The blast furnace iron making process (BFIMP) is the key of the integrated steel enterprise for energy saving due to its largest energy consumption proportion. In this paper, an all-factors analysis approach on energy consumption was proposed in BFIMP. Firstly, the BFIMP composition and production data should be collected. Secondly, the material flows and energy flows analysis models could be established based on material balance and the thermal equilibrium. Then, the all influence factors (mainly including material flows, energy flows and operation parameters) on energy consumption were obtained. Thirdly, the main influence factors, which influenced the coke ratio (CR) and the pulverized coal injection ratio (PCIR), were obtained by using the partial correlation analysis (PCA) method, because CR and PCIR were the key energy consumption performance in BFIMP. Furthermore, anall-factors analysis result could be achieved by a multivariate linear model (MLR), which was established through these main influence factors. The case study showed that the PCIR was the most effective parameter on CR; when it was increased by 1% (0.84 kg/t), the CR would reduce by 0.507 kg/t. Therefore, the increase in PCIR consumption is the key measure to realize energy saving for BFIMP. The results showed that the improvement of some material flows, energy flows and operation parameters could increase the amount of PCIR, such as sinter size, ore grade, sinter grade, M10, blast volume, blast temperature and especially for sinter alkalinity. Moreover, theall-factors analysis approach on energy consumption can widely be used in various BFIMPs, too.
