Abstract

To prevent burn-back at a coal dust injection lance which projects into a hot blast conduit of a blast furnace, cooling is effected using atomized coolant. Water is preferred as the coolant. The carrier gas used for the atomized water is either air or the oxygen which is injected through the lance for complete combustion of the coal dust.
