Description

Method for producing cokes [

The present invention relates to a coke making method, and more particularly, to a coke making method for preventing a problem of a coke oven due to pulverized coal generated during drying of coal as a raw material of coke.

Typically, coal is charged into the carbonization chamber of the coke oven, and the coal is calcined to produce metallurgical coke.

On the other hand, coal for producing coke for metallurgy contains 3 to 10% of water, and in order to improve the quality of coke, it is necessary to carry out a step of drying coal, and it is adjusted to 4 to 7% .

However, when the coal is dried to remove moisture or moisture content, pulverized coal is generated. When the pulverized coal is introduced into the carbonization chamber of the coke oven, it is attached in the form of carbon to the inner wall of the carbonization chamber, Or closing the inside of the piping through which the gas generated in the coke oven is discharged.

Therefore, the fine carbon is molded using an organic binder, which is then put into a carbonization chamber.

However, when the price of coal was higher than 300 dollars per ton, it was possible to obtain economical efficiency even by using an expensive binder. However, recently, the price of coal has fallen below 100 dollars, And the economy is deteriorating. In addition, when the briquettes in which the fine coal is formed by using the binder are charged into the carbonization chamber, the pressure (the gas flow expansion pressure) inside the carbonization chamber excessively increases, which causes the collapse of the coke oven.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method of manufacturing a coke according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of other various forms of implementation, and that these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, It is provided to let you know completely.

A method of manufacturing a coke according to an embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a coke that can prevent coke oven damage and improve coke strength. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a coke which minimizes the amount of pulverized coal generated in the course of drying a raw material for coke production, that is, coke oven before charging it into a coke oven, to be.

1 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a method of manufacturing a coke according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a coke according to an embodiment of the present invention will be sequentially described with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, raw coke of coke is prepared (S100) and dried (S200). Coal is classified as coking coal and untreated coal depending on whether it is cohesive. Here, the coking coal is excellent in the cohesion between the coal particles, and when used as the coking coal, the strength of the coke is improved, but the cost is high. However, there is a problem that the quality of the coke is deteriorated when the coke is used in the production of coke because there is no bonding ability between the coal particles or is very low. Therefore, in order to reduce coke production cost while ensuring the quality of coke, conventionally, unbaked coal and coking coal are mixed and used as coking coal. In the embodiment of the present invention, bituminous coal, one of coking coal, Are mixed and used.

The coke making coking coal, that is, coal has moisture content of about 10%. When the coal is dried to remove moisture to 4 to 6%, the quality of the coke is improved and the use ratio of the tinning coal is increased .

Therefore, when the raw coke is prepared, it is dried (S200). In order to dry the coke, the coke can be dried by a method such as loading the coke to a moving means such as a conveyor, and moving the inside of the drying oven sequentially through the drying furnace. At this time, the inside of the drying furnace may be heated by using a separate heating means such as a radiator, or the raw coal may be dried by supplying hot air to the drying furnace. In the embodiment, the water is dried so that the water content of the coke is 4 to 6% by weight.

Of course, the drying method and the drying apparatus for coking coal are not limited to the above-described examples, and various methods and means can be applied.

On the other hand, as the raw coal is dried, moisture contained in the raw coal is reduced, and fine particles, that is, pulverized coal is generated. Here, the pulverized coal means particles less than 0.3 mm. In the case where the raw coal is charged into the coke oven in such a state that it has such pulverized coal, it is attached in the form of carbon on the inner wall of the carbonization chamber of the coke oven of the pulverized coal to damage the inner wall of the carbonization chamber, or the gas generated from the coke oven This causes the inside of the pipe to be closed. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the pulverized coal generated in the drying process of the coke oven from flowing into the coke oven.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the pulverized coal generated during the drying process of the raw coal is recovered and reprocessed in a state in which no problem occurs. For this purpose, a dust collector is connected to the drying furnace for drying the raw coal, and the unreacted fines generated during the drying process are sucked into the dust collector. In the drying furnace, coke having a larger particle size than that of the pulverized coal remains, and the pulverized coal is collected in the dust collector, and the pulverized coal is classified into pulverized coal and opaline coal (S300). Hereinafter, the pulverized coal classified in the dried cokes is referred to as "the fine pulverized coal" and the opossite is referred to as "opposed coal". In other words, the dirt coke is left in the drying furnace, which is larger in size than the coke pulverized in the pulverized coal, and the pulverized coal is collected in the dust collector, and the coking coal is classified into the pulverized coal and the coarse coking coal (S300).

