摘要:
An apparatus and method for continuously treating material for performing such functions as burning, roasting, smelting, coking, melting, high temperature chemical reactions and the like in a combustion chamber wherein the chamber or an extension thereof, is tuned to permit combustion gases therein to resonate and to thereby effect maximum combustion efficiency. In particular, the invention concerns controllably varying the geometry of the combustion chamber, such as the length of a pipe or tubed section thereof in accordance with the variables of combustion occuring therein, so as to optimize efficiency of combustion and the reaction which takes place between the burning material and the material being treated or reacted on. In addition to effecting such reactions, the apparatus is also operable to effect the transfer of the heat of combustion to a heat transfer medium, such as water for generating steam or other form of heat transfer medium to maximize the utilization of the energy generated.

A method and means for improved control of the process for directly reducing materials containing iron oxides in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the charge feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as the source of both fuel and reductant, and oxygen-containing gas introduced along the kiln length, is disclosed wherein the portion of the reducing agent fed at the discharge end is injected in the form of two or more streams through the discharge end of the kiln onto the charge bed in such manner as to permit close and efficient control of the process, particularly when carried out in larger kilns. The important features in creating and distributing the streams over the bed are described including their longitudinal distribution and axial spread, as well as their contact regions with the kiln interior side walls and the quadrants of the kiln barrel into which they are directed, to meet the incremental heat demands along the successive segments of the charge bed, whereby the bed and gas phase temperatures may be controlled and heat transfer to the bed enhanced.

A method for maintaining the sulfur level below 0.05% by weight, and preferably below 0.02% by weight, in the DRI product from the process for directly reducing ore containing iron oxides in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, fed at the materials feed end and at the discharge end of the kiln, as both fuel and reductant is disclosed, identifying the important factors in the process affecting the sulfur levels in the DRI and steps and means for properly controlling these factors.
摘要:
A method and means for improving the efficiency of the process for directly reducing ore containing iron oxide in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the ore feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as both fuel and reductant, is disclosed wherein the charred coal or char found in the discharge product is recycled into the process at the discharge end of the kiln rather than the feed end as in the prior art. In particular, the recovered char, both coarse and finer particles, are transported to a recycle bin from which they are returned at a preselected rate to the kiln process by being injected along with the coal blown into the discharge end of the kiln. Alternatively, the recycle char alone may be fed without any coal at the discharge end of the kiln.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for firing a kiln as well as a method for producing cement clinker in which pulverized coal is initially entrained in an airflow of about 2% of the theoretical amount of air needed to combust the coal and transport it to a burner. Supplemental primary air heated sufficiently to vaporize volatiles in the coal is mixed with the coal flow in a burner, discharged into the kiln and hence ignited. Secondary combustion air heated to between 800.degree. F. to 1650.degree. F. and more is added in the kiln to effect the substantially complete combustion of the pulverized coal in the kiln.

A method and means for improving control of the process for directly reducing ores containing iron oxide in a rotary kiln using a solid carbonaceous reducing agent, such as coal, introduced from the ore feed and discharge ends of the kiln, as both fuel and reductant, is disclosed wherein the temperature profile of the moving bed of solids is maintained such that the temperature is moderated to remain below the sintering temperature of the materials in the bed from the feed end zone for about the first two-thirds of the kiln length and the temperature is then maximized within sintering limitations in the working zone which is limited to about the last third of the kiln length. The temperature profile is controlled by regulating the volumes of air supplied to the kiln atmosphere from air injectors at spaced intervals along the length of the kiln, after establishing the appropriate proportion of coal steadily blown into the discharge end of the kiln for the particular process constituents being used.
摘要:
A process for directly reducing iron oxide-containing materials to provide sponge iron by heating said iron oxide-containing materials in a rotary kiln while employing a solid carbonaceous reducing agent having a high content of volatile combustible components, wherein oxygen-containing gases are injected into the rotary kiln at a controlled rate through shell pipes into the free kiln space and the charge is moved through the rotary kiln countercurrently to the flow of the kiln atmosphere, is described. The invention lies in injecting oxygen-containing gases at controlled rates through nozzle blocks into the charge disposed over said nozzle blocks and in injecting oxygen-containing gases at controlled rates through shell pipes into the free kiln space in that region of the heating-up zone defined by a point along the length of the heating-up zone where ignitable particles of the solid reducing agent first appear and a second point before the reducing zone.

Reduced pellets are manufactured by mixing a powdered raw metallurgical ore such as of iron, chromium or manganese with a carbonaceous reducing material obtained by heat-treating anthracite, at temperatures between 600.degree. C and 1000.degree. C and subsequently pulverizing the heat-treated anthracite, pelletizing the resultant mixture and thereafter roasting the pellets.
摘要:
A process and apparatus are disclosed for delivering fuel and air to a rotary reduction kiln wherein both the fuel and air alternately flow through the same fluid distribution nozzle. Means are provided about the kiln for operating means to alternately deliver of fuel or air through the same nozzle. At least one of the operating means is selectively movable into and out of the position of operating said valve.
摘要:
A process for the reduction of iron ores and ores of other metals containing iron such as ilmenite using a high volatile non-caking coal as the reductant and fuel characterized in that part of the coal is added at the discharge end of the kiln in such a manner that it is distributed along the length of the kiln to within the kiln feed end zone of the kiln and so that substantially no coal is incorporated in the bed within at least the last 15% of the kiln length, and in that the remainder of the coal is added at the feed end of the kiln.
