Objective The use of high rates of coal injection in the blast furnace and the resulting reduction of coke charged in the furnace lead to important modifications of the internal state of the furnace, especially in the hearth and raceway areas. The objective of this multinational project is to obtain improved control of three important phenomena regarding high coal injection rates, i.e.: the consumption of coal in the furnace (combustion vs gasification), the permeability of the hearth and dead man, the behaviour of the raceway as gas distributor in the furnace. These phenomena will be assessed by direct investigations and measurements on operating furnaces, and data will be provided for further modelling of the processes.
