Basic principle of electrode paste submerged arc furnace

 　　(I) principle and purpose

　　Submerged arc furnace is also called electric arc furnace or resistance electric furnace. It is mainly used for reducing smelting ore, carbonaceous reductant, solvent and other raw materials. It mainly produces ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochromium, ferrotungsten, silicon manganese alloy and other ferroalloys. It is an important industrial raw material in the metallurgical industry and chemical raw materials such as calcium carbide. Its working characteristics are that carbon or magnesium refractory materials are used as furnace lining and self-cultivation electrodes (electrode paste or sealed paste) are used. The electrode is inserted into the charge for submerged arc operation. It is an industrial electric furnace that uses the energy and current of the arc to pass through the charge and the energy generated by the resistance of the charge to smelt the metal. It is continuously fed and intermittently discharged with iron slag.

　　Main categories and uses of submerged arc furnace

　　Industrial waste heat refers to a large amount of waste heat generated in the industrial production lines of steel, petrochemical, building materials and non-ferrous metals. The waste heat power generation technology refers to the technology that uses the high-grade heat of the enterprise to recover and convert it into electricity for the enterprise's own use. China has always taken the use of waste heat power generation as one of the important measures to save energy and reduce consumption and realize circular development, and has given great support. At present, the application field of waste heat power generation technology in China is constantly expanding, but in the fields of ferroalloy and calcium carbide, the comprehensive recovery and power generation technology of flue gas waste heat and other waste heat is still lacking.

Study on impurities in high purity flake graphite

Image
 　　For the analysis of trace impurities in high-purity flake graphite, the sample is usually pre ashed or wet digested to remove carbon, the ash is dissolved with acid, and then the impurity content in the solution is determined. The ashing method does not need to use ultra pure acid to dissolve the ash, thus avoiding the risk of introducing the elements to be measured, so it is used more. It is also very difficult to detect the ash content of high-purity flake graphite, because the enriched ash needs to be burned at high temperature, and it is difficult to separate the ash from the sample boat at high temperature, which makes it impossible to accurately determine the composition and content of impurities. 　　The existing methods all take advantage of the characteristic that the platinum crucible does not react with acid, use the platinum crucible to burn the high-purity flake graphite to enrich ash, and then directly heat the sample in the crucible with acid to dissolve th

General technical index requirements for electrode paste

 Electrode occupies an important position in submerged arc furnace. The working conditions of the electrode are bad, the current passing through is high, the temperature difference between the two ends is large, and the production is affected by the impact of mechanical, electrical and charge collapse... Mechanical strength, higher electrical resistivity, better thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance and smaller thermal expansion coefficient. Generally speaking, the quality of electrode paste is controlled by the following five indicators: 1. Ash: Ash is the residue of electrode paste when it is burnt to constant weight at 850℃-870℃. It belongs to inorganic minerals. It has high ash resistivity, poor strength, high power consumption, and large electrode consumption. In the event of a hard breaking accident, the ash content is a very important indicator, and the lower the better. 2. Volatile matter: Volatile matter refers to the mass loss of electrode paste under the condition o

Performance characteristics of anthracite electrode paste

 Anthracite is the main raw material of electrode paste. The performance of anthracite is related to the performance of electrode paste. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and discuss the performance of anthracite to ensure the quality of electrode paste. Anthracite coal in China is mainly distributed in Shanxi, Ningxia and Guizhou. Shanxi is the origin of anthracite, which is mainly produced in Yangquan and Jincheng. Anthracite is an indispensable raw material for carbon industry. It is mainly used in semi graphite cathode carbon block, electric furnace carbon block, blast furnace carbon block, carbon electrode and various pastes. Studying and discussing various properties of anthracite is very beneficial to improve the quality of carbon products.
