Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of dried coke of designated origin and size isreacted with C

7、O2gas in a retort at a specified elevatedtemperature for a specified length of time. Two indices, cokereactivity index (CRI) and coke strength after reaction (CSR),are determined using the reacted coke residue. The weight lossafter reaction determines the CRI. The weight retained aftersieving the tu

8、mbled reacted coke in a designated number ofrevolutions over a designated turning rate determines the CSR.4. Significance and Use4.1 When coke lumps descend in the blast furnace, they aresubjected to reaction with countercurrent CO2and to abrasionas they rub together and against the walls of the fur

9、nace. Theseconcurrent processes physically weaken and chemically reactwith the coke lumps, producing an excess of fines that candecrease burden permeability and result in increased coke ratesand lost hot metal production. This test method is designed tomeasure indirectly this behavior of coke in the

10、 blast furnace.5. Apparatus5.1 Electric Furnace (Fig. 1), capable of housing thereaction vessel assembly containing the coke sample andproviding a uniform temperature of 1100 6 5C in theassembly. Furnace dimensions do not impact the test resultsand may vary from 240 to 1035 mm in length and 76.2 to

11、88.9mm in outside diameter. However, it is preferable that thefurnace have independently controlled heating in three zones toachieve uniformity of heating in the retort and that this controlbe achieved with a programmable controller.5.2 Reaction Vessel (Fig. 1), constructed of a heat-resistantsteel

Belowthis porous plate, a gas preheater, such as a bed of ceramicAl2O3balls sitting on a second perforated plate, diffuse

The accuracy of measuring gas flowratesshould be 61 % of full scale since varying gas flow can causevariability in the test results. Gas pressures through the

19、flowmeters should be maintained at the manufacturers cali-bration specification.5.4 Thermocouple (Fig. 1), of the K, S, or R type normal-ized at 20 to 21C and enclosed in a heat-resistant steel ornickel alloy or ceramic protection tube placed in the center ofthe coke sample in the reaction vessel. A

Square mesh sieves having 22

22、lindrical chamber with an internal length of 700 610 mm and an internal diameter 130 6 5 mm, with end caps of10-mm thickness or more (Note 2). This cylindrical chamber isattached to its longitudinal center to an electric motor fittedwith a direct drive fixed gearbox, a drive belt, or, preferably, ah

23、ydraulic drive set for a revolving rate of 20 6 1 r/min (Note3). A revolution counter is fitted so that the power is cut offwhen the cylinder has revolved 600 times in 30 min.NOTE 2Mild carbon steel should be selected to fabricate this tumblerapparatus.NOTE 3Most Japanese publications refer to this

24、as an I600/10test.6. Sampling6.1 The gross sample of coke shall be collected in accor-dance with Test Method D 346.6.2 For the standard procedure, the quantity must be not lessthan 57 kg (125 lbs).7. Preparation of Sample7.1 Sieve the gross sample at 25.0 mm (1 in.) and discardthe undersize.7.2 With

25、 suitable crushing equipment, preferably a jaw orroll crusher, reduce the size of all of the remaining plus 25.0mm (1 in.) to pass a 22.4-mm (78-in.) sieve opening.7.3 Sieve the crushed sample using a 22.4-mm (78-in.) sieveplaced on top of a 19.0-mm (34-in.) sieve. Discard the minus19.0-mm (34-in.)

26、coke, and retain the 22.4- by 19.0-mm (78-by34-in.) fraction for testing.7.4 The size reduction of the plus 25.0 mm (1 in.) should beaccomplished in stages by recrushing any plus 22.4-mm(78-in.) coke remaining after each subsequent double sievingstep until there is no oversize retained on the 22.4-m

27、m (78-in.)sieve. The opening to the crusher should be set such that thegross sample yields at least 10 % of 19.0- by 22.4-mm (34-by78-in.) test coke (Note 4).NOTE 4The size of the sample required for most coke tests dependson collecting sufficient received material to have sufficient natural samplef

