Study on material flow trajectory with DEM for bell-less top charging of blast furnace

Discrete element simulation technology is widely used to study the law of burden movement in the charging process of blast furnace, and its method of calculating bulk material movement has been recognized by domestic and foreign experts. SOLIDWORKS and EDEM′s Geometry were used to establish the geometric models for the charging system of a bell less top blast furnace, and numerical simulations were conducted with DEM physical properties of charging materials. The influences of the inclination angle of chute, the depth of stock line, and the structure of chute on the movement trajectory of the charge particles were studied. The results show that the radius of the coke landing point increases with the increase of the inclination angle of the chute. When the inclination angle is 13.3°, the burden does not contact the chute during the falling process. As the depth of the stock line increases, the radius of the coke landing position also increases, but the increment decreases. Under the same inclination angle, the radius of landing position of the rectangular chute is 0.3m smaller than that of the semi circular chute, the material flow is more concentrated, and the charging result is slightly better. Compared with smooth chute, the chute with lining leads to a smaller radius of landing position (less than 0.13m) and a smaller width of material flow when the coke is distributed charged. The lining can also reduce the wear of chute surface of through the friction between particles and extend the service life of the chute.
