Abstract:The preparation and application of high-strength carbon-containing agglomerates with biomass as carbon source is one of the technical measures to reduce CO2 emissions in blast furnace ironmaking production. In this paper, high- strength biomass carbon-containing agglomerates are prepared by cold pressing and heat treatment to improve strength,and the feasibility of their applicationsin blast furnace process is evaluated by comparing themwith traditional pellets from such three aspects as low temperature reduction powdering,reducing properties and soft melting and dripping prpertiestheresultsshowthatthebiomasscarbon-containingagglomeraespreparedfrommagnetitepowderhavehigh compressive strength and falling strength,the volume expansion of the carbon-containing agglomerates of biomass prepared by hematite powder caused by the crystal shape change during the low-temperature reduction process destroys the binder consolidation strength, resulting in poor low-temperature reduction powdering properties,which does not meet the requrtoflafacsgorchgppnratkeataith temperature properties of carbon-containing agglomerations.When the n(C)/n(O)ratio of the control block is O. 55,the low-temperature reduction powdering properties,reduction and soft melt dripping properties of the biomass carbon- containing agglomerates are better than those of the traditional oxidized pellets,so the biomass carbon-containing agglomerates can be used as a new low-carbon charge to partially replace pellets in blast furnace ironmaking production to achieve low-carbon and efficient production of blast furnaces.
