Description

Method and device for measuring temperature of molten iron
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a molten iron temperature measuring method and apparatus for measuring a temperature of molten iron in a main runner. More particularly, the present invention relates to a molten iron temperature measuring method and apparatus capable of continuously measuring the temperature of molten iron in real time by manufacturing a refractory capable of being directly immersed in molten iron without using the conventional non-contact measurement.
Background
Generally, iron ore (sintered ore), coke, and limestone are charged into the upper part of the blast furnace and then slowly fall. At this time, hot blast entering from the bottom of the blast furnace burns coke, and carbon monoxide (CO) generated in this process undergoes a reduction reaction with iron ore to produce molten iron.
The coke functions as a heat source for melting iron ore and separating oxygen and molten iron from iron oxide, i.e., iron ore. The iron ore charged into the blast furnace may take about 5 to 6 hours to produce molten iron, and the temperature of the molten iron is about 1500 ℃.
The temperature management of molten iron is very important in the operation of a blast furnace. The temperature of the molten iron affects the fluidity of the molten iron and slag (slag) in the blast furnace. When the molten iron temperature is high, the slag side is lowered in oxygen potential to cause silicon dioxide (SiO) in the slag2) Is reduced to the molten iron side, and thus the silicon (Si) content becomes high as a whole.
In contrast, when the molten iron temperature is low, the slag viscosity increases. The increase in the viscosity of the slag means that the thickness of the molten iron-slag interface becomes large and the energy is high. Then, since it takes much energy for the sulfur (S) in the molten iron to diffuse to the slag side through the interface, the sulfur (S) is not easily diffused and remains in the molten iron, and thus the viscosity increases, which also increases the sulfur (S).
Further, when the temperature of the molten iron is low, a slag solidification phenomenon occurs in the blast furnace, and as a result, the fluidity of the molten material (molten iron, slag) present in the bottom of the furnace is extremely poor, or the molten material solidifies and cannot be discharged to the outside, that is, the hearth freezes. Since the gas flow in the blast furnace varies greatly, it is difficult for even a highly skilled operator to control the furnace conditions unless the temperature of the molten iron in the blast furnace is known. Therefore, if the temperature of the molten iron can be continuously measured in the normal operation, the integration of the blast furnace heat balance monitoring is improved, thereby solving the problem of excess or shortage of heat sources and greatly contributing to the stable operation of the blast furnace.
In order to adapt the method to the operation data of the actual blast furnace, 12 operation factors which have great influence on the change of the molten iron temperature are firstly found out through correlation analysis, and in order to obtain the parameters of the autoregressive sliding average model which displays the relationship between the factors and the molten iron temperature, 4 repeated parameter confirmation methods of R L S, RIY, RE L S and RM L are used for deriving comparison results.
In addition, the related art discloses an apparatus for measuring a temperature of molten iron by being irradiated with radiant light emitted from the molten iron and a method thereof. The apparatus and method for measuring molten iron temperature, in particular, to an apparatus and method for measuring molten iron temperature, in which a sapphire optical fiber is directly immersed in molten iron without replacing the optical fiber once, and then, when light radiated from molten iron is incident into the optical fiber through the optical fiber, since there is no radiation factor in the middle, the emissivity of the incident light is "1" corresponding to a numerical aperture, so that the molten iron temperature can be accurately measured without a calibration step, and the sapphire optical fiber having a high melting point is not melted in molten iron, thereby continuously measuring the molten iron temperature. However, since the emissivity of molten iron varies depending on the tapping flow rate and the slag content when molten iron is discharged, there is a problem that temperature measurement varies.
In addition, there is no method for continuously measuring the temperature of molten iron in real time so far, and people need to dip a disposable thermometer in the molten iron to measure the temperature each time, so that many dangerous factors are caused, and the operation burden is large. In addition, since the temperature is not continuously measured, there is a difficulty in Data (Data) collection or in an operator's judgment of the furnace condition by analyzing the temperature trend change.

In addition, the refractory body includes zirconium oxide (ZrO)2) Silicon dioxide (SiO)2) One or more of calcium oxide (CaO), Fixed Carbon (Fixed Carbon) and silicon carbide (SiC), and may be a refractory material mixed with the components.
The zirconium oxide (ZrO)2) Is 70 to 73 wt% with respect to 100 wt% of the total weight of the refractory body, to improve resistance to molten iron temperature erosion.
The silicon dioxide (SiO)2) Is 1.5 to 3.5 wt% with respect to 100 wt% of the total weight of the refractory, to improve resistance to erosion by molten iron temperature.

