“…5,6) The effect of ash on CO 2 gasification, [7][8][9][10] the order of catalytic activity and the mechanism of catalytic reaction of the alkaline metals such as Na and K, [11][12][13] Li, 14) the alkaline earth metals 17) such as Ca 12,15,16) and Ba, 11) the transition metals such as Fe, 11,18,19) Ni 11,20) have been thoroughly and extensively studied. On the other hand, there are relatively few quantitative data concerning the reactivity of blast furnace coke containing these catalysts in the condition of the thermal reserve zone in a blast furnace, i.e.…”
