摘要
The large quantity of sediment produced in the hearth during vanadium titano-magnetite smelting in a blast furnace（BF） affects the stability of the blast furnace operation. Testing and analysis of the sediment in the hearth of Chengde Iron and Steel Company？s BF No.7 revealed that it was mainly concentrated in the location below the tuyere and above the iron notch. Notably, some of the bonding material（sediment） consisted of greater than 50% pig iron, and the pig iron distributed in the slag was granular. It is proposed that a large quantity of Ti C and Ti（C,N） are deposited on the surface of the pig iron. These high melting point materials mix with iron drops, preventing the slag from flowing freely, thus leading to the formation of bonding materials. In addition, the viscosity and melting temperature of the slag in the tuyere areas fluctuate greatly, and thus the properties of the slag are unstable. Moreover, the slag contains large quantities of carbon, which results in the reduction of Ti O2. The resultant precipitation of Ti is followed by the formation of Ti C in the slag, which also leads to an increase in the viscosity of the slag and difficulty in achieving separation of the slag-iron. In fact, all of these factors interact with each other, and as a result, sediment is formed when the operating conditions in the hearth fluctuate.
