Description

  The present invention uses a method of reducing iron-containing materials using a mobile hearth furnace, which raises the temperature of the load on the hearth in the process of moving the hearth horizontally in a heating furnace, The present invention relates to a method for producing reduced iron from iron ore containing a high concentration.

  The crude steel production method is roughly classified into a blast furnace-converter method in which pig iron is produced from iron ore to produce steel, and an electric furnace method in which scrap is melted and refined. With the rise of emerging countries such as China, the global production of crude steel is increasing rapidly. Especially, the supply and demand of iron ore used in the blast furnace-converter method is tight, the price rises, and high-quality iron ore It is the situation of today's iron resources that stones are becoming difficult to obtain.

  In addition to the above, a method for producing reduced iron using a mobile hearth furnace is also known. The moving hearth furnace method is one of the processes for producing reduced metal typified by reduced iron. Iron ore and solid reductant are loaded on the hearth moving in the horizontal direction, and radiant heat transfer is performed from above. Heated iron ore is reduced to produce reduced iron (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  On the other hand, as with iron ore, the demand for zinc is increasing rapidly all over the world, and price increases are a problem. There are various methods for refining zinc, but it is common to make zinc oxide by oxidizing and roasting sulfide ore and then refining it wet or dry to obtain zinc metal. With regard to this zinc as well, there is a problem of shortage of zinc raw materials such as sulfide ore and zinc oxide.

  As described above, in the situation where shortage of resources such as iron raw materials and zinc raw materials has become a problem, the present inventors include high zinc content iron ore containing more zinc than usual in iron ore. Focused on stone. Such a high zinc content iron ore is desirably used as a raw material in the blast furnace-converter method, but a raw material having a high zinc content is hardly used. The main reason is that zinc contained in the ore remains in the blast furnace as a furnace wall deposit. The zinc content in the ore is brought into the blast furnace through a sintering process. Zinc brought into the blast furnace is reduced and vaporized in the furnace, but oxidizes and aggregates in a portion having a low temperature and a high oxidation potential. The inner wall of the blast furnace shaft is particularly prone to agglomerate, adhering surrounding coke and ore and immobilizing the filler. Such a non-moving part is called “Anzats”, which makes the descending of the charged material in the furnace unstable and causes troubles such as “shelf fishing” and “slip”.

  Thus, although it is a zinc component which can be said to be a cause of trouble in blast furnace operation, it is also a valuable metal. Zinc is an indispensable metal, for example, as a battery raw material, as well as a plating material for improving the corrosion resistance of the steel sheet surface. As mentioned above, it is common to oxidize and bake sulfide ore to make zinc oxide and smelt it wet or dry to obtain zinc metal. A method of obtaining zinc oxide and using it as a raw material for zinc smelting has also been proposed.

  For example, in the case of crude zinc oxide having a zinc concentration exceeding 10 mass%, an intermediate treatment such as the Welts method can be performed to obtain a high concentration of crude zinc oxide, which can be used as a zinc smelting raw material. In the case of crude zinc oxide having a zinc concentration exceeding 50 mass%, it can be used directly as crude zinc oxide used for zinc refining such as the ISP method.

  The use of crude zinc oxide varies greatly depending on the zinc concentration recovered in this way. Naturally, the higher the zinc concentration, the more economical value, but the reduction that achieves both the production of reduced iron and high-concentration crude zinc oxide. No iron production method has been proposed.

  The objective of this invention is providing the reduced iron manufacturing method using the high zinc content iron ore which solves such a subject and enables the effective utilization of the high zinc content iron ore.

Schematic which shows one Embodiment of the equipment flow used by this invention (collected dust utilization). The graph which shows the change of the zinc concentration with respect to the compounding rate of the high zinc content ore of a mixed raw material.

