BFGCI technology involves injecting coal directly into an iron-making blast furnace and subsequently reduces the need for coke on approximately a pound of coke for pound of coal basis. BFGCI also increases blast furnace production. Coke will be replaced with direct coal injection at a rate of up to 400 poundsmore »

In pulverized coal injection process, coal dust is entering after the belly pipe of air port to leaving air port oxidation zone, and the residence time is very of short duration, and only less than the time of 0.2 second, the coal dust that enters blast furnace must during this period of time complete intensification, decompose and burning.At present, the …

Blast furnace pulverized coal injection is an important technology to reduce production cost and stabilize operations [1,2].
