Abstract
This chapter deals with possibilities of mathematical modeling of blast furnace operation. This chapter summarizes various attitudes for evaluation of blast furnace operation. The chapter is aimed at modeling of kinetics of reduction processes. It presents a methodology developed at VŠB—Technical University of Ostrava—for interpreting of laboratory tests carried out according to international standards such as ISO 4695:2007. The designed model uses laboratory test results as inputs for mathematical simulation of the material processing in blast furnace aggregate. The model calculates kinetic constants of changes in iron oxides concentration during nondirect reduction and estimates coke consumption for it. It presents simulation of reduction gas consumption regarding the ratio of direct reduction in time. It carries out simulation for one-component and two-component blast furnace feedstock to find easily the optimum of production process.