28、or testing, that is, stability 75.0 by 50.0 mm (3 by 2 in.). For the CSRtests, most companies crush as-received coke to yield a 19.0- by 22.0-mmproduct. Therefore, 57 kg (125 lbs) of gross sample is not necessarilyrequired. In fact, Nippon Steel Corporation, the originator of the test,believes 10-kg

29、 (22-lbs) sublots of the gross sample is representative of thegross sample collected and is sufficient, with suitable crushing and sievingequipment, to yield enough 19- by 22-mm coke to provide repeatableresults.44Nishi, T., et al, Journal of the Fuel Society of Japan, Vol 61, No 668, 1982, pp1066-1

31、st coke samples to less than 1 % moisture at150C for 2 h.8. Procedure8.1 From each test coke sample prepared in accordance withSection 7, randomly hand pick and accurately weigh to thenearest 0.1 g (0.0002 lb), a 200- 6 2.0-g sample for testing.Record the number of pieces selected from each test sam

32、ple.8.2 Before the reaction vessel is put into the electric furnace,place the weighed sample in the reaction vessel in a manner asto ensure that the thermocouple sits vertically in the center ofthe coke bed with its tip 50 mm from the bottom of the cokebed. A centering guide normally fastened to the

33、 center of the lidis used to ensure this positioning of the thermocouple tip.NOTE 5Variations in coke density may result in different total cokebed heights in the reaction vessel. Therefore, in situations where 50 mmis not the center of the coke bed, adjust the thermocouple tip accordingly.8.3 Purge

34、 the reaction vessel for 5 min at 5 to 10 L/min ofN2before loading the vessel into the furnace. Check for leaksin the assembly during this purge time.8.4 Preheat the furnace to a temperature that will allow thesample, when the sample is loaded into the furnace, to reach1100 6 5C in 30 min.8.5 Place

35、the reaction vessel into the furnace and heat thesample to 1100C in the atmosphere of N2gas. Once thesample temperature of 1100 6 5C is reached, soak the samplefor 10 min in N2gas for a total heat up time of 40 min. Thenheat the samples for 120 min in an atmosphere of CO2gas,with a flow rate of 5.0

36、L/min 6 1.0 % (Note 6). Maintain thecoke bed temperatures at 1100C 6 5C during the test. (Fig.3)8.6 After exactly 120-min exposure to CO2gas, switch backto the N2purge gas at 5 to 10 L/min for 5 min to purge thereactor vessel of CO2. Subsequently, remove the reactionvessel from the furnace, and allo

37、w the sample temperature tocool to 100C.8.7 After cooling, remove the coke sample from the reactionvessel and weigh the coke to the nearest 0.1 g (0.0002 lbs).8.8 Transfer the reacted coke to the strength after reactiontester and tumble for 600 revolutions in 30 min at 20 6 1r/min.8.9 After the 600

38、revolutions, remove all coke from thedrum. Sieve the coke using a 9.5-mm (38-in.) sieve. Weigh thecoke remaining on the 9.5-mm (38-in.) sieve for calculation ofCSR. Weigh the coke passing the 9.5-mm (38-in.) sieve forchecking material losses during tumbling.NOTE 6Since carbon monoxide (CO) is genera

39、ted during the cokereactivity test, the test apparatus should be placed in an area with properventilation. In addition, a CO monitoring device should be used to detectany unsafe buildup of CO gas.9. Number of Tests9.1 Reactivity and strength after reaction tests should bedetermined in duplicate for

40、each coke sample.9.2 If the difference between the weights of coke remainingafter reaction with CO2gas or after tumbling and sieving on the9.5-mm (38-in.) sieve exceed 10 g (0.022 lbs), conduct oneadditional test and report the mean value of all three tests.10. Calculation10.1 For each test, calcula

41、te, to the nearest 0.1 %, thepercentage of coke remaining after reaction in CO2gas and thatremaining after tumbling on the 9.5-mm (38-in.) sieve. Reportthe average of these values for the two or more tests as the CRIand CSR values, respectively.10.1.1 Calculations are made as follows:CRI 5A 2 BA3 10
