Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention uses a dust agglomerated ore, a self-reducing ore ingot, reduced iron, iron scrap, etc. as an iron source to efficiently produce pig iron at a low fuel ratio regardless of the properties of the solid fuel. The present invention relates to a raw fuel charging method that enables continuous melting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Although various methods have been developed so far for producing pig iron from unreduced ore, the blast furnace method is still the mainstream. In this blast furnace method, the raw material charged from the furnace top is sufficiently preheated by the high-temperature gas flowing from bottom to top while descending,
Iron oxide is indirectly reduced by carbon monoxide (CO) at a rate of 60% or more. In the blast furnace method, in order to secure such an indirect reduction rate, a raceway space is provided in front of the tuyere,
Here, a reducing gas of η _CO (= CO ₂ / (CO + CO ₂ )) = 0 is produced. Further, in order to raise the temperature of the fuel gas which becomes the above-mentioned high temperature gas, the blast temperature is set to 1
The temperature is set to 000 ° C or higher.

However, in a melting furnace using an iron source such as dust agglomerated ore, reduced iron, and iron scrap as a main raw material, it is less necessary to produce a reducing gas at the tuyere, and therefore coke in front of the tuyere. It is effective to utilize the combustion of as a means to secure a heat source for raising or melting the raw fuel.
For example, the main purpose is to dissolve iron sources such as iron scraps, casting scraps, and pig iron, and a reducing function is required. In the cupola method, the raw materials are usually mixed and charged, and η _CO = 40 to 50%. Under conditions
Dissolving the iron source. In order to obtain such a gas composition, in the cupola method, a large-diameter coke for casting having a particle size of 100 to 150 mm is used, thereby suppressing a solution loss reaction after coke combustion. However, since large-diameter coke for casting is expensive, it is considered effective to use coke having a small particle size in order to reduce fuel cost. However, in this case, the solution loss reaction rate, which is an endothermic reaction, increases and the fuel efficiency η _{CO of the} coke decreases. As a result, the heat of fusion decreases and stable operation becomes difficult.

On the other hand, there are few examples of the operation of a vertical furnace which uses a self-reducing ore block or iron scrap as a main raw material and performs melting until a reducing function is required. In such a vertical furnace, unlike the blast furnace, a raceway is not provided and the blast temperature is 60
The operation is carried out at a temperature as low as 0 ° C or lower. Goksel et al. (Tran
sactions of the American Foundryme's Society Vol 8
5 AFSDes Plaines, 111, (1977), p327-332), there is a report of a test conducted with a hot air cupola having a blowing temperature of 450 ° C. and using 5% by weight of C-containing pellets. Alternatively, there is no example of operation in the case of large-scale compounding.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-501401 discloses a hot metal manufacturing apparatus comprising a blast furnace having a secondary tuyere and a hearth having a diameter larger than the diameter of the blast furnace and having a primary tuyere. Have been. In this furnace, only the iron source is charged from the top of the furnace, and the fuel is directly added to the fuel bed existing at the joint between the blast furnace and the hearth. Therefore, since the inside of the blast furnace is an ore layer without fuel,
The solution loss reaction due to the solid fuel does not proceed, the exhaust gas composition has a high value of CO ₂ / (CO + CO ₂ ), and efficient operation can be expected. In this furnace, the self-reducing ore mass as a main raw material reacts with bed coke in the hearth portion to generate smelting reduction which is an endothermic reaction. However, 2
In the next tuyere, an exothermic reaction as shown in the following formula (1) occurs, and it is considered that this heat is directed to preheating, heating, or melting of the ore to obtain hot metal. CO + (1/2) O ₂ → CO ₂ +67590 kcal / kmolt ・ CO ・ ・ ・ (1)

