/kg) (%) (mm) ability mance Semi-coke 30224.07 81 10 65 72

[0060] It can be seen from Table 3 that the semi-coke prepared by the disclosure has good combustion performance, weak explosibility, high grindability and high jet flow performance.

[0061] In view of the difference between actual carbonization results of the raw coal and theoretical calculations, the disclosure performs actual carbonization treatment on the raw coal which is not subjected to ash removal treatment (as shown in coal type of target semi-coke 1-2 (without removing ash) in Table 1), and tests the technical indexes of the obtained semi-coke to verify the difference between actual values and theoretical calculations (as shown in coal type of target semi-coke 1-1 (without removing ash) in Table 1). The content of volatile matters in the target semi-coke is pre-designed to be 10.71%, carbonization treatment is performed on the raw coal by methods substantially the same as those in steps (3) and (4), and finally obtained actual values are as shown in coal type of target semi-coke 1-2 (without removing ash) in Table 1.

Example 2

[0062] A directional preparation technology of semi-coke for blast furnace injection includes the following steps:

[0063] Raw coal for preparing semi-coke was selected, the components of the raw coal 2 are shown in Table 1, and the raw coal was dried and screened to obtain raw coal with a particle size of 5-20 mm.

[0064] According to the percentages of ash, fixed carbon and volatile matters in the target semi-coke 2 in Table 1, a volatile matter removal percentage could be calculated by the same method as in Example 1:

[00010]$\begin{array}{c}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{removal}}}=\frac{W_{C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{coal}}}-W_{C_{\mathrm{coal}}}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}}{W_{C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}}}\\ =\frac{73.03\%\times 35.42\%-58.19\%\times 18.59\%}{73.03\%}\\ =20.32\%\end{array}$

[0065] and then,

[00011]$\begin{array}{c}{W}_{B_{\mathrm{removal}}}=20.32\%\le \frac{W_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}-W_{A_{\mathrm{coal}}}}{W_{A_{\mathrm{standard}}}}\\ =\frac{12\%-6.39\%}{12\%}\\ =46.75\%.\end{array}$

[0066] Therefore, ash removal treatment was not needed.

[0067] (3) Dry distillation was performed on the raw coal treated in step (2) to remove part of volatile matters, and a method for determining a carbonization temperature of dry distillation included: guided by the preset volatile matter removal percentage 20.17% in step S12, a plurality of groups of carbonization temperatures and carbonization times of dry distillation were preliminarily determined, as shown in Table 4.

TABLE-US-00004 TABLE 4 A plurality of groups of carbonization temperatures and carbonization times Group 1 2 3 4 5 Carbonization temperature 300 400 500 600 700 (° C.) Carbonization time (h) 120 120 90 60 30

[0068] Other steps were substantially the same as those in Example 1, and are not repeated here. The performance parameters of the finally prepared semi-coke are shown in Table 5.

TABLE-US-00005 TABLE 5 Performance parameters of semi-coke Low calorific Combustion Explo- Jet flow Performance value rate sibility Grind- perfor- index (kJ/kg) (%) (mm) ability mance Semi-coke 29968.37 85 100 62 70

[0069] It can be seen from Table 5 that the semi-coke prepared by the disclosure has better combustion performance, weak explosibility, high grindability and high jet flow performance.

[0070] Actual carbonization treatment was performed on the target semi-coke 2, the technical indexes of the actually obtained semi-coke are shown in target semi-coke 2-1 in Table 1, and the content of ash in the actually obtained semi-coke is slightly greater than a theoretical value, but still less than 12%, so the requirement for ash in the semi-coke for blast furnace injection is meet.

Example 3

[0071] A directional preparation technology of semi-coke for blast furnace injection included: raw coal for preparing semi-coke was selected, the components of raw coal 3 and target semi-coke 3 are shown in Table 1, and the raw coal was dried and screened to obtain raw coal with a particle size of 5-20 mm.

[0072] Other steps were substantially the same as those in Example 1, and are not repeated here. The performance parameters of the finally prepared semi-coke are shown in Table 6.

TABLE-US-00006 TABLE 6 Performance parameters of semi-coke Low calorific Combustion Explo- Jet flow Performance value rate sibility Grind- perfor- index (kJ/kg) (%) (mm) ability mance Semi-coke 28837.58 90 400 65 69

[0073] It should be noted that for smelting in different blast furnaces, the requirements for the upper limit value of pulverized coal ash are different. For a small blast furnace, the upper limit value may be 12%, and for a large blast furnace, the upper limit value may preferably be 9%, which is much strict.

[0074] The content of ash in the target semi-coke 3 is also slightly greater than a theoretical value, but still less than 12%, so the requirement for ash in the semi-coke for blast furnace injection is meet. Therefore, in actual production, the theoretical value can be calculated by reducing the W.sub.A.sub.standard value, and then, carbonization process parameters can be designed according to the theoretical value to ensure that the actually obtained semi-coke meets the requirement for blast furnace injection.

Example 4

[0075] An optimization method for efficient use of semi-coke for blast furnace injection included the following steps:

[0076] (1) Bituminous coal and the semi-coke prepared in Example 1 were used as a mixed fuel, and technical indexes of the mixed fuel are shown in Table 7 and Table 8. The combustion rates in Table 8 are obtained by actually testing the bituminous coal and the semi-coke.

