Borisenko, PhD in technical sciences, I.V. Shulga, PhD in technical sciences, N.A. Desna, PhD in technical sciences (State Enterprise "Ukrainian State Research Coal Chemical Institute (UKHIN)", 61023, Kharkіv, Vesnina st., 7, Ukraine) The article shows the relevance of technologies that implement the possibility of expanding the raw material base of coking with the help of special methods for preparing the charge, among which tamping is currently taking the leading place in the world and in Ukraine. It is shown that when considering the issue of introducing the technology of coking the tamped charge, a previous link of the available raw material base with the planning of the main structural parameters of the coke oven is necessary. It will provide on the basis of global low-caking coals the production of coal coke with characteristics that are as close as possible to the requirements of the world's leading iron producers. On a general example, the developed complex and the procedure for performing the corresponding assessment are presented, the following includes: – a comprehensive analysis of the properties of bituminous coals intended to be used as components of the raw material base (technical, petrographic and other analysis); – drawing up on their basis model charges, taking into account the restrictions on ash content (≤ 9-10 %), burst pressure (≤ 7 kPa), thickness of the plastic layer (≤ 15 mm.); – laboratory determination of indicators of tamping capacity of model charges – density of rammed briquettes (γ, g/cm3 ) and their shear strength (σss, kPa); – laboratory coking of tamped model mixtures with subsequent determination and comparison of the properties of the obtained cokes; – based on the data on the tamping capacity of the model charges, which showed optimal results in terms of the formation of coke of the best quality and the parameters of the known (mastered) designs of furnaces and charge, the calculated determination of the value of the maximum height of the coking chamber for the studied composition and properties of the charge.

RAW MATERIAL BASE FOR COKING OF THE COKING PRODUCTION OF PJSC "ARCELORMITTAL KRYVYI RIH" IN THE PERIOD FROM 2017 TO 2021 © N.V. Mukina (Coke-chemical production of PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih", 50095, Dnepropetrovsk region, Kryvyi Rih, Krivorozhstal st., 1, Ukraine), D.V. Miroshnichenko, Doctor of Technical Sciences (NTU "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute", 61002, Kharkiv, st. Kirpicheva, 2, Ukraine) The article presents the data on coal components that were used in the charge for coking coke oven batteries №№1-4 (bulk coal charge) and №№ 5, 6 (tamped coal charge) of the coke-chemical production of PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" in the period from 2017 to 2021, as well as averaged information on some quality indicators of the produced coke. In general, the coal raw material base of the enterprise for the last five years has been of a stable inter-basin nature with a predominance of coals from the USA, Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation. It is shown that, as the tamping technology suggests, moisture content, bulk density and content of classes less than 0.16 and less than 3.0 mm in coal charges supplied to the coal waste plant. №№ 5, 6 are significantly higher than the values of similar indicators of coal charges supplied to the numbers 1-4. Along with this, due to the use of coals of a certain quality, ash content, total sulfur content and the thickness of the plastic layer in coal charges supplied to the coal bunker №№ 1-4, is slightly higher than similar indicators of coal charges supplied to the boiler №№ 5, 6. In total, during 2017-2021, the composition and quality indicators of the coal charge for the production of coke at the boiler plant №№ 1-4 practically did not change, while in the coal charge for the production of coke on coke oven batteries №№ 5, 6 there is a decrease in the share of highly volatile coals with a simultaneous increase in the content of medium-volatile and low-volatile components. The given values of the quality indicators of the obtained blast-furnace coke indicate that the use of tamping technology makes it possible to obtain blast-furnace coke of a higher quality than by using a traditional technology. In particular, the coke obtained at the oven batteries №№ 5, 6 are characterized by lower values of ash content, total sulfur content and abrasion (M10) with higher values of mechanical strength in terms of M25 and post-reaction strength (CSR). Keywords: coal, inter-basin raw material base, coking, charge tamping, coke quality. Corresponding author N.V. Mukina, е-mail: [email protected]

