Definitions
- the present invention relates to a direct smelting vessel for producing molten metal (which term includes metal alloys) from a metalliferous feed material such as ores, partly reduced ores and metal-containing waste streams .
- the present invention relates particularly to a vessel that can be used for molten bath-based direct smelting processes.
- the present invention also relates to a direct smelting process that operates in the vessel.
- melting is understood herein to mean thermal processing wherein chemical reactions that reduce metalliferous feed material take place to produce liquid metal .
- direct smelting process is understood herein to mean a process that produces a molten metal directly from a metalliferous feed material, such as iron ore and partly reduced iron ore.
- the Romelt process includes injection of oxygen enriched air or oxygen into the slag via a lower row of tuyeres to provide slag agitation and injection of oxygen into the slag via an upper row of tuyeres to promote post-combustion.
- the metal layer is not an important reaction medium.
- molten bath-based direct smelting processes for producing molten iron from iron ore that is also slag-based is generally described as "deep slag" processes.
- These processes such as DIOS and AISI processes, are based on forming a deep layer of slag with 3 regions, namely: an upper region for post-combusting reaction gases with injected oxygen; a lower region for smelting metal oxides to metal; and an intermediate region which separates the upper and lower regions .
- the metal layer below the slag layer is not an important reaction medium.
- the HIsmelt process as described in the International application comprises:
- metalliferous feed material typically metal oxides
- a solid carbonaceous material typically coal, which acts as a reductant of the metal oxides and a source of energy
- the HIsmelt process also comprises post- combusting reaction gases, such as CO and H 2 , released from the bath in the space above the bath with injected oxygen- containing gas and transferring the heat generated by the post-combustion to the bath to contribute to the thermal energy required to smelt the metalliferous feed materials.
- post- combusting reaction gases such as CO and H 2
- the HIsmelt process also comprises forming a transition zone above the nominal quiescent surface of the bath in which there is a favourable mass of ascending and thereafter descending droplets or splashes or streams of molten metal and/or slag which provide an effective medium to transfer to the bath the thermal energy generated by post-combusting reaction gases above the bath.
- the vessels contain the direct smelting processes with minimal heat loss and be capable of withstanding the erosive/corrosive conditions that are a characteristic of the processes over long term operating campaigns .
- Process containment must also be combined with means to inject and to mix reactants to form and maintain different zones in the vessels and to separate products of the processes.
- Process chemistry of direct smelting processes generally requires a region of low oxygen potential to smelt metalliferous feed material and a region of high oxygen potential to combust hydrogen and carbon monoxide to obtain combustion energy.
- a region of low oxygen potential to smelt metalliferous feed material and a region of high oxygen potential to combust hydrogen and carbon monoxide to obtain combustion energy.
- there are wide variations in temperature and chemical composition throughout the vessels that contain direct smelting processes which place different demands on the design of vessels.
- Some planned and tested direct smelting vessels include an outer steel shell and an internal lining of a refractory material, typically in the form of bricks and/or castables . It is known to use bricks of different composition and physical properties in different sections of the vessels to maximise resistance to thermal and chemical attack and erosion.
- refractory bricks in the base of the vessels are usually exposed to molten material that is predominantly metal whereas the refractory bricks in the mid-section of the side walls of the vessels are usually exposed to molten material that is predominantly slag and to gaseous reactants such as CO, H 2 , C0 2 and H 2 0.
- the bricks exposed to molten metal and the bricks exposed to molten slag require different chemical properties to resist chemical attack by metal and slag.
- the slag region is agitated and the metal region is relatively undisturbed (compared with the HIsmelt process) .
- the bricks exposed to the slag region require physical properties to resist erosion due to contact with agitated slag .
- the metal region is also agitated.
- the bricks exposed to this region require physical properties to resist erosion due to washing action of metal against the bricks.
- post-combustion of reaction gases generates high temperatures of the order of 2000°C or higher and, as a consequence, the bricks exposed to the top space/transition zone/slag region in which post- combustion occurs require physical and chemical properties to withstand high temperatures.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an improved direct smelting vessel.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved direct smelting process that operates in the vessel .
- the present invention achieves these objects by constructing a direct smelting vessel with water cooled panels in the side walls and the roof of the vessel and injection lances for oxygen-containing gas and injection lances for solids material extending into the vessel which make it possible to operate a direct smelting process in the vessel which builds-up and thereafter maintains on the water cooled panels a layer of slag which acts as an effective thermal insulation such that there are reduced heat losses from the vessel.
- a vessel which produces metal from a metalliferous feed material by a direct smelting process which vessel contains a molten bath having a metal layer and a slag layer on the metal layer and has a gas continuous space above the slag layer, which vessel includes:
- the direct smelting process operates with heat losses of less than 150 kW/m 2 of exposed panel area of the water cooled panels under normal operating conditions .
- normal operating conditions is understood herein to mean periods when the process is stable and excludes periods where there are likely to be high peak flux loads, such as during start-up.
- the direct smelting process operates with heat losses of less than 100 kW/m 2 of exposed panel area of the water cooled panels under normal operating conditions .
