Abstract

Through thermodynamic calculation and high-temperature simulation experiments, the coupling behavior between gasification of high- and low-reactivity cokes and reduction of sintering ore in CO-N2-H2 mixed gas with 25% H2 volume fraction was studied, and the evolution of the coke carbon structure and the pore structure was analyzed. The results show that the reaction rate of the two cokes increases with the increase in temperature after the coupling reaction, and the strength after drumming decreases with the increase in temperature. The strength of low-reactivity coke after the reaction is higher than that of high-reactivity coke, and the reduction degree of sintering ore after the coupling reaction with low-reactivity coke is higher than that with high-reactivity coke. At high temperatures and high hydrogen-rich atmospheres with φ(H2) of 25%, the strength of high-reactivity coke after drum rotation is greater than 60.4%. The graphitization degree and carbon structure order of low-reactivity coke are higher than those of high-reactivity coke.