In this case, however, the fuel is not charged from the top of the blast furnace, but only the ore is charged. Therefore, when continuous operation is performed for a long time, the bed coke carburizes the hot metal with the lapse of the operation time. It is not preferable because it becomes consumed. Further, as is clear from the Fe—C—O equilibrium phase diagram, in a gas composition with a high degree of oxidation of η _CO ≧ 30% and in an environment at a temperature of 1000 ° C. or higher, even if it is a self-reducing ore ingot, FeO Since the gas reduction from Fe to Fe is difficult to proceed, smelting reduction is unavoidable in the lower part of the furnace, which may lead to increased consumption of bed coke, lower furnace heat, or poor ventilation due to increased melt volume. Furthermore, the ore contacts the furnace wall in the high temperature zone when it is fused and melted, and becomes an adhered substance, which causes hanging. In addition to these problems, the shape of the furnace becomes complicated, so there is a problem in terms of cooling the furnace body during the scale-up festival, and it is considered difficult to increase the size.

On the other hand, regarding the mutual relationship between the addition position and the primary tuyere when the fuel is added from the joint between the blast furnace and the hearth,
It is not specifically described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-501401. However, judging from FIG. 2 of the publication, the primary tuyere is installed in the middle of the adjacent fuel addition position. In a furnace having a hearth average diameter D ≧ 1.00 m, if the primary tuyere exists between the adjacent fuel addition positions, 1
The coke burned at the next tuyere is replenished with the charge directly above. Therefore, in this case, the ore that has fallen from the upper part of the furnace is in a state of replacing the burned coke, and the added fuel is not considered to fall smoothly, and there is a high possibility that the operation will be disabled.

[0008]

Conventional melting furnace operations for iron sources have necessitated the use of expensive large diameter coke. On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-501401, a melting furnace having a complicated furnace body structure was devised, and the use of small coke and the large amount of self-reducing ore ingot were used.
We devised a technology aimed at reducing the fuel ratio with high combustion efficiency η _CO . However, there still remain problems that hinder stable operation for a long period of time, such as the problem that hanging is likely to occur and the problem of bed coke consumption. In addition, there is a facility problem in scale-up. As described above, in the conventional technology for dissolving self-reducing ore and iron scraps, it has been considered that long-term stable operation toward a low fuel ratio is difficult if a large amount of small solid fuel is used. The problem to be solved in the present invention is to reduce the combustion efficiency ηCO of the solid fuel even when using a solid fuel having a particle size smaller than that of the casting coke, and avoid hanging, thereby achieving an efficient operation. To make it possible.

[0009]

According to the present invention, a raw fuel charging method for an iron source such as a self-reducing ore mass, a dust agglomerated ore and iron scrap and a small solid fuel is not limited in terms of equipment and scale. This is a consideration for a normal vertical furnace, which is considered to be easy to upgrade. When the raw fuel is charged, the weight ratio of the iron source / solid fuel is changed for each charging charge, and the radial direction of the furnace is changed. That is, it is characterized in that it is charged separately into the furnace peripheral portion and the furnace central portion.

Specifically, for example, in order to avoid hanging from a shelf, dust agglomerates or self-reducing ores that are charged in the peripheral area of the furnace should be mixed with solid fuel before charging, and small solids. Fuel should be charged in the peripheral area of the furnace and be actively used. In the peripheral area, a large amount of solid fuel should be charged in comparison with the central area. It is important to reduce the coke consumption of some parts. Therefore, in the present invention, in the furnace central part, a high reduction rate iron source, for example, iron scrap, casting scrap, and pig iron are charged, and at least the solid fuel of the carburizing part is arranged to be replenished, and further, It is considered that the solid fuel charged in the center is large-diameter coke.

That is, the method of charging raw material fuel such as dust agglomerated ore, self-reducing ore mass, iron scrap, and solid fuel into the vertical furnace of the present invention has the following points. A vertical furnace with one or more tuyeres in the furnace height direction on the wall of the shaft is used. 2 charges or more when charging an iron source and a solid fuel containing 80% by weight or more of any one or two or more of reducing ore, reduced iron, iron scrap, casting scrap, and pig iron Is set as one cycle, the iron source / solid fuel weight ratio is changed for each charge in each cycle, and if necessary, the type of iron source and / or
Alternatively, the particle size of the solid fuel is also changed, and the same charging is repeated in cycle units.