At this time, the specific gravity of the molten iron in the runner was about 7, and the specific gravity of the slag was about 3.5g/cm3Since the refractory body is crushed due to a large specific gravity of the molten iron when measuring the temperature of the molten iron or the specific gravity of fragments should be lighter than that of the slag to rise above the molten iron and the slag, it should be close to or lighter than that of the slag so as to be easily separated from the molten iron and the slag in the following, and thus the refractory body has a physical property of a volume specific weight (g/cm) of the refractory body3) Is 3g/cm3~3.45g/cm3

Flexural strength (kgf/cm) among physical properties of the refractory body2) Is 50 to 60.

The blast furnace operates as follows in the flow channel: when molten materials (molten iron and Slag) are produced in the furnace and discharged outside the furnace, the molten iron and the Slag (Slag) are temporarily stored and separated according to a difference in specific gravity, and the molten iron is guided into the pouring channel while the Slag (Slag) enters the water-crumbling and drying pit (dry pit). The melt is subjected to water-breaking at high temperature in the runner for a certain period of time (e.g., 150 minutes) and guided to a pouring gutter, and is retained for a certain period of time (e.g., 300 minutes), and this process is repeated.

The refractory body may be zirconia (ZrO)2) The series of refractory bodies are used for improving the erosion resistance of molten iron temperature resistance.

The refractory body fixing jig support frame 300 is provided on the runner cover plate to support the refractory body fixing jig so that the refractory body for temperature measurement can be fixed at a faster flow rate of molten iron when the temperature of molten iron is measured.
A thermocouple 400, particularly a platinum thermocouple made of a platinum wire, is inserted into the refractory body 100, and the thermocouple 400 is covered with an alumina protection tube 410, thereby protecting the thermocouple 400 and improving heat transfer.

(examples)
The invention inserts the zirconium oxide (ZrO) of the platinum thermocouple into the flow passage2) The refractory body is directly immersed in molten iron, and the temperature of the molten iron can be continuously measured to determine the furnace condition in the blast furnace during the operation of the blast furnace in real time.
Currently, in most iron works, the molten iron temperature is measured by manual operation of an operator by inserting a probe for measuring the molten iron temperature into a temperature measuring probe and immersing the tip of the temperature measuring probe in the molten iron when about 30 minutes has elapsed after tapping and Slag (Slag) separation are started in a blast furnace tap hole tapping operation performed several times at the rear end of a skimmer (skimmer).
At this time, the melt splashes above the cover plate (block cover) at the rear end of the skimmer (skimmer), so that the operator may be burned, and it is necessary to wear a safety guard. In addition, when an operator performs measurement, since a temperature gradient based on the flow rate of molten iron exists in the main runner, deviation of the temperature of molten iron may occur according to a measurement position.
In order to solve these disadvantages and to solve the surplus or shortage of heat sources and to enhance the stable operation of the blast furnace through continuous molten iron temperature monitoring, a refractory body that can be immersed in molten iron was manufactured, a thermocouple was inserted into the refractory body, and the refractory body was directly immersed in molten iron to measure the temperature of molten iron, and the measurement results are shown in fig. 4 and the long-term test results are shown in fig. 5.
As shown in fig. 4, it was confirmed that the temperature change of molten iron during tapping was different depending on the tapping flow rate as a result of measuring the temperature of molten iron using the refractory manufactured in the present invention. The initial residual molten iron temperature was about 1370 c, and when the tapping flow rate was increased to about 4 tons/min, the molten iron temperature was stabilized above 1500 c.
In order to understand the change in the temperature of molten iron before and after tapping, the measurement results for a long time are shown in fig. 5. After the tapping is completed, as the tapping waiting time becomes longer, the temperature of the molten iron is lowered and the temperature is lowered (drop) to about 1350 ℃. After the temperature of the molten iron was measured for a long time, the result of confirming the state of the refractory body showed that the refractory body was not affected at all in the erosion and strength by the molten iron or the slag.
