Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking is a widely used method for steelmaking production, and the bath stirring has a significant influence on dynamics of bath flow and mixing. Therefore, the effect of bottom gas flowrate, nozzle number and configuration, and bottom gas distribution mode on bath stirring are summarized in this study. Reasonable matching of bottom gas flowrate, nozzle number and configuration, as well as intensive study on the coupling effect of gas flowrate gradient and exchange frequency on non-uniform stirring would receive more and more attention in the coming years. With wide concern on the low-carbon and high-efficient production for BOF steelmaking, as a kind of recyclable iron-containing resource, the rapid melting and reasonable utilization of scrap in converter bath were emphasized in recent works, which could be promoted with high-efficient bottom stirring. The effect of bottom stirring on heat and mass transfer during scrap melting process was reviewed in this work, and the influence mechanism of bottom stirring on coupled heat and mass transfer should be further investigated. In addition, an overview of recently published physical and numerical simulation describing the bottom stirring and its effect on scrap melting would provide an outlook for future work.

Introduction. The requirements for the working conditions of metallurgical industry have been becoming stricter, both in terms of increasing the process indicators and in terms of environmental friendliness of processes.Problem Statement. The main controlling factor of the oxygen-converter process is the oxygen jet supplied through the nozzles of the top lance. The main task of the process is the active mixing for refi ning and the provision of conditions for the postcombustion of CO to СО2 in off -gases to additionally increase the heat content of the bath in order to enable increasing scrap processing, which improves the environmental friendliness of the process. In electrometallurgy, to solve the problem of deep mixing, it has been proposed to use nozzles of the coherent type (like a cylinder in a cylinder, through which oxidizing and protective gases are supplied).Purpose. To study and to establish the features of using nozzles of the coherent type for the conditions of top oxygen purging in the converter.Materials and Methods. Samples of laboratory nozzles of the coherent type, which diff er in the ratio of the central and peripheral parts (75, 50, 25%) with respect to the force of the jet, have been studied with the use of a modifi ed liquid manometer; by two-phase cold modeling; by evaluating the degree of afterburning of CO-containing gases in comparison with the performance parameters of an equivalent cylindrical nozzle.Results. It has been established that the force with which the jet fl owing out of the nozzle acts on the liquid is signifi cantly less when that in the case of coherent type nozzles and decreases as the share of the peripheral part of the nozzle increases. According to the results of two-phase cold modeling, it has been noted that the use of coherent type nozzles contributes to the active formation of a foamed emulsion and increases the activity of mixing two-phase liquids during top blowing. The use of the coherent-type nozzles with a peripheral part of 75% increases the postcombustion of CO-containing gases by 42.36%.Conclusions. According to the obtained results, it is possible to recommend the use of nozzles of the coherent type to replace the cylindrical nozzles of oxygen lances, which perform the function of additional sources of infl uence on the bath and for the oxidation of CO in the waste gases.
The urgent task for oxygen converter process is the improvement of environmental indicators due to the reduction of emissions of carbon oxides into the atmosphere. It is possible due to the reduction of iron consumption and the increase of the possibility of processing scrap metal. For this, it is necessary to increase the heat content of the bath that is possible due to the use of top lances equipped with special nozzles. The article presents the results of research and analysis of the use of composite nozzles of the coherent type for this purpose. Such nozzles are the nozzles for supplying oxygen, consisting of a central nozzle and an annular peripheral nozzle surrounding it. Conducted physical and analytical studies of the features of the outflow of gas jets from compound nozzles of a coherent type of different designs (with the size of the peripheral part from 0.07 to 0.47 calibers of the central nozzle) under the conditions of 2M blowing made it possible to establish that the compound design under certain conditions can add additional obstacles and limitations of the development of the central jet (with a width of the peripheral part of 0.07 - 0.17 calibers), or to provide additional impulse with a larger width of the peripheral part. This is connected with the peculiarities of the formation of the jet in the initial area of development. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the geometric arrangement of the central and peripheral parts relative to each other to obtain the required result of forming a complex jet with specified properties. According to the results of an analytical study of the dependence of the weight of the jet flowing out of composite nozzles of the coherent type, a mathematical expression was established for calculating the energy consumption coefficient of the jet when passing through the nozzle and an expression for calculating the weight of the jet as a necessary indicator of the momentum responsible for its power and penetrating properties. Use of established expressions make it is possible to predict the characteristics of the studied composite nozzle of the coherent type based on its geometric design and pressure indicators.
