底吹炼铜熔池液面波动数值模拟

Numerical simulation on surface fluctuation in oxygen bottom-blowing smelting furnace

  • 摘要: 底吹炼铜是新一代铜强化熔炼工艺。高压气流喷入熔池后产生的液面波动会不断冲刷炉膛壁面,导致壁面耐火材料的磨损。文中利用数值模拟方法对底吹熔池内气液两相流动过程进行研究,分析液面波动导致壁面的压力的变化。通过分析气泡在熔池内的分布及运动过程,得到了熔体对壁面冲刷侵蚀的主要原因。分析壁面压力随时间波动曲线,定义了冲击程度的概念,表征了熔池壁面因波动频率和压力变化而对壁面的磨损程度。模拟计算了单孔氧枪和多孔氧枪的流动过程,得出多孔氧枪气含率更高,冲击程度更小。计算分析了不同参数条件下的流场波动特性,结果表明在实验条件下氧枪角度为0°、气流速为0.7 m/s时,压力冲击程度最小,液面波动对壁面耐火材料的侵蚀最小。

     

    Abstract: Oxygen bottom-blowing smelting is a new copper-enhanced smelting technology. The liquid level fluctuation generated by high-pressure air flow is injected into the molten pool will continuously scour the furnace wall, resulting in the wear of wall refractory. In this paper, the gas-liquid two-phase flow in an oxygen bottom blowing furnace was numerically simulated and the pressure variation caused by surface fluctuation was analyzed. By analyzing the distribution and movement process of bubbles in the molten pool, the main reason for corrosion by melt flush was founded. With the analysis of the fluctuation curve of wall pressure with time, the concept of impact degree is defined, and the wear degree of the wall of molten pool due to fluctuation frequency and pressure change is characterized. Simulations of the single-hole oxygen and porous oxygen lances were carried out. It is concluded that the gas holdup of porous oxygen lance is higher and the impact degree is smaller. The flow field fluctuation characteristics under different parameters are calculated and analyzed. The results showed that under the experimental conditions, when the oxygen lance angle is 0°and the air flow velocity is 0.7 m/s, the degree of pressure impact is the smallest, and the erosion of liquid level fluctuation on wall refractory is minimal.
