Coke in the whole process of steelmaking in the end is what to do, just to provide heat or carbon and other substances into steel or iron?In the study of coal classification inside, one is divided into coking coal, coking coal and coke as main, and then you see is steel or iron coke must material. What is not clear. In the end, out of coal mining is mainly used to burn energy extraction, or said that coal like oil can be converted into other products, which is a coke can convert?
It is necessary to add coke, pellet, sinter ore, ore and other materials into the blast furnace in a certain proportion, batch and sequence, and then to produce molten iron in the reducing atmosphere of the blast furnaceAfter the hot metal to steel in converter against the general converter, scrap also need to add a certain amount of used to balance the heat. Hot metal and scrap are added to the converter after the oxygen lance for oxygen operation, the oxidation of oxygen to carbon in liquid iron, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and some non-metallic inclusions to form steel. Adding lime, dolomite, iron oxide and mine slag and coolant is needed in oxygen at the same time. After the completion of steel smelting in the tapping process according to different requirements with the corresponding iron alloy steel, after also refining process.
3) skeleton: smelting process in blast furnace is gas rise and decline occurred in the opposite charge of movement and interaction, the core permeability is the key operation of blast furnace. In the upper column, gas flow distribution of coke layer; in the middle of the column material, the coke from the skeleton effect, support has been melting the iron ore, the normal gas rise; in the lower column, high temperature in the solid massive existing coke and has become liquid hot metal and slag mixed together, become loose skeleton gas rising and falling iron and slag.
Coke is not used for blast furnace ironmakingThe use of blast furnace burden include iron ore (natural ore, sinter and pellets), solvent (limestone or dolomite), and coke, charge from top order batch into the furnace. Coke in the blast furnace ironmaking can be summarized as follows:(1) provide the heat: coke in the coke oven in front of the raceway in the intense combustion, combustion heat generated in the blast furnace smelting process is the main heat source(2) reduction: high temperature gas generated in coke combustion in the raceway, passed to the material in the process of heat rising, the endothermic reaction and coke formation, CO and H2, then CO and iron oxide in iron ore reduction reaction is transformed into metallic iron.
