Funded Activity Summary

Model studies of solid flow and size segregation in ironmaking blast furnace. The proposed project will investigate the fundamentals governing the flow and segregation of particles in relation to permeability distribution, the optimisation of which is critical for stable operations of a modern blast furnace (BF). A mathematical model will be developed to describe bed permeability at a particle-scale level; this model will be validated using detailed analysis of microscopic and macroscopic data from concurrent physical experiments. Outcomes of the project will provide a fundamental basis for upgrading BHP BF process models. Through superior BF control strategies and lower costs, this project will assist in improving the competitiveness of Australia's steel industry.
