Reduction of metal oxides using a gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen
Field of Technology 5
The present invention relates to a process for the reduction of metal oxides, preferably iron oxides, using a gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen. It also relates to a device for carrying out such a method. 10
State of the art
Coke oven gas is produced in the production of coke in integrated steelworks or stand-alone production plants and has previously been used, for example, to support the calorific value of the blast furnace blast furnace gases prior to their use in blast furnaces, as fuel gas in slab impact or roller hearth furnaces, and for power generation in power plants. It contains as main constituents both hydrocarbons - for example one or more hydrocarbons CnH2n + 2. where n = 1 or 2 or 3 or 4; but mainly 20 methane, ie n = 1 - as well as hydrogen. Coke oven gas is also used in some integrated smelters to produce technically pure hydrogen, for example for use in annealing furnaces. Typical resulting compositions of coke oven gas in integrated smelters are as follows 2

Although the coke oven gas for a reduction of metal oxides in general and iron oxides in particular well usable components such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide, but can be used due to the hydrocarbon content only limited for the reduction of metal oxides, especially iron oxides, a reduction aggregate, as a result of Introduction of coke oven gas into the reduction unit of highly endothermic hydrocarbon reactions. For example, hydrocarbon CH4 CH4 2 H2 + C Cracking Δ H2ee = +74.86 [kJ / mol] 3 Fe + CH4 * Fe3C + 2 H2 carburization ΔH ^ a = + 99.7 [kJ / mol] 25 the reduction temperature too strong would decrease, which in turn would severely limit the productivity of the reduction unit.
Summary of the invention 30
Technical task
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process which utilizes a hydrocarbon as well as hydrogen. " It is also possible to use a gas stream containing a reduction of metal oxides. It is also an object to provide an apparatus for carrying out such a method. 5 Technical solution
This object is achieved by a
Method of reducing metal oxides using both
Hydrocarbon as well as hydrogen-containing gas stream, which is characterized in that the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen is separated into a hydrogen-rich fraction and into a hydrocarbon-rich fraction, and subsequently at least a subset of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction of at least one operation from the group - oxidation with technically pure oxygen, - is subjected to reforming by means of CO 2 and H 2 O 20, and then at least introduced as a constituent of a reducing gas into a reduction unit containing the metal oxides, wherein the hydrocarbon content by the at least one operation from said group is adjusted so that the hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas when entering the

