Background
With the continuous development of economy in China, the living standard of people is continuously improved, and the demand of social infrastructure on steel materials is continuously increased. In 2019, the yield of crude steel in China reaches 9.96 hundred million tons, the yield of pig iron also reaches 8.09 hundred million tons, and the double-refreshing history is new and high. Because of the energy structure of rich coal, less oil and gas shortage, the non-blast furnace ironmaking technologies such as gas-based direct reduction and the like cannot be popularized and applied in China, and the blast furnace ironmaking production process flow is still the main point at present. Nearly 600kg of coal is consumed for producing 1 ton of molten iron in blast furnace ironmaking, and the coal consumption of steel production reaches 4 hundred million tons in China every year, which accounts for nearly 10 percent of the total coal consumption in China. Because coal belongs to non-renewable resources, the mining, processing and using processes of the coal all cause pollution to the environment, and the release of carbon dioxide by combustion is even more a climate problem such as global warming. The search for environment-friendly fuels becomes one of the important tasks of reducing the coal consumption in iron-making production, developing green steel technology and realizing low-carbon metallurgy.
The implementation of the technology of blowing the coal powder into the blast furnace greatly reduces the coke consumption in the blast furnace production, can effectively reduce the pollutant discharge in the steel production while reducing the iron-making production cost, and becomes one of the main technologies for the green development of the steel. The early blast furnace production injection pulverized coal completely adopts anthracite, and the characteristic of high fixed carbon content in the anthracite is utilized to replace blast furnace metallurgical coke. Later, as the supply of anthracite and the reserve of raw coal are continuously reduced and the price is continuously increased, the mixing and spraying of the bituminous coal which is cheaper and has richer reserves and the anthracite become the main measure for further reducing the cost of molten iron of iron and steel enterprises. Recently, the resource of blast furnace injection fuel is expanded to be the key work concerned by a plurality of iron and steel enterprises, and lean coal, lignite, semi coke and upgraded coal are one of the resources selected by the blast furnace coal powder injection technology. Meanwhile, as a large country for agricultural production, China has abundant biomass resources, the amount of agricultural and forestry wastes generated each year reaches 20.29 hundred million tons, the amount of the wastes which can be recycled reaches 13.24 hundred million tons, and the amount of the wastes is reduced to 3.82 hundred million tons by standard coal, and the use of biomass as blast furnace injection fuel is also concerned by a plurality of ironmaking producers. Compared with fossil fuels, the biomass resources have the characteristics of regeneration and carbon neutrality, carbon dioxide released in the combustion process can be absorbed again through light and action in the production process, and the biomass resources injected in blast furnace ironmaking can effectively reduce the emission of ironmaking production pollutants and carbon dioxide.
Compared with fossil fuels such as anthracite, bituminous coal, lean coal, lignite, semi-coke, upgraded coal and the like, biomass with the potential of replacing fossil fuels has the characteristics of wide source, reproducibility and good combustion performance, but the following problems generally exist: 1) the defects of high moisture content, low fixed carbon and calorific value, low energy density, looseness and porosity seriously affect the transportation, storage and use of the carbon fiber; 2) the straw biomass has the problems of high ash content and alkali metal content, the direct injection of the blast furnace is continuously used, so that gun blockage and tuyere small sleeve slag bonding are easily caused, the high-temperature metallurgical performance of coke, sinter and pellet in the blast furnace can be strongly damaged, and the production economic and technical indexes of the blast furnace are seriously influenced; 3) the main components of biomass comprise cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, so that the biomass generally has strong toughness, and powder making equipment such as a medium-speed mill, a ball mill and the like is difficult to crush the biomass into the particle size required by fuel injected into a blast furnace.
Therefore, if biomass resources are applied to blast furnace ironmaking production efficiently, upgrading treatment of the biomass is needed. The biomass pyrolysis carbonization can effectively remove moisture and volatile components in the biomass raw material, and improve the content and calorific value of fixed carbon. However, due to the enrichment of ash caused by the pyrolysis and carbonization processes, the ash content in the prepared biomass pyrolytic carbon is greatly improved, and the alkali metal content far exceeds the requirement of pulverized coal injection of a blast furnace. Meanwhile, the ash melting point is low due to the high content of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal in the biomass pyrolytic carbon, and the normal production of the blast furnace is influenced due to the fact that a gun is easily blocked by the blast furnace and a tuyere is easily subjected to small sleeve slag bonding when the blast furnace is blown; the increase in alkali load also affects the metallurgical properties of coke and ore in the blast furnace. In addition, although the energy density of the biomass charcoal is improved to a certain degree, the biomass charcoal still has small volume density, and segregation is easily caused when the biomass charcoal is mixed with pulverized coal for pulverizing and injecting, so that pulverization, conveying and injecting of a mixed sample are influenced.
In view of the above, there is a need to design an improved method for preparing a biomass charcoal composite fuel for blast furnace injection to solve the above problems.

