Abstract

The average residence time, metal circulation rates and percentage tap weights of metal suspended in the emulsion of a Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) are calculated under defined assumptions. Data has been taken from the IMPHOS (Improved Phosphorus Refining) project in which a 6 tonne BOF was simultaneously sampled at selected depths and at selected times under controlled operating conditions.¹⁾ A discussion is given on the formation of the model and as to the diversion from previously reported findings from this data.²⁾ Links have been made between the macroscopic parameters calculated and the chemical refining performance seen through the heats. X-ray computer tomography has given information on droplet size and numbers in the emulsion. With the data used to validate the proposed model.
