Slag irrigation of coke packing in blast furnaces

  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

Elements of a hydrodynamic theory of the coke packing in blast furnaces are developed, with practical applications. The static and dynamic characteristics of the slag and the coke packing are deter-mined. Regression analysis indicates the relative significance of the factors in establishing the irrigation intensity and density of coke in the packing and the hearth by slag. The formation of slag residue is also investigated in the presence external and internal sources of smelting slag and titanium (iron) slag. The optimal irrigation density of the coke packing by the slag is determined.