  The present inventors have considered using a mobile hearth furnace in order to effectively use the iron content and further the zinc content using a high zinc content iron ore. The method for producing reduced iron using a mobile hearth furnace is one of the processes for producing reduced iron as described above, and iron ore and solid reductant are loaded on the hearth moving in the horizontal direction. Is heated by radiant heat transfer to reduce iron ore to produce reduced iron.

  This movable hearth furnace is a furnace that heats in the process of the horizontal movement of the hearth of the heating furnace, and the horizontally moving hearth has a form of rotational movement as shown in FIG. This type of mobile hearth furnace is typically called a rotary hearth furnace. In the present invention, reduced iron is produced by reducing iron-rich iron ore using such a mobile hearth furnace, particularly a rotary hearth furnace. Below, this invention is demonstrated about the case where a rotary hearth furnace is used as a mobile hearth furnace.

The high zinc content iron ore used in the present invention has a high zinc content compared to the iron ore used as a normal blast furnace raw material, and generally contains 0.01 mass% or more of zinc and 50 mass% or more of iron. Iron ore. Although there is no restriction | limiting in the upper limit of the zinc content and iron content of the high zinc content iron ore used by this invention, it is decided naturally from being an iron ore, for example, about 0.5 mass% or less about zinc, and about 70 mass about iron, for example. % Or less. The content of the alkali components Na ₂ O, K ₂ O or the like of the high zinc-containing iron ore is usually more than 0.08 mass% in terms of oxide. The content of the alkali component is preferably 1% by mass or less, which is effective in preventing clogging of the rotary hearth furnace exhaust gas system.

  The present invention is a technique for producing reduced iron using such high zinc-containing iron ore. When reducing high zinc-containing iron ore in a rotary hearth furnace, ordinary iron ore is mixed and used. Is also possible. Even when it is used by mixing with ordinary iron ore, the effect of the present invention can be suitably obtained when the high zinc-containing iron ore is blended by about 10 mass% or more of the whole ore.

  An embodiment of a rotary hearth furnace used in the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary hearth furnace 1 covers a hearth 3 that rotates and moves in a furnace body 2 partitioned into a pre-tropical zone 2a, a reduction zone 2b, and a cooling zone 2d. On the rotary hearth 3, a mixed raw material 4 in which a high zinc-containing iron ore and a carbon-based solid reducing material are mixed is loaded. The mixed raw material 4 can also be agglomerated as described below. The furnace body 2 covering the rotary hearth 3 is stretched with a refractory. Further, in order to protect the hearth refractory, there is a case where a carbon material is loaded on the hearth 3 and the mixed raw material 4 is laminated thereon. Also, a burner 5 is installed in the furnace body 2, and the iron ore in the mixed raw material 4 on the rotary hearth 3 is reduced using the heat of fuel combustion in the burner 5 as a heat source. In FIG. 1, 6 is a charging device for charging the mixed raw material onto the rotary hearth 3, 7 is a discharging device for discharging the reduced product, and 8 is a cooling device. Generally, the furnace temperature is suppressed to about 1300 ° C. This is because it is effective in extending the furnace refractory life. The present invention does not actively melt the mixed raw material, but a case where a part of the mixed raw material melts during the reduction process is also included in the scope of the present invention.

High zinc-containing iron ore contains a gangue component, although the amount varies depending on the place of production. Moreover, ash is contained in coal, coal char, and coke, which are representative examples of carbon-based solid reducing materials. Therefore, unlike the blast furnace-converter method, the moving hearth furnace method that performs only the reduction operation inevitably contains gangue in the reduced iron that is the product, and the ash content from the reducing material is also in the product. There is a possibility of adhering and mixing. Therefore, the reduced iron obtained in the present invention is not sufficiently separated from the gangue component and ash, so the apparent density (however, the state before being compressed and discharged from the rotary hearth furnace). It is in a state of less than 5000 kg / m ³ .

  When a high zinc content iron ore is reduced using a rotary hearth furnace, the iron ore is mixed with a carbon-based solid reducing material and loaded on a rotating hearth. The carbon-based solid reducing material is coal, coke, graphite or the like.