[0012] At that time, an iron source requiring a reducing function is provided around the furnace, specifically, one or more of dust agglomerates, self-reducing ores, and reduced iron. An iron source that does not require a reducing function is charged in a mixture with a solid fuel and charged into the center of the furnace, specifically, one or more of iron scraps, casting scraps, and pig iron and solids Charge with fuel.
The particle size of the solid fuel charged is 60 m in the center of the furnace.
m or more and 60 mm or less in the peripheral portion of the furnace. Further, when iron scrap is charged into the center of the furnace, the solid fuel / iron scrap weight ratio charged into the center of the furnace is preferably 0.03 or more.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION First, regarding iron sources such as dust agglomerated ore, self-reducing ore ingot, reduced iron, iron scrap, casting scrap, pig iron, etc.,
The charging method in which the iron source / solid fuel weight ratio is changed between successive charging charges and the iron source and solid fuel are separately charged into the peripheral area of the furnace and the central area of the furnace is to avoid rack hanging. Explain what works. Generally, when a large amount of dust agglomerate is used, deposits are likely to be formed on the furnace wall. For example, the reduction reaction becomes slow, and as a result, slag containing a large amount of FeO is generated, and this slag is cooled by smelting reduction which is an endothermic reaction and adheres to the furnace wall, a large amount of FeO-containing slag, In the case where flooding occurs in the lower part of the furnace and this slag is blown up and adheres to the furnace wall, or due to rising high-temperature gas, unreduced FeO melts in the upper part of the furnace and is combined or fused with the adjacent iron source to form the furnace wall. There is a case that adheres to the. In both cases, a large amount of slag melt is generated in the vicinity of the furnace wall, or it is combined with or fused with an adjacent iron source and liquefied, which adheres to the furnace wall and becomes an adherent, which may cause hanging. Become.

Therefore, in order to avoid this hanging from the rack, it is necessary to reduce the amount of melt generated in the peripheral portion of the furnace and to prevent the adjacent iron sources from coming into contact with each other as much as possible. Therefore, it is effective that the iron source charged into the peripheral portion of the furnace is mixed with the solid fuel and charged. As for the particle size of the solid fuel at this time, a smaller particle size is more preferable. This is because if coke of the same weight is charged, the number of charged small solid fuels is larger, and it is possible to sufficiently avoid contact between iron sources. The small-sized solid fuel referred to here includes, for example, blast furnace molten coke having a particle size of 60 mm or less, or small blast furnace coke having a particle size of about 30 mm.

Further, the amount of solid fuel charged in the peripheral portion is made larger than that in the central portion of the furnace. That is, the iron source / solid fuel weight ratio is divided into the furnace central part and the furnace peripheral part, and the solid fuel ratio in the furnace peripheral part is increased. Such a method is effective in avoiding hanging from a shelf. The ratio of solid fuel charged into the peripheral part of the furnace is slightly different depending on the preliminary reduction rate of the iron source such as dust agglomerated ore, self-reducing ore mass, and reduced iron. For example, in the case where self-reducing ore ingot 75%, reduced iron 15%, and iron scrap 10% are used as the charged iron source, the ratio of the iron source excluding the iron scrap that does not require reduction and the solid fuel is , (Self-reducing lump + reduced iron) / solid fuel ≦ 5, it has been confirmed by operation that hanging can be avoided. In this case, the self-reducing ingot contained 12% C, and the preliminary reduction rate calculated from the contained M.Fe and FeO was 60% in terms of hematite.

When an iron source having a low preliminary reduction rate is used, it is necessary to increase the amount of solid fuel charged in the peripheral portion. On the contrary, when the iron source having a high preliminary reduction rate is used, the solid fuel charged in the peripheral portion can be reduced. From the furnace top as an iron source, dust agglomerates, self-reducing ores, reduced iron,
FIG. 1 shows a typical example of the charging method of the present invention for the case of charging iron scrap, casting scrap, pig iron (type pig), ore, and pellets.

