Description

Method and system for measuring or adjusting gas pressure in submerged arc furnace
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method and a system for measuring or adjusting gas pressure in a high-temperature charged environment, in particular to a method and a system for measuring or adjusting gas pressure in a submerged arc furnace.
Background
The submerged arc furnace is a device for smelting furnace burden by electrode current acting work to produce, is mainly used for producing industrial raw materials such as calcium carbide, industrial silicon, ferroalloy, yellow phosphorus and the like, and is divided into a calcium carbide furnace, an industrial silicon furnace, a ferroalloy furnace, a yellow phosphorus furnace and the like according to different products. These industrial raw materials are basic raw materials for manufacturing industry, and occupy a very important position in the whole national economy.
The submerged arc furnace can generate a large amount of gas in the smelting process, the gas accumulation can form a cavity in the melted furnace charge, when the cavity is broken due to large pressure, a large amount of gas can be sprayed out, the gas can carry out splashing on the melted furnace charge during spraying, equipment damage and casualties are caused, and the phenomenon is called 'collapse'.
The electrodes of ore-smelting furnace are divided into graphite electrode and self-baking electrode, the graphite electrode is prefabricated electrode, and the self-baking electrode needs to be continuously manufactured, continuously baked and formed and continuously consumed in production. Since the working end of the electrode is the discharge end, where the reaction is most severe, the gas generation is mainly at the working end of the electrode. The working end of the electrode is discharged through electric arc, the temperature is up to 3000-10000 ℃, and no means can measure the gas pressure of the cavity at the end part of the electrode at present.
The calcium carbide furnace and the ferroalloy furnace are generally closed furnaces, so that casualties cannot be caused when the splashing is caused by 'material collapse', and equipment damage is still caused. Calcium carbide furnaces and iron alloy furnaces generally release gas by utilizing block material gaps, and the gas permeability is deteriorated when a smelting position fluctuates greatly to cause a raw material interlayer, or the gas permeability is deteriorated when powder is too much, so that the furnace material is collapsed when the furnace material is hardened and the furnace gas cannot be released, and the molten furnace material is splashed to cause accidents.
Industrial silicon furnaces are generally open or semi-open furnaces, and no closed furnace lid is provided for protection. Because a large amount of silicon dioxide exists in furnace burden, the silicon dioxide is sticky at high temperature and cannot form gaps to release furnace gas, the method generally adopted for solving the problems is to release accumulated furnace gas by a method of pricking holes on the furnace burden by a steel bar, which is also called as furnace ramming, the used equipment is called as a furnace ramming machine, the furnace ramming is not timely to cause material collapse, and the instantaneously accumulated furnace gas for pricking the furnace burden is released to cause casualties.
Because the end part of the electrode is in an ultra-high temperature environment and is wrapped by a thick furnace shell, the pressure in a reaction area is difficult to measure at present, so that accidents are frequent, and the production safety of the submerged arc furnace is seriously damaged.

Example two method for measuring gas pressure in submerged arc furnace
As shown in fig. 1, a support tube 205 is disposed in the through hole 204 of the electrode 201, the support tube 205 is made of steel, graphite (carbon) tube or ceramic material, including alumina, zirconia, magnesia, silicon carbide, molybdenum silicide, etc. monomer or mixture, etc., the shape of the support tube 205 is a square tube or a circular tube, the support tube 205 is connected by bolts or welded, and embedded in the self-baking electrode in advance, and the support tube 205 is consumed as the electrode 201 is consumed, and needs to be replenished continuously.
As shown in fig. 1: when the electrode 201 discharges to do work on the burden 203, the heat generated by the discharge doing work causes the burden to generate chemical reaction to generate gas, and the gas is accumulated to form a cavity 200. A through hole 204 is reserved or manufactured in the electrode 201, an air duct 206 is connected to the upper portion in the supporting tube 205, and protective gas such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, inert gas and the like is introduced into the air duct 206. A flow sensor 207 is mounted on the ventilation pipe 206 to measure the flow Q of the protective gas flowing into the pipe, a pressure sensor 208 measures the pressure P1 in the ventilation pipe 206, and the flow Q and the pressure P1 measured by the flow sensor 207 and the pressure sensor 208 are adjusted by a proportional valve 209.
Theoretical basis of foundation 1:
when the air permeability around the cavity 200 is deteriorated, the air pressure in the cavity 200 is increased, and the proportional valve 209 is closed, because the air pressure in the cavity 200 is slowly increased, the cavity 200, the vent pipe 206 and the through hole 204 can be regarded as a closed container in an approximate manner from an engineering technology, the protective gas with a certain flow rate is introduced according to pascal's law, when the diameters of the vent pipe 206 and the through hole 204 are determined, the flow rate Q of the protective gas, and the lengths L and Δ P of the vent pipe 206 and the through hole 204 have a corresponding relationship, and the length L of the through hole 204 is continuously changed along with the consumption of the electrode 201.
Theoretical basis of foundation 2:
the opening degree of the proportional valve 209 is controlled so that the flow rate of the shielding gas flowing through the ventilation duct 206 is maintained at a Q value within a certain range, and when the pressure difference between the pressure sensor 208 and the electrode end is Δ P = P1-P2, Δ P is also maintained when the flow rate Q is maintained. A mathematical model is established according to the corresponding relation between the length L0 of the vent pipeline with the fixed pipe diameter, the length L of the through hole, the flow Q and the pressure difference delta P by building a physical model test and the like.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the data is plotted into a table, and curve fitting is performed according to the table, so as to obtain the corresponding relationship between different through hole lengths L, different flow rates Q, and different pressure differences Δ P under a fixed pipe diameter.
In another embodiment provided by the invention, a difference method is adopted to calculate the corresponding relation between the flow Q and the pressure difference delta P under different through hole lengths L. For example, when the length L2 of the through hole and the flow rate of the shielding gas in the ventilation pipe 206 are Qn between Q6 and Q7, and the pressure value of the pressure sensor 208 is P1, Δ Pn2 at different flow rates Qn can be calculated by fitting by using the difference method (Qn-Q6)/(Q7-Q6) = (Δ Pn2- Δ P62)/(Δ P72- Δ P62); therefore, a fit line of Q (L) and delta P (L) under different through hole lengths L is obtained, and the pressure difference delta P can be quickly known through the fit line according to the actual value of the through hole length L and the actual flow rate Q of the protective gas in the ventilation pipeline 206.
In the actual use process, the corresponding relation data of the length L of the through hole, the flow Q and the pressure difference delta P are continuously accumulated through system feedback, the delta P which is continuously close to the true value is obtained, and the calculation precision is improved.
For example, the following steps are carried out:
