Low Temperature Reduction Degradation Characteristics of Sinter,Pellet and Lump Ore

The reduction degradation characteristics of typical sinter, pellet and lump ore were tested with the reducing gas conditions simulating two kinds of irowmaking processes. The results show that, in the same condition of gas composition and temperature, the reduction degradation degree （RDI〈3.15mm） of sinter is high, RDI〈3.15mm of lump ore is low and RDI〈3.15 mm of pellet is in the middle level. With two kinds of gas composition simulating different iron-making processes, the reduction degradation indices （RDI） of three kinds of iron ores all present the tenden- cy of ＂inverted V-shape＂ in the temperature range from 450 to 650℃, and the RDI reach the maximum value at 550℃. The reduction degradation degrees of iron ores are extended when mixing the gas with hydrogen to increase the re duction potential, and the influence extent is discrepant for different iron ores. Colligating the increase amplitude of grains in small size fraction, the influence of reducing gas on lump ore is the greatest, the influence on sinter is the second, and the sensitivity of pellet on the reducing gas properties change is relatively small. As for the degradation form, lump ore and sinter both present the degradation ,of cracking, and the distribution of small grains generated from the cracking is in the range from 03 5 to 6. 3 mm uniformly. The lump ore presents surface cracking, while sin- ter presents integral cracking. The pellet presents the degradation of surface stripping, and the proportion of grains smaller than 0.5 mm is the highest, which is up to 90% in the grains smaller than 3.15 mm.

Fundamentals of fast reduction of ultrafine iron ore at low temperature

Fundamentals on the fast reduction of ultrafine iron ore at low temperature, including characterization of ultrafine ore, deoxidation thermodynamics of stored-energy ultra.fine ore, kinetics of iron ore deoxidation, and deoxidation mechanism, etc., and a new ironmaking process are presented in this article. Ultrafine ore concentrate with a high amount of stored energy can be produced by mechanical milling, and can be deoxidated fast below 700℃ by either the coal-based or gas-based process. This novel process has some advantages over others： high productivity, low energy consumntion, and environmental friendliness.

Effect of yttrium and manganese addition on catalytic soot combustion activity and anti-high-temperature stability of CeO_(2) catalyst

In order to analyze the influence of the addition of yttrium and manganese on the soot combustion performance and high temperature stability of CeO_(2) catalyst,a series of Y/Mn-modified CeO_(2) catalysts were prepared.The effects of structural properties,textural properties,oxygen vacancies,Ce^(3+),surface adsorbed oxygen species,reduction properties and desorption properties of oxygen species on the activity were analyzed by various characterization methods.The results of the activity test show that the addition of manganese is beneficial to enhancement of the activity,while the addition of yttrium increases the amount of reactive oxygen species,but decreases the activity.After aging at 700℃,the activity of the CeMn catalyst decreases most sharply,while the catalytic activity of the CeY catalyst can be maintained to a certain extent.Interestingly,the addition of yttrium and manganese at the same time can stabilize the activity.The fundamental reason is that yttrium and manganese move to the surface of the solid solution after aging,which increases the reduction performance of the catalyst,thus contributing to the increase of activity.Although the activity of CeYMn catalyst decreases after aging at 800℃,it is still higher than that of other catalysts aged at 700℃.

Effects of SO2 and H2O on low-temperature NO conversion over F-V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts

F-V2 O5-WO3/Ti02 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method.As the content of F ions increased from 0.00 to 0.35 wt.%,the NO conversion of F-V2 O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts initially increased and then decreased.The 0.2 F-V2 O5-WO3/TiO2 catalyst(0.2 wt.%F ion)exhibited the best denitration(De-NOx)performance,with more than 95%NO conversion in the temperature range 160-360℃,and 99.0%N2 selectivity between 110 and 280℃.The addition of an appropriate amount of F ions eroded the surface morphology of the catalyst and reduced its grain size,thus enhancing the NO conversion at low temperature as well as the sulfur and water resistance of the V2 O5-WO3/Ti02 catalyst.After selective catalytic reduction(SCR)reaction in a gas flow containing SO2 and H2 O,the number of NH3 adsorption sites,active component content,specific surface area and pore volume decreased to different degrees.Ammonium sulfate species deposited on the catalyst surface,which blocked part of the active sites and reduced the NO conversion performance of the catalyst.On-line thermal regeneration could not completely recover the catalyst activity,although it prolonged the cumulative life of the catalyst.In addition,a mechanism for the effects of S02 and H2 O on catalyst NO conversion was proposed.

Sintered Ore Sprayed by Acid and Alkaline Waste Water Resulted From Cold Rolling

In order to prevent the powdering of a sintered ore from influencing the smooth operation of a blast furnace,the conventional way to deal with it is that the CaCl2 solution is prepared by tap water,and then the solution is sprayed onto the sintered ore for improving its RDI（low temperature reduction degradation index）.The CaCl2 solution prepared by adding acid and alkaline waste water resulted from cold rolling is sprayed onto the sintered ore to improve its RDI.The values of RDI＋6.3 and RDI＋3.15 of the sintered ore which is sprayed by the CaCl2 solution with the CaCl2 concentration of 3.5%（mass percent） are increased by 17.5% and 11.63%,but the index of RDI-0.5 is decreased by 3.1% when the spraying amount of the solution is making up 0.5% of the total sintered ore sprayed in comparison with those of the sintered ore which is not sprayed by using the CaCl2 solution.Experimental results show that after the CaCl2 solutions prepared by adding the acid and alkaline waste water are sprayed on the sintered ore,RDI of the ore can be remarkably improved and therefore another way for recycling acid and alkaline waste water can be available,by which both cost for treating waste water and cost for producing a sintered ore can be decreased and environment is free of pollution by harmful substances in the waste water.