DEVELOPMENT OF RATIONAL TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS FOR HEATING OF A COKE BATTERY WITH A STAMPED CHARGING OF COALS © V.I. Goncharov, I.I. Sikan, Ya.I. Dyachuk, N.V. Mukina (Coke production of PJSC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih», 50095, Dnipropetrovsk region, Kryvyi Rih, Kryvorizhstal str., 1, Ukraine), I.V. Shulga, PhD in technical sciences (State Enterprise "Ukrainian State Research Coal Chemical Institute (UHIN)", 61023, Kharkov, Vesnina st., 7, Ukraine) The article is devoted to the introduction at the PJSC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih» coke plant of a promising technology for compaction of a coal charge, which allows obtaining blast furnace coke of high mechanical and "hot" strength from charges characterized by an increased content of lean components of various stages of metamorphism. Under the present circumstances, this is of great importance for increasing the economic indicators of the production of blast furnace coke and the operation of blast furnaces. The start-up of coke oven battery No. 6, designed for the application of this technology, necessitated the determination of rational technological parameters of heating: the temperature level in the control verticals and the location of the burners for supplying coke oven gas in the vertical along the heating wall. The article presents the calculations, the results of which confirm the expediency of rationalizing the actual starting (design) distribution of burners on coke oven battery No. 6. First of all, attention is drawn to the insufficient diameters of the holes in the burners for the extreme and pre-extreme verticals. This, according to the authors, caused underheating of the head zones and resin spills, which were observed during start-up operations on the battery. The replacement of burners at the edges of the walls by large diameters, carried out by the personnel of the coke shop of the coke plant PJSC “ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih” and LLC “Koksokhimstanciya”, combined with the full opening of the recirculation windows in these zones, improved the heating of the charge and significantly reduced the intensity of spills. The experience gained was taken into account when locating the control devices at coke oven battery No. 5, which was put into operation later. The article also formulates recommendations for adjusting the temperature regime of coking, depending on the grade and component composition, as well as the technological properties of coal charges. Keywords: coke oven battery, stumping of coal charge, temperature in control verticals, location of burners along the length of the heating wall. Corresponding author Ya.I.

The article describes the behaviour of coke in the blast furnace. Factors, which cause weakening and degradation of coke lumps at temperatures above 1300°C have been analyzed. On the basis of preliminary testing of samples taken from a blast furnace at different distances from the tuyère outlet and tests for thermo-abrasion ξ, the advisability of using the pre-tuyère chamber for the assessment of coke quality at high temperatures has been indicated. Thermodynamic calculations for the determination of the chemical composition of the products of reaction of coke ash mineral substances with elementary carbon and air, as well as the behaviour of coke at high temperatures under inert gas conditions are presented. The number of compounds forming from coke ash components during heating in a stream of gases of highly differential reductiveness reflects the complexity of the physicochemical phenomena.

To use effectively internal raw material base, JSC “Ural Steel” accomplished I category major overhaul of the blast furnace No. 2. The main purpose of the overhaul was to design a rational profile which could ensure an ability to operate with a charge containing 95 % of Mikhailovskii GOK (mining and concentrating plant) pellets having basicity of 0.5 by CaO/SiO2. The blast furnace No. 2 having useful volume of 1232 m3, was constructed by design of Danieli Corus, the Netherlands, and was blown in on December 30, 2020. In the process of guarantee tests, step-by-step increase of Mikhailovskii GOK pellets (Fetotal = 60.5 %, CaO/SiO2 = 0.5) content in the charge iron ore part was being accomplished from 55 to 95.1%. Charging of the blend containing pellets in the amount of 55% of iron ore part, was done by charging system 4OOCC + 1COOCC (Ore - Coke) with filling level 1.5 m. Under conditions of pellets part increase in the blend, the charging system was changed to decrease their content at the periphery, to increase it in the ore ridge zone and make it intermediate between periphery and the ore ridge. At the pellets share in the iron ore raw materials 0.75 the charging system was used as the following: 3OOCC + 1COOC + 1COOCC, while at the content 95.1% the following charging system was used: 2COOC + 2COOC + 1COOCC. It was noted that in the period of guarantee tests the furnace running was smooth. The average silicon content in the hot metal was 0.70% at the standard deviation 0.666. Sulfur content in the hot metal did not exceed 0.024%, the blowing and natural gas consumption figures were 2100 m3/min and 11000 m3/min correspondently, oxygen content in the blowing 26.5%, hot blowing and top smoke pressure figures were 226.5 and 109.8 KPa correspondently. The productivity of the furnace was reached as high as 2358 t/day at the specific coke rate 433 kg/t of hot metal. After guarantee tests completion, the pellets content in the iron ore part was decreased gradually from 95 down to 50%. The decreasing was made by 5% in every 6 hours of operation. Application of the mastered technology of the blast furnace No. 2 with the increased share of pellets will enable to stably supply the blast furnaces No. 1, 3 and 4 by iron ore raw materials in the proportion of 30-35% of pellets and 65-70% of sinter.
