To develop recommendations on the cleaning of process gases to satisfy health standards, the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine conducted studies of dust and gas emissions from two 400-ton open-hearth furnaces operated by the ore-and-scrap process with subsurface and combination blowing of the bath by oxygen. Oxygen was injected through the combination lateral burners into the flame during cold-charging and heating. Different variants of overhead and subsurface injection lances were evaluated. The results show that the traditional types of gas cleaning (high-pressure Venturi tubes, electrostatic precipitators) can be used with the introduction of the proposed methods of intensifying open-hearth steelmaking with oxygen.
