This paper presents a pioneering approach by SMS group, focusing on the integration of advanced thermal dry reforming technology into existing blast furnace infrastructures. The scope of this study is to explore the potential of Paul Wurth's thermal dry reforming process in reducing CO2 emissions while leveraging current coke oven plants. This innovative technology introduces a novel method to...
The addition of highly reactive ferro-coke can lower the temperature of the thermal reserve zone (TRZ), which improves shaft efficiency in a blast furnace. A better understanding of the link between microstructure, microtexture and strength in ferro-coke is needed to optimise the blend composition and maximise strength.
This study investigates the microstructure and microtexture of...
One of the coal pre-treatment process used to produce high-strength coke while incorporating a large amount of low-quality coal is the briquette blending carbonization process. Briquette blending carbonization process improves coke strength by mixing high-density briquette with powder coal. On the other hand, it is known that blending briquettes with powder coal forms low bulk density regions...
In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, coke oven plant operators are increasingly confronted with the pressing challenge of managing aging equipment. As many coke oven batteries, machines, and associated equipment near the end of their operational lifespan, operators face the risk of unscheduled production interruptions, increased emissions, and elevated health and safety concerns...
The partial substitution of coal with waste plastics in the coking process can improve resource recycling and sustainability of cokemaking and ironmaking processes. A fundamental understanding of how plastic pyrolysis influences microstructural transformations in coke ovens remains limited, despite its significant impact on coke quality. This study addresses this knowledge gap through an...
