| Abstract | The PyroLIBS system allows for the direct and real-time measurement of molten metal and slag compositions. In concert with advanced process control techniques, it is expected to provide step-change improvements to a variety of pyrometallurgical processes, on the order of millions of dollars per year. The results of the successful in-plant pilot of PyroLIBS for blast furnace ironmaking are presented. Discussion is provided on how the real-time measurement of hot metal silicon, manganese and slag inclusions can be used to provide improvements to blast furnace process control, compared to current best practices. |
