Abstract

Modern blast furnace ironmaking technology must comply with increasing environmental permitting and legislation and the blast furnace industry is simultaneously facing unreliable raw materials quality as well as high and volatile raw material prices due to high global demand. These challenges may be overcome by minimizing coke and energy consumption. This includes high pulverized coal injection, efficient gas cleaning and hot blast system technologies and a long campaign life blast furnace design. These technologies are discussed in the paper.