- the direct smelting process operates with heat losses of less than 90 kW/m 2 of exposed panel area of the water cooled panels under normal operating conditions .

- the panel further includes an outer water cooling pipe that has a serpentine shape, a water inlet at one end, and a water outlet at the other end.
- the inner and outer water cooling pipes of a panel are interconnected and include a single inlet and a single outlet.
- the panel further includes a refractory material rammed or gunned in the spaces of the panel that are not occupied by the pipes. It is believed that in practice this refractory material is worn away progressively during the life of the vessel, with the start-up phase and process perturbations of the direct smelting process causing the most significant wear.
- the erosion of the rammed or gunned refractory material can cause at least partial exposure of the inner water cooling pipe.

- a surface finish such as a ripple or waffle surface
- the panel includes members, such as pins and cups, which project inwardly from the exposed face of the panel and promote formation and growth of frozen slag on the panel and assist the slag to key to the panel.
- members such as pins and cups, which project inwardly from the exposed face of the panel and promote formation and growth of frozen slag on the panel and assist the slag to key to the panel.

- the refractory lining is formed from the refractory bricks .
- the vessel contains a transition zone formed by ascending and thereafter descending splashes, droplets and streams of molten material in the gas continuous space above the slag layer with some of these splashes, droplets and streams being contiguous with the side walls of the vessel and depositing molten slag on the side walls.
- the water cooled panels contact the transition zone.
- Preferably heat extraction via the water cooled panels is sufficient to build-up and maintain a layer of slag on the water cooled panels that contact the transition zone .
- splashes, droplets and streams of molten material extend above the transition zone and contact the side walls of the vessel above the transition zone.
- More preferably heat extraction via the water cooled panels is sufficient to build-up and maintain a layer of slag on the panels that are above the transition zone.

- splashes, droplets and streams of molten material extend above the transition zone and contact the roof .
- the heat extraction via the water cooled panels is sufficient to build up and maintain a layer of slag on the panels.
- the slag may form as a "wet” layer or a “dry” layer on the water cooled panels.
- a “wet” layer includes a frozen layer that adheres to the inner surface of the panels, a semi-solid (mush) layer, and an outer liquid film.
- a “dry” layer is one in which substantially all of the slag is frozen.
- the base and sides of the hearth include a lining of refractory material in contact with the molten bath.
- the refractory lining is formed from refractory bricks .
- the solid material injection lances/tuyeres extend downwardly and inwardly into the vessel at an angle of 30-60°.
- the ends of the solid material injection lances/tuyeres are above the level of the molten metal .
- injection of solid material via the solid material lances/tuyeres causes upward movement of splashes, droplets and streams of molten material into the gas continuous space.
- the one or more than one lance/tuyere which inject the oxygen-containing gas is positioned to inject the oxygen-containing gas into the transition zone to post-combust reaction gases carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the transition zone.
- the tapping means includes a forehearth which enables continuous discharge of molten metal from the vessel .
- the heat loss via the water cooled panels is less than 100 kW/m 2 of panel area exposed to the inside of the vessel under normal operating conditions.
- the heat loss via the water cooled panels is less than 90 kw/m 2 of panel area exposed to the inside of the vessel under normal operating conditions .
- Figure 1 is a vertical section through a metallurgical vessel illustrating in schematic form a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a more detailed view of the left side of the vessel shown in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a front elevation illustrating the arrangement of water cooling pipes of a number of water cooled panels in the cylindrical barrel of the vessel shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- the vessel shown in the figures has a hearth that includes a base 3 and sides 55 formed from refractory bricks; side walls 5 which form a generally cylindrical barrel extending upwardly from the sides 55 of the hearth and which include an upper barrel section 51 and a lower barrel section 53; a roof 7; an outlet 9 for off-gases; a forehearth 57 for discharging molten metal continuously; and a tap-hole 61 for discharging molten slag periodically.
- the vessel contains a molten bath of iron and slag which includes a layer 15 of molten metal and a layer 16 of molten slag on the metal layer 15.
- the arrow marked by the numeral 17 indicates the position of quiescent surface of the metal layer 15 and the arrow marked by the numeral 19 indicates the position of the quiescent surface of the slag layer 16.
- the term "quiescent surface” is understood to mean the surface when there is no injection of gas and solids into the vessel.
- the vessel also includes 2 solids injection lances/tuyeres 11 extending downwardly and inwardly at an angle of 30°-60° to the vertical through the side walls 5 and into the slag layer 16.
- the position of the lances/tuyeres 11 is selected so that the lower ends are above the quiescent surface 17 of the metal layer 15.
- iron ore typically fines
- solid carbonaceous material typically coal
- fluxes
- the buoyancy uplift of molten metal, solid carbon and slag causes substantial agitation in the metal layer 15 and the slag layer 16, with the result that the slag layer 16 expands in volume and has a surface indicated by the arrow 30.
- the extent of agitation is such that there is reasonably uniform temperature in the metal and the slag regions - typically, 1450-1550°C with a temperature variation of not more than 30°C in each region.
- the slag layer 16 is a liquid continuous volume, with gas bubbles therein, and the transition zone 23 is a gas continuous volume with splashes, droplets, and streams of molten material (predominantly slag) .
