    摘要: An agglomerated ore assessing method is provided that can assess clustering of reduced iron when it has been reduced at a high hydrogen concentration, with thermal compensation using blowing sensible heat taken into account. In this method, agglomerated ore is reduced while being subjected to a predetermined load at 1000°C to 1200°C, both inclusive, to produce a reduced aggregate; a tumble treatment is performed on the reduced aggregate using a tumble tester; cluster strength CS of the reduced aggregate calculated by Formula (1) below is measured; and a clustering property of the agglomerated ore is assessed using the cluster strength CS: CS = (W'/W) × 100 ··· (1), where CS is cluster strength (mass%); W is the mass (g) of a reduced aggregate that is equal to or larger than a maximum particle diameter of the agglomerated ore; and W' is the mass (g) of a reduced aggregate after a tumble treatment in the tumble tester that is equal to or larger than the maximum particle diameter of the agglomerated ore.

    摘要: Provided is an ore crushing method capable of efficiently crushing iron ores that are difficult to finely crush. The ore crushing method includes coarsely crushing the iron ores to reduce the proportion of particles with a particle size of greater than or equal to 1 mm, and then finely crushing the iron ores to increase the proportion of particles with a particle size of less than 63 µm. The average pore size of the iron ores is preferably less than or equal to 10 µm, the proportion of the particles with a particle size of greater than or equal to 1 mm in the iron ores is preferably greater than or equal to 30 mass%, the iron ores are preferably coarsely crushed so that the proportion of the particles with a particle size of greater than or equal to 1 mm becomes less than or equal to 20 mass%, the iron ores are preferably finely crushed so that the proportion of the particles with a particle size of less than 63 µm becomes greater than or equal to 70 mass%, and the iron ores are preferably finely crushed with a wet ball mill. A pellet production method is also provided that includes granulating a raw material, which includes the iron ores crushed with the ore crushing method, into pellets.

    摘要: Provided are a method for blowing a gaseous reducing agent and a blast furnace tuyere with which it is possible to prevent, in the blast furnace tuyere, a combustion reaction from occurring in the vicinity of a connection part between the tuyere and a blowpipe and a combustion flame that is formed in a raceway space in front of the tuyere from returning to the inside of the tuyere.
    The method includes blowing the gaseous reducing agent into a blast furnace by using a blast furnace tuyere 10, in which the blast furnace tuyere 10 has a main flow-through hole 12 and a sub flow-through hole 14 that is disposed on an outer side in a radial direction of the main flow-through hole 12, in which a flow speed of an oxygen-containing gas that flows through the main flow-through hole 12 is increased in a tuyere tip part 13 of the main flow-through hole 12, in which the gaseous reducing agent that flows through the sub flow-through hole 14 is converged with the oxygen-containing gas in the tuyere tip part 13 of the main flow-through hole 12 to form a mixed gas, and in which the mixed gas is blown into the blast furnace.
