1、 In converter steelmaking, the oxygen consumption per ton of steel is 48-58m3 / T, and the oxygen content is required to be greater than 99% of high purity oxygen; at the same time, the pressure is also required, and the working pressure is required to be greater than 1.3MPa.

 

2、 Blast furnace oxygen enriched blast: blast furnace oxygen enriched blast is to add industrial oxygen into blast furnace blast, so that the oxygen content in blast exceeds the atmospheric content. When the amount of coal injection per ton of iron reaches 200KG, the oxygen content of blast is required to be 25% ~ 29%. Increasing the oxygen content in blast furnace blast can increase the injection amount of pulverized coal and the output of pig iron. The oxygen content in blast can be increased by 1%, the output of pig iron can be increased by 3%, and the injection amount of coal per ton of iron can be increased by 13KG. At present, the oxygen content is generally 23% - 25%, and the highest is 27%. The blast volume of blast furnace is very large, and 12000m3 air is needed for each ton of iron. Although the oxygen enrichment degree is not high, the oxygen consumption is also quite large. The oxygen content per ton of iron needs to be increased by 1-16%. Although there is no special requirement for oxygen purity in ironmaking, if a separate oxygen generation system is specially configured for ironmaking, it can not mix with the oxygen for steelmaking, so it is still supplied by the high purity oxygen system. Oxygen is generally inhaled from the blower inlet, so there is no requirement for oxygen pressure.

 

3、 Smelting reduction ironmaking: oxygen is blown into the smelting gasifier to make coal burn and decompose. It is used to reduce iron ore with coal. The purity of oxygen is required to be more than 95%, and the oxygen consumption per ton of iron is 500-550m3 / T

What is the Air separation unit instrument cluster and what is the relationship between transmitters, display tables, regulators, and membrane control valves?Air separation unit.1 g potassium dichromate or 2 g sodium nitrite can be added to each liter of water (not suitable for nonferrous metal degreasing); due to the toxicity or explosion of degreasing agent, attention must be paid to prevent poisoning and formation of explosive mixture. In alkaline cleaning, the pipeline with more oil stains is heated to 60-90 ℃ with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, then neutralized with 15% nitric acid and washed with clean water.Air separation unit.From the vaporization temperature (saturation temperature) of liquid oxygen, if the liquid oxygen surface is too high, the greater the static pressure difference between the upper and lower liquid oxygen surface, the higher the average pressure of liquid oxygen and the corresponding saturation temperature. In order to maintain the heat transfer temperature

The air in nature is not absolutely dry, and a certain amount of gaseous water vapor is always mixed inside, which is a conventional part of air. Under normal pressure and normal temperature, water vapor is evenly dispersed in the air and will not condense into liquid water, so we cannot directly observe water. In the air separation operation, the air is first compressed by the air compressor. After the air is compressed, the volume is greatly reduced, and the density of water vapor in unit space increases sharply. At the same time, the saturated water content of air will change with the increase of pressure. Under high pressure, the upper limit of water vapor contained in air tends to be fixed. When the water vapor content exceeds the saturation value corresponding to the pressure, the air will reach the supersaturated state, which has the basis of water precipitation. The air compression process will generate a lot of heat, and the high temperature environment can temporarily improve
