Coal Injection in an Experimental Blast Furnace: A Comprehensive Report

Details

• Personal Author:
  Woolf PL
• Description:
  Blast furnace coal injection tests conducted by the Bureau of Mines in cooperation with a consortium of 22 steel companies in 1963-64 are described. These tests were part of a program of extensive investigation of auxiliary fuel injection in the Bureau's experimental blast furnace located at Bruceton, Pennsylvania. Seventeen coal tests are described on various coals ranging from anthracite to subbituminous. Factors affecting maximum rates of the injection were studied. These included coal size, coal type, and oxygen enrichment. The effect of high sulfur content coal and the means to control metal sulfur were investigated. An epilogue briefly describing the commercial experience with coal injection from 1960 to the present has been included. [Description provided by NIOSH]
