Abstract
Based on the fundamental processes and principles of ironmaking in a BF, an analysis was conducted on the production technical data from 18 large-scale 3200 m 3 BFs in China in 2020. The study systematically investigated the influence of top pressure on reduction, air injection, furnace top, energy consumption, and pig iron composition within the BF. Practical operations in a newly No. 1 3200 m 3 BF in a Chinese company demonstrated that increasing the top pressure not only effectively improved the smelting process, operational stability, and reduced furnace fluctuations but also led to a decrease in dust emissions, increased pig iron yield and quality, and significantly reduced fuel consumption and process energy consumption. Against the backdrop of dual carbon objectives, gaining a scientific understanding of the dynamic operation principles of the BF smelting process and continuously exploring low-carbon ironmaking methods have become the focus for professionals and researchers in the fields of BF ironmaking, production management, technology, and scientific research.
期刊介绍:
Metallurgical Research and Technology (MRT) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal publishing original high-quality research papers in areas ranging from process metallurgy to metal product properties and applications of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, including light-metals. It covers also the materials involved in the metal processing as ores, refractories and slags.
The journal is listed in the citation index Web of Science and has an Impact Factor.
It is highly concerned by the technological innovation as a support of the metallurgical industry at a time when it has to tackle severe challenges like energy, raw materials, sustainability, environment... Strengthening and enhancing the dialogue between science and industry is at the heart of the scope of MRT. This is why it welcomes manuscripts focusing on industrial practice, as well as basic metallurgical knowledge or review articles.
