    For the application of the mechanical stirring method currently used in KR process to the new refining processes, the effect of baffles on the mixing of bath liquid and solid particles was investigated using a water model. The baffle whose width is 1/10 of the vessel diameter was enough to enhance the liquid-particles mixing. The LDV measurement showed the formation of the unsteady vertical flow by the baffle. The same effect on the mixing was observed by injecting gas from the bottom into the mechanically stirred vessel.

  • The dissolution rate of solid lime into molten slag used for hot-metal dephosphorization

    T Hamano, M Horibe, K Ito

    ISIJ INTERNATIONAL   44 ( 2 ) 263 - 267  2004  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Highly efficient dissolution of CaO into melt has an important role in reducing the amount of steelmaking slag produced in the hot-metal dephosphorization process because the existence of free-CaO in the melt prevents reuse of the slag. There are numerous studies related to the rate of CaO dissolution, however, in many cases the experimental conditions have been limited. The present work measured the dissolution rate of CaO into several kinds of slags: FetO-CaO-SiO2-X (X,- CaF2, CaCl2, Al2O3 and B2O3) systems at hot-metal temperatures. To apply the results to practical operations, the efficiency of additives in dissolving CaO in the melts was compared using "the enhancement factor" based on the results.

    Yasushi Okabe, Isao Tajima, Kimihisa Ito

    Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B   29 ( 1 ) 131 - 136  1998.02

    　View Summary

    The distribution ratio of chromium between a CaO-SiO2-CaF2 slag and liquid silver under the oxygen partial pressure used in practical hot-metal dephosphorization treatment was measured at 1623 K. The distribution ratio was minimal when the basicity index of a slag, wt pct CaO/wt pct SiO2, was about 2. The redox equilibrium between CrO (Cr2+) and CrO1.5 (Cr3+) in the slag was also measured as a function of slag composition. The calculated activity coefficient of CrO had a maximum value at wt pct CaO/wt pct SiO2=2, whereas that of CrO1.5 decreased monotonously with the increase in slag basicity.

    　View Summary

    The behavior of a single bubble was observed and the complete mixing time was measured under reduced pressure (∼1.33×102Pa (1 Torr)) using a silicon oil model. The bubble expanded greatly and changed from oval to a spherical-cup shape. The complete mixing time tended to be constant independent of the stirring power of gas per unit bath volume in the low vessel pressure range (<6.66×102Pa), because most of the expansion energy was dissipated and the mixing occurred near the bath surface; this was confirmed by observation of the flow.

    The behavior of bubbles in a vessel under reduced pressure was observed and the volumetric mass transfer coefficient was measured using a water model. The average diameter of the bubbles immediately after breaking away from the orifice increased with increasing gas flow rate corrected by the pressure at the orifice. An empirical equation for the volumetric mass transfer coefficients under normal and reduced pressures was developed, which can represent previous work using a water model.

    　View Summary

    Application of a gas lift pump to a molten metal system was evaluated by determining the effects of liquid properties on the pump's transportation characteristics using a water bath, a glycerol solution bath, and a Wood's metal bath. The flow in the gas lift pipe was in a "slug flow" regime when the pump was working. The critical gas flow rate, which is defined as the lowest gas flow rate required to transport the liquid, decreased with increase in the submergence and with decrease in pipe diameter in all systems. The density of the liquid strongly affected the lifted liquid volume whereas the viscosity had little influence on it. The empirical equation to predict the transportation of molten metal was derived using the slug flow model based on the corrected Nicklin's equation. The model was able to reproduce the critical gas flow retes obtained by the experiment.

  • The grand partition function of dilute biregular solutions

    Kimihisa Ito, Meguru Nagamori, Motonori Tokuda

    Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B   25   703 - 711  1994.10

    　View Summary

    It has been demonstrated that the grand partition function (GPF) of biregular solutions contains in one single equation such thermodynamic principles as Henry's law, Raoult's law, the Gibbs-Duhem relation, Raoultian activity coefficients and their finite power series, Wagner's rec-iprocity, Schenck-Frohberg-Steinmetz's interchange, Lupis-Elliott's additivity, Mori-Morooka's disparity, and Darken's quadratic formalism. The logarithm of the Raoultian activity coefficient of species i, In γi should not be expressed by the Taylor series expansion, lest its truncation infringe the Gibbs-Duhem equation. The GPF methodology establishes that In γi, is not a vector but a scalar point function, free from any path dependence. While Darken's quadratic formalism employs three parameters to describe a ternary solution, the present biregularity approximation offers an alternative using seven empirical parameters, in case better accuracy is needed.

  • Study on the foaming of CaO-SiO2-FeO slags: Part I. Foaming parameters and experimental results

    Kimihisa Ito, R. J. Fruehan

    Metallurgical Transactions B   20 ( 4 ) 509 - 514  1989.08

    　View Summary

    In order to understand the effect of slag composition on foaming in iron and steelmaking processes, slag foaming was quantitatively studied for CaO-SiO2-FeO slags in the temperature range of 1250 °C to 1400 °C. It was found that slag foaming could be characterized by a foaming index (Σ), which is equal to the retention or traveling time of the gas in the slag, and the average foam life ( τ). The effects of P2O5, S, MgO, and CaF2 on foaming were studied. As expected, slag foaming increased with increasing viscosity and decreasing surface tension. It was found that suspended second-phase solid particles such as CaO, 2CaO SiO2, and MgO stabilized the foam and had a larger effect on foaming than changes in viscosity and surface tension for the slags studied.

