Abstract:Mass transfer between slag and metal in a 200 t combined blown converter was simulated in a model with 1∶12 geometrical scale. Liquid paraffin was used to simulate slag, water to simulate molten steel, and compressed air to simulate top and bottom gases. Influence of relatively concentrated and asymmetric configurations of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 bottom tuyeres and bottom gas flowrates on the mass transfer rate between slag and metal in the converter was investigated with benzoic acid as transport material under the condition of 88 m3/h top gas flowrate in order to optimize configuration of bottom tuyeres, enhance stirring in the combined blown converter bath and improve dynamic conditions of slag and metal reactions. It is known from the investigation that the volumetric mass transfer coefficients (1.77×10-4 and 1.80×10-4 L/s, respectively) from cases of 4 and 6 bottom tuyeres at 1.14 m3/h bottom gas flowrate is lower than those (2.41×10-4, 2.24×10-4and 2.42×10-4 L/s, respectively) of the cases of 8, 10 and 12 bottom tuyeres for the configurations of 4-12 bottom tuyeres used in this research. At the bottom gas flowrate of 0.57 m3/h, the volumetric mass transfer coefficients (1.68×10-4 and 1.69 ×10-4 L/s, respectively) from the cases of 10 and 12 bottom tuyeres are higher than that (0.95 ×10-4 L/s) from the case of 8 bottom tuyeres. At bottom gas flowrates higher than 1.14 m3/h, the volumetric mass transfer coefficients from the cases of 8, 10 and 12 tuyeres are not much different, being in the range of 2.24×10-4-2.87×10-4 L/s. The volumetric mass transfer coefficients increase greatly with increase in bottom gas flowrate lower than 1.14 m3/h, while at the bottom gas flowrate greater than 1.14 m3/h, the volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases slowly. The average product of carbon and oxygen contents of molten steel at the end point during a whole of campaign was 0.00196×10-4 with the application of case of 12 bottom tuyeres in an industrial combined blown converter. At different stages of the converter campaign, the average carbon and oxygen product was 0.001 88×10-4-0.002 04×10-4. The ratio of the heats with the carbon and oxygen content product being less than 0.002 5×10-4 reached 90.53%.
