The global annual production of steel is approximately 2 billion tons, accounting for 8% of
the world's energy demand and 7% of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions in the energy sector …

Two strategies to use a rotary hearth furnace (RHF) are discussed from the perspectives of
techno-economics and CO 2 reduction. One is to use the RHF to produce low-reduced iron …

Steel production is considered as one of the major backbones of many economies. Though
blast furnace is the primary route of steel production, the industries are willing to alternatives …

The presence of zinc in byproduct dust produced during steel production poses a challenge
to resource management and can have adverse environmental effects. This study …

A hybrid model of the rotary hearth furnace was developed by integrating a limited number
of operational data and first-principle knowledge of the process. The digital transformation …

In this study, we established mathematical model of the carbon-containing pellet reduction
process and used the neural network model to speed up the prediction process for actual …

Abstract Effect of oxygen enrichment on flow field, temperature, concentration distribution,
emission, and fuel economy has been studied inside a pilot-scale Rotary Hearth Furnace …

It is very important for a multilayer pellet bed to have a proper description of the radiant heat
transfer and direct reduction process in the rotary hearth furnace. Ellipsoidal pellets may …

A CDF model for simulating gas dynamics, heat and mass transfer in the freeboard of a pilot-
scale Rotary Hearth Furnace (RHF) is developed in conjunction with an independent solid …

A mathematical model for the reduction of different shapes of carbon-containing pellet in a
rotary hearth furnace was established. The influence of the pellet shape on its direct …
