In this paper, the production technologies of self-fluxed pellets with hydrated lime were studied successfully on the indurating machine. Hydrated lime has a good binder property, decrease the amount of bentonite and obtain low silica pellet. The basicity of pellet is 1.15 and SiO2 content is 2.0%. The low silica self-fluxed pellets were used in the three large blast furnaces with 5500m3 in Shougang Jingtang, the proportion of pellets in burden was increased from 28% to 55%, slag rate of blast furance was decreased from 280kg/tHM to 215kg/tHM, the fuel rate was decreased from 500kg/tHM to 480kg/tHM.</p> |