Advantageous Effects of the Invention
The gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen may contain one or two or more types of hydrocarbon. For example, it contains lower saturated hydrocarbons CnH ^, where n = 1, ie methane, or n = 2, ie ethane, or n = 3, that is propane, or n = 4, ie butane or isobutane. It may also contain lower, mono- or polyunsaturated hydrocarbons, where, for example, CnH2n > for example, ethene. It may also contain aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene or toluene. In the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen may also be one or more types of hydrocarbon having the general formula CnHm be included, where m may be m = n, 15 m = 2n, m = 2n + 2.
According to the invention, the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen is separated into a hydrogen-rich fraction and into a hydrocarbon-rich fraction. It contains the
Hydrocarbon rich fraction not only hydrocarbons but also other components such as argon, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor. The term hydrocarbon rich refers to the fact that this fraction has a higher content of hydrocarbon as compared to the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen.
The hydrogen-rich fraction not only contains hydrogen.
The term hydrogen-rich refers to the fact that this fraction has a higher content of hydrogen compared to the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen.
Subsequent to the separation, at least a subset of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction obtained during the separation is at least one operation from the group
2011P11617AT 5 - Oxidation with technically pure oxygen, - Reforming with C02 and H20. It can also be subjected to a combination of these two operations. In a combination, it is preferable to first partially oxidise with technically pure oxygen for the purpose of increasing the temperature and then to reform with CO 2 and H 2 O, for example in an autothermal reformer. In an autothermal reformer no firing of the reformer is needed, which is why no supply of fuel gas to the autothermal reformer is necessary. This saves 10 construction costs and reduces the exhaust gases of the reformer.
In this case, not the entire amount of hydrocarbons is oxidized in the oxidation, but only a portion of the molar amount of hydrocarbons - which is referred to in this application as partial oxidation. 15 In this case, not the entire amount of substance of the
Hydrocarbons reformed, but a predominant part of the molar amount of hydrocarbons.
By the above operations alone or in combination, the content of the hydrocarbons decreases. 20
After at least a subset of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction obtained in the separation has been subjected to at least one operation from the said group, it is introduced at least as a constituent of a reducing gas into a reduction aggregate 25 containing the metal oxides - this is, of course, meant to mean that in the case of Operations received product is initiated.
At least as a constituent of a reducing gas means that the reducing gas may also contain other constituents which may be mixed in before a mixture obtained during the mixing is introduced as a reducing gas into the reduction aggregate.
According to the invention, the hydrocarbon content of the subset is adjusted by the at least one operation from the said group in such a way that the hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas upon entry into the ····· 6
2011P11617AT
Reduction unit below 12% by volume, preferably below 10% by volume, more preferably below 8% by volume, but above 1% by volume, preferably above 2% by volume, particularly preferably above 3% by volume. The mentioned limits are included.
The higher the hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas when entering the reduction unit, the higher the reduction temperature - in the case of reduction shafts as a reduction unit also called the Bustlegastemperatur - must be set, or the lower the productivity of the system. In the case of a hydrocarbon content set according to the invention, the reduction temperature does not decrease so much as a result of lower endothermic reactions of the hydrocarbons that the
Productivity of the reduction unit decreases below an economically acceptable level.
The lower limit for the hydrocarbon content is determined, for example, in the reduction of iron oxides by the required Kohlenstoffgehait -15 carbon bonded as Fe3C or elemental carbon - in the reduced product for the steel plant - there, for example, an electric arc furnace. As the carbon content in the reduced product increases, the energy required for the subsequent treatment in the electric arc furnace decreases. A hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas entering the reduction unit in the region 20 of the lower limit is used, for example, for producing a minimum content of carbon in a sponge iron, in particular in the form of Fe 3 C, or such a hydrocarbon content is possibly required for temperature control in the reduction unit , In addition, for example, in the production of sponge iron, 25 hot briquetting plants - HBI plants, HBI stands for hot briquetted iron - as are common in DR plants - DR stands for direct reduction - also certain minimum briquetting temperatures - preferably> 650eC to avoid increased Maintenance costs and obtaining product densities > 5 g / cm3 which can not be achieved by excessive cooling of the DRI in the reduction unit due to 30 endothermic reactions.
In a preferred embodiment, the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen is coke oven gas. 2011P11617AT 7
Preferably, therefore, because coke oven gas accumulates in an integrated steelworks usually anyway or used in a stand-alone coking plant only for power generation or flared without use.
By the inventive method, it can be used for efficient iron production 5; the resulting material use has a higher efficiency than, for example, a use for power generation.
Under an integrated steelworks is a steelmaking route which among other things consists of coking plant, sinter plant and blast furnace to understand.
The gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen may also be gas produced in a coal gasifier.
According to a preferred embodiment, the separation of the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen into a hydrogen-rich fraction 15 and into a hydrocarbon-rich fraction by at least one operation from the group - pressure swing adsorption, - membrane separation. 20 The pressure swing adsorption takes place, for example, in a PSA or VPSA system, where PSA stands for Pressure Swing Adsorption, and VPSA for Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption. Preferably, prior to pressure swing adsorption, a pre-purification of the gas stream, for example in a pre-cleaning device for the separation of tar and dust by means of 25 tar filters made of fibers or adsorbents. Due to the different adsorption, both a hydrocarbon and hydrogen-containing gas stream such as coke oven gas with a suitable design of the size of Druckwechseladsorptions systems and by operating with appropriately designed cycle times by a PSA plant or a VPSA plant in a hydrogen-rich fraction and in a Separated hydrocarbon-rich fraction. The hydrogen falls on the product side without practically significant pressure loss. The hydrocarbon - rich fraction falls under very low pressure or under * «2011P11617AT 8
Vacuum and is then compressed to the pressure required in the following steps.
In membrane separation, the separation is due to the different 5 permeability of a membrane. Hydrogen falls concentrated on the low pressure side of the membrane.
According to a preferred embodiment, at least a portion of the at least one subset of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 10 which has been subjected to at least one operation from the group oxidation with technically pure oxygen, reforming by means of CO 2 and H 2 O, is mixed with an additional reducing gas 15, before the resulting mixture of these two components is introduced as a reducing gas into the metal oxide-containing reduction aggregate. In this case, the reducing gas introduced into the reduction unit containing the metal oxides is generated by the mixing of two components, the one component being obtained by oxidation and / or reforming of at least one subset of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction. 25
In such a procedure, other gases with reduction potential can be used materially for the reduction of metal oxides by being admixed as an additional reducing gas. In an apparatus for carrying out such a method according to the invention are corresponding feed lines for the introduction of additional reducing gases to the proportion or optionally the entire amount of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction, the at least one operation from the group

