Influence of cohesive zone shape on solid flow in COREX melter gasifier by discrete element method

Discrete Particle Simulation of Solid Flow in a Large-Scale Reduction Shaft Furnace with Center Gas Supply Device

“…blast furnace [10][11][12][13][14][15] and smelting reduction process such as COREX and FINEX. [16][17][18][19][20] The detailed micro-dynamic information of individual particles such as particle velocity and interaction forces between particles can be obtained by DEM. They are beneficial for understanding the flow of burden materials in various ironmaking process.…”

Experimental Study of the Effects of Operation Conditions on Burden Distribution in the COREX Melter Gasifier

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Several numerical studies on the COREX MG were conducted. Li et al 22) developed a model based on the discrete element method (DEM) to analyse the particle trajectory, falling location and burden surface profile.…”

DEM Study of Solid Flow in COREX Shaft Furnace with Areal Gas Distribution Beams

“…That is, the transient features of solids are crucial in the COREX process. [6][7][8][9][10] Recently, a new technique, so-called Areal Gas Distribution (AGD), has been proposed and tested in the shaft furnace of COREX. In the tentative design, two AGD beams are installed.…”