Among them, (a) and (b) are iron sources (reducing required) in which the pig iron, scrap iron and large coke for coke bed replenishment and carburizing which do not require reduction are charged in the center of the furnace. Dust agglomerated ore, self-reducing ore, reduced iron, pellets) is mixed with small coke and charged into the peripheral area of the furnace, enabling operation with high combustion efficiency and low fuel ratio. , Is the most efficient in terms of low fuel ratio.

The reduced iron can also be charged in the central part of the furnace as shown in FIG. 1 (c). This is because the iron source charged into the center of the furnace does not require reduction, so consumption of the coke bed existing in the center of the furnace is suppressed and the minimum amount of solid fuel in the center of the furnace is reduced. This is because it is possible to increase the η _CO by secondary blowing. On the other hand, the iron source charged around the furnace needs a reduction reaction.

However, although the solution loss reaction locally proceeds because it is mixed and charged with the small coke, as a result of promoting the gas reduction in the shaft portion of the iron source, the smelting reduction is suppressed. According to Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-501401, only the self-reducing ore ingot is charged in the shaft portion. As described above, as compared with the case where the coke is not mixed and charged, in the present invention where the coke is mixed and charged, the reduction rate of the iron source at the start of melting can be improved by at least 20% or more. It is confirmed by the examination result of the offline simulator as shown in. Furthermore, this also suggests that the amount of slag melt at the time of melting can be reduced by mixing the iron source and coke, and it is clear that this also contributes to avoiding hanging from a shelf.

Further, in order to promote the reduction around the furnace and increase the reduction rate of the iron source before melting, it is effective to increase the amount of the internal C added in the self-reducing ore or dust agglomerate. is there. However, due to strength restrictions, the upper limit of the amount of interior C is 20.
%, Therefore, it is difficult to secure the reduction and maintain the bed coke only by improving the quality of the iron source such as a self-reducing ore ingot, and mixing with coke is inevitable. Although coke is generally used as the solid fuel, carbonaceous materials such as anthracite can also be used.

Regarding the charging method, for example, in a bell type charging device, an armor is used, and the weight ratio of iron source / solid fuel is changed for each charging charge. It has been confirmed that by charging the second charge in the peripheral part of the furnace, it is possible to carry out a predetermined charging. Further, in the case of using an open-top charging device which is often found in melting furnaces such as cupolas, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H7-78242 was invented by the present inventor.
It is effective to utilize the charging method for the peripheral portion of the furnace disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 70625 to separately charge the central portion of the furnace and the peripheral portion of the furnace.

As shown in FIG. 1 (d), the charging method is somewhat complicated as a method for avoiding hanging from the rack regardless of the preliminary reduction rate of the iron source. At this time, a method may be mentioned in which only the solid fuel is charged near the wall, and the iron source and the solid fuel are mixed and charged inside the solid fuel. Specifically, 1 cycle 3 charges were charged, the first charge was charged only with solid fuel near the wall of the furnace periphery, the second charge was charged to the center of the furnace, and the third charge was charged to the periphery of the furnace. By mixing and charging the iron source and the solid fuel, it is possible to carry out a predetermined charging.

Next, by directing the charging method of the present invention, it will be explained that even if a small-sized solid fuel is used, it is possible to operate without lowering the combustion efficiency of the vertical furnace. That is,
In order to realize the operation that maintains the combustion efficiency, multi-stage tuyeres, which consist of multiple stages in the furnace height direction, are installed on the shaft wall of the vertical furnace. Further, the iron source / solid fuel is charged so that the weight ratio of the iron source / solid fuel in the central part of the furnace is larger than that in the peripheral part of the furnace, or iron scrap or the like which does not require the reducing function is charged in the central part of the furnace. Of the multi-stage tuyere, the secondary tuyere has a structure in which the tip of the tuyere protrudes into the furnace rather than the furnace wall.
The effect is great if the tip position of the next tuyere is provided at the boundary between the central part of the furnace and the peripheral part.