- the vessel further includes a lance 13 for injecting an oxygen-containing gas (typically pre-heated oxygen enriched air) which is centrally located and extends vertically downwardly into the vessel.
- an oxygen-containing gas typically pre-heated oxygen enriched air
- the position of the lance 13 and the gas flow rate through the lance 13 are selected so that the oxygen-containing gas penetrates the central region of the transition zone 23 and maintains an essentially metal/slag free space 25 around the end of the lance 13.
- the injection of the oxygen-containing gas via the lance 13 post-combusts reaction gases CO and H 2 in the transition zone 23 and in the free space 25 around the end of the lance 13 and generates high temperatures of the order of 2000°C or higher in the gas space.
- the heat is transferred to the ascending and descending splashes, droplets, and streams of molten material in the region of gas injection and the heat is then partially transferred to the metal layer 15 when the metal/slag returns to the metal layer 15.
- the free space 25 is important to achieving high levels of post combustion because it enables entrain ent of gases in the top space above the transition zone 23 into the end region of the lance 13 and thereby increases exposure of available reaction gases to post combustion.
- the combined effect of the position of the lance 13, gas flow rate through the lance 13, and upward movement of splashes, droplets and streams of molten material is to shape the transition zone 23 around the lower region of the lance 13 - generally identified by the numerals 27. This shaped region provides a partial barrier to heat transfer by radiation to the side walls 5.
- the ascending and descending droplets, splashes and streams of molten material is an effective means of transferring heat from the transition zone 23 to the molten bath with the result that the temperature of the transition zone 23 in the region of the side walls 5 is of the order of 1450°C-1550°C.
- the vessel is constructed with reference to the levels of the metal layer 15, the slag layer 16, and the transition zone 23 in the vessel when the process is operating under normal operating conditions and with reference to splashes, droplets and streams of molten material (predominantly slag) that are projected into the top space 31 above the transition zone 23 when the process is operating, so that:
- each water cooled panel 8, 57, 59 (not shown) in the upper barrel section 51 of the side walls 5 has parallel upper and lower edges and parallel side edges and is curved so as to define a section of the cylindrical barrel .
- each panel 57,59 includes an inner water cooling pipe 63 and an outer water cooling pipe 65.
- the pipes 63,65 are formed into a serpentine configuration with parallel horizontal sections interconnected by curved sections.
- the pipes 63,65 further include water inlets/water outlets 69.
- the pipes 63,65 are displaced vertically so that the horizontal sections of the outer pipe 65 are not immediately behind the horizontal sections of the inner pipe 63 when viewed from an exposed face of the panel, ie the face that is exposed to the interior of the vessel.
- Each panel 63,65 further includes a rammed or gunned refractory material which fills the spaces between the adjacent horizontal sections of each pipe 63,65 and between the pipes 63,65 and forms an inner face of the panel.
- Each panel further includes a support plate 67 which forms an outer surface of the panel.
- the water inlets/water outlets 69 of the pipes are connected to a water supply circuit (not shown) which circulates water at high flow rate through the pipes.
- the water flow rate through the water cooled panels 57, 59, the solids/carrier gas flow rate via the lances/tuyeres 11, and the oxygen-containing gas flow rate via the lance 13 are controlled so that there is sufficient slag contacting the panels and sufficient heat extraction from the panels to build-up and maintain a layer of frozen slag on the panels.
- the slag layer forms an effective thermal barrier which thereafter minimises heat loss to below 150 kW/m 2 from the side walls 5 and the roof 7 of the vessel under normal operating conditions of the process .
- the pilot plant work referred to above was carried out as a series of extended campaigns by the applicant at its pilot plant at Kwinana, Western Australia.
- Table 1 below sets out relevant data during typical start-up and stable operating conditions of the pilot plant work.
- the iron ore was a normal fine direct shipping ore and contained 64.6% iron, 4.21% Si0 2 , and 2.78% Al 2 0 3 on a dry basis.
- An anthracite coal was used both as a reductant and a source of carbon and hydrogen to combust and supply energy to the process.
- the coal had a calorific value of 30.7 MJ/kg, an ash content of 10%, and a volatile level of 9.5%.
- the process was operated to maintain a slag basicity of 1.3 (CaO/Si0 ratio) using a combination of fluxes of lime and magnesia.
- the magnesia contributed MgO thereby reducing the corrosiveness of the slag to the refractory by maintaining appropriate levels of MgO in the slag.
- the pilot plant Under start-up conditions the pilot plant operated with: a hot air blast rate of 26,000 Nm 3 /h at 1200°C; a post combustion rate of 60% ( (C0 2 + H 2 0) / (CO + H 2 + C0 2 + H 2 0) ) ; and a feed rate of iron ore fines of 5.9 t/h, a feed rate of coal of 5.4 t/h and a feed rate of flux of 1.0 t/h, all injected as solids using N 2 as a carrier gas.
- the pilot plant operated at a production rate of 3.7 t/h of hot metal (4.5 wt%C) and a coal rate of 1450 kg coal/t hot metal produced.