  When the high zinc-containing iron ore is a lump ore, it can be reduced to, for example, an ore powder having a particle diameter of 10 mm or less after being pulverized, and then mixed with a carbon-based solid reducing material and loaded on a rotary hearth.

  When the high zinc-containing iron ore is a fine ore (particle size of 3 mm or less), it can be agglomerated together with a carbon-based solid reducing material and used as a carbon material-containing pellet. The agglomerated raw material is less scattered during heating and can improve the zinc concentration of dust. Similarly, it can be compression molded and used as a briquette. Further, at the time of agglomeration, an inorganic binder such as bentonite and an organic binder such as molasses and corn starch can be mixed to further increase the strength. These pellets and briquettes can be used after the moisture is evaporated.

  On the other hand, it is also effective to use high zinc-containing iron ore as it is in powder form. By using the powder raw material as it is, the cost of equipment for producing the lump, the power for producing the lump, the cost of the binder, etc. are not required, which can contribute to the improvement of economy.

  The heating temperature for reducing the high zinc-containing iron ore in the rotary hearth furnace is preferably 1250 ° C. or higher. By setting the maximum temperature in the rotary hearth furnace to 1250 ° C. or higher, the raw material to be reduced in the furnace and the furnace becomes high temperature. By setting it as 1250 degreeC or more, a reduction reaction becomes quick and it becomes possible to manufacture reduced iron at high speed. In the present invention, the upper limit of the heating temperature is a temperature at which the mixed raw material is not completely melted (less than 1450 ° C.), but is controlled to be less than 1400 ° C. in normal operation.

  By loading a carbonaceous material on the hearth and laminating a mixed raw material containing high-zinc-containing iron ore on the carbonaceous material, it is possible to prevent the partially molten mixed raw material from attacking the refractory in the hearth. Is possible. Since iron is taken into the refractory during refractory erosion, iron loss is reduced by preventing erosion of the refractory in the hearth, which can contribute to improved productivity of reduced iron.

  Dust contained in the exhaust gas generated in the rotary hearth furnace is recovered. Since this dust concentrates zinc compared to high zinc iron ore, it can be used as a raw material for crude zinc oxide. FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a general equipment flow of a rotary hearth furnace that performs such dust recovery.

  In FIG. 2, iron ore and coal discharged from the ore hopper 11 and the coal hopper 12 are mixed by a mixer 14 (using a pelletizer or the like as necessary) to be a mixed raw material, and heated in a rotary hearth furnace 15. It is reduced to become reduced iron and discharged from the reduced iron discharge port 16. The exhaust gas generated in the rotary hearth furnace 15 is sucked by the suction fan 19 and discharged from the chimney 20. At this time, dust is collected by the bag filter 17 for the exhaust gas duct. The collected dust is carried out using a powder conveying lorry 18 or the like. In the mixed raw material, when the high zinc-containing iron ore is blended in an amount of about 10 mass% or more of the entire ore, the zinc concentration in the recovered dust can be set to 1 mass% or more.

