Advanced Pulverized Coal Injection Technology And Blast Furnaef Operation.
In Order To Reduce The Cost Of Running Blast Furnaces (bfs), Injected Pulverized Coal Is Used Rather Than Coke To Fire Bfs.
As A Result Of This, Unburned Fine Materials Are Stale With The Gas nIto The Bosh And Dead Man Areas With Possible Detrimental Effects On Gas Flow And Permeability Of The Coke Column.
The Capacity Of The Furnace To Consume Thesse Particles By Solution Loss Is Probably One Of The Limitatkons To Coal Injection.
It Is, Therefor3, Important To Understand The Physicochemical And Aerodynamic Behaviour Of Fines Including The Change Of In-furnace Phenomena.
The Committee Of Pulverized Coal Combustion And In-furnace Reaction In Bf Was Place Up In 1993 As A Cooperative Research Of The Japan Society For The Promotion Of Science (jsps) And The Iron And Steel Institue (isij) To Evaluate Investigation Initiative Into This Problem.
