Definitions
- the application relates to a method for melting DRI consisting at least partially of HBI and/or HCl by means of a melting process.
- DRI direct reduced iron
- DRI is often compacted when hot - i.e. as HDRI hot direct reduced iron.
- the product of compaction is called, for example, HBI hot briquetted iron when producing briquettes, or HCl hot compacted iron when producing DRI in a fluidized bed.
- compaction to HBI or HCl helps to avoid yield losses due to dust losses and quality losses.
- the standard size of HBI briquettes available worldwide and shippable due to an apparent density greater than or equal to 5.0 g/cm 3 is 106 x 48 x 33 mm; this results from the desire to achieve the highest possible HBI output with the fewest possible briquetting machines.
- the apparent density of HCl is lower than that of HBI and is below 5.0 g/cm 3 - typically in the range 3.5-4.2 g/cm 3 - and is therefore not suitable for ship transport due to IMO.
- the size of HCl can also be smaller than that of HBI, for example 50 x 38 x 22 mm.
- a method is presented that allows to reduce or avoid at least some of the above-mentioned disadvantages when using compacted DRI.
- DRI can be uncompressed or compressed.
- HBI and HCl are special cases of the general term DRI; they refer to compressed DRI.
- the melting process is carried out using electrical energy.
- the method according to the invention allows a higher addition rate to a melting process than if HBI or HCl were added to it without the crushing according to the invention. In order to increase the addition rate, it is therefore not necessary to resort to increasing the energy supplied to the melting process, as was previously the case - which can have an adverse effect on productivity. Disadvantages compared to melting uncompacted DRI are thus at least reduced.
- the comminution is a breaking process, which preferably takes place in at least two stages.
- a crushing process produces fragments of HBI or HCl.
- a crushing process is carried out using crushers; a single crusher or a crushing system with several crushers can be used - for example arranged in several consecutive stages, with a rear stage being supplied with the fragments or pieces produced in the previous stage as starting material for the comminution taking place in it.
- a crushing process carried out using several consecutive stages is multi-stage.
- the size of the fragments is preferably reduced to a size - also called grain size - which is in a range from 3.35 mm to 31.5 mm, preferably from 3.35 mm to 25 mm, particularly preferably 6.3 mm to 16 mm.
- the limits of the ranges are also included.
- the upper limit for the size of the fragments preferably obtained during the size reduction is preferably 31.5 mm, particularly preferably 25 mm, very particularly preferably 16 mm.
- the lower limit for the size of the fragments preferably obtained during the size reduction is preferably 3.35 mm, particularly preferably 6.3 mm.
- fragments obtained during comminution are fed to the melting process, regardless of whether they actually lie in the above-mentioned range of 3.35 to 31.5 mm or its preferred and particularly preferred sub-ranges or not.
- fragments whose grain size lies in the above-mentioned range of 3.35 to 31.5 mm or its preferred and particularly preferred sub-ranges are fed to the melting process, but also fragments lying outside this range or the sub-ranges.
- a minimum size is defined for the fragments arising during comminution, and fragments arising during comminution below the minimum size are separated, and only fragments above the minimum size are fed to the melting process.
- fragments obtained during comminution are:
- the parts are only fed into the melting process if they actually lie within the above-mentioned range of 3.35 to 31.5 mm or its preferred and particularly preferred sub-ranges.
- the DRI consists entirely of HBI and/or HCl.
- a melting unit melts at least partially based on electrical energy.
- EAF, SAF and OSBF are not to be understood as a melting aggregate in the context of this application.
- a converter vessel is, for example, a steelworks converter for steel production.
- a minimum size is defined for the fragments resulting from the comminution, and fragments resulting from the comminution below the minimum size are separated.
- Separation is achieved, for example, by sieving.
- the fragments below the minimum size can be fed into a process for the production of HBI or HCl - for example by means of bucket elevators or pneumatic conveying - to be compacted together with HDRI.
- Fragments above the minimum size are at least partially fed into the melting process.
- the HBI 40 is crushed in the crushing device 70 - this can be single-stage or multi-stage, for example two-stage.
- the crushing device is a crusher. Fragments of the HBI 40 obtained during crushing are fed to the melting device 50 via the intermediate bunker 60.
- the crushing device 140 Before feeding - which in the example shown takes place via an intermediate bunker 130; however, it can also take place directly, i.e. without an intermediate bunker - the HCl 110 is crushed in the crushing device 140 - this can be single-stage or multi-stage, for example two-stage.
- the crushing device is a crusher. Fragments 150a, 150b of the HCl 110 obtained during crushing are sieved in a sieving device 160. Only the fragments 150a above a minimum size are fed to the melting device 120 via the intermediate bunker 130. The fragments 150b below the minimum size are fed to the compacting device 100 to be compacted there together with HDRI.