- oxidation with technically pure oxygen, - reforming by means of C02 and H2O, was present. In a preferred embodiment, the mixing ratio of the two components is set as a function of a temperature specification for the mixture. In this way, it is ensured that the reducing gas is in the process area for the reduction of metal oxides and economically favorable temperature range. By adjusting the temperature 10, the reaction rate in the reduction reactor -
Kinetics - optimally adjusted. Furthermore, the efficiency of the reduction gas preheating can be optimized.
Corresponding devices for controlling the mixing ratio and temperature measuring devices for measuring the temperature of the mixture and / or for measuring the temperatures of the components are present in a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
According to a preferred embodiment, the two components 20 are mixed after the additive reducing gas has been heated in a gas furnace. This allows an improved temperature adjustment for the reducing gas. The temperature for the reducing gas should preferably be in the range 780-1050 ° C, depending on the H2 / CO ratio in the reducing gas. According to a preferred embodiment, top gas is withdrawn from the reduction unit, and the additional reduction gas is recovered at least partially by mixing dedusted top gas largely freed from CO 2 and at least one further gas. In this way, the reductants (CO and H2) still contained in the top gas are utilized again for the reduction of the 30 metal oxides.
Advantageously, the at least one further gas comprises the hydrogen-rich hydrofluorocarbon obtained in the separation of the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen, preferably coke oven gas, with Μ 10

Fraction. In this way, the reduction potential contained in this fraction for the reduction of metal oxides is exploited; exploited mainly because the reduction rate - kinetics - is generally faster over hydrogen: 5 3 Fe 2 O 3 + H 2 Fe 3+ + H 2 O 2 = 292 = -2.72 [kJ / mol]
Fe304 + H2 3 Fe0 + H20 ΔΗ29Β = +59.83 [kJ / mol]
FeO + 3H2 Fe + 2H2 + H20 ΔΗ298 = +29.60 [kJ / mol] 10 Advantageously, the gas furnace is operated with a fuel gas consisting at least partly of at least one gas from the group - Tailgas resulting from the removal of CO 2 from the top gas Gas containing both hydrocarbons and hydrogen, preferably coke oven gas, hydrogen-rich fraction obtained by separating from both the hydrocarbon and hydrogen-containing gas stream, preferably coke oven gas, by separation of both hydrocarbon and hydrogen-containing gas Gas stream, preferably coke oven gas obtained

In this way, these gases are used in the process for the reduction of metal oxides 25, which increases its cost-effectiveness. When using hydrogen-rich gases for underfiring the gas furnace, the CO 2 emission can be kept correspondingly low.
Individual, several or all of the corresponding fuel gas supply lines to the gas oven are provided in an apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention: a tail gas feed line for feeding tail gas resulting from the removal of CO2 from the top gas, which proceeds from the CO 2 removal process.

