Impact of PCI Coal Quality on Blast Furnace Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulverized coal injection has assisted the steel industry to lower operating costs, extend coke oven life and lower greenhouse emissions. As the understanding of the impact of quality of the injected coal has increased, there has been a shift from high volatile thermal coals to low volatile semi-anthracites. A heat and mass model was used to investigate the impact of the injected coal properties on coke replacement ratio and operating costs under two sets of operating conditions corresponding to European and Japanese practices. The model was also used to investigate the impact of the injected coal ash content on the likely operating costs of a blast furnace.

Blast Furnace Coal Injection Trial Results Using Granulated and Pulverized High Volatile Coal
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 ...

It is attempt in pulverized coal injection (PCI) in blast furnace tuyeres to increase the injection rate without increasing the amount of unburned char inside the stack of the blast furnace. The unburned char can cause problems in the blast furnace operation, such as reduced permeability, undesirable gas/temperature distribution, excessive coke erosion and significant char carryover. In the nea...

Combining Statistics and Mathematical Programming to Develop Coal Blends for Optimum Cokemaking and Blast
An important problem at an integrated steel producing plant is the blending of different types of coals to make coke for the blast furnace operation. Historically linear blending models were not appropriate because coal properties important for both optimum cokemaking and blast furnace operation do not combine linearly and are not completely understood. In this talk, a two-step methodology is d...
متن کاملPlastic Wastes, Lube Oils and Carbochemical Products as Secondary Feedstocks for Blast-furnace Coke Production
Plastic wastes, lube oils and coal-tar are evaluated, individually and combined, as additives to coal blends for the production of blast-furnace coke. The effects of adding 2 wt% of potential additives or their mixtures (50:50 w/w) on the coking capacity of coal, the pressure generated during the coking process and the coke quality parameters were evaluated. Using a combination of polyolefin wa...
