Erosion of the refractory materials in blast furnaces (BFs) greatly limits their campaign life,
which seriously reduces the economic benefits of iron and steel plants and endangers …

Genetic programming is a powerful, robust and versatile tool that is suitable for predicting
and forecasting, especially in the steelmaking industry, where the diversity of serial …

In iron ore sinter plants blast furnace dust and other fine-grained residues which are rich in
iron or carbon content are recycled. The carbon contained in the blast furnace dust can be …

The influence mechanism of zinc on the solution loss reaction of coke at high temperature
was studied using the method of liquid phase adsorption. The microcrystalline structure …

A hybrid model of the rotary hearth furnace was developed by integrating a limited number
of operational data and first-principle knowledge of the process. The digital transformation …

One of the typical wastes produced in blast-furnace (BF) ironmaking is BF sludge, which
mostly consists of carbon and iron oxides, but also contains toxic trace metals such as Zn …

The Zn compounds in the industry blend of raw materials and the sinter product were
classified into four categories by a sequential extraction method. Out of the total Zn in the …

The novelty of deep reduction roasting is that iron (Fe) can be recovered to high degrees
and a large proportion of zinc and lead impurities can be simultaneously removed. In this …

The present research investigated the removal of zinc from BOF (basic oxygen furnace)
sludges in an attempt to reuse the iron content of the sludge in the production of sinter. The …

Several hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, or a combination of both, have
been developed for the removal of zinc from blast furnace sludge (BFS). In the present work …
