Advanced Processes in Metallurgical Technologies, 2nd Volume

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this collection of articles is to identify changes leading to the development of metallurgy and materials engineering, taking into account a multidisciplinary approach, i.e., environmental protection issues, including the decarbonization of processes, the elimination of generated waste, the possibilities of their disposal and energy saving. Currently, the production of metals is a very important problem, considering their high prices and huge demand. This problem should be considered in two ways, taking into account the economics of the process, i.e., the development of technologies that consume less energy, as well as ecological aspects, i.e., the development of technologies that emit less pollution and at the same time promote green technologies. The purpose of this collection of articles is to contribute to progress in the field of metallurgy and engineering materials. We invite researchers from these and other fields to publish interesting articles on this topic in order to integrate interdisciplinary research combining experimental and theoretical contributions. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Science and technology of materials;
• Metals recovery from waste;
• Energy-saving processes;
• Physics and numerical modeling;
• Advanced metallurgical technologies;
• Reduction of pollutant emissions;
• Decarbonization of the metallurgical industry;
• Innovations in metallurgical processes;
• Modern methods of analysis and quality control in metallurgy;
• The use of new materials in metallurgical processes;
• Industry 4.0 in metallurgical enterprises;
• New directions in the design of metal alloys;
• Numerical simulation.

This article analyses the possibility of using hydrogen as fuel in furnaces used in the metallurgical industry. The research was conducted for a selected continuous furnace. For this purpose, based on actual measurements, a heat balance of the furnace was prepared to determine its energy indicators. These values were used to verify the developed numerical model in IPSEpro 7.0 software. Numerical calculations were performed for three variants: pure natural gas; 30% hydrogen, 70% natural gas; and 100% hydrogen. The determined values of gas and combustion air streams allowed for achieving the assumed charge temperature in the heating technology. Calculations of the impact of the excess combustion air ratio on process parameters were also carried out. It was found that no changes are required in the exhaust gas removal system, but verification of the fan supplying air to cool the exhaust gases before the recuperator is necessary. The amount of hydrogen required to fuel the continuous furnace also increases significantly (nearly threefold), which may also affect operating costs. At the same time, the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is completely reduced, which may be an important criterion when considering modernization options for heating furnaces in the metallurgical industry.
