A noble low NOx combustion technology, based on partial oxidation combustion concept in a fuel rich combustion zone, is successfully applied in this research. The burner is designed such that a portion of fuel is heated and pre-vaporized in the furnace then injected into a fuel rich combustion zone so that a partial oxidation reaction occurs. The effects of equivalence ratio, thermal load, and ...

The increased utilization of pellets in blast furnaces is one the directions for low-carbon ironmaking. As a result, low slag rate may affect desulfurization hot metal and removal alkali furnace. Effective ironmaking process have become focus steel industry. In this paper, effects quantity, temperature, reaction time composition on were studied using slag-metal method. It was found that quantit...

The technological process for manufacturing seamless steel tubes in the Sisak Rolling Mill includes the heating of the charge for processing in the hearth-rotating furnace. Description of the furnace and its operation can be found in literature 1 . In the process currently applied for producing the tubes with the outer diameter of 168.3–356.6 mm the temperature is between 1280 and 1300 °C 2 . T...

SiC nanowires have been synthesized at 1,600 degrees C by using a simple and low-cost method in a high-frequency induction furnace. The commercial SiO powder and the arc-discharge plasma pretreated carbon black were mixed and used as the source materials. The heating-up and reaction time is less than half an hour. It was found that most of the nanowires have core-shell SiC/SiO(2) nanostructures...

highly crystalline bi3+-doped cadmium oxide (cdo) sub-micron structures were synthesized by calcination the obtained precursor from a sol-gel reaction. the reaction was carried out with cadmium nitrate (cd(no3)2.4h2o), bismuth nitrate (bi(no3)3.5h2o) and ethylene glycol (c2h6o2) reactants without any additives at 80°c for 2h. resulting gel was calcined at 900 °c with increasing temperature rate...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nowadays, are one of the important nanomaterials that can be produce with different methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Growing of CNTs via CVD method can be influenced by several operating parameters that can affect their quality and quantity. In this article, the effects of inlet gas mixture temperature on CNT’s local growth rate, total production, and le...

The present paper reports a statistical analysis of the performance of the blast furnace number X at the Bhilai Steel Plant over a period of sixteen years with the special reference to the quality and consumption of sinter . The variation in basicity and consumption of sinter, for the blast furnace data considered , is wide. The range of data covers high level to almost nil amount of raw limest...

INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of two trials conducted with the Blast Furnace Granular Coal Injection System at Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Bums Harbor Plant. The trials were conducted using granulated and pulverized high volatile coal from Colorado. The first trial was conducted to quantify the effect that a high volatile western coal, Colorado Oxbow, has on the blast furnace ...

The difficulty in measuring load temperatures inside reheating gas furnaces may be circumvented by appropriate use of on-line numerical models. In this article we describe a model of pusher furnaces, used to reheat steel slabs. The model uses thermocouple measurements at fixed positions inside the furnace to calculate the temperature of the combustion products, and takes into account radiative ...
