Analysis of the vapor-oxygen oxidizer in the synthesis gas production from solid fuel

A universal method of processing low-grade coals, as well as energy waste, is their gasification. A mathematical model of the conversion of coke, placed in a cylindrical capsule, through which a steam-oxygen blow is carried out, is considered. The determining parameter is the proportion of oxygen in the oxidizer. The values of the oxygen concentration in a steam-oxygen oxidizer are found to produce a synthesis gas with a predetermined percentage of combustible components.

Temperature Prediction at the Blow End of the Converter via Control Model

In the present work, a technique and model for temperature prediction at the blow end are briefly discussed, along with their limitations and perspectives for application. As a result of this analysis, a mathematical model based in heat and mass balances has been developed with a view to evaluating the possibility of improving this prediction capability. The study here presented focuses the development of a semi-dynamic control model in the LD-KGC converter (Linz-Donawitz-Kawasaki Gas Control Converter). The control model enables one to predict the temperature of the blow end by solving both the energy and mass equations. The inputs to the control model are the load data of the LD-KGC converter at the blow beginning and the collected data by the lance to 89% of oxygen blow. The results obtained in the present work were compared to the data measured in steelmaking. The semi-dynamic control model results agree well with data for LD-KGC converters.

Development and Application of Control Model for Semi-Steel Steelmaking

According to the actual characteristics of semi-steel steelmaking of PZH steel, a static model for prediction of the oxygen blow amount and consumption of auxiliary material is established, and an end-point prediction model based on carbon content and temperature of sublance is given. This paper introduced the calculating principle and basic structure about above two models detailed. The results show that, the static model has certain accuracy and reliability of these models are illustrated by actual application.The static model might provide immediately the predicting optimum auxiliary material amount and the oxygen blow amount for operator, which direct the operation in time. The end-point prediction model might give real time prediction for the carbon content and temperature on BOF Endpoint, which has high hitting ratio.
