We report a multipurpose furnace designed for studies using synchrotron radiation on polycrystalline materials, namely, metals, ceramics, and (semi)crystalline polymers. The furnace has been designed to carry out three-dimensional (3D) x-ray diffraction measurements but can also be used for other types of synchrotron radiation research. The furnace has a very low thermal gradient across the spe...

This paper mainly emphasizes development of a multifluid blast furnace model and its application to simulate several innovative ironmaking operations. At first, the development process and framework of the model are briefly introduced. Then, model simulations on hydrogen bearer injection show that the enhancement of hydrogen reduction brings the improvement of furnace performance, especially fo...

Gas permeability in a blast furnace is directly influenced by the burden profile, which is the result of the charging angle collocation. An obviously increment in both iron-making productivity and furnace campaign life will be observed in a high heat utilization furnace with uniform gas permeability. An online burden profile measuring device without gas leakage risks and heavy maintaining load ...

this research was conducted to study the effect of lime based flux with the composition of cao-20%caf2-8%feo on simultaneous removal of phosphorus and sulfur from hot metal. the effects of na2o and oxygen blowing were also studied. the experiments were performed using an induction furnace and hot metal produced in isfahan steel company in the temperature range 1350-1450 ºc. the results showed t...

This article shows an experimental investigation carried out for the stabilization of a sulfate soil. The was in two phases: first phase consumption present soil through its controlled transformation into ettringite. After this, modified with lower maximum density, greater optimum moisture identified via standard proctor (SP) test, no plasticity and improved unconfined compressive strength (UCS...

There is a risk of heavy metal emission during solid waste incineration, and the capture gaseous semi-volatile by mineral sorbents an effective method for its pollution control. As cheap common additive combustion industry, limestone sorbent controlling various pollutants, but high-temperature sorption mechanism chlorides has not been systematically studied yet. In this study, experimental stud...

Rapid development around the globe, increase of population and construction with latest megastructures have escalated demand for energy. The increasing ambient outdoor temperature requires mechanical air conditioners to maintain a comfortable environment within building, this contributes high energy consumption. Building good thermal conductivity properties passively reduces This experimental w...
