refimprove date April 2011 mergeto Blast furnace date April 2011 Titanium rich scaffold formation is a technical measure used in the blast furnace in order to protect the refractory furnace lining material from erosion by depositing a protection layer over it. It is particularly used to protect the refractory of the blast furnace hearth , located at the bottom of the blast furnace where droplets of melted iron accumulates. The operation is conducted by inserting Ti ore either by injecting it through one or more tuyere s one of 20 or more pipe openings introducing hot gas into the furnace as a powder, or by adding it to the ore together with coke fuel coke and iron ore from the furnace top. Mechanism The titania TiOx reaches the slag phase where it reduces to titanium . This titanium will enter the liquid iron phase which will then be carried along the flow of the liquid iron toward the eroded portions of the hearth refractory. Due to the change of the carbon concentration and the temperature at eroded regions of the hearth, the solubility of Ti in liquid iron will reduce, causing Ti to react with carbon and nitrogen in the liquid. Titanium carbide and titanium nitride solid particles form, which are thought to deposit on the eroded portions of the hearth refractory, forming a protection layer. ref http www.simpas.unsw.edu.au publications 2010 A 20model 20to 20simulate 20Titanium 20behaviour 20in 20the 20iron 20blast 20furnace 20hearth.pdf Bao Yu Guo et al, A Model to Simulate Titanium Behavior in the Iron Blast Furnace Hearth , DOI 10,1007 s11663 010 9384 2, 2010 The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society and ASM International 2010 ref References references Category Steelmaking material stub ... more details
