Title: Reaction and Transport Phenomena Relevant to the Si Transfer at the Lower Part of the Blast Furnace
Abstract:In commemorating Otani's outstanding contribution to the ironmaking and physical chemistry of the blast furnace, the reactions and transport phenomena at the lower part of the blast furnace are discus...In commemorating Otani's outstanding contribution to the ironmaking and physical chemistry of the blast furnace, the reactions and transport phenomena at the lower part of the blast furnace are discussed with particular emphasis on the Si transfer. Direct measurements of the raceway and surrounding region with a sideways tuyere probe reveal the presence of FeO rich slag inside the raceway. These observations are used for discussion of the Si reduction mechanism with iron ore and flux injection through the blast furnace tuyere.Read More