In the primary tuyere, the solid fuel is burned by the reaction represented by the following formula (2), and then CO gas is generated by the solution loss reaction represented by the formula (3). On the other hand, in the secondary tuyere located above the primary tuyere,
The CO gas rising from below is burned by the reaction represented by the equation (4), and the exothermic reaction is used to preheat the iron source to achieve high η _CO and reduce the fuel ratio. However, the solution loss reaction represented by the equation (3) also occurs in the secondary tuyere, and it is necessary to reduce the ratio of this solution loss reaction as much as possible in order to achieve efficient operation. In the charging method of the present invention, compared with the usual charging method, the weight ratio of the iron source / solid fuel in the central part of the furnace is increased, that is, the ratio of the solid fuel is decreased to blow air from the secondary tuyere. It is possible to reduce the ratio of the solution loss reaction due to, and to suppress the decrease in combustion efficiency.

C + O ₂ → CO ₂ (2) C + CO ₂ = 2CO (3) O ₂ + 2CO = 2CO ₂ (4)

In particular, pig iron (type pig), which does not require a reducing function, iron scrap, and casting scrap are charged in the central part of the furnace, and an iron source (dust agglomerated ore, self-reducing ore block, When charging (reduced iron, pellets) into the peripheral area of the furnace, most of the solid fuel is charged into the peripheral area of the furnace, and only the solid fuel necessary for carburizing is charged into the central area of the furnace. good. At this time, by making the gas flow the central flow, the solution loss reaction due to the air blown from the secondary tuyere can be almost suppressed, and the operation with high combustion efficiency becomes possible.

Further, in order to make the gas flow the central flow, it is advisable to charge small solid fuels in the periphery of the furnace and large solid fuels in the center of the furnace. As described above, by using the large-sized solid fuel in the central part of the furnace, the solution loss reaction represented by the above formula (3) is further suppressed and the maximum combustion efficiency can be achieved. On the other hand, as a multi-stage tuyere, it is usually 3
I think that it is effective up to the step, and in the primary tuyere of the first step,
The combustion reaction between the solid fuel and air or oxygen causes the exothermic reaction of the above formula (2), and the endothermic reaction of the formula (3) subsequently proceeds. On the other hand, in the second and third tuyeres of the second and third stages, the CO gas generated in the primary tuyere is completely combusted by the exothermic reaction of the equation (4). The present invention effectively utilizes the heat generated at this time to preheat, heat, and melt the iron source charged from the upper portion of the shaft.

Here, a control method for maintaining the coke bed will be described. It is difficult to control the coke bed because it is in the central lower part of the furnace and the unreduced FeO
This is because the components are smelted and reduced in the lower part of the furnace and the coke bed is consumed, which causes abnormal consumption of the coke bed. In particular, if such abnormal consumption of coke occurs in the lower part of the central furnace of the furnace, it will be a problem because it will hinder the melting of the iron source and may cause the operation to become impossible due to the solidification of the slag.

In the present invention, the control of the coke bed is important because the ratio of iron source / solid fuel in the center of the furnace is increased. Therefore, the iron source that can cause smelting reduction should be charged to the peripheral part of the furnace as much as possible, and the core of the furnace should be mainly charged with mold pig iron, iron scrap, casting scrap, etc. that do not require reduction. Thus, the possibility of smelting reduction is suppressed as much as possible.
As a result, the abnormal consumption of the coke bed in the center of the furnace is suppressed. In the present invention, the solid fuel charged in the central part of the furnace is distinguished from the solid fuel charged in the peripheral part of the furnace, and the large diameter coke is used. As a result, the combustion efficiency η
_{Since CO} can be increased, the operation is improved.