  • Study on the foaming of CaO-SiO2-FeO slags: Part II. Dimensional analysis and foaming in iron and steelmaking processes

    Kimihisa Ito, R. J. Fruehan

    Metallurgical Transactions B   20 ( 4 ) 515 - 521  1989.08

    　View Summary

    An empirical equation for the foaming index Σ of a CaO-SiO2-FeO slag was obtained by dimensional analysis. The effect of second-phase particles on slag foaming was well described by calculating the viscosity of the mixture using the modified Einstein equation. The anticipated foaming in basic oxygen furnace (BOF), electric arc furnace (EAF), and bath-smelting processes was estimated using the parameter Σ for various operating conditions and slag compositions. For BOF operations, it is predicted that foaming is most extreme in the middle of the blow, and a stable foam in EAF is achieved with less basic slags with low FeO contents. For bath smelting, foam heights of 5 m are possible, and a higher degree of prereduction prior to smelting will reduce foaming (because of smaller gas evolution) and possibly increase production rates. Running the process at a higher pressure will also reduce foam heights, because the volume of gas generated is less.

    　View Summary

    A particle method based on the GENERIC formalism which is a theoretical framework for non-equilibrium thermodynamics has been studied. Indeed, a particle method based on the Poisson bracket defined on the state space of the Eulerian description of fluid flow has been developed and some numerical experiments have been done. In addition, the two-dimensional vorticity equation has been formulated within the GENERIC formalism and discretized using the discrete variational derivative method. The thus-obtained numerical method preserves or dissipates the kinetic energy and enstrophy depending on whether the flow is inviscid or viscid

    　View Summary

    The synthesis process of C60 using extended arc was developed in this research. The arc was stabilized and extended by injecting helium gas with relatively high flow rate, which was larger than those used in the conventional fullerene production process by an order of magnitude. The analytical method of C60 and C70 was refined and the concentrations of them were precisely determined. The collector was separated into four parts and the collection efficiency was measured in the experiment. The production ratio of C70 to C60 was 20-50%, which was higher than the reported value (about 10%). The flow pattern of gas and the temperature distribution in the reactor was numerically calculated by a computer simulation. The result shows that the CO-axial gas injection enhances the deposition of graphite on the cathode and the vortex is generated at the lower part of the collector.The usage of the liquid organic compounds as the source of fullerenes was tested using the same equipment. However, the steady arc was not obtained in all the runs, which suggests that the much larger current capacity is needed for this purpose

  • 超臨界水を用いた希土類酸化物超微粒子および薄膜の製造

    　View Summary

    超臨界状態の水を用いた素材製造プロセスの一例として、希土類化合物の超微粒子・薄膜の製造に関する研究を行なった。まず、製造条件を明らかにするために、超臨界状態の水を高密度のガスと見なし、希土類化合物が超臨界状態の水中に蒸発し、水分子を配位して分子状で溶ける溶解モデルを考えた。超臨界流体中における希土類化合物の溶解度を状態方程式を用い熱力学モデルにおいて、相互作用パラメ-タa_<12>を用いて比較的良く実験結果を再現することができた。さらにこの熱力学モデルをシリカに関して適用した結果、モデルの有効性が確認された。次いで、水酸化ランタンが溶解している超臨界溶液をノズルを通して急速膨張させることにより超微粒子を生成させた。この粉末は加熱によって、容易に酸化物となる。生成粒子の平均粒径は、ノズル径には依存せずに、圧力の増加に伴い大きくなった。これは、超臨界溶液中の溶質濃度が増加するためと考えられる。超臨界溶液の急速膨張による溶質の析出機構を考察した結果、急速膨張による等エントロピ-領域での状態量は急激な減少によって、水滴核が形成することが推測された。このため溶媒(水滴)の溶解力が急激に低下して、溶媒中の溶質が過飽和状態になり、水酸化ランタンの不均一核生成が起こると考えられる。急速膨張プロセスでは、液滴の生成が溶質の析出よりも早いため、薄膜を作ることはできなかった。また、超臨界水中での薄膜生成速度の推定計算を行なった結果、溶解度を大きく増加させるエントレイナ-の使用が必要であろうとの結論に達した

  • 製鉄プロセスにおける未利用顕熱回収プロセス構築のための非Newton熱流体シミュレータの開発

    2018  

    　View Summary

    鉄鋼産業のCO2排出量は我が国全体の13%を占めている。この大量のCO2削減のため、高温のエネルギーを持つ製鋼スラグからの顕熱回収プロセスの開発は重要である。プロセスの最大の問題は、凝固の進行に伴う固相率の増加によって非ニュートン流体の挙動を示す製鋼スラグの流動性予測とその制御である。本研究では自由界面の変形予測に適したSPH（Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics）法に擬塑性流体およびビンガム流体の粘性モデルを導入した流体シミュレータを開発し、スラグ－冷却ロール間の界面熱抵抗を考慮した伝熱プログラムを連成することで、プロセスシミュレータを完成させ、パイロットスケールでの試験結果と良い一致を見た。
