Popis: The COREX®-process is the first commercially operating smelting reduction process for the production of pig iron. For this reason, it can be seen as an alternative to the common industrial iron-making route via the blast furnace. For both, the COREX® melter-gasifier (MG) and the blast furnace, good gas-solid contact is essential for the stable and efficient operation of the process. Due to the very harsh conditions inside the MG, the possibilities for measurement of process conditions are very limited. Thus, detailed numerical models are required to gain additional understanding of the physical and chemical processes occurring within the MG.
