Behaviors of Chlorine in Smelting Process of Blast Furnace

Abstract

The existence forms of chlorine entered into blast furnace are chloride created by Cl- and metal cation or organic speciation absorbed in specular coal or structure macromolecule of coal. The chlorine entered into blast furnace merges with blast furnace gas in the form of HCl after conducted a series of chemical reactions. With the increasing of HCl content in blast furnace gas, the coke reactivity decreases and the coke post reaction strength increases, and the reduction process of iron ore is restrained and the low temperature reduction degradation property increases. However, the corrosion of gas pipeline and TRT blade is aggravated by the HCl in blast furnace gas, and then blast furnace gas conveying process and normal operation of TRT unit are affected.
