Furnace tap-holes vary in design depending on the type of furnace and process involved, but share one common trait: the tap-hole must be opened and closed periodically. In general tap-holes are plugged with refractory clay ...

The Holland-Batt spline is well known when it comes to plotting spiral separation performance. The spline, which consists of a linear curve and power curve, has been successfully used to fit test work data that is presented ...

A new accelerator algorithm was developed based on phase diagram geometry to include large number of equilibrium calculations into process and multiphysics models more efficiently. These models require thermochemical ...

Stable operation of submerged-arc furnaces producing high-carbon ferromanganese (HCFeMn) and silicomanganese (SiMn) requires tapping of consistent amounts of liquid slag and metal. Minimal effort to initiate and sustain ...

In this study, the iron-titanium-vanadium-oxygen (Fe-Ti-V-O) system in equilibrium with air was studied experimentally by high-temperature equilibration, quenching, scanning electron microscope and microprobe analysis ...

The Ti-V-O system was studied experimentally from 700 °C to 1500 °C by high-temperature equilibration, quenching, scanning electron microscope and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy. The solubility of titanium in the ...

Applications and reports of unique properties displayed by layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are steadily increasing. Fundamental insight into LDH synthesis is essential to developing sustainable production processes, and ...