In the embodiment, the suction force of the dust collector is adjusted so as to allow the coking material having the particle size of less than 0.3 mm, that is, the fine coking powder, to be sucked into the dust collector, and to leave the coking material having the particle size of 0.3 mm or more, Herein, 0.3 mm is a reference particle size (hereinafter, referred to as a first reference particle size) classified as opposed coarse powder and fine particle powder, and the first reference particle size can be variously changed by an operator.

Among allotted cokes and fine cokes classified from dried cokes, allotted cokes can be used for coke production. However, if the particle size of the pulverized coke is too small to be charged into the coke oven as it is, the above-described problems arise.

Therefore, in the present invention, the fine cement pulverized coal is assembled to have a usable particle size as a coke raw material. As described above, the fine pulverulent cokes are not well mixed even when water is added, so that the assemblability is not good. Accordingly, in the present invention, coking coal having a moisture content of about 10% by weight is mixed (S410) before the dried cement pulverized coal is dried, and the coal is assembled (420). Here, the raw coke prior to drying serves to suppress moisture generation by supplying water to the pulverized coke, and the powder fluidity of the coke pulp is lowered, thereby facilitating the molding. In addition, since most of the coke before drying has a large particle size of 3 mm or more, when the pre-drying coke is mixed with the fine coke, the particle size distribution and particle size fluidity are improved. Therefore, in the present invention, the pulverized raw material coal can be easily assembled by using the raw coal before drying without adding a binder as in the prior art.

In the embodiment, in the mixing of the pulverized raw cigarette and the raw cigarette before drying, the moisture content is 4 to 6% with respect to the whole mixture of the pulverized raw cigarette and the raw cigarette before drying. For this purpose, the water content of the raw cyanide before the mixing is measured before mixing, and the content of the cyanide to be added is determined according to the measured value. In the embodiment, when the total amount of the mixture of the coking coal before drying and the finely pulverized coking coal is 100 wt%, the raw coking coal before drying is mixed at 30 wt% or less.

On the other hand, the greater the amount of the coking coal before drying, the more the effect of preventing the scattering of the fine pulverized coal. However, this increases the water content of the coal and ultimately increases the amount of coal added to the carbonized chamber of the coke oven. Also, if the added amount of the raw coal before drying is too large, there is a problem that the volume to be charged in the molding step increases, resulting in facility load. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the raw coke before drying is mixed at 30 wt% or less.

In the above description, the raw coal before the drying treatment is directly mixed with the fine pulverized coal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to add moisture to the coke before the drying treatment and mix it with the fine pulverized coal. Thereby reducing or minimizing the addition amount or mixing amount of the coking coal before the drying treatment.

As described above, when water is directly added to the fine pulverized raw material having no hydrophilicity after drying, mixing or molding of the pulverized raw pulp is difficult. However, since the raw coke before drying is hydrophilic, mixing with moisture is easy. Therefore, when moisture is further added to the raw cigarette before drying, mixing with the pulverized cokes is facilitated by using it as a medium.

When the pulverized raw cigarette is mixed with the raw cigarette before drying, some of the pulverized coal is granulated to have a particle size of 3 mm or more (hereinafter referred to as an all-round coal), but the other part is not assembled (unformed coal) , Which accounts for approximately 10% by weight of the total 100% by weight incorporated in the molding. In order to improve the quality of the coke in the embodiment of the present invention, an all-round coal having a particle size of 3 mm or more is used as the material of the coke. For this purpose, a reference particle size (second reference particle size) for sorting the all-over-molded charcoal and the differential-type coal is set, and when the molding is completed, the molded coal is classified into two types of coarse- ). At this time, the second reference particle size is, for example, 3 mm, and the screen with the plurality of openings corresponding to the second reference particle size can be used to sort the allelic formations and the pulverized coal. Of course, it is possible to apply various classification means such as a net conveyor or the like, not limited to a screen-based classification method.

The second reference particle size for sorting the all-over-blasted coal and the pulverized coal is set at 3 mm in order to improve the classification accuracy or the classification efficiency in a screen or net conveyor.

The classified pulverized coal is mixed with the raw coke of the pulverized raw material and the raw coal before drying, and is then shaped (S410, 420).

