Abstract:With the proposal of the goals of "carbon neutralization and carbon peaking" in iron and steel enterprises, it is very important to clarify the role of coke in the ironmaking process. At the same time, the promotion of hydrogen-rich smelting technology in blast furnace (BF) has brought great changes to the reaction behaviors of raw materials and fuels. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the effect of coke reactivity on the reduction-softening-melting process of BF burden in hydrogen free and hydrogen containing atmospheres, respectively. Simulate the actual burden structure of the BF, study the influence of coke reactivity on the ore reduction degree, coke gasification rate and pore structure, explore the influence of coke reactivity on the softening-melting property of burden and the permeability of the cohesive zone, and analyze the change mechanism of the interaction behavior between different reactive coke and slag iron interface. The results show that, the increase of coke reactivity increases the ore reduction degree and coke gasification rate at various temperatures. The surface porosity of coke increases at various temperatures. The porosity increases less in the hydrogen free atmosphere than in the hydrogen containing atmosphere, and the overall change range of coke internal pore structure is small. After the coke reactivity improves, the softening temperature range decreases and moves to the low temperature zone, the melting temperature range decreases in the hydrogen free atmosphere, and the melting temperature range slightly increases in the hydrogen containing atmosphere. The carbon matrix on the coke surface is seriously deteriorated and the surface strength decreases, the maximum differential pressure increases, and the permeability deteriorates. The influence degree in the hydrogen free atmosphere is stronger than that in the hydrogen containing atmosphere. After increasing coke reactivity, slag iron separation is better in hydrogen free atmosphere, and slag can be effectively fused with coke ash, so that the melting zone moves to the low temperature zone. In the hydrogen containing atmosphere, the coke surface has a high ash content, and can not be timely fused with the slag to update the active point on the coke surface, which increases the resistance of the wüstite reduction in the slag and metal iron carburization, which is not conducive to the improvement of the permeability of the cohesive zone.