  Dust recovered from the exhaust gas generated in the rotary hearth furnace as described above (hereinafter referred to as “first recovered dust”) is again processed by supplying heat from the upper part of the hearth in the rotary hearth furnace, By collecting the dust generated in the rotary hearth furnace, crude zinc oxide can be obtained. The dust recovered when the first recovered dust is treated again in the rotary hearth furnace is hereinafter referred to as “second recovered dust”. When the first recovered dust is processed in the rotary hearth furnace, only the first recovered dust needs to be processed, but from the viewpoint of promoting the reduction reaction, the first recovered dust is reduced in a small amount (relative to the first recovered dust). 2 mass% or less) carbon-based solid reducing material can be mixed. Thus, by refining the dust in the rotary hearth furnace again, the zinc in the first recovered dust can be concentrated as described below. When the zinc concentration in the first recovered dust is a predetermined amount or more, the production amount of reduced iron can be increased by mixing the first recovered dust with a carbon-based solid reducing material and iron ore. If the target zinc concentration in the second recovered dust is the same when the iron ore is mixed with the first recovered dust and processed, the amount of iron ore added can be increased by using high zinc-containing iron ore. It is preferable because a larger amount of reduced iron can be produced while concentrating zinc in the dust.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the concentration of zinc in the dust is performed by conveying the first recovered dust in the dust yard 23 using a powder conveying lorry 18 or the like and heating it in the rotary hearth furnace 15. It can be carried out by sucking the generated exhaust gas and collecting the dust with the bag filter 17 for the exhaust gas duct. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the first recovered dust storage hopper 22 can be provided in parallel with the mixed material hoppers 11 and 12. This facility is obtained by adding a collected dust transport conveyor 21 and a first collected dust storage hopper 22 to the facility shown in FIG. The recovered dust transport conveyor 21 is branched into 21a and 21b. The first recovered dust transport conveyor 21a transports the first recovered dust to the first recovered dust storage hopper 22 and heats it in the rotary hearth furnace 15. It can be reused and the second recovered dust can be extracted as a product by the second recovered dust transfer conveyor 21b. Since the second collected dust that is extracted is fine powder, it is transported using, for example, a powder transporting lorry 18.

  When mixing iron ore with dust, the first recovered dust is stored in the first recovered dust storage hopper 11, and a small amount of carbon-based solid reducing material and iron ore are blended to prepare the raw material for the rotary hearth furnace. And recovered as the second recovered dust when heated and reduced in the rotary hearth furnace 15.

  As described above, the second recovered dust containing crude zinc oxide has different uses depending on the zinc concentration, but the second recovered dust produced by the above method has a zinc concentration exceeding 10 mass%. By intermediate treatment such as a method, a high concentration of crude zinc oxide can be obtained, and it can be used as a zinc smelting raw material.

  Even if the ore is not a high-zinc-containing ore in the mixed raw material when collecting the first recovered dust, if the average zinc concentration in the ore is 0.005 mass% or more, it is processed in a rotary hearth furnace. The zinc concentration of the second recovered dust obtained in this manner can be 50 mass% or more. If the zinc concentration of the recovered dust to be obtained is 50 mass% or more, intermediate treatment is not necessary, and it can be used directly as crude zinc oxide used for zinc refining, which is preferable.

  As described above, when the recovered dust (first recovered dust) is processed again in the rotary hearth furnace, the zinc concentration in the recovered dust (second recovered dust) is improved and the economic efficiency is also improved. In addition, there is an advantage that the cost of constructing another facility (intermediate processing facility) for dust processing is unnecessary, and the cost of transporting the generated dust to the intermediate processing facility is unnecessary.

  In the above, the dust contained in the exhaust gas generated in the rotary hearth furnace was recovered and used, but some of the zinc-containing dust other than the recovered dust was partially reduced when the high zinc-containing iron ore was reduced in the rotary hearth furnace. It is also possible to use a mixture. In the present invention, the use of high zinc content iron ore is essential, and when the high zinc content iron ore is blended by about 10 mass% or more with respect to the total of zinc content dust other than iron ore and recovered dust, the effect of the present invention is achieved. It can be suitably obtained. In addition, by mixing dust having a higher zinc concentration than high zinc-containing iron ore, dust having a high concentration of crude zinc oxide is obtained in the dust recovered from the exhaust gas generated in the rotary hearth furnace as described above. be able to.

  As described above, recovered dust containing crude zinc oxide has different uses depending on the zinc concentration, but recovered dust produced using zinc-containing dust regardless of whether it is self-generated or externally generated has a zinc concentration exceeding 10 mass%. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high concentration of crude zinc oxide by an intermediate treatment such as the Wertz method, and it can be used as a zinc smelting raw material.

