The erosion of the blast furnace hearth has become one of the key factors affecting the life of the blast furnace, because of the limited on-line monitoring and control means in the blast furnace hearth area, the burn-through accidents of the blast furnace hearth and bottom occur occasionally. In this work, based on the self-built platform of heat flow regulation, the control mechanism of the high melting phases of TiC is studied. The on-line control mechanism of the hearth erosion by adding titanium-containing materials was discussed. There are three steps for the on-line control of iromaking using titanium-containing materials in blast furnace. Firstly, Ti(C, N) precipitated from the molten iron due to the decrease of temperature in the erosion zone of the hearth. Secondly, the viscosity of the molten iron increased with the precipitation of Ti(C, N) in the erosional cryogenic zone and temperature further decreasing. Finally, the protective layer, included pig iron matrix and Ti(C, N) solid fulcrum, formed because of the solidification of the molten iron. The protective layer can replace the corroded lining of the blast furnace to prevent its hearth from being eroded.

Monitoring and control of the blast furnace hearth is critical to achieve the required production levels and adequate process operation, as well as to extend the campaign length. Because of the complexity of the draining, the outflows of iron and slag may progress in different ways during tapping in large blast furnaces. To categorize the hearth draining behavior, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to two extensive sets of process data from an operating blast furnace with three tapholes in order to develop an interpretation of the outflow patterns. Representing the complex outflow patterns in low dimensions made it possible to study and illustrate the time evolution of the drainage, as well as to detect similarities and differences in the performance of the tapholes. The model was used to explain the observations of other variables and factors that are known to be affected by, or affect, the state of the hearth, such as stoppages, liquid levels, and tap duration.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.

The design and control of blast furnace (BF) ironmaking must be optimized in order to be competitive and sustainable, particularly under the more and more demanding and tough economic and environmental conditions. To achieve this, it is necessary to understand the complex multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer, and global performance of a BF. In this paper injection of alternative reducing agents via lances in the tubers of blast furnaces is discussed to reduce the consumption of metallurgical coke. Besides liquid hydrocarbons and pulverized coal the injection of recycled waste plastics is possible, offering the opportunity to chemically reuse waste material and also utilize the energy contained in such remnants.
