Stiff Extrusion Briquetting in Metallurgy


Book Description

This book explains how the specifics of Stiff Extrusion influence on the metallurgical properties of Extruded Briquettes. The practical experience of the utilization of Stiff Extrusion in metallurgy obtained so far suggests that this technology can substitute (partially or by 100%) environmentally unfriendly sintering. The authors start reviewing the existing briquetting technologies, providing the reader later on with the specifics of stiff extrusion briquetting technology. Other aspects treated are the applications of extruded briquettes on blast furnace and for the production of manganese ferro alloys. The authors suggest stuff extrusion briquetting technology for direct reduction iron production and list several alternative unconventional applications.




Briquetting in Metallurgy


Book Description

In the arsenal of ways of carbon consumption and emissions reduction, the main tasks of modern metallurgy, briquetting occupies significant places. Today, briquetting is a cost-effective, industrially mastered technology capable to process natural and anthropogenic materials without their preliminary high-temperature treatment. The book summarizes the scientific research and the practice of briquettes use for the smelting of cast iron, steel, ferroalloys and the production of direct reduced iron. Comparison with sintering and pelletization is given. Particular attention is paid to debunking the myths about briquetting, which are firmly rooted in the minds of metallurgists.




Agglomeration in Metallurgy


Book Description

This book gives details on the processes of agglomeration and its role in modern metal production processes. It starts with a chapter on sinter production, also discussing the quality of sinter and environmental aspects involved on the process. The following chapters focus on pellet production and briquetting of natural and anthropogenic raw materials. It also highlights the best available technologies for briquetting by stiff extrusion.

Mechanics Of Fluid Deformations: Rigid Body Rotations And Plane Channel Flow Stability


Book Description

This book covers a new approach to analyzing hydrodynamic stability.With the use of standard remedies of functional analysis, theory of boundary value problems and infinitesimal Lie algebras, it is shown in the book that large vortex mushrooms of an ideal incompressible fluid in a vertical strip behind a water hammer proves to be 2D (plane-parallel) nonlinear (for arbitrary disturbances of initial velocities) and long wave stable. It is one of the many examples provided in the book discussing hydrodynamic stability.
