Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013094229A1] A blast furnace operation method, whereby the combustion temperature can be increased even if the volatile amount of pulverized coal is no more than 25 mass% and a high pulverized coal ratio operation is being used whereby the pulverized coal ratio is at least 150 kg/t, and, as a result, CO2 emissions can be reduced, by: using a double-piped lance (4) for blowing in fuel from a tuyere (3); blowing in the pulverized coal from the inner pipe of the double-piped lance (4); blowing in oxygen from the outer pipe of the double-piped lance (4); and having the oxygen concentration being at least 35 vol% for the gas comprising the carrier gas for the pulverized coal and the gas blown in from the outer pipe. In addition, the oxygen concentration is less than 70 vol% when the pulverized coal ratio is at least 170 kg/t. Furthermore, increased concentration of pulverized coal flow is prevented and fuel efficiency can be maintained by arranging the double-piped lance (4) such that the pulverized coal flows blown in from the two pipes of the double-piped lance (4) do not overlap.
