In this paper, a new concept of a heat recovery system from blast furnace (BF) slag was proposed, which would generate bio-oil and combustible gas, and a direct contacting continuous operational pyrolysis reactor was designed to evaluate the feasibility. In addition, the influences of...

This paper presents a novel ironmaking technology using biomass and iron oxide. The biomass instead of coke was mixed together with iron ore powder, water, limestone and bentonite for the production of Fe2O3 briquettes. The sintering process and direct reduction of briquettes were simultaneously...

We develop a distribution regression model under endogenous sample selection. This model is a semiparametric generalization of the Heckman selection model that accommodates much rich patterns of heterogeneity in the selection process and effect of the covariates. The model applies to continuous,...

We develop a distribution regression model under endogenous sample selection. This model is a semi-parametric generalization of the Heckman selection model. It accommodates much richer effects of the covariates on outcome distribution and patterns of heterogeneity in the selection process, and...

Waste heat recovery is a key problem for metallurgical slag. The heat source acquisition is current bottleneck for sewage sludge gasification technology. By using the waste heat of slag, granulation and waste heat recovery technology system is proposed. The sludge gasification kinetics were...

In order to improve fuel quality of biomass, a novel biomass crushing system was presented. In this paper there were different biomasses, namely pine chips, corn stalk and cotton stalk, chosen for size reduction study. The production process was described and physical characteristics (particle...