Therefore, an iron source that requires a reducing function, such as small-sized solid fuel, reduced iron, self-reducing ore, and dust agglomerate, and solid fuel are charged into the periphery of the furnace, and the solid fuel is introduced into the center of the furnace. In a case where an iron source such as iron scraps, casting scraps, and pig iron that does not require a reducing function and a solid fuel are charged, the weight ratio of the solid fuel charged in the central part of the furnace is defined as solid fuel / iron scrap ≧ 0. 0.03, preferably solid fuel / iron scrap = 0.03-0.0
It will be explained that setting to 5 is effective.

When the iron source charged into the center of the furnace is iron scraps, casting scraps, or pig iron, since it contains C except iron scraps, basically, only iron scraps and the C content required for carburizing are contained. It is sufficient to replenish the solid fuel, which is partially consumed by the combustion of the coke bed. Since the amount of carburization for iron scrap in the furnace is 2 to 4% by weight of iron scrap, the solid fuel consumed by carburization is solid fuel / iron scrap = 0.02-
It is about 0.04. The trial calculation of the coke bed consumption in the center of the furnace revealed that the coke bed consumption was about 10 kg / t (corresponding to about 0.01). Therefore, the ratio of solid fuel charged in the center of the furnace is solid fuel / iron scrap ≧
0.03 is required. Furthermore, if too much solid fuel is charged in the center of the furnace, η _CO may be reduced, so solid fuel / iron scrap = 0.03 to 0.05 is preferable.
Is appropriate.

The position of the boundary between the central part of the furnace and the peripheral part of the furnace in the present invention is determined by the preliminary reduction rate of the iron source, the coke grain size, and
Depending on the usage ratio of self-reducing ores and dust agglomerates, they move slightly in the furnace radial direction. The boundary position ri between the central part of the furnace and the peripheral part of the furnace can be obtained by the equation (5) if the amounts of the iron source and the solid fuel to be charged into each part are determined.

Ri^Two= (Wm^(c)/ ρm^(c)+ Wc^(c)/ ρc^(c)) ÷ {(Wm^(c)/ ρm^(c)+ Wc ^(c) / ρc^(c)) + (Wm^(p)/ ρm^(p)+ Wc^(p)/ ρc^(p))} (5) where ri: non-dimensional boundary radius (−) Wm between the central part and the peripheral part of the furnace^(c) : Weight of iron source charged in the center (kg / charge) Wc^(c) : Weight of solid fuel charged in the center (kg / charge) Wm^(p) : Weight of iron source to be charged in peripheral area (kg / charge) Wc^(p) : Weight of solid fuel charged in the surrounding area (kg / charge) ρm^(c) : Bulk density of iron source charged in the center (kg / m^Three) Ρc^(c) : Bulk density of solid fuel charged in the center (kg / m^Three) Ρm^(p) : Bulk density (kg / m^Three) Ρc^(p) : Bulk density (kg / m^Three)

This ri is represented by a dimensionless radius and indicates the boundary position when the rate of descent of the charge in the center of the furnace and the peripheral part of the furnace is constant. Various charging methods for adjusting the boundary position indicated by ri are conceivable, but it is preferable to use an apparatus as shown in FIG. 4 of JP-A-7-70625. Even when a bell-type charging device is used, by using an armor and alternately charging the center charge and the peripheral charge alternately for each charge, a partial mixed layer is produced, Boundaries can be set.

