in this research, the effects of oxygen injection during the induration process were studied in order to improve the quality specifications and increase the rate of production of the iron oxide pellets. several experiments were carried out in palletizing pilot plant in different conditions of oxygen injection. the results suggested that if only the extra oxygen was injected into the furnace in ...

The oxidation behavior of silicon-containing steel was studied by applying segmented heating routes similar to the atmosphere and heating process in an industrial reheating furnace. The oxidation tests were carried out on a simultaneous thermal analyzer at heating temperatures of 1150 ̋C–1300 ̋C. The morphologies of Fe2SiO4 were observed by SEM, and the penetration depths of the Fe2SiO4 layer a...

A group of Stellite alloys are studied in consideration of temperature effects on their hardness and wear resistance. The hardness test is conducted on a micro-hardness tester with a hot stage equipped that allows heating the specimen up to 650°C. The wear resistance of each alloy is evaluated using a pin-on-disc tribometer with a heating furnace built-in that provides the temperature capacity ...

Abstract—In this study, the Compressive strength of concretes made with Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS), Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA), Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Waste Glass Powder (WGP) after they were exposed 780C (exposure duration of around 60 minutes) and then allowed to cool down gradually in the furnace for about 280 minutes at water binder ratio of 0.50 was investigated. GGBS, PFA...

Pyrolysis of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) waste has been investigated under different process parameters, such as temperature, heating rate and types of zeolitic catalysts to produce valuable liquid products. Liquid, gas and coke as products of pyrolysis and aromatic, naphthene, olefin and paraffin as liquid components were obtained and their molecular weight distributions were studied with c...

A relatively new technology for calorimetry has recently been discussed for practical use and since then marketed by PerkinElmer under the name HyperDSC®. The detailed characteristics and use of this new mode of measurement, which represents a major step forward in Fast Scanning Calorimetry (FSC) as compared to Standard DSC, have been published.1-4 Controlled and constant scan rates of hundreds...

tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

Each tooth was then placed upon the reticulated zirconia in the thermal containment box and the technique of Microwave Hybrid Heating (MHH) was applied. The temperature measurements were taken every two minutes. We attempted to sinter the teeth in the microwave furnace with both fast and gradual heating rate (per minute) by manipulating the power rate. The power was increased gradually for few ...

In order to examine the effect of ageing on P removal capacity, the phosphorus (P) removal capacity of three types of slag, argon oxygen decarburisation slag (AOD), blast furnace slag (BFS) and electric arc furnace slag (EAF), was examined after 0, 10, 13 and 19 months in batch experiments. The results showed that ageing reduced P removal capacity, e.g. by 78.4% for 19-month-old AOD slag. For B...