Advantageously, before the reforming by means of CO 2 and H 2 O, at least one CO 2 and / or H 2 0 -containing gas stream is added to the hydrocarbon-rich fraction. This can be, for example, steam, Taiigas from a CO 2 removal process - for example, from the removal of CO 2 5 from the top gas top gas from the reduction shaft, or crucible gas. It can also be added to water.
In this way, these gases are used in the process of reducing the metal oxides, which increases its cost-effectiveness and reduces the environmental emissions 10, since CO 2 is converted back into CO.

Description of the embodiments
FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for carrying out a method according to the invention. This comprises as a reduction unit for the reduction of 20 Metalioxiden a reduction shaft 1 containing iron ore, ie iron oxides. It also comprises an apparatus for separating a gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen, in this case a PSA or a VPSA plant 2 by means of pressure swing adsorption, into a hydrogen-rich fraction and into a hydrocarbon-rich fraction. In the present example, the gas stream containing both hydrocarbon and hydrogen is coke oven gas. From the PSA or VPSA plant 2, a feed line for the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 3, which empties into an aggregate for carrying out an oxidation with technically pure oxygen 4, originates. In this unit for carrying out an oxidation with technically pure oxygen 4, the hydrocarbon-rich fraction is partially oxidized; that is, it is not the entire amount of substance oxidized, but only a portion of the molar amount of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction. By way of an introduction line 5 for introducing the gas stream obtained in the unit for the performance of oxidation with technically pure oxygen 4, + · · «** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** This is introduced as a component of a reducing gas into the reduction shaft 1. In the partial oxidation, the hydrocarbon content is adjusted so that the hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas entering the reduction shaft is less than 12% by volume. 5
The gas stream obtained in the aggregate for carrying out oxidation with technically pure oxygen 4 is mixed with an additional reducing gas, the resulting mixture is introduced as a reducing gas into the reduction shaft 1. The two components of the reducing gas 10 are mixed after the additive reducing gas is heated in a gas furnace 6. The additional reducing gas is mixed via an additional reducing gas line 7 for supplying additional reducing gas to the reduction unit 1, which reducing gas line 7 opens into the discharge line 5. Thus, both the gas stream obtained in the unit for carrying out oxidation with technically pure oxygen 4 and the additional reducing gas are introduced into the reduction shaft 1 via the introduction line 5, namely as a mixture which is called reducing gas. The temperature specification of the additional reduction gas which is heated in the gas furnace 6 is set as a function of a temperature specification for the mixture. The gas furnace 6 is disposed in the auxiliary reducing gas pipe 7.
From the reduction shaft 1 Topgas is derived via a Topgasableitung 8. The additional reducing gas is in the example shown by 25 mixture of dedusted - a gas scrubber 9 is present in the top gas discharge 8 - and largely exempt from C02 - a C02 Entfemungsanlage 10 is present in the top gas 8 - top gas and another gas won. The additional gas is the hydrogen-rich fraction obtained in the separation of the coke oven gas. 30
The gas furnace 6 is operated with a fuel gas. The fuel gas is burned while supplying air through an opening into the gas burner air supply line 11. The fuel gas consists of the gases from the group - tail gas accumulating in the removal of CO 2 from the top gas,
2011P11617AT 19
• v ·· * * - top gas, - coke oven gas, - hydrogen-rich fraction obtained by separation of coke oven gas.
For supplying these gases in the gas burner 6 are 5 - a Tailgaszuleitung 12 for supplying in the removal of CO 2 from the
Topgas accumulating tail gas present, which emanates from the C02-Removungsaniage 10 and opens into the gas burner, - a Topgaszuleitung 13 for supplying Topgas present, which emanates from the top gas from the reduction unit top 10 derived gas 8 and flows into the gas burner, - a Koksofengaszuieitung 14 for the supply of coke oven gas, which emanates from a feed line for coke oven gas 15 and flows into the top gas feed line 13,
a hydrogen fraction feed line 16 branches off from a hydrogen fraction discharge 17 emanating from the PSA 15 or VPSA plant 2 and flows into the coke oven gas feed line 14.
So that additional reduction gas can be obtained by mixing dedusted and largely freed from C02 top gas and the hydrogen-rich fraction obtained in the separation of the coke oven gas, both the hydrogen fraction outlet 17 and the top gas 8 lead into the additional reduction gas line. 7
The feed line for coke oven gas 15 emanates from a source of coke oven gas, not shown, and flows into the PSA or VPSA system 2. 25 In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, two discharge lines opening into the reduction shaft 1 are present. The initiating line 5, called the first initiating line, has already been discussed. Another feed line, called the second feed line 18, branches off from the feed line for the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 3 and ends in the reduction well. Through this second introduction line 18, a subset of the hydrocarbon-rich fraction can be introduced directly into the reduction shaft. This subset can thus be used to carburize the metallic iron produced in the reduction shaft 1, in this case sponge iron.

