Abstract:

In view of the problems of high energy consumption and high cost of limestone calcination process in lime kiln,the feasibility of using high temperature flue gas waste heat in converter vaporization cooling flue to decompose limestone powder was discussed.The decomposition characteristic of limestone powder in high temperature flue gas environment of converter and the influence of temperature,time,atmosphere and dust on its characteristic were studied by thermogravimetric analysis experiment and tube furnace experiment.The results showed that CO2 in flue gas could inhibit the decomposition of CaCO3 and increase the initial decomposition temperature.However,with the increase of temperature,the reaction rate was increased,the decomposition rate was increased,and the reaction time was decreased.The main components FeO and Fe2O3 in smoke dust could promote the decomposition of CaCO3.CaCO3 grains were decomposed into CaO grains,CO2 gas was released,and the pores on the surface of the grains was increased obviously,so the activity was increased.The experimental results preliminarily verified the feasibility of using high temperature flue gas waste heat from the converter to decompose limestone powder.

Key words: high temperature flue gas of converter, limestone powder, smoke dust, decomposition characteristics, calcium oxide
