On the other hand, the converter operation is performed as follows. First, the molten pig iron produced in a blast furnace (not shown) is injected into the converter 1 (hereinafter referred to as the pig iron receiving step). Next, the space between the converter 1 and the cooler (hood) 3 is restricted, and the oxygen blowing lance 2
And, pure oxygen and refining gas are blown into the converter 1 from the bottom blowing nozzle 7 (hereinafter referred to as blowing step). In this blowing step, the injected pure oxygen reacts with the carbon in the hot metal to generate high-temperature CO gas, and at the same time, the carbon in the hot metal is removed (decarburization) refining. When this refining is completed, the molten steel is taken out from the converter 1 (hereinafter referred to as the steel output step).

As described above, the converter operation is carried out by repeating a series of steps of pig iron → blowing → steeling, one charge is completed, and the next refining is repeated. In this way, the converter operation is performed intermittently, and therefore the converter exhaust gas is also generated intermittently.
In the conventional converter exhaust gas monitoring method, an abnormality is only notified when the oxygen or hydrogen concentration exceeds a certain concentration based on the detection results of the exhaust gas analyzer installed near the furnace top and the exhaust gas induction blower. Oxygen, hydrogen, C in exhaust gas composition
There is a risk of explosion depending on the composition ratio of flammable gas such as O gas. In particular, it is essential in operation management to monitor the transition of the composition ratio in order to avoid the risk of explosion due to rupture of the exhaust gas recovery device and blockage in the flue.

The conventional exhaust gas composition monitoring method is for independently performing the concentration of a single gas composition, and does not have a system corresponding to the change of the explosion region due to the successive change of a plurality of gas composition ratios. Moreover, in the conventional control method, there is no avoidance measure from the explosion range, and there is no means for immediate response based on the diagnosis result.

The converter 1 is a furnace in which scrap, hot metal, and auxiliary raw materials are charged, and oxygen is blown to smelt. The high temperature CO gas (about 1500 ° C.) generated from the converter 1 is an induction blower 5
Is attracted into the cooler 3 by the dust remover 9, and dust is removed by the dust removers 9 and 10 and then collected as valuable gas in the gas holder 8. When the exhaust gas composition enters the explosive range during blowing, an inert gas is introduced from the purge gas device 13 into the cooler 3 to separate the exhaust gas composition from the explosive range. This has made it possible to control the composition of exhaust gas, which was previously uncontrollable.
