Abstract
In order to improve the blast furnaces stability and productivity, industri al trials with the aim of reducing the circulating alkali load in the furna ce and tests on a laboratory scale have been performed. The mechanical beha viour (fines generation) during reduction in presence of alkalis of various iron materials loaded in the blast furnace (sinter, pellets, iron ores) ha s been characterized with a set of Boris trials.
