Among numerous measures to accelerate the PC conversion within the blast furnace (BF) raceway, local increase of oxygen concentration is the most common one. On the other hand, the presence of cold media (oxygen) in the vicinity of the coal stream might affect its ignition and combustion negatively. A minor amount of coke oven gas (COG) may increase the temperature and consequently accelerate the coal conversion. To examine this effect, laboratory trials under blast furnace simulating conditions were performed using the Multifunctional Injection Rig for Ironmaking (MIRI). The results of the simulation testified a higher conversion degree of coal while adding the COG. The temperature increase is measurable in the reaction chamber and the off-gas stream. Optical microscopy of the original PC particles and residues after reaction confirm the findings of the off-gas analysis and the increase in temperature during the experiments with addition of COG. The thermogravimetric analysis was applied to determine and to compare the behaviour of coal in different atmospheres including an atmosphere with COG. A stand at one tuyère at a modern BF was erected and tests were performed targeting the observation of the ignition behaviour of coal at different COG rates, using a camera image analysis system. Laboratory trials under blast furnace raceway simulating conditions showed, that even a small amount of COG significantly improves the PC conversion degree. A new technology of PC injection, including addition of small amount of COG to the PC transporting gas, aimed at neutralization of the oxygen local cooling effect, elaborated, justified and tested.

The performance of Ni/SiO2 Catalysts modified by La2O3, ZrO2 and CeO2 were tested in a BaCo0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3-δ (BCFNO) membrane reactor by catalytic partial oxidation of coke oven gas (COG) under atmospheric pressure. The results show that the oxygen permeation flux increased dramatically with Ni/RxOy/SiO2 (R = La, Zr or Ce) catalysts by adding the element of rare earth especially the La during the reforming reaction. At optimized reaction conditions, the dense oxygen permeable membrane had an oxygen permeation flux around 16.4 ml/cm2•min and a CH4 conversion of 99.2% have been achieved at 900 oC.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of coke oven gas (COG)-combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system and to mainly focus on studying the influence of the environmental conditions, operating conditions and gas conditions on the performance of the system and on quantifying the distribution of useful energy loss and the saving potential of the integrated system changing with different parameters.Design/methodology/approachThe working process of COG-CCHP was simulated through the establishment of system flow and thermal analysis mathematical model. Using exergy analysis method, the COG-CCHP system’s energy consumption status and the performance changing rules were analyzed.FindingsThe results showed that the combustion chamber has the largest exergy loss among the thermal equipments. Reducing the environmental temperature and pressure can improve the entire system’s reasonable degree of energy. Higher temperature and pressure improved the system’s perfection degree of energy use. Relatively high level of hydrogen and low content of water in COG and an optimal range of CH4volume fraction between 35 per cent and 46 per cent are required to ensure high exergy efficiency of this integration system.Originality/valueThis paper proposed a CCHP system with the utilization of coke oven gas (COG) and quantified the distribution of useful energy loss and the saving potential of the integrated system under different environmental, operating and gas conditions. The weak links of energy consumption within the system were analyzed, and the characteristics of COG in this way of using were illustrated. This study can provide certain guiding basis for further research and development of the CCHP system performance.
