Abstract:Under the development background of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral" proposed by China, the green reform of iron and steel enterprises is imminent. The fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emission of iron and steel enterprises mainly come from the blast furnace(BF) ironmaking process. The hydrogen-rich smelting technology of BF can effectively reduce the coke consumption and CO2 emission. The increase of H2 volume fraction in the BF will greatly change the coke property evolution process. Exploring this change process is particularly important for the stable and smooth production and energy conservation and emission reduction of BF. The effects of hydrogen-rich smelting in BF on coke gasification reaction, microstructure and melting erosion process of slag-iron-coke interface in cohesive zone are reviewed. Different from the traditional BF, the hydrogen-rich smelting of BF increases the weight-loss rate of coke gasification reaction in the low temperature zone, but the gasification process of coke under high temperature conditions mainly occurs on the surface, which inhibits the reduction of coke strength after reaction in the high temperature zone. The corrosion of slag iron in the cohesive zone of BF to coke reduces, and the high ash content in the coke surface layer hinders the occurrence of carburizing reaction. On this basis, the problems to be further studied are prospected, providing reference for hydrogen-rich BF production and coke selection.
