Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the reactivity of pulverised coal at extreme conditions when injected into blast furnaces during PCI. This study aims to improve the understanding and develop a mathematical model of coal combustion during injection into blast furnaces as PCI (pulverised coal injection). The principle economic and social benefits of this project to the community are: (i) Increased efficiency of Blast Furnace operations, resulting in cheaper production of iron in an increasingly globally competitive industry, supporting the Australian steel industry and domestic market. And (ii) the potential to impact on process fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel sources providing a cleaner source of iron for steel production.