As can be seen from Table 1, the volatile matter of the drying base of the hydrothermal carbon prepared in examples 2 to 5 is between 38.6% and 43.5%, and the ash content is between 3.7% and 4.2%. Compared with the hydrothermal carbonization time, the hydrothermal carbonization temperature has more obvious influence on the components of the prepared hydrothermal carbon, and the volatile components and the ash content of the composite hydrothermal carbon drying base are gradually reduced along with the increase of the hydrothermal carbonization temperature. The main reasons are that the higher hydrothermal carbonization temperature can promote the degradation of main components such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in the soybean straws and accelerate the removal of volatile matters, and meanwhile, the ash content in the soybean straws and lean coal contains water-soluble mineral substances, so that the increase of the hydrothermal carbonization temperature accelerates the migration of the soluble mineral substances to a liquid phase and reduces the ash content in the prepared hydrothermal carbon.
And carrying out hot pressing on the prepared hydrothermal carbon and preheated anthracite to prepare the biomass carbon composite fuel. The volume density of the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared and obtained is 2.39g/cm3~2.49g/cm3The high-strength high-heat-resistance high-temperature-resistant coal has high forming rate (94% -96%), compressive strength of 0.23-2.24 MPa, moisture content of 1.2% -1.3%, volatile components of a drying base of 15.3% -17.3%, ash content of the drying base of 6.6% -7-29.6 MJ, a heating value of the drying base of 28.7-1350.6 MJ, the sulfur content of the sample is kept between 0.25% -0.27%, the alkali metal content of the alkali metal meets the requirement of the ultra-low-alkalinity-resistant high-temperature-resistant high. As can be seen from Table 2, the components for preparing the biomass charcoal composite fuel and the blast furnace injection process performance under different conditions are slightly different, but the biomass charcoal composite fuel can meet the requirement of blast furnace injection, can be used as a substitute fuel of blast furnace injection pulverized coal, and can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in iron-making production.

Table 4 Performance of examples 6-10 for preparing biomass charcoal composite fuel
As can be seen from Table 4, the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared in examples 6 to 10 has a bulk density of 2.36g/cm3~2.63g/cm3The samples prepared in different embodiments have larger difference, which is mainly caused by the mixture ratio of the composite hydrothermal carbon and the anthracite. The bulk density and the true density of the anthracite are both larger, and the volume density of the biomass carbon composite fuel can be increased by improving the proportion of the anthracite. Meanwhile, it can be seen that the forming rate is gradually reduced along with the increase of the proportion of the anthracite, and the forming rate is increased when the composite hydrothermal carbon: when the anthracite data is 30:70, the forming rate is reduced to 85%, and in order to ensure that the biomass charcoal composite fuel has higher forming rate, the proportion of the hydrothermal charcoal needs to be controlled to be more than 30%. The compressive strength is more than 0.19 MPa.
The biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared in the embodiments 6 to 10 has the dry basis moisture content of 0.9 to 1.1 percent, the dry basis volatile component of 15.2 to 17.4 percent, the dry basis ash content of 6.2 to 8.2 percent, the dry basis calorific value of 28.6MJ to 29.2MJ, the sample sulfur content of 0.23 to 0.31 percent, the alkali metal content of 0.07 to 0.09 percent, the ash melting point of 1322 to 1388 ℃ and the Hawski grindability index of 67.2 to 72.6 percent, and meets the requirements of a blast furnace coal powder injection process on the components, the heat value, the harmful element content and the medium-speed grinding powder. As can be seen from Table 4, the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared under different conditions has slightly different components and blast furnace injection process performance, but can meet the requirement of blast furnace injection, can be used as a substitute fuel of blast furnace injection pulverized coal, and can reduce the consumption of fossil fuel in iron-making production.

As can be seen from table 6, the molding pressure and the molding time have significant effects on the properties of the prepared biomass charcoal composite fuel, especially have the greatest effects on the bulk density and the molding rate, and the bulk density is continuously increased along with the increase of the molding pressure, the molding rate is increased, and the compressive strength is enhanced; the volume density and the forming rate can be increased by prolonging the forming time, and the compressive strength is improved to a certain extent. The molding pressure and the molding time have little influence on moisture, volatile matters, ash content, calorific value, sulfur content and alkali metal content, and the ash melting point has no great change. With the reduction of the forming pressure and the shortening of the forming pressure, the Hawthorn millable index of the biomass charcoal composite fuel is slightly increased. Therefore, the composite hydrothermal carbon and the high-metamorphic coal are mixed and hot-pressed, so that the performance of the composite fuel is improved, and the milling, pipeline conveying and injection performance of the mixed fuel is improved.
Examples 15 to 17
Examples 15 to 17 provide biomass char composite fuel for biomass blast furnace injection, which is different from example 3 in the biomass raw material used, and the specific values for each example are shown in table 7. The other preparation methods are substantially the same as those of example 3, and are not repeated herein. Table 8 shows the properties of the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared in examples 15 to 17.

As can be seen from table 8, the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared in examples 15 to 17 can meet the requirement of blast furnace injection smelting, wherein the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared when the palm shells are biomass raw materials has the best performance, the ash content is only 6.2%, the calorific value reaches 32.3MJ/kg, the sulfur content is 0.23%, the alkali metal content is only 0.07%, the ash melting point reaches 1386 ℃ and the hastelloy index reaches 73.9%, and can meet the requirement of blast furnace smelting on the quality of the injection fuel.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 provides a biomass charcoal composite fuel for blowing of a biomass blast furnace, which is different from example 3 in that the biomass is subjected to hydrothermal carbonization and then mixed with low-metamorphic coal for heat preservation. The rest is substantially the same as embodiment 3, and will not be described herein.
TABLE 9 COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1 preparation of Biomass charcoal composite Fuel Properties
As can be seen from Table 9, the biomass charcoal composite fuel prepared in comparative example 1 has lower volume density, molding rate and compressive strength than those of example 3; the biomass composite fuel prepared in the comparative example 1 has higher moisture content, volatile content and ash sulfur content than those of the biomass composite fuel prepared in the example 3, and has a lower calorific value; comparative example 1 also contained a higher alkali metal content, a lower ash melting point and a harshness grindability index. In the comparative example 1, the forming rate of only 85 percent can not meet the requirement of industrial production of the biomass charcoal composite fuel, the alkali metal content reaches 0.15 percent, and the requirement of blast furnace injection on the alkali metal content of the fuel can not be met. Thus, the present invention can produce significant beneficial effects by hydrothermally carbonizing low metamorphic coal with biomass.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
