Ve. Levchenko et al., INVESTIGATING NATURE OF DESCENT OF MATERIALS IN BLAST-FURNACE WITH INCREASED PROPORTION OF PELLETS IN CHARGE, Steel in translation, 22(9), 1992, pp. 391-393
The descent of solid and liquid materials and their distribution in th
e blast furnace and the effect on this of increasing the proportion of
pellets in the burden from 33 to 100% have been investigated on an in
dustrial furnace. It is considered that efficient operation is promote
d by charging and blowing conditions ensuring the formation of radial
combustion zones and a decrease in the quantity of pellets at the furn
ace wall.
