Optimization of ironmaking blast furnaces (BFs) must consider bottom and top operations. This is done by a recently developed integrated BF model covering the BF below the burden surface. Key operating parameters are focused, viz. coal rate, oxygen enrichment, blast temperature, and burden central opening extent. Numerical orthogonal experiments are thus conducted. Fitting the simulation data yields...
A limitation in numerical modelling of the ironmaking blast furnace is the inability to quantify the effects of particle deformation and subsequent loss of porosity arising from the softening and melting of ferrous materials. Previous attempts to consider deformation focused solely on the macroscopic effects such as resistance to gas flow, with an assumed decrease in porosity proportional to temperature...
