Hydrogasdynamic Regularities of Melt Blowing in “Ausmelt” Furnace by Cold Modeling Methods

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

This work aimed to develop the cold modeling method of melt blowing in an “Ausmelt” top submerged lance (TSL) furnace for further optimization of the working conditions of the complex to decrease copper losses with slags and increase process productivity.
