Experimental Study on Properties of Coal and Coke Dry Quenching Dust Blend
In the present research work, adding a certain amount of coke dry quenching(CDQ) dust to pulverized coal used in blast furnace is proposed for efficient utilization of resources and reducing smelting cost. The properties of coal blends and coal/dust blends were investigated by using long tube tester and the device of thermogravimetry (TG). Important results were obtained by experimental researches about explosibility and combustion performance. According to optimum blending ratio of coal B in coal blend (around 50%), burnout of coal/dust blends decreases after adding CDQ dust in the range 5% to 10% to blends. However, all of them are more than 80%, which can meet production requirements. In the case of adding about 8% of CDQ dust to coal blend, combustion efficiency is better and safety injection can be realized.
