This is more than in the case of tube and double tube tuyere, resulting in an increase in gas cost.

Injection of hydrocarbon gas from a furnace bottom tuyere at the time of bottom blowing refining is exemplified.
【0013】図1は、転炉底吹き用の二重管羽口の一例
であって、転炉の炉底部に設置した内管1、外管2の2
つのパイプ(ステンレス製)から構成されている。FIG. 1 shows an example of a double-tube tuyere for blowing the bottom of a converter. The inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2 are installed at the bottom of the converter.
It consists of two pipes (made of stainless steel).
【0014】本発明では、この内管に炭化水素ガス3、
外管に断熱性ガス4あるいは断熱性ガスと炭化水素ガス
の混合ガスを導入する。各ガスは流路別、ガス種別に独
立に流量コントロールすることが望ましい。According to the present invention, hydrocarbon gas 3
An insulating gas 4 or a mixed gas of an insulating gas and a hydrocarbon gas is introduced into the outer tube. It is desirable to control the flow rate of each gas independently for each channel and gas type.
【0015】炭化水素ガスは、CH4 、C2H6、C3H8、C4H

10 or the like is used alone or as a mixed gas. The heat insulating gas includes an inert gas such as Ar or N 2 , but CO, CO 2, etc., which are expected to achieve the heat insulating effect targeted by the present invention, can be used alone or as a mixed gas.
【0016】内管(LPG=3 〜12Nm3/min )外管(Ar=0.1

す。Inner tube (LPG = 3 to 12 Nm 3 / min) Outer tube (Ar = 0.1
FIG. 2 shows test results obtained by changing the flow rate (to 15 Nm 3 / min) (hereinafter, all flow rates indicate the flow rate per tuyere).
【0017】図2に示すように、内管の炭化水素ガス
(LPG )流量をQo(Nm3/min) 、外管の断熱性ガス(Ar)
流量をQ(Nm3/min)とし、流量比Q/Qoで整理するとQ/Qoを
0.05〜1.0 に制御することにより、羽口損耗速度を低く
抑え、安定操業が可能となる。As shown in FIG. 2, the flow rate of hydrocarbon gas (LPG) in the inner pipe is Qo (Nm 3 / min), and the heat insulating gas (Ar) in the outer pipe is
When the flow rate is Q (Nm 3 / min) and the flow rate ratio is Q / Qo, Q / Qo
By controlling to 0.05 to 1.0, the tuyere wear rate can be kept low and stable operation is possible.
【0018】なお、図2に示す「羽口前圧」は、羽口手

塞のない通常の「羽口前圧」は、約6kg/cm2である。The "pre-tuyere pressure" shown in FIG. 2 indicates the value of the gas pressure just before the tuyere and is an index indicating the tuyere blockage. The lower the value, the smaller the pressure loss and the lower the gas source. Pressure 10kg / c
closer to m 2 indicate that a blockage situation has deteriorated. Usually of "feather preoral pressure" no blockage is about 6kg / cm 2.

する。When the flow ratio Q / Qo is less than 0.05, the heat insulation effect of the outer pipe gas is significantly reduced, the temperature of the hydrocarbon gas (LPG) in the inner pipe rises above the decomposition temperature, and the hydrocarbon gas ( LPG) causes a decomposition reaction, and this endothermic reaction overlaps with the small outer tube gas insulation effect. Occurs, and the tuyere life is remarkably deteriorated.
【0020】また、過冷のため溶鉄が凝固して生成する
マッシュルームが過大に成長し、羽口前圧力が増大し安
定操業が不可能となる。Further, mushrooms formed by solidification of molten iron due to undercooling grow excessively, and the pressure in front of the tuyere increases, so that stable operation becomes impossible.

生じる。When the flow ratio Q / Qo exceeds 1.0, the amount of the scattered particles of the hot metal adhering to the converter furnace increases, and the scattered particles reach the exhaust system, and the Fe concentration in the dust collection water rapidly increases. Increase.
When the amount of metal ingot on the furnace mouth of the converter increases, it becomes difficult to pour hot metal into the converter, and operations such as melting the furnace mouth metal with a special lance and stripping the metal with a scraper are frequently performed. This necessitates a problem that the productivity of the converter is reduced. Further, when the amount of the scattered particles reaching the exhaust system increases, there arises a problem that the yield of hot metal decreases and the production cost increases.

It is. Also, during this time, there is almost no difference in effect, so that there is no particular problem even if the blowing amount of the insulating gas is reduced. Therefore, from the viewpoint of gas cost reduction, the flow ratio is Q /
A place near Qo0.1 is economical.
