Hydrogen (H 2) energy is a promising candidate to replace carbon monoxide (CO) as a
reductant for iron oxide reduction in revolutionary ironmaking industrial processes, and …

The tuyère injection is one of the key tools to exhaust the blast furnace potential and to
minimize its CO2 emissions. The review argues theoretical basis and operation strategies …

The main production route for steel in Europe is still via the blast furnace. Computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to analyze the process virtually and thus improve its …

The pulverized coal injection (PCI) is pursued to reduce the hot metal production cost by
replacing the expensive metallurgical coke with the non-coking coal. Increasing the PCI rate …

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito das diferentes propriedades químicas, físicas e
petrográficas de carvões minerais sobre suas performances na injeção em altos-fornos …

The traditional integrated ironmaking plant is based on blast furnace operations for the
reduction of iron oxides to cast iron. Seventy percent of the steel produced globally is based …

Heat transfer is a crucial aspect of thermochemical conversion of pulverized fuels. Over-
predicting the heat transfer during heat-up leads to under-estimation of the ignition time …

A injeção de carvão pulverizado (Pulverized Coal Injection-PCI) é uma tecnologia já
consolidada do alto-forno que promove a redução no consumo de coque, gera maior …

Heat transfer is a crucial aspect of thermochemical conversion of pulverized fuels.
Overpredicting the heat transfer during heat-up leads to under-estimation of the ignition time …

Replacement of metallurgical coke by pulverized coal (PC) injected in blast furnace (BF)
tuyeres is a major economical challenge, due to the high price of coke and unfavourable …
