Reduction of CO2 emissions in the steel industry is an important global challenge, especially in the field of ironmaking, as strong trends are foreseen towards reducing blast furnace operations. In the ironmaking process, a low carbon operation is linked to this problem, and reducing the coke rate, which accounts for the larger amount of carbon input, is necessary. However, as a shift to a low coke rate operation will also reduce the amount of coke available to secure gas permeability, significant changes in the blast furnace’s gas flow behavior will occur. In particular, as the gas flow permeability in the melting zone differs considerably from that in the lumpy zone, controlling this region has a large influence on the gas flow. Thus, an accurate understanding of the melt behavior characteristics is vital for the construction of a low carbon blast furnace.1) Blast furnaces have both a cross (gas flow is perpendicular to the liquid flow) and counter-current (the gas and liquid flow are in opposing directions) flow conditions, shown in Fig. 1. The solids form a packed bed, while a two-phase solid-gas system exists in the upper furnace, and a threephase solid-gas-liquid system exists in the lower furnace. The liquid phase movement in the bottom furnace showed that the slag and molten iron formed in the cohesive zone and drip through a coke-packed bed to reach the furnace hearth. The flow of the liquid phase in this process is recCharacterization of Liquid Trickle Flow in Poor-Wetting Packed Bed
