摘要
Aiming at the current characteristics of blast furnace （BF） process, carbon saving potential of blast furnace was investigated from the perspective of the relationship between degree of direct reduction and carbon consumption. A new relationship chart between carbon consumption and degree of direct reduction, which can reflect more real situation of blast furnace operation, was established. Further- more, the carbon saving potential of hydrogen-rich oxygen blast furnace （OBF） process was ana- lyzed. Then, the policy implications based on this relationship chart established were suggested. On this basis, the method of improving the carbon saving potential of blast furnace was recycling the top gas with removal of CO2 and H2O or increasing hydrogen in BF gas and full oxygen blast. The results show that the carbon saving potential in traditional blast furnace （TBF） is only 38 56 kg · t ^-1 while that in OBF is 138 kg · t ^-1. Theoretically, the lowest carbon consumpt!on of OBF is 261 kg · t ^-1 and the corresponding degree of direct reduction is 0.04. In addition, the theoretical lowest carbon consumption of hydrogen-rich OBF is 257 kg · t ^-1. The modeling analysis can be used to estimate the carbon savings potential in new ironmaking process and its related CO2 emissions.