Then, the all-over-molding coal is mixed with the allotment coal (S500). Then, the mixed allotment coal and the allotted raw coal are charged into the carbonization chamber of the coke oven (S600), and are made of coke as they are carbonized.

Table 1 is a table showing the composition and charging density of coke according to comparative examples and embodiments of the present invention.

The first comparative example is a coke made from 100 wt% of raw coke before drying and containing 9 wt% of water. The second comparative example is a coke made from 100 weight% of coking coal containing 5 weight% of water by drying coke. In the third comparative example, 10 wt% of the raw coke, 10 wt% of the raw coke, 80 wt% of the fine coke, 5 wt% of the raw coke, % By weight were mixed and molded.

On the other hand, the coke according to the first and second embodiments is formed by molding a particulate carbon without using a binder. More specifically, the coke according to the first embodiment is formed by mixing 10 wt% of the molded coke with 90 wt% of the dried opposed coke, and the coke according to the second embodiment is obtained by mixing 80 wt% 20% by weight of molded briquettes made of fine coking coal were mixed and molded. Here, each of the molding bins according to the first and second embodiments was formed by mixing 80 wt% of pulp with 20 wt% of the raw coke before drying.

Example 80% by weight of dried opacity coal and 20% by weight of briquette 5 wt% 735 kg / m ³ 20 wt% of the raw coke before drying and 80 wt%

Referring to Tables 1 and 2, the charging density at which the pre-drying coke having moisture of 9.0 wt% was charged into the carbonization chamber of the coke oven was as low as 600 kg / m ³ , and the charging density of the coke dried at 5.0 wt% Was significantly increased to 720 kg / m ³ . This is due to the effect of filling the container with a certain volume of coking coal by the improvement of the fluidity of the water-dried coke. In the third comparative example, the charging density was 755 kg / m ³ , which was obtained by molding the fine coking coal using the dried opposed coking coal and the binder.

In the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the charging densities were 724 kg / m ³ and 735 kg / m ³ , which is lower than that of the third comparative example using the binder, It is higher than the example.

It can be seen from this that the charging density can be increased by the method according to the invention without using expensive binders.

Table 2 is a table showing the strength of the coke produced according to the first to third comparative examples, the first and second examples, and the expansion / contraction pressure of the above-mentioned Table 1. Here, in the case of the first comparative example, an experiment was carried out after artificially squeezed to raise the charging density to 730 kg / m ³ .

The heating conditions for coke production were heating up to a final drying temperature of 1100 ° C at a charging temperature of 700 ° C and a heating rate of 3 ° C / min, and then the residence time was set to 60 minutes. The strength of the coke was measured, and the strength of the coke was used to mean the drum index (DI 150).

Referring to Table 2, when the raw coke before drying is used, the strength of the coke is as low as 80.3% even if the charging density is artificially increased, as in the first comparative example. On the other hand, as in the second comparative example, , The strength of the coke was improved to 82.5%. In the case of adding 20 wt% of the molded coke mixed with the binder to the pulverized cigarette as in the third comparative example, the strength of the coke is 83.6%, which is higher than that of the second comparative example. However, as the dry distillation is 1120 mmH ₂ O inflation pressure in the process of manufacturing coke, it was much higher than that of 700mmH ₂ O required for the stable operation of a conventional coke oven. The most important concern in the manufacturing process of coke is the disintegration of the coke oven due to the excessive expansion of the expansion / contraction pressure, so it is necessary to control the expansion / expansion pressure. That is, in order to manufacture a safe coke, it is necessary to adjust the carbon monoxide expansion pressure in the carbonization chamber of the coke oven to 700 mmH ₂ O or less.

On the other hand, the strength of the coke according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention is 0.1 to 0. 0% lower than that of the third comparative example, but is approximately 560 to 670 700 mmH ₂ O level. Thus, that is, the case of producing coke using seonghyeongtan molded particulate carbon, without a binder, while obtaining almost the coke strength of a similar level as when using the binder, to a dry distillation inflation pressure to below 700mmH ₂ O And safe operation is possible.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, in molding the pulverized coking coal generated in the drying process of the coke to be the raw material of the coke, the pulverized coal is mixed with the coking coal before the drying treatment, do. Therefore, while securing the strength of the coke, the pulverized coking coal can be molded at a lower cost than when molding the pulverized coking coal using a binder. Further, the pressure inside the carbonization chamber of the coke oven can be kept low, and the collapse of the coke oven can be prevented.