  The zinc-containing dust used in combination with the high-zinc-containing iron ore is not particularly limited. For example, use dust generated in the steel industry, such as dust generated from a blast furnace, dust generated from a converter, dust generated from an electric furnace, etc. I can do it.

  When the average zinc concentration in the mixed raw material is 0.45 mass% or more, the zinc concentration of the recovered dust obtained by the treatment in the rotary hearth furnace can be 50 mass% or more. If the zinc concentration of the recovered dust to be obtained is 50 mass% or more, intermediate treatment is not necessary, and it can be used directly as crude zinc oxide used for zinc refining, which is preferable.

  As described above, when reducing high zinc-containing iron ore in a rotary hearth furnace, the zinc concentration in the recovered dust is improved and the economic efficiency is improved by mixing and using the zinc-containing dust.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

A mixed raw material containing high zinc content iron ore and carbon-based solid reducing agent is loaded on the hearth of the rotary hearth furnace, heated and heated while moving inside the furnace by rotating the hearth, and added air or oxygen The blown air is blown into the furnace, and CO or H ₂ generated by the reduction reaction is subjected to secondary combustion. After the generated exhaust gas is cooled, the dust contained in the exhaust gas is recovered. The mixed raw material remaining on the hearth is sufficiently reduced to obtain reduced iron.

  On the other hand, the zinc content in the ore exists as zinc oxide, and is reduced and volatilized by the carbon-based solid reducing material, conveyed to the exhaust gas, and oxidized and aggregated simultaneously with cooling, separated from the exhaust gas, and recovered as dust. This dust is concentrated in zinc, and can be used as a raw material for zinc smelting by direct or re-refining process.

  Since the rotary hearth furnace does not have a packed bed, phenomena such as adhesion of coke and ore and immobilization of the packing due to the zinc content contained in the raw material adhering to the furnace wall as seen in a blast furnace occur. It will not interfere with operations.

  When the rotary hearth furnace is heated, the zinc component volatilizes and is transported to the exhaust gas. At the same time, a part of the mixed raw material loaded on the hearth is scattered and mixed with the recovered dust. Therefore, the zinc concentration in the recovered dust is determined by the amount of zinc that volatilizes and the amount of the mixed raw material that scatters. The higher the zinc concentration in the mixed raw material, the higher the zinc concentration of the recovered dust. According to the studies by the present inventors, it has been confirmed that the amount of the mixed raw material scattered is substantially constant in normal operation and is about 0.5 mass% of the mixed raw material input amount. Moreover, the value as a zinc raw material becomes high, so that the zinc concentration in dust is high. Therefore, by carrying out the present invention, dust with a high zinc concentration is recovered, and it becomes possible to use iron ore with high zinc content more effectively.

  Further, by using the dust recovered in all or part of the mixed raw material loaded on the rotary hearth furnace, it is possible to further concentrate and recover the zinc in the dust having a high zinc concentration.

  In order to confirm the effectiveness of the present invention, in a rotary hearth furnace similar to that shown in FIG. 1, a production test of reduced iron was conducted using a high zinc content iron ore and a general ore having a low zinc content. . Moreover, the dust generated in the rotary hearth furnace was recovered and the zinc concentration was also measured. Table 1 shows the specifications of the rotary hearth furnace.

  Table 2 shows the composition of the ore used. In Table 2, T-Fe is total Fe.

  Ore A is a high zinc content iron ore, and ore B is a common ore with a low zinc content. The gangue and iron contents are almost the same in both cases, but the zinc concentration of ore A is about 50 times that of ore B.

  The ore and coal as a carbon-based solid reducing material were mixed to obtain a mixed raw material. Table 3 shows the composition of the coal used, and Table 4 shows the composition of the mixed raw materials used in the test. In Table 3, FC is fixed carbon, VM is volatile, and Ash is ash.

