Hainan is China‘s largest iron ore directly into the furnace of rich iron ore
production base, is open-pit mine, the total ore reserves of 314 million tons,
the main products for lump ore, iron ore fines and iron powder (Technical
Specifications Annex Table). Ore mines with an annual
output of 6 million tons, 400 million tons of refined ore production
capacity.
Hainan ore
hematite (Fe2O3), the biggest feature is the high-silica, low aluminum,
phosphorus, are acidic mine. Many imported ore
is low silicon, high-alumina. Compared
with imported ore, Hainan lower grade ore, but it is a smelting ore Hainan
excellent performance, very few harmful impurities with acid mine general ratio
of 5% to 10%, and imports of mineral complement. The following details:
First, Hainan has a blast furnace and sinter
ore characteristics
1, can improve the burden
structure, balance slag alkalinity, acidity with feeding the blast furnace is
preferred.
Blast
furnace slag basicity must be appropriate, in accordance with the process to
meet, the best principles of economy, the charge current industry structure is
recognized as the best high basicity sinter feed with addition of acid, into the
charge if the alkalinity is too high will lead smelting blast furnace can not. Balance slag basicity solutions
generally have three: First, add silica. The disadvantage is that
the silica ratio is too small, difficult to uniformly distributed blast furnace,
lower grade and more integrated into the furnace, economic efficiency; Second,
add the acid pellets. The disadvantage
is the high cost; Third, the addition of high silicon Hainan mine. The advantage is a good
metallurgical results, lower grade into the furnace less, better than silica
economic benefits; while much lower than the cost of pellets. So Hainan
mine in improving the charge structure, swap slag alkalinity, production
technology and economic indicators with good, a lot of choice with addition of
acidic minerals iron and steel enterprises.
Especially in the sinter case
has obvious cost advantages, increase the proportion of sintered iron mills to
reduce costs before the inevitable consideration. In this case, an
appropriate proportion of Hainan ore pellets or replace some high-grade outside
the block, can reflect a significant cost advantage.
2, to improve slag fluidity of great
benefit.
Blast furnace slag SiO2
content is low, while the high Al2O3, will result in a very difficult slag flow
furnace conditions unfavorable, blast furnace slag ditch clean-up volume. Many
imported ore is low SiO2 content, Al2O3 high, and high levels of Hainan Mining
SiO2, SiO2 / Al2O3 ratio of large, adding a certain amount of Hainan ore can
adjust the quantity and composition of the slag, the content of Al2O3 is also
reduced, very beneficial improve slag
fluidity.
3,
will help to improve blast furnace column permeability, increasing the amount of
pulverized coal injection, reduce production costs.
Hainan Mining has good
resistance to thermal cracking, thermal cracking index excellent; soft melting
temperature is relatively high, narrow range of reflow; RDI rate and other
characteristics. The
combined effect of high permeability are conducive to improving the charge
column, furnace conditions conducive to the smooth lines, you can compensate for
the increase in the amount of pulverized coal injection material deterioration
of the column permeability, and thus help to increase the amount of pulverized
coal injection, reduce production costs .
4, composition and stability,
particle size uniformity, impurity content is extremely good physical
properties.
Hainan mine high
iron and high silicon aluminum low phosphorus, is its inherent characteristics,
composition is very stable. Lump ore particle
size 8 ~ 40mm, 10 ~ 35mm which part 超过 75%, <5mm only about 0.3%, <1mm of
only 0.1%. Lump ore
particle size uniformity, this feature is better than Brazil, Australia and lump
ore.
Hainan
ore As, Zn, Na, Cu, Pb and other impurities in very small, in general, As less
than 0.005%, respectively, and Zn, Na, Cu, Pb is less than 0.01%,
respectively.
5, in favor of
retaining the furnace, to extend the life of the blast furnace
lining.
In the late
blast to use, has long been scouring the bottom hearth iron slag stream
gradually eroded after lining damage. TiO2
Hainan ore containing traces of blast furnace smelting production after a period
of time, there will be a small amount of TiC, TiN deposited on the surface of
the blast damaged, forming a thin protective layer, and prevent further erosion
of the lining to extend lining life.
6, suitable for the production of ductile
iron.
Hainan
features high silicon phosphorus ore, especially phosphorus typically <0.03%,
the production of ductile iron of a very good condition, but also another
important characteristic of Hainan mine.
7, Hainan powder ore sintering
characteristics.
Hainan
ore powder composition features high iron and high silicon, silicon content in
favor of adjustment sinter; secondly, the particle size of 3 ~ 8mm powder ore
accounted for 60% of the mine size composition suitable for nucleation,
particles less in the middle, there is conducive to the formation quasi-particles, and
improving the permeability of; Third, high strength sintered ore powder Hainan,
can improve the quality of sinter.
