摘要:
A method of applying a hot composite on top of the refractory lining of steel making and processing vessels is disclosed. The composite may be applied to the refractory wall in more than one layer, including a dense intermediate layer for adhesion, and a less dense layer on top that is designed to be consumed as a slag-forming component during steel making and refining. The composite is applied by discharging a carrier gas containing a mixture of small particles, including particles of silica, particles of at least one high-temperature oxide based material and particles of solid carbonaceous fuel, through a carrier gas discharge nozzle. Additional substances may be added to the mixture to enhance the slag-forming process. A controllable flow of oxidizing gas is charged at high and preferably supersonic speed through an essentially crescent-shaped nozzle partially surrounding the carrier gas discharge nozzle. The carbonaceous fuel is ignited and rapidly burned, causing silica based material to become fluid and to coat the high-temperature oxide particles, thereby enhancing the adhering properties of said hot particles and facilitating the reaction of high-temperature oxide with the silica. The resulting hot gaseous mixture and hot particles are impacted on the refractory wall, where at least some of the hot particles adhere. By controlling the flow of oxidizable gas, the supply of fuel, or both, the amount of solid carbon in the composite applied to the refractory wall, and hence, the porosity of the deposit, is controlled.
摘要:
A burner/injector for providing a localized impingement flame or multiple flames for scrap heating and melting through use of a fluid fuel and at least one oxygen rich oxidizing gas. The burner/injector includes a liquid-cooled combustor for generating an impinging flame directed toward a scrap pile and a structure for injecting a controllable amount of a solid carbonaceous fuel and a controllable flow of high velocity oxidizing gas into space that has been previously occupied by the impinging flame. The burner/injector may be equipped to inject a solid slag forming materials and/or slag deoxidizing materials, and/or to inject an additional oxidizing gas for burning a small portion of preheated scrap, post-combustion of CO and iron-carbon melt refining. The burner/injector may be arranged as a simple liquid-cooled combustor permanently mounted through the furnace wall or roof, and may be equipped with single or multiple channels for injection of solid material and high velocity oxidizing gas. Separate injecting lances for high velocity oxidizing gas and/or solid carbonaceous fuel may be mounted on the furnace. Both the lances and the combustors may be equipped with a nozzles for additional injection of the additional oxidizing gas.
摘要:
A method of melting and refining metals by high-temperature impinging combustion products generated by a single or multiple oxy-fuel or fuel/oxygen/air combustors that direct a flame towards a predetermined area of scrap to be melted. Once a portion of charged scrap contacted by the flame or flames is melted, an injection of solid carbonaceous fuel is initiated, preferably through a combustion tunnel of at least one of the combustors. High velocity oxygen is directed, simultaneously with carbonaceous material, through at least one dedicated nozzle toward injected solid carbonaceous fuel to mix with this fuel and to generate CO, which is capable of forming foamy slag. Optionally, a supersonic stream of multiple streams of additional oxygen is directed toward the iron--carbon melt to initiate rapid melt refining.

摘要:
A method of steelmaking in an at least partially refractory lined furnace. The process includes the steps of retaining a portion of a hot liquid slag from a previous heat, and altering the retained slag with basic slag forming material to increase its basicity, melting temperature, and viscosity, and to reduce its melting temperature below the melting point. The altering step is performed before charging ferrous materials for a new heat. Altered slag is then positioned on the bottom of the furnace, or on the furnace walls, or both, using a slag coating technique. Ferrous metal is then charged, after which a second charge of basic slag forming materials may be added prior to and/or during the first controllable oxygen blow. A slagging off step is conducted after less than one-half of the oxygen is introduced into the heat and when the mass of oxygen already introduced is sufficient to oxidize approximately all of the silicon introduced with hot liquid metal charged into the furnace.
