Process Features of ZXHT Hydrogen-based Shaft Furnace
The hydrogen-based shaft furnace of Zhangxuan High Technology is the first one in the world that produces DRI by using COG.Its designed ore ratio is 1.350,C content of DRI<3.0%,metallization rate ≥92%,COG consumption<650m3/t,productivity 3.50t/(m3·d),and annual output amounts to 550,000t/a.COG,the by-product of Xuansteel Coking Plant,is adopted as the reducing gas,which is heated to 920-960℃ in the heating furnace,and then reheated to 1000-1050℃ in the combustion chamber by oxygen injection before supplying to the shaft furnace to reduce high-quality pellets.The production process of this kind of furnace features hydrogen direct reduction,simple process flow,good adaptabili-ty to raw materials,diversified products,and high utilization rate of hydrogen energy.Compared with blast furnaces of the same output,its CO2 emission is reduced by 58.8%approximately,dust emission drops by 90%,and SO2 emission is decreased by 50%.
