The Fundamentals of Liquid Flow Through A Reactive Packed Bed

对高炉下部区域液体和焦炭之间发生的反应的新的和改进的理解将使炼铁过程优化，并导致碳使用量的显着减少。这将减少温室气体的排放量。结果将有利于金属精炼厂和相关的支持工业，在他们的过程中使用煤炭或焦炭。流程优化还有助于确保澳大利亚至关重要的钢铁行业保持国际竞争力，能够为国内和出口市场提供优质钢铁，并为成千上万的澳大利亚人提供就业机会。

A new and improved understanding of reactions that occur between liquids and coke in the lower zone of the blast furnace will enable ironmaking process optimization, and result in a significant reduction in carbon usage. This will decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The results will benefit metal refiners and associated support industries that utilize coal or coke in their process. Process optimization also helps to ensure that Australia's vitally important steel industry remains internationally competitive, able to provide both quality steel for domestic and export markets and employment for thousands of Australians.
