Abstract
Described is a process for heating a metallurgical furnace, in particular an arc furnace charged with scrap metal or a similar solid material. Oxygen and fuel are fed in through the furnace wall by at least one burner located above the melt, the fuel being supplied in a carrier-gas stream which completely surrounds the oxygen feed line. The process is particularly cost-effective owing to the fact that 4-15 kg/t of coal dust of particle size <200 µm in an inert-to-slightly reducing carrier gas is used as the fuel, being fed in at a speed of at least 45 m/s, at least while the charge is melting, and being burnt in a diffuse flame in stoichiometric to slightly greater than stoichiometric proportions in oxygen emerging from the burner at about the speed of sound and at a pressure of at least about 1 bar. Also described is a burner particularly suitable for use in this process.

Claims (21)
1. A method of heating a metallurgical furnace, in particular an electric are furnace charged with scrap or similar solid charge materials, in which oxygen and fuel are introduced through the wall of the furnace through at least one burner above the melt, the fuel being fed by a stream of vehicle gas which annularly surrounds the inner oxygen channel, in which connection as fuel, 4 to 15 kg of powdered coal of a particle size of less than 200 µm per kg of liquid metal produced is fed in an inert slightly reducing vehicle gas at a speed of at least 45 m/second, at least during the melting down of the batch, and burned, stoichiometrically to slightly over stoichiometrically, by the oxygen emerging with approximately the speed of sound and a pressure of at least about 1 bar from the burner with the formation of a diffuse flame.
2. A method according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the pressure of the emerging oxygen is at least 0.1 bar above the internal pressure prevailing in the furnace.
3. A method according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by the fact that powdered coal is fed in amounts of 5 to 10 kg/ton of liquid metal produced.
4. A method according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized by the fact that the speed of the vehicle gas is at least 50 meters/second.
5. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the pressure in the oxygen feed line (pre-pressure) is set to 12 to 16 bar and preferably 13 to 15 bar.
6. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that a powdered coal containing 8 to 15% volatile components is used.
7. A method according to any of the preceding claims in which scrap or the like is added batchwise, characterized by the fact that the introduction of coal and oxygen is started within two minutes after the charging of the scrap.
8. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the introduction of coal and oxygen is effected over a period of time of 9 to 17 minutes during a charge sequence or after each batchwise addition of scrap.
9. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the ratio of the mass flow of the coal to that of the vehicle gas is 10 to 20.
10. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the burner or at least part of the burners are removed from the furnace at least during the charging.
11. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the burner or burners, in introduced condition is or are charged, outside the operating phase or phases, with a scavenging gas at least in the fuel channel.
12. A method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that as scavenging gas air is fed in an amount of 170 to 200Nm3/hr.
13. A method according to any of the preceding claims for the heating of an electric are furnace, characterized by the fact that at least one burner is associated with each inter-electrode space (cold spot region).
14. An apparatus for carrying out the method according to any of the preceding claims, having a burner with a shaft (13) which is formed of two concentric tubes (11, 12) and the annular channel (15) of which debouches into a widened annular space (16) of a distributor (14), holes (17) which are arranged annularly and coaxially to the shaft debouching into the annular space (16) from the opposite side, the feed side, and being connected at their feed side to a fuel conduit (8), and having an oxygen feed line (9) connected with the oxygen channel (22) formed by the inner tube (12) of the shaft.
15. A burner according to claim 14, characterized by the fact that a flow divider arranged in the fuel conduit (8), preferably a baffle plate (27) provided with openings, is arranged in front of the holes (17).
16. A burner according to claim 14 or 15, characterized by the fact that the inside diameter of the annular space (16) agrees, at least in the region thereof adjoining the shaft (13), with the inside diameter of the annular channel (15).
17. A burner according to claim 16, characterized by the fact that the inner wall of the annular space widens outward towards the holes (17), preferably up to the core diameter of the circle of holes (17).
18. A burner according to any of claims 14 to 17, characterized by the fact that the annular space (16) in the region of the mouth of the shaft (13) forms an end surface (24).
19. A burner according to any of claims 14 to 18, characterized by the fact that the oxygen feed conduit (9) debouches into an annular collecting space (19) which surrounds the holes (17) and connected via radial channels (21) with the oxygen channel (22).
20. A burner according to claim 19, characterized by the fact that the radial channels (21) extend between the holes (17).
