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 ...

Conversion of propanal to gasoline-range molecules was investigated over a series of HZSM-5 catalysts with controlled mesoporosity generated by desilication. Characterization of the structure of the solid by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), ammonia and isopropylamine temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and n-butane diffusivity measurements confirmed the...

Quantitative analysis by X-ray powder diffraction of two cokes (pitch coke and petroleum coke) shows that their crystal structure changed with increasing temperature. The crystal data processing of the crystallization degree of disorder is used with further improvement of the proposed microcrystalline-stacking fault calculation method. With this improvement it is now possible to obtain the degr...

This article discusses the existing calculation of heat for a coal-fired hot-blast furnace. By utilizing the standard method of heat calculation for boilers, considering the relation between the theoretical combustion temperature and the excess air coefficient of the boiler, combining some operational parameters of a coal-fired powder hot-blast furnace, the heat calculation of iron ore concentr...

various traditional and industrial coke making techniques were discussed based on their limitations and production capacities, and the criteria such as the quality and size of coke production, amount of coke crumb, amount of investment, amount of operational costs, labor force and mechanization. in this work, the rankings of various traditional and industrial coke making techniques were carried...

Coke strength is the most important characteristic for retaining permeability in the bed of a blast furnace. In the present study, coke was coated with phenolic resin in order to improve the coke strength, and a nanoindentation method was used to estimate the strength of the coated coke after reaction under CO2 atmosphere. The elastic modulus was measured for the microporous coke substrate,. Th...

To decrease the operating cost of flue gas purification technologies based on carbon-based materials, the adsorption and regeneration performance of low-price semi-coke and activated coke were compared for SO2 and NO removal in a simulated flue gas. The functional groups of the two adsorbents before and after regeneration were characterized by a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, a...
