In this work, the method of numerical simulation is used to first compare and analyze the …
Under high temperature, coke (some blast furnace coal injection, heavy oil, natural gas, and other auxiliary fuel) in the carbon reacts with the blowing of oxygen in the air to generate high temperature gas (carbon monoxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen). When the gas rises in the furnace, it heats the falling charge and reacts with the oxygen in the ...
In order to simulate the injection of coal into the blast furnace, a drop tube furnace (detailed in [15, 33] and shown in Fig. 1) was used.The drop tube furnace utilises high heating rates (10 4 –10 5 °C/s) and short residence times (35 ms–700 ms) that can be adjusted to resemble the initial blast furnace hot blast and raceway environments. . …
Based on the typical characteristic index, a ratio model of the blast furnace injection coal blending is proposed. The experimental results show that compared with anthracite, semi-coke has the characteristics of higher moisture about 5–8%, lower ash fusion temperature about 1300°C and lower grindability index between 50 ~ 60, while …
The most important development of the blast furnace process in the last years was the installation of pulverized coal injection facilities at the blast furnace. Besides technical advantages, the economic reason was the motivation for …
Blast Furnaces. The blast furnace (BF) is the most widely used ironmaking . process in the U.S. A major advance in BF ironmaking has been the use of pulverized coal which partially replaces metallurgi-cal coke. This results in substantial improvement in furnace efficiency and thus the reductions of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
1. Introduction. Coal injection in the blast furnace is understood to reduce the consumption of expensive coking coals, increase productivity, increase flexibility in operation, improve the consistency of hot metal quality, and reduce the overall emissions from steel plants [1].Typically, coal is injected into the blast line at temperatures around …
Pulverized coal injection of blast furnace ironmaking is a smelting technology where pulverized coal is directly blown into the blast furnace hearth from the …
Blast furnaces produce pig iron from iron ore by the reducing action of carbon (supplied as coke) at a high temperature in the presence of a fluxing agent such as limestone.Ironmaking blast furnaces consist of several zones: a crucible-shaped hearth at the bottom of the furnace; an intermediate zone called a bosh between the hearth and the stack; a …
Oxygen blast furnace (OBF) is a promising ironmaking technology to realize low carbon emissions. It is featured in high oxygen-enriched operations and suffers from excessively high gas flame temperature. ... therefore allowing a higher coal injection rate to achieve better fuel economy. As the CROG injection rate increases to reach the same hot ...

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 blown with the gas into the bosh and dead man areas with possible detrimental effects on gas flow and permeability of the coke column.
This paper presents a novel concept of Power to Gas in an oxygen blast furnace, through blast furnace gas methanation and direct H 2 injection. The PEM electrolyser produces H 2, which reacts with the CO and CO 2 from the blast furnace gas forming synthetic natural gas. The latter gas is injected into the blast furnace, closing a …
