Abstract
Recently, various worldwide studies have been conducted to improve converter operation by modifying the lance nozzle. In this study, a numerical analysis of the lance nozzle was conducted to improve the dephosphorization efficiency, and to reduce blowing time. The lance nozzle was designed in the form of an abnormal expansion..... More

Abstract
In the iron ore sintering process, a thermal imbalance can occur in the sinter feed bed which degrades the quality of the sintered ores. In order to solve this thermal imbalance, it is necessary to control the sizes of the sintering feed charging through the chute by designing an appropriate..... More

Abstract
The carbon composite iron oxide briquette (CCB) is considered a potential solution to the upcoming use of low grade iron resources in the ironmaking process. CCB is able to reduce raw material cost by enabling the use of low grade powdered iron ores and coal. Additionally, the fast reduction of..... More

Abstract
The world is gradually running short of high quality iron resources. This forces ironmaking processes to focus on the use of low quality iron ores. Carbon composite iron oxide briquettes (CCB) are one of the alternative choices. CCB enables the utilization of low quality powdered iron ores and coal, and..... More
