The invention discloses a method for reducing the tapping frequency of a
blast furnace. The method comprises the following steps that a clay gun is beaten to a tapping hole of the
blast furnace through a clay beater, and the
blast furnace is controlled to conduct closing operation for at least 50 minutes; gun clay comprises the components of, by
mass, more than 25% of Al2O3, 25%-30% of SiO2, and more than 15% of SiC and 15%-20% of C; and a tapping
machine is used for opening an iron notch of the blast furnace, molten iron in the blast furnace is discharged, in the first tapping stage, the interval
time range of two adjacent times of molten iron discharging is 70-90 minutes, in the second tapping stage, the interval
time range of two adjacent times of molten iron discharging is 80-100 minutes, in the third tapping stage, the interval
time range of two adjacent times of molten iron discharging is 90-110 minutes, in the fourth tapping stage, the interval time range of two adjacent times of molten iron discharging is 100-120 minutes, and in the fifth tapping stage, the interval time range of two adjacent times of molten iron discharging is 110-130 minutes. According to the method, thetapping frequency of the blast furnace can be reduced, and the gun clay consumption can also be reduced.
