Abstract(22) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The blast furnace is divided into two zones of hot zone and solid furnace charge zone.Based on the material and heat balance, according to lager-scale blast furnace production data, the mathematical model of injection of coke oven gas to blast furnace is established.The calculation results show that when coke oven gas injection volume is increased by 50 m3, ironmaking CO2 emissions will reduce 5%, while theoretical flame temperature is decreased by 35℃.If keep the theoretical flame temperature same as large-scale blast furnace, with the increase of amount of coke oven gas injection, CO2 emissions of ironmaking are larger than that without considering theoretical flame temperature, but it can always decrease CO2 emissions obviously.

Abstract:
Considering that extracting V2O5 from coal-stone by "roasting-alkali leaching" process exist some serious problems such as abundant alkali consumption, long leaching time and leaching solution with high impurity content and so on, the experiment of extracting V2O5 from stone coal calcine by pressure alkaline leaching was investigated, and effects of dosage of sodium hydroxide, liquid-solid ratio, leaching time, recycle leaching on the vanadium leaching were studied.The results showed that when sodium hydroxide 3.5% of ore calcine weight, the ratio of liquid-solid 1.5:1, leaching temperature 180℃, leaching time 2 h, the leaching rate of vanadium in stone coal is 86%, mass ratio of vanadium and silicon is 0.65, and pH of the leaching solution is 12.1.High-pressure alkaline leaching process with the advantage of high leaching rate of vanadium but low leaching rate of other impurities, provides a new way for extracting V2O5 from stone coal.

Pang Jianming, Guo Peimin, Zhao Pei
2010, 31(3): 15-19,24.
Abstract(17) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The reduction behavior of ore powder by co in homemade kg-scale fluidized bed was studied.The reduction degree of the sample increases and the utilization ratio of gas decreases when the reaction lasts longer time, which indicates that the reaction is faster at the beginning of reduction, while it becomes slower in latter process.The higher the reaction temperature, the higher the utilization ratio of gas and the reduction degree are, but the difference of utilization ratio among the different temperatures becomes smaller with time.The utilization ratio of gas can reach about 8% and the reduction degree 80% for 20 min reduction at 850℃, which shows under high temperature the reduction reaction by CO is very fast.The higher the reaction temperature, the higher the apparent reaction rate constant is, but the difference of apparent reaction rate constant among the different temperatures becomes bigger.The increase of reduction degree with gas velocity increase performs quite good linearity, which shows under high temperature even higher velocity of reducing gas can be used to improve the productivity of reactor when CO is used as reducing gas.With the increase of charge height, the metallization ratio and the reduction degree decrease, but the utilization ratio of gas increases.The apparent activation energy of the reduction of 1~3 mm iron ore powder by CO is about 59.11 kJ/mol in the fluidized bed experiment.

Abstract(12) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The SiO2 component of the traditional mold fluxes can easily been deoxidized by the Al contained in liquid high aluminium steel.So a series of mold fluxes containing lower SiO2 was designed to solve this problem, and their viscosity-temperature curves and melting points were tested.The results showed that these viscosities and melting points are suitable to industrial application.The thermodynamic analysis and the steel-slag interfacial reaction experiment showed that the mold fluxes of which SiO2 content is less than 6% can be called non-reactive mold powder.

Abstract(31) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The effect of annealing at 850~1 000℃ on structure, precipitate, texture and magnetic properties of 0.5 mm low-carbon and low-silicon cold-rolled non-oriented silicon steel produced by TSCR has been researched.Meanwhile, the impact of annealing at 950℃×5 min and 950℃×7 min has been compared.The results show that the grain size increased and became more uniformity with increasing annealing temperature and prolonging annealing time.So the iron loss decreased and the magnetic induction increased.The main precipitates were coarse AlN and mulriple precipitation of MnS.There was no less than 0.1μm small dispersion of AlN and MnS.The surface of annealed cold rolled sheets was relatively strong γ fiber texture which is harmful to magnetic induction, while the γ fiber texture weakens obviously in the center of it.The {001}〈010〉 cubic texture enhanced and {110}〈001〉 gauss texture basically remained unchanged in the center of annealed cold rolled sheets.

Abstract(14) PDF(1)
Abstract:
For the issue of flaking of the hot-dip galvanizing coating during drawing, the microcosmic characteristics of the coatings have been analyzed and experiments have been done to investigate the influence of coating thickness, Al content and steel substrate strength on its flaking-resistance.The results show that the fact of flaking is that the coating partially flaked off at the position far away from interface of steel substrate and coating, and not entirely flaked off from steel substrate because of poor adhesion.The flaking resistance of coating decreases with the increase of coating thickness and steel substrate yield to strength ratio, and increases with the increase of Al content in coating at the same experimental conditions.
