Pulverized coal burnout in blast furnace simulated by a drop tube ...
Reactions of pulverized coal injection (PCI) in a blast furnace were simulated using a drop tube furnace (DTF) to investigate the burnout behavior of a number of coals and coal blends. For the coals with the fuel ratio ranging from to, the experimental results indicated that the burnout increased with decreasing the fuel ratio, except for certain coals departing from the general trend.
