Abstract
ABSTRACT The application of iron carbon agglomerates (ICA) in blast furnace (BF) is considered to be an innovative technology of low-carbon ironmaking. In this paper, the influence mechanism of different reactive ICAs on softening-melting-dropping properties of BF mixed burdens was revealed. The results show that mixing ICA in the ferrous burdens can effectively improve softening-melting dropping properties of mixed burdens and the improvement effect is the best when the iron ore ratio of ICA is 20%~30%. The influence mechanism is: (1) ICA has a coupling effect with the reduction of ferrous burdens, which can promote reduction of ferrous burdens and improve softening-melting performance of mixed burdens. (2) ICA can promote the molten iron carbonization and reduce the viscosity of primary slag, which can improve dropping performance of slag-iron. (3) ICA can support the skeleton of burden bed and space the burdens, which can improve gas permeability of burden bed.
