Abstract:Coupling of pure oxygen blast furnace and coal gasification is an important way to reduce energy consumption and carbon emission in ironmaking and coal gasification process. The key to realize gas conditioning and coke ratio reduction is to study the gasification difference of different reactive carbons and its impact on iron ore reduction. The experimental studies for gasification of charcoal, semi-coke and coke and the reduction of sinter and pellet ore were carried out under condition of simulating the coupling process of oxygen blast furnace and coal gasification. The results show that the order of reactivity for three carbons with CO2 and steam is charcoal > semi-coke > coke, the reaction starting temperatures with CO2 are 650.0, 730.0 and 877.5 ℃,respectively, and the reaction starting temperatures with steam are 613.5, 672.0 and 841.5 ℃, respectively. The characteristic reaction temperatures of three carbons with steam are all lower than that with CO2. The activation energies of charcoal, semi-coke and coke with CO2 are 109.51, 119.31 and 176.84 kJ/mol, respectively, while the activation energies with steam are 167.59, 211.67 and 238.65 kJ/mol, respectively. Among the three kinds of carbons, charcoal has the best reactivity and the lowest activation energy. Addition of high reactive carbon can promote the reduction of iron ore, thus the promotive action of charcoal and semi-coke is better than that of coke. Compared with the situation that is no carbon addition, after adding the most reactive charcoal, the reduction degree of sinter and pellet increase by 13.72% and 18.37% respectively. Compared with adding coke, adding the most reactive charcoal increases the reduction degree of sinter and pellet by 2.07% and 14.98% respectively. In blast furnace, an appropriate amount of high reactive carbon can be used to replace coke, so as to reduce the coke ratio, promote the conversion of CO2 to CO and steam to H2 and improve the quality of gas.