In the tar filter device 19 arranged in the feed line for coke oven gas 19, tar is removed from the coke oven gas. In the burner 20, the additional reduction gas can be partially oxidized with the supply of technically pure oxygen, if this is desired to increase the temperature.
For the sake of clarity, the illustration of device parts which are not essential to the present invention has been omitted, for example, the illustration of various compressors, bypass lines, gasometers, gas coolers, flare chimneys.
In FIG. 2, with an apparatus and procedure otherwise analogous, the hydrocarbon-rich fraction is subjected to reforming by means of CO 2 and H 2 O instead of a partial oxidation before it is introduced into a reduction shaft as part of a reducing gas. The same system parts and method steps to Figure 1 are not described here largely again, the reference numerals for the same system parts are not registered for better clarity. The reforming takes place in an aggregate for carrying out a reforming by means of CO 2 and H 2 O, here a reformer 21, into which the feed line for the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 3 discharges. Exhaust gas from the reformer 21 is used via a heat exchanger 22 to heat the hydrocarbon-rich fraction before entering the reformer 30 21. A plurality of feed lines 23a, 23b, which open into the feed line for the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 3, are admixed with a plurality of CO 2 -containing gas streams before entry into the reformer 21 into the hydrocarbon-rich fraction. About feed line 23a tail gas from the COr

Via a water feed line 24, which opens into the feed line for the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 3, the hydrocarbon-rich fraction is added to the reformer 21 steam and / or water before entering 5.
The reformer 21 can be fired with top gas, coke oven gas or with the hydrocarbon-rich fraction; appropriate opening into the reformer 21 lines are not shown for clarity. 10 via a branch line 29, which branches off from the second inlet line 18 and opens into the first inlet line 5, the hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas on entering the reduction shaft 1 can be influenced by supply of hydrocarbon-rich fraction. In FIG. 3, the reduction unit is a fluidized bed cascade 25 from which top gas is withdrawn from its last fluidized bed reactor 26, viewed in the direction of flow of the reducing gas. the top gas line is like the top gas line in Figure 1 provided with the reference numeral 8. The introduction line 5, which is shown opening into the reduction shaft 1 in FIG. 1, is illustrated in FIG. 3 in an analogous manner in the first fluidized bed reactor 27 seen in the flow direction of the reduction gas. As a device for separating coke oven gas is - instead of as in Figure 1 a device for pressure swing adsorption - a device for membrane separation 28 before. Via a branch from the feed line for the hydrocarbon-rich fraction 3, hydrocarbon-rich fraction can be fed into the first feed line 5, which offers a possibility for influencing the hydrocarbon content in the reducing gas.
FIG. 4 differs from FIG. 2 by the same changes, by which FIG. 3 differs from FIG. In addition, in Figure 1, in contrast to Figure 2, no heat exchanger 22 is present.
