X-ray tomographic analysis and modelling of metallurgical coke

该项目将应用三维X射线微层析成像和基于模型的计算分析，以开发冶金焦炭微观结构表征的创新方法。这对钢铁行业具有重大影响，因为焦炭特性对提高高炉生产率至关重要。该项目将提供新的焦炭微观结构量化指标，开发模拟微观结构特性和焦炭运输特性的模型，并在3D环境中检查焦炭的反应性。该项目也将是第一个使用多尺度3D X射线层析分析来检查焦炭在生产和高炉使用期间的结构动力学的研究。

This project will apply 3D X-ray micro-tomography and model-based computational analysis to develop innovative approaches to the micro-structural characterisation of metallurgical coke. This has significant ramifications for the iron industry since coke characterisation is of primary importance to improved blast furnace productivity. The project will deliver new quantitative indices of coke microstructure, develop models for simulation of micro-structural properties and coke transport properties, and examine coke reactivity in 3D contexts. This project will also be the first study to use multi-scale 3D X-ray tomographic analysis to examine the structural dynamics of coke during both its production and its use in the blast furnace.
