Abstract
Thermodynamic theory and rate process fundamentals were used to analyze the main characteristics of smelting and converting processes. The effect of increased oxygen potential was examined with emphasis in view of the increased use of highly oxygen-enriched gas in modern smelting processes. The results present quantitative features of the improved mixing of the particle-gas suspension and increased oxygen efficiency obtained with a distributor-cone burner compared with those with a single axial entry burner.
