摘要: 铁酸钙是高碱度烧结矿的主要黏结相,其生成量与烧结矿质量有着密切关系,而适宜的黏结相量也是烧结过程中节能降碳的一个重要因素。以铁酸一钙(CF)为初始黏结相,用赤铁矿(Fe2O3)模拟铁矿粉,研究铁矿粉粒度组成对烧结中适宜的黏结相量的影响。结果表明,随着铁矿粉粒级的增加,获得同一抗压强度时烧结试样所需的黏结相量增加。相同粒度范围下,随着CF含量增加,抗压强度呈先增大后减小的变化趋势,其最大值对应于该粒度下适宜的黏结相量。不同粒级范围下,随着Fe2O3粒级的增加,最大抗压强度呈下降趋势。同时,适宜黏结相量向增加方向偏移。试验还发现,CF与Fe2O3反应有低熔点液相—高铁铁酸钙(Ca3.6Fe14.4O25.2)生成,增加了烧结中黏结相量。新相Ca3.6Fe14.4O25.2的生成随着CF含量增加和Fe2O3粒级减小而增加,揭示了初始黏结相与实际黏结相生成量的关系。Abstract: Calcium ferrite is main bonding phase in high-basicity sinter, its formation is closely related to the sinter quality, and the appropriate amount of bonding phase is also an important factor of energy saving and carbon reduction in the sintering process. In this work, mono-calcium ferrite (CF) as an initial bonding phase and pre-sintered hematite (Fe2O3) powder as iron ore fines were used to investigate the influence of particle size composition of iron ore fines on the appropriate amount of bonding phase in sintering process. The results show that the amount of bonding phase needed for obtaining the same compressive strength of sintered samples increases with the increase of iron ore fines size. At same particle size range of iron ore fines, the compressive strength increases first and then decreases with increase of CF addition, and its maximum value should be corresponding to the suitable amount of bonding phase. At different particle size range, the maximum compressive strength decreases with increase of iron ore fines size, simultaneous the suitable amount of bonding phase shiftes to the direction of increasing bonding phase amount. Besides, CF reacts with Fe2O3 to form a calcium rich-ferrate (Ca3.6Fe14.4O25.2) with the low melting point, increasing the amount of bonding phase in sintering process. The Ca3.6Fe14.4O25.2 formation as a new phase increases with the increase of CF addition and the decrease of iron ore fines size, which revealed the relationship of amount between actual bonding phase and initial one in sintering process.
