This paper describes the adsorption of two organic (acetic and citric) acids on the blast furnace sludge, a representative by-product of the steelmaking industry. By PIXE, XRD, BET and SEM methods, it was shown that blast furnace sludge is a complex heterogeneous material with a specific surface area of s = 31.46 m g, composed mainly of amorphous phase (w = 76.2 %), calcite (w = 9.9 %), magneti...

The present paper reports a statistical analysis of the performance of the blast furnace number X at the Bhilai Steel Plant over a period of sixteen years with the special reference to the quality and consumption of sinter . The variation in basicity and consumption of sinter, for the blast furnace data considered , is wide. The range of data covers high level to almost nil amount of raw limest...

The design of system for operative planning of blast furnace production process in VSŽ inc. Kosice A system for operative planning of blast furnace production process is described in the paper. The suggested system is based on the use of a new hierarchy of operative plans, consisting of one-month plan, (7+3) days plan, and 24-hour plan. The system allows smoothing of production process at the b...

environmental pollutions are in considerable attention in steel industries in iran, where mostly are located around isfahan. therefore, an investigation was done mainly on the industrial pollution and waste related to the isfahan steel complex. a plant was installed to collect the uncontrolled fumes, gases and particulates from blast furnace number ii during tapping. this plant collects about 2...

background: noise pollution is currently a major health risk factor for workers in industries. the aim of this study was to investigate noise pollution and implement a control intervention plan for blast furnace in a steel industry. methods: the measurement of sound pressure level (spl) along with frequency analysis was done with the sound-level-meter cell-450 . personal noise exposure was perf...

As a valuable byproduct of iron-making process, blast furnace slag contains tremendous amount of sensible heat. Granulation of blast furnace slag is the first step for its heat recovery. Due to environmental and energy issues, dry centrifugal granulation has received a considerable amount of attention. However, the flight dynamics of blast furnace slag, which is of great importance for size des...

In developing country like India due to the remarkable development in road infrastructure, Soil stabilization has become the major issue in construction activity. Stabilization is an unavoidable for the purpose of highway and runway construction, stabilization denotes improvement in both strength and durability which are related to performance. Stabilization is a method of processing available ...

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 ...