  Using the formulations 1 to 3 shown in Table 4, the rotary hearth furnace was operated under the conditions shown in Table 5. When the mixed raw material is laminated on the hearth with 50 mm of coal as the carbon material, the lower layer carbonaceous material is present, and when the mixed raw material is loaded with about 10 mm and used, it is “powder”, agglomerated and granulated The case of pellets having a diameter of 10 to 15 mm is shown as “lumps” in the raw material column.

  Table 6 shows the results of dust zinc concentration and iron recovery rate when reduced iron was produced under the conditions shown in Table 5.

  In Table 6, the operation No. 3 is an example of the present invention using a high zinc content ore. The zinc concentration in the dust has increased to 7.6 mass%.

  Operation No. No. 4 is an example in which about 10 mass% of high zinc content iron ore is blended in general ore. Even in this case, the zinc concentration in the dust rises to 1.0 mass% or more.

  Operation No. No. 5 is heat-treated at a high temperature of 1250 ° C. or higher, and it can be seen that the processing time is shortened and the productivity is improved.

  Operation No. 6 is the operation No. In addition to 5, the mixed material is laminated on the hearth laid on the hearth, and the iron recovery rate is increasing.

  Operation No. 7 is the operation No. This is a case where a lump raw material is used in addition to 5, and the zinc concentration in the dust is increased.

  Next, the collected dust was recycled.

  In the same equipment as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 4, when conducting the production test of reduced iron using iron ore with high zinc content and general ores with low zinc content, the concentration of zinc in the ore and the recovered The relationship between the dust concentration and the zinc concentration was investigated. In the survey, ore A, which is a high zinc content ore, and ore B, which is a normal ore, are mixed and used. 11 to 19, the dust generated by the first treatment in the rotary hearth furnace (first recovered dust) is recovered, and the entire amount of recovered dust is subjected to a heat treatment at 1260 ° C. for 13 minutes in the rotary hearth furnace. The generated dust (second recovered dust) was recovered.

  Table 7 and FIG. 5 show the ore zinc concentration in the mixed raw material and the dust generated by the first treatment in the rotary hearth furnace, which is the raw material for the treatment in the second rotary hearth furnace. The measurement result of the zinc concentration of collection | recovery dust and the measurement result of the zinc concentration of the 2nd collection | recovery dust which is the final product dust are shown.

  As can be seen from Table 7 and FIG. 5, when the zinc concentration of the ore in the mixed raw material becomes 0.005 mass% or more, the zinc concentration of the second recovered dust that is product dust exceeds 50 mass%, and zinc refining such as ISP method is performed. It turns out that it becomes a raw material which can be used directly.

  Next, the raw material which mixed the high zinc content iron ore and the zinc content dust was used.

  Table 8 shows the composition of the used zinc-containing dust. Here, dust generated from the converter was used as zinc-containing dust.

In a facility similar to that shown in FIG. 1, when the production test of reduced iron is performed using high-zinc-containing iron ore and zinc-containing dust, the zinc concentration in the mixed raw material and the zinc concentration in the recovered dust The relationship was investigated. In the survey, ore A, which is a high-zinc-containing iron ore, and zinc-containing dust are mixed and used. The mixed raw material was heat-treated at 1260 ° C. for 13 minutes in a rotary hearth furnace, and the generated dust was recovered.

  Table 9 shows measurement results of the blending ratio and zinc concentration of the zinc-containing dust in the mixed raw material and the zinc concentration of the recovered dust.

  As can be seen from Table 9, when the zinc concentration of the recovered dust increases with an increase in the blending ratio of the zinc-containing dust in the mixed raw material, and the zinc concentration in the mixed raw material becomes 0.45 mass% or more, the recovered product dust It turns out that the zinc concentration of dust exceeds 50 mass%, and it becomes a raw material which can be directly used for zinc refining such as ISP method.

  As described above, by using the method of the present invention, it is possible to produce reduced iron using a high zinc-containing iron ore, and it is possible to effectively produce dust having a high zinc concentration as compared with the case where a conventional ore is used. It became possible to collect.
