  • Patent number: 4378205
    Abstract: Process and apparatus for firing a furnace using oxygen or oxygen-enriched air as the oxidant gas, comprising injection into the furnace of a plurality of oxidant jets, through nozzles, in a spaced relationship to a fuel jet, at a velocity sufficient to cause aspiration of furnace gases into the oxidant jets before the latter mix with the fuel jet, in amounts sufficient to lower flame temperature.

  • Patent number: 4373949
    Abstract: A method for increasing the life of the refractory lining of a basic-refractory-lined vessel for the production of steel by blowing oxygen into a ferrous melt from above the surface of the melt, comprising:(a) introducing into the vessel slag forming ingredients, including dolomitic lime, such that the amount of dolomitic lime exceeds the amount normally used, and(b) introducing inert gas into the melt in such manner as to cause intensive interaction between the slag and the melt.The preferred inert gas is argon.
