Resumo
Pre-reduction shaft furnace in Corex process uses screws to discharge burdens into the melter gasifier. However, the uneven screw discharging method in circumferential direction leads to the burden velocity segregation behaviors, which results in the redistribution of burden particles, thus directly affecting the gas distribution inside prereduction shaft furnace. Based on DEM, a three dimensional model is established in present work to investigate the particle size segregation behaviors (PSSB) during screw discharging process, which has been little studied before. The DEM base model is adapted to determine the effects of pre-reduction shaft furnace bottom diameter, screw casing diameter as well as screw rotating rate on burden descending velocity and PSSB. The pre-reduction shaft furnace bottom diameter influences the burden velocities most in edge area while almost makes no difference on the central area. To increase the screw casing diameter or the screw rotating speed increase the burden velocities in all areas and the increment is biggest for the edge area in the case of screw casing diameter while it almost keeps the same amplitude for all areas in the case of screw rotating diameter. To increase the furnace bottom diameter and to enlarge the screw casing diameter, or to decrease the screw rotating speed help to obtain a relatively uniform RPS distribution during discharging.