Second, comparative analysis of the economic
benefits of Hainan mine
The main products are
Hainan ore lumps, iron ore fines and iron powder, the ingredients of different
products have different ways, for example as follows:
2011 a month market price:
Hainan ore: FOB
Tianjin Harbour cabin end 1000 yuan / ton (tax included, the same below), 55% of
iron, silicon, 17%;
Hainan Fines: FOB Tianjin
Harbour cabin bottom 750 yuan / ton, 52% of iron, silicon, 17%;
Hainan iron powder: FOB
Tianjin Harbour cabin end 1300 yuan / ton, 63% of iron, silicon,
8%;
Australian PB
lump ore: Spot 1400 yuan / ton, 62% of iron, silicon, 5 percent;
Iran Blocks Mine: Spot 1100 yuan /
ton, 56% of iron, silicon 11%;
Pellet: 1520 yuan / ton, 61 to 62%
iron, silicon 5%;
Silica: 350 yuan
/ ton;
The first
ingredient ways: as a lump ore and lump ore imported directly into the furnace
silica alternatives
1,1
tons of Hainan lump ore (55% iron, silicon 17%) is equivalent to Australia with
0.89 tons of lump ore (62% iron, silicon, 5%) with addition of 0.126 tons of
silica (silicon 98%), with post-match Prices are as follows:
1400 yuan / ton × 0.89 吨
+350 yuan / ton × 0.126 tonne = 1290 yuan / ton
The above price is significantly higher than the
Hainan ore 1,000 yuan / ton. In other words, if you compare
the same iron grade, based on the cost of using PB lump ore with addition of
silica is much higher than the Hainan lump ore. Use only play
structure Hainan lump ore, slag basicity role to improve the swap charge, while
Hainan iron ore grade is not low, in fact, reduce raw material costs. In short, buy iron ore Hainan send
silicon.
2,
with the obvious advantage of the current price of lump ore in Iran contrast,
one ton of Hainan lump ore (55% iron, silicon 17%) corresponds with 0.98 tons of
Iranian ore (56% iron, silicon 11%) with addition of 0.063 tons of Silica
(silicon 98%), with the price with the following: 1100 yuan / ton × 0.98 吨 +350
yuan / ton × 0.063 tonne = 1100 yuan / ton
Thus, even with low-cost alternative
to the edge of the imported ore lumps of Hainan, the cost is still no advantage. Iran
blocks the same time as a high content of ferrous oxide ore, generally greater
than 16%, directly into the furnace using the reduction due to the poor
performance caused by the blast furnace coke rate increases, thus increasing the
difficulty of blast furnace operation to some extent, by contrast, Hainan advantage smelting hematite easily
restore more prominent.
In summary, as with
addition of Hainan lump ore slag alkalinity adjustment from the obvious economic
benefits superior to the imported ore with addition of silica.
The second ingredient ways: lump ore
pellets as an alternative to the acid directly into the furnace
From
the metallurgical characteristics, the same acidic charge of lump ore and
pellets in Hainan, Hainan ore pellets can be used as a substitute, replacing
post-production techniques similar results, although the difference iron grade
6-7%, but the price per ton was differ more than 500 yuan, Hainan
economic alternative to lump ore pellets obvious.
The third ingredient ways: iron powder
sintering or pelletizing
For
imported ore is low silicon with silicon plus about 6%, particle size -200 mesh
fraction ≥ 80% of Hainan sintering or pelletizing iron concentrate, but also a
balance of sinter pellet feed alkalinity and reduce overall costs The ideal choice of ingredients, with good
economic returns.
The fourth
way Ingredients: mineral powder sintering
Hainan
powder ore sintering high strength, low silicon for imported ore deposits with a
17% increase in Hainan silicon powder sintering ore, sinter can adjust the
alkalinity, but also improve the quality of sinter, is a very good complementary ingredients to choose from. In addition, the
granularity of Hainan fines 3 ~ 8mm 60%, particle nucleation more conducive to
the formation of quasi-particles, and improving the permeability
properties.
Practice
proved that many steel companies, plus the amount of Hainan with mine, mine
either import substitution or replacement with added silica pellets or sintered,
to improve production techniques and overall economic indicators are very
favorable, especially for a large number of Use a low silicon content of imported ore
business even more so.
Currently, users
Hainan ore mainly Wuhan Iron and Steel, Nanjing Steel, Shaoguan Steel, Shougang,
day iron, iron, Guofeng, Ma Ning steel, Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes, De Long and
other steel mills. The
largest user of Wuhan, with annual capacity of 70 to 80 tons.
