Abstract: A cold model of BOF limestone particles blowing via top lance was established to investigate the mixing time, powder distribution and penetration ratio in the melt bath. Water, saltcoated hollow alumina particles and vacuumpump oil were used to simulate liquid steel, limestone particles and slag, respectively. The effects of gas flow and the lance position on the mixing time were studied, and the optimum process in the test condition was determined. The penetration ration and the powder distribution were measured under the optimum processing condition. The results showed that the powder penetration ratio increases with the increase of solid/gas ratio and powder particle size. The lance position under the top blowing spray condition slightly lowers to the height of 258mm, botton blowing rate is 20m3/h.Under the laboratory condition, the powder particle size 0212~0380mm are suggested.

Key words: mixing time, powder penetration ratio, powder distribution, solid/gas ratio, powder particle size
