Abstract: A top-blowing lance nozzle is configured to freely switch an adequate expansion condition so as to control an oxygen-blowing amount and a jetting velocity independently of each other without requiring a plurality of lance nozzles or a mechanically movable part. A lance nozzle is configured to blow refining oxygen to molten iron charged in a reaction vessel while a gas is blown from a top-blowing lance to the molten iron. One or more blowing holes for blowing a working gas are on an inner wall side surface of the nozzle, at a site where the lance nozzle has a minimum cross-sectional area in a nozzle axis direction or at a neighboring site of the site.

Abstract: To directly and clearly observe the state inside a melting chamber in an electric furnace, a video-device-equipped electric furnace comprises: a melting chamber; a preheating chamber; and a video device to observe an inside of the melting chamber. The video device includes: a relay lens; an inner tube containing the relay lens and having an outer diameter of 100 mm or less; an outer tube containing the inner tube; and an imaging device located at an axial end of the relay lens on a furnace outside. The video device is provided through a hole in a furnace wall or lid so that the relay lens is located 300 mm to 3500 mm away from a highest molten iron interface in a vertically upward direction and the imaging device is located 300 mm or more away from an inner wall of the furnace wall or lid in a furnace outward direction.

Abstract: To reduce production costs by increasing molten iron heating efficiency, a production method using an electric furnace is provided with a preheating chamber, a melting chamber, a cold iron source supporter operable to partition the preheating chamber into a first and a second preheating chamber, an extruder, and a video device operable to observe the second preheating chamber is used, the method including a melting process, a heating process, a preheating process, and a tapping process are performed. In the heating process, heating of the molten iron is started after the cold iron source supporter is closed, and based on the visual information obtained via the video device of the second preheating chamber.

Abstract: To clearly observe the inside of a furnace where an object is heated by a burner. The burner includes: a lens; an imaging device; and a multiple pipe structure including: an inner pipe that surrounds the lens; an outer pipe that surrounds the inner pipe, separated from the inner pipe by a lens coolant passage; a gaseous fuel pipe radially outward of the outer pipe and operable to inject gaseous fuel; a combustion-supporting gas pipe radially outward of the outer pipe and operable to inject combustion-supporting gas; and a cooling pipe outermost in the multiple pipe structure that surrounds the gaseous fuel pipe and the combustion-supporting gas pipe.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment method by which mercury contained in exhaust gas can be separated and removed efficiently and inexpensively. The method includes cooling an exhaust gas containing mercury in metal vapor phase by spraying water or other methods to condense mercury in the exhaust gas from metal vapor phase into metal liquid and thus to separate and remove mercury from the exhaust gas. When the exhaust gas is cooled by spraying water, the sprayed water is collected and separated into separated water and a solid containing mercury that has condensed to metal liquid, and mercury is recovered from the solid. The metal mercury particles that have condensed to metal liquid are dispersed in cooling water. The metal mercury particles can thus be easily separated and recovered by using a suitable separation device.
