Seminar
Description: This two-day seminar reviews the fundamental
principles, processes, equipment and operating practices used in ironmaking
today. The emphasis will be on the processes and equipment for blast
furnace ironmaking. A brief introduction to direct reduction and developing
hot metal processes such as Corex and rotary hearth/submerged arc
furnace will also be presented. |
