Abstract
The metallurgical property of sinter is an important factor affecting the smooth operation of blast furnaces (BF), because it has a great impact on the permeability of BF and solid fuel rate. In order to promote the combustion of solid fuel and the mineralization of flux in sintering process, and eventually improve the strength of sintered ore, a series of investigation on segregation granulation by fuel and flux in coating were carried out, including the sinter pot experiments, the morphology analysis, and the discussion combine with phase diagram. The experimental results show that, (1) as the CaO increased from 0% to 40% and coke breeze increased from 0% to 100%, the sintering indices were improved, the tumble strength of sinter increased from 65.8% to 68.4%, the rate of qualified products increased from 77.4% to 81.0%, and the micro-strength of sinter increased from 68.7% to 75.9%. (2) There are three reasons for the high strength of sinter by segregation granulation of fuel and flux in coating, (a) the complete combustion of solid fuel and release the heat, (b) the effective absorb heat and mineralization of flux, and (c) the improvement of fluidity of bonding phase. The outcomes of the present work may provide a new method to improve the strength of sintered ore and give some reference for better understanding segregation granulation process and using it in actual operation.
