Industrial growth and environmental damages, as two important indicators in sustainable development are followed by steel industry. This article leads industries to green industry. In this case, energy, material, capital consumption and environmental damages as sustainability patterns of environment have been investigated in three different dust collectors to select the most environmentally sui...

OBJECTIVES A cross sectional prospective study was carried out among iron foundry workers (exposed) and soft drink bottling and supply company workers (unexposed) to assess their occupational exposure to ambient respiratory dust in their work environment and its effect on their lung function profile. PARTICIPANTS Lung function was measured in 81 exposed and 113 unexposed workers. Personal res...

  A novel compact fiber-coupled NIR system based on a DFB diode laser source is employed as a portable and sensitive gas sensor for trace detection of combustion pollutant molecules. We demonstrate the performance of such an NIR gas sensor by tracing the absorption lines of CO and CH4 using 2f-WMS technique at moderate temperature of T ~ 600°C in the recuperator channel of an industrial furnace...

Scale up of microwave sintering for high temperature stable non-oxide ceramics, such as SiC, Si3N4, and dispersion ceramics, like SiC-MoSi2 is still difficult, mainly because of lack of an affordable equipment. For air atmosphere sintering different furnaces were developed, like e.g., gas-microwave hybrid heated tunnel kilns [1] or microwave sintering using an adiabatic casket in tunnel kilns [...

Ferrochrome is the major chromium source for stainless steel production, and submerged-arc furnaces (SAF) are most commonly utilised to smelt chromite ores into ferrochrome by using suitable carbonaceous reductants such as coke. Because of the complexity of feed structure and electrical-thermal-chemical interactions, there exist large gradients and wide distributions of temperature, mineralogy ...

In order to discuss the atomization process of an analyte element occurring in a graphite furnace for atomic absorption spectrometry, we measured variations in the characteristic temperature with the progress of an atomization stage, by using a two-line method under the assumption of a Boltzmann distribution. For this purpose, iron was chosen as the analyte element. Also, the atomic absorption ...

In this paper, by using the data of steel melting plant which contains major non-linear load i.e., induction furnace, we modeled such a system, which contains three 12-tons induction furnace in PSCAD software and simulated for three different operating conditions & studied harmonic pattern. Keywords—Induction Melting Furnace;Steel Melting Shop;Harmonics Analysis;Power Quality.

A non-linear model has been developed for a gas-fired furnace in which oil is heated. The model is applicable from minimum to maximum heat load of the furnace. The dynamics of the model have been compared to experimental results, which were obtained for a pilot-scale furnace. They are in good agreement. A cascade control with feed-forward action has been compared to single feed-back control. Pr...

Combining the transformation project of certain strip steel rolling production line, the techniques process of walking beam heating furnace was elaborated in this paper. The practical application of LOS-T18-2ZC1 laser detector was elaborated. The network communication model of walking beam heating furnace control system was designed. The realization method of production process automation contr...
