• Conceptual Tapping Model of Mn-Ferroalloy Furnaces 

      Tangstad, Merete; Olsen, Jan Erik; Ringdalen, Eli; Ksiazek, Michal Tomasz; Reynolds, Quinn; Steenkamp, Joalet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The tapping process of submerged arc furnaces, like the Mn-ferroalloy production process, is when you drain the liquid metal and slag from the furnace. The optimal tapping process is when slag and metal is drained from the ...
    • A Study on Bio-Coke Production—The Influence of Bio-Components Addition on Coke-Making Blend Properties 

      Rejdak, Michał; Wojtaszek-Kalaitzidi, Małgorzata; Gałko, Grzegorz; Mertas, Bartosz; Radko, Tomasz; Baron, Robert; Ksiazek, Michal Tomasz; Larsen, Sten Yngve; Sajdak, Marcin; Kalaitzidis, Stavros (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Due to global warming, technologies reducing CO2 emissions in the metallurgical industry are being sought. One possibility is to use bio-coke as a substitute for classic coke made of 100% fossil coal. Bio-coke can be ...
    • Tapping Gas from the Silicon Submerged Arc Furnace: An Industrial Measurement Campaign 

      Andersen, Vegar; Gaertner, Heiko; Grådahl, Svend; Ksiazek, Michal Tomasz; Einarsrud, Kristian Etienne; Tranell, Gabriella (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Producing high-silicon alloys in submerged arc furnaces (SAF) involves the generation of an intermediate process gas, consisting of silicon monoxide (SiO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Combustion of process gas from the taphole ...
