    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.

    摘要: A high hot metal temperature is ensured even when the heat flow ratio in a lower portion of a furnace is high.
    An oxygen blast furnace 1 includes a furnace body 2 into which a raw material is charged, and a tuyere 3 for injecting a blast gas and a reducing agent into the furnace body 2. The blast gas has an oxygen concentration of 50% by volume or more. A heat flow ratio β, represented by the following equation (1), in a lower portion of the furnace is 0.8 or more. The ratio (D/R) of the distance D (m) from the front end of a raceway, formed in front of the tuyere, to a furnace wall to the radius R (m) of the furnace body at the height of the tuyere satisfies the following inequation (2). β = C pig + C slag + C coke / C gas D / R > 0.13 β + 0.07 where C pig is the heat capacity (W/K) of hot metal in the lower portion of the furnace, C slag is the heat capacity (W/K) of slag in the lower portion of the furnace, C coke is the heat capacity (W/K) of coke in the lower portion of the furnace, and C gas is the heat capacity (W/K) of reducing gas in the lower portion of the furnace.

    摘要: Provided is a method that can achieve energy saving and CO 2 emission reduction when producing reduced iron from iron oxide. The method comprises: an iron oxide charging step of charging iron oxide into a reducing furnace; a reducing gas blowing step of blowing a reducing gas into the reducing furnace; a reduction step of reducing the iron oxide by the reducing gas in the reducing furnace; a methane synthesis step of synthesizing a gas composed mainly of methane from hydrogen gas and part of a furnace top gas discharged from a furnace top of the reducing furnace; and a gas reforming step of heating the methane and a remainder of the furnace top gas as a raw material gas and reforming the raw material gas into the reducing gas, wherein the steps are mutually connected in a circulation system, and operation is continued while supplementing carbon running short during the operation in one or more steps selected from the reducing gas blowing step, the reduction step, the methane synthesis step, and the gas reforming step or in one or more connecting parts between two or more steps selected from the reducing gas blowing step, the reduction step, the methane synthesis step, and the gas reforming step.

    摘要: Provided is a method that can realize energy conservation and reduction in CO2 emissions when producing reduced iron with iron oxide. The method for producing reduced iron includes an iron oxide charging process in which iron oxide is charged into a reducing furnace, a reducing gas blowing process in which reducing gas is blown into the reducing furnace, a reduction process in which the iron oxide is reduced with the reducing gas in the reducing furnace, a methane synthesis process in which a gas containing methane as a main component is synthesized from hydrogen gas and a part of furnace gas discharged from top of the reducing furnace, and a gas reforming process in which the methane gas and furnace gas excluding those supplied to the methane synthesis process are used as a raw material gas, and the raw material gas is heated and reformed into the reducing gas, where according to changes in a ratio H2/CO of Hz and CO in reducing gas blown into the reducing furnace, an amount of furnace gas V1 supplied to the methane synthesis process and an amount of water vapor Vw in furnace gas supplied to the gas reforming process are adjusted to control a mass balance in processes from the iron oxide charging process to the reduction process.
