Numerical simulation of multiphase flow induced by bottom blowing limestone powder in converter steelmaking
A full-scale three-dimensional model of a 120 t steel converter was established to evaluate the effects of bottom-blown limestone particle injection speed, diameter, and nozzle location on the particle distribution and molten metal flow field using numerical simulations. The results indicated that a particle injection speed of 6 m/s, particle diameter of 0.5 mm, and injection nozzle location at 1/2 of the converter bottom radius provided the longest particle residence time and largest quantity of particles in the molten metal. Furthermore, the use of these parameters produced within the molten metal an obvious particle concentration along the centerline of the converter, the fastest average liquid metal–particle flow velocity, and moderate splashing. These optimal injection parameters created favorable kinetic conditions for the dephosphorization reaction essential to steelmaking. This study provide a theoretical basis for realizing the improved efficiency associated with the use limestone instead of lime in practical steel production.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