TABLE-US-00007 TABLE 7 Performance parameters of bituminous coal and semi-coke Fixed Volatile Ash carbon matters Coal type % % % Bituminous coal 6.59 59.61 33.80 Semi-coke 12 77.29 10.71

[0077] The relationship between the cost performance evaluation coefficient and the proportion of bituminous coal was obtained according to the following formula:

[00012]$R=\frac{Q_{\mathrm{low}}\times \eta }{\begin{array}{c}\left(C_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}\times W_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}+C_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}\times W_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}\right)+\\ \frac{60}{H_{\mathrm{mixing}}}\times C_{\mathrm{pulverizing}}+\frac{70}{I_{\mathrm{mixing}}}\times C_{\mathrm{injection}}\end{array}}{H}_{\mathrm{mixing}}=H_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}\times W_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}+H_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}\times W_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}{I}_{\mathrm{mixing}}=I_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}\times W_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}+I_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}\times W_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}{W}_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}=1-W_{\mathrm{low}-\mathrm{rank}\mathrm{coal}}$

[0078] wherein the low calorific value Q.sub.low was determined and calculated according to the international standard ISO1928:1995 or calculated according to the Mendeleev's empirical formula.

[0079] An interval with larger R was selected as a proportion interval of bituminous coal, specifically as shown in Table 9. In this case, as the proportion of the semi-coke increased, the low calorific value of the mixed fuel gradually increased, the combustion rate gradually decreased, and the cost decreased. Based on the calculation of the cost performance evaluation coefficient, it could be seen that in this case, as the proportion of the semi-coke increased, the cost performance index of the mixed fuel first increased and then decreased. When the proportion of the semi-coke was about 40%, the maximum was reached.

[0080] By using the above formula of the cost performance evaluation coefficient as a main determinant of a blending scheme, the combustion performance during blast furnace injection and the purchase cost, pulverizing cost and delivery cost of the injection fuel can be taken into consideration at the same time, and the obtained cost performance evaluation coefficient has high reliability and rationality and has relatively strong guiding significance for an actual blending scheme of the blast furnace injection fuel. By using this cost performance evaluation coefficient, a blending scheme can be obtained quickly and accurately so as to realize the economic maximization and value maximization of the semi-coke in blast furnace injection.

[0081] (2) Based on the principle that the content of volatile matters in the injection fuel is less than 25% specified in the national standard, the maximum proportion of the bituminous coal in the mixed fuel was calculated according to the following formula:

[00013]$W_{\mathrm{bituminous}\mathrm{coal}}=\frac{\left(25\%-V_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}\right)}{\left(V_{\mathrm{bituminous}\mathrm{coal}}-V_{\mathrm{semi}-\mathrm{coke}}\right)}\times 100\%=57.27\%$

[0082] in the formula, W.sub.bituminouscoal represents a proportion percentage of the low-rank coal, V.sub.semi-coke represents a content of volatile matters in the semi-coke, and V.sub.bituminouscoal represents a percentage of volatile matters in the low-rank coal.

[0083] (3) In proportion intervals of the bituminous coal determined by step (2) and step (3), an explosibility test was sequentially performed on the mixed fuel composed of low-rank coal and semi-coke in proportions corresponding to cost performance evaluation coefficients from high to low, so as to verify whether there was strong or weak explosibility, and when there was no strong explosibility, an optimal blending scheme of the mixed fuel was obtained. Experimental results show that the optimal blending scheme is: 57.27% of bituminous coal+43.73% of semi-coke.

[0084] An optimization method for efficient use of semi-coke for blast furnace injection used bituminous coal and the semi-coke prepared in Example 2 as a mixed fuel. Other steps are substantially the same as those in Example 4, and are not repeated here.

[0085] Experimental results show that the optimal blending scheme is: 59.25% of semi-coke+40.75% of bituminous coal.

Example 6

[0086] An optimization method for efficient use of semi-coke for blast furnace injection used bituminous coal and the semi-coke prepared in Example 3 as a mixed fuel. Other steps are substantially the same as those in Example 4, and are not repeated here.

[0087] Experimental results show that the optimal blending scheme is: 73.48% of semi-coke++26.52% of bituminous coal.

[0088] In conclusion, in the directional preparation technology of semi-coke for blast furnace injection and the optimization method for efficient use of semi-coke for blast furnace injection provided by the disclosure, according to the volatile matter and ash contents of the target semi-coke, the volatile matter removal percentage and the ash removal percentage are obtained, then a plurality of groups of dry distillation and carbonization temperatures and carbonization times are designed, relationships between the carbonization temperature and blast furnace injection performance parameters are established through experiments of a small amount of raw materials, so as to obtain an optimal actual carbonization temperature, and finally, the high-performance semi-coke is obtained through carbonization. According to cost performance evaluation coefficients, based on the principle that the content of volatile matters is less than 25% and there is no strong explosibility, an optimal proportion of semi-coke to low-rank coal can be obtained quickly and accurately. The disclosure expands the application of semi-coke in blast furnace injection, and can realize efficient injection as well as energy saving and emission reduction.
