  • Patent number: 11493273
    Abstract: A method for measuring the softening and melting performances of iron ore in blast furnace is disclosed, which is implemented by a device including a high temperature furnace, gas supply system, a loading system and a weighing system. The method includes: step 1: the dried coke and iron ore specimen are placed in the graphite crucible in a specified way; step 2: the graphite crucible is placed in the high temperature furnace, and N2 is continuously fed into the high temperature furnace to reach an airtightness requirement; step 3: a vacuum pump is used to extract mixed gas in a hearth of the high temperature furnace and heating process is started; step 4: both the composition of mixed gas and pressure imposed on the iron ore are controlled according to the designed temperature variation; step 5: data are acquired to calculate.

  • Patent number: 6586638
    Abstract: There is provided a process for removing and recovering one or more unassociated phenolic compounds dissolved in aqueous fluid, the process comprising the steps of: (a) transferring the one or more unassociated phenolic compounds from the aqueous fluid to an alkaline stripping solution, wherein transfer of the one or more unassociated phenolic compounds from the aqueous fluid to the alkaline stripping solution occurs across a membrane; wherein the membrane is a non porous, selectively permeable membrane; (b) regulating the volume of alkaline stripping solution employed relative to the volume of aqueous fluid treated so that the total phenolic compound concentration in the alkaline stripping solution, comprising the sum of the dissociated and unassociated phenolic compound concentrations, is above the solubility of the phenolic compounds in the acidified stripping solution of step (d); (c) regulating the pH of the alkaline stripping solution in contact with the membrane to a value at least 0.
