This paper describes the production and use of coal-oil mixture as a blast furnace auxiliary fuel. The design features of the COM plant, its operation, the COM injection circuit and the properties of COM produced and injected into the blast furnace are considered. The metallurgical effect of COM injection on blast furnace operation and the economic viability of COM as a blast furnace fuel are discussed. The trial showed that COM can replace fuel oil as a blast furnace auxiliary fuel and reduce fuel oil consumption by about 40%. The economic viability of COM production and injection into a blast furnace is mainly a function of price and availability of coal, fuel oil and coke. 8 references.
