    摘要: A dephosphorization method using a top and bottom blown converter. This method uses a converter charged with molten iron and slag, to blow an oxygen-containing gas from a top-blowing lance, supply the gas from an inlet of a blowing hole, and supply a control gas from an opening toward an axial center. This method has: a slag top-surface position measurement step, with the top surface of the molten iron measured in advance, measuring an arbitrary position in a top surface of the slag; a slag top-surface difference calculation of slag thickness difference between the measured top-surface positions of the molten iron and the slag; and a jetting condition adjustment step of, using the obtained slag thickness, adjusting a jetting condition of the gas jetted from the top-blowing lance into an appropriate range. The top-blown jetting condition is adjusted by comparing the slag thickness and the depth of a surface depression.

    摘要: A method and system for predicting slopping in a converter occurring during decarburization refining in the converter in which molten steel is produced from a molten pig iron by blowing oxidizing gas to the molten pig iron in the converter from a top blowing lance, or optionally further blowing oxidizing gas or inert gas from a bottom blowing tuyere to perform the decarburization refining of the molten pig iron. The method includes measuring an emission spectrum of a throat combustion flame blowing out from a throat of the converter, calculating emission intensity of the measured emission spectrum at a wavelength in a range of 580 to 620 nm, and predicting the occurrence of the slopping based on a time-series change of the calculated emission intensity.

    摘要: When the decarburization refining of molten iron is performed by top-blowing oxygen gas from the top blowing lance, the oscillation of molten iron, a bubble burst, and spitting due to the bubble burst are suppressed. A refining method for a converter includes decarburizing molten iron in the converter with a top blowing lance having Laval nozzles disposed at the lower end thereof by blowing oxygen gas on the surface of the molten iron in the converter through the Laval nozzles, in which one or both of an oxygen feeding rate from the top blowing lance and lance height LH are adjusted in such a manner that an oxygen accumulation index S(F) is 40 or less.

    摘要: A molten steel refining method includes throwing a powder to molten steel while heating the powder with a flame formed by combustion of a hydrocarbon gas at the leading end of a top blowing lance. The lance height of the top blowing lance (the distance between the static bath surface of the molten steel and the leading end of the lance) is controlled to 1.0 to 7.0 m, and the dynamic pressure P of a jet flow ejected from the top blowing lance calculated from equation (1) below is controlled to 20.0 kPa or more and 100.0 kPa or less. P=ρg× U2/2 . . . (1) wherein P is the dynamic pressure (kPa) of the jet flow at an exit of the top blowing lance, ρg the density (kg/Nm3) of the jet flow, and U the velocity (m/sec) of the jet flow at the exit of the top blowing lance.

    摘要: A top-blowing lance nozzle is configured to freely switch an adequate expansion condition so as to control an oxygen-blowing amount and a jetting velocity independently of each other without requiring a plurality of lance nozzles or a mechanically movable part. A lance nozzle is configured to blow refining oxygen to molten iron charged in a reaction vessel while a gas is blown from a top-blowing lance to the molten iron. One or more blowing holes for blowing a working gas are on an inner wall side surface of the nozzle, at a site where the lance nozzle has a minimum cross-sectional area in a nozzle axis direction or at a neighboring site of the site.