[0035]

EXAMPLES The characteristics of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the following examples. Vertical furnace with open-top, moving bed type, two-stage tuyeres structure with a hearth diameter of 1.5 m, 6 primary tuyeres, 6 secondary tuyeres, and an effective height of 4.2 m from the primary tuyeres 1. Was used. Regarding the charging device 2, the charging position can be divided in the furnace radial direction, and for example, the charging guide 3 is provided in FIG.
A charging device as shown in (b) was used. Note that the composition of the furnace top exhaust gas is η _CO ^(TOP) = (CO ₂ ^(TOP) / (CO ^(TOP) + CO ₂
^(TOP) )). Furthermore, among the operational specifications, the blast humidity was set at 15 g / Nm ³ , which is atmospheric humidity, and the limestone basic unit charged from the furnace top was set with the target of slag basicity = 1.0. The iron source to be charged was a self-reducing ore mass containing C (12%) (a size of 40 mm × 20 mm × 30 mm, a reduced iron powder having a particle size of 3 mm or less, mixed with blast furnace secondary ash and coke powder). Produced agglomerated ore), blast furnace secondary ash as a main component, dust agglomerated ore agglomerated by mixing dust in the iron mill, Kirshredder scrap iron which is general industrial scrap, and reduced iron with a particle size of 3 mm to 5 mm It is powder. Table 1 shows the details of the study.

[0036]

[Table 1]

In both the examples and the comparative examples, the charging ratio is a weight ratio of self-reducing ore mass: dust agglomerate: Kirshredder scrap iron: reduced iron powder = 50: 10: 30: 10 and dust mass. Both dissolution tests were carried out with 20% by weight of ore and 80% by weight of Kirschredder scrap iron.

On the other hand, in the embodiment, as the solid fuel, small coke for blast furnace having a grain size of about 30 mm is used in the periphery of the furnace,
A large coke of about 80 mm was used for carburizing the center of the furnace. On the other hand, the comparative example is a normal operation method in which an iron source and a solid fuel are mixed and charged, and it is attempted to actively use small coke having a particle size of about 30 mm as compared with the conventional large coke alone. There is. In both the proportional example and the example, the air blowing conditions were room temperature air blowing and the secondary tuyere air blowing amount / primary tuyere air blowing amount = 1/4. First, Comparative Example 1 is a case in which self-reducing ores, dust agglomerates, Kirshredder scrap iron, and reduced iron powder are used, and Comparative Example 2 is 20% by weight of dust agglomerates and Kirshredder scrap iron by 80% by weight. In the case of charging, the examples are compared with Example 1 and Example 2, respectively.

On the other hand, in Example 1, self-reducing ore mass, dust agglomerated ore, reduced iron powder, and small coke were mixed and charged in the peripheral part, and Kirshredder scrap iron and large carburizing coke in the central part. Charged. In Example 2, dust agglomerated ore and small coke were mixed and charged in the peripheral portion, and Kirshredder scrap iron and large carburized coke in the central portion were charged. As can be seen from Table 1, in the example, compared to the comparative example, a large amount of small coke can be used, and η _CO ^(TOP) of the exhaust gas can be increased, so that in the operation of the furnace that requires the reduction function. Despite this, operations with a low fuel ratio have been achieved.
Moreover, there is no hanging, and the operation is stable.

Furthermore, as a result of being able to maintain the height of the coke bed in the central part, a high η _CO can be secured even in the lower part of the furnace, and stable operation can be continued. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, initially, the operation was started under the charging condition similar to that of Example 1 under the condition that the condition for avoiding hanging from the shelf could be satisfied. However, the combustion efficiency η _CO ^(TOP) stagnated at about 20%, the ventilation deteriorated, and it was judged that the heat balance was insufficient. Therefore, we investigated the operating conditions for stable operation by increasing the amount of coke charged, reducing the amount of small coke and increasing the amount of large coke. The results are the operational specifications of Comparative Example 1 in Table 1, and it is judged that it is difficult to use a small amount of coke in a large amount. Furthermore, the operating condition is not always good,
It was judged that slag discharge was difficult and stable operation for a long period was difficult. Further, in the mixed charging method of Comparative Example 2, the consumption amount of coke due to the solution loss reaction was large, and η _CO was as low as about 30%, so that the dissolution of iron scrap was irregular and the operation became unstable. On the other hand, in Example 2 of the present invention, the operation with the combustion efficiency η _CO = 80% or more could be achieved, and the efficient operation could be achieved even when the small coke was used.
