Abstract
Disclosed are methods useful in applications relating to blast furnace processes. The methods of the present invention provide enhanced deposition inhibition of particulate matter in top-pressure recovery turbines. The methods of the present invention comprise adding nitrogen-containing compounds to a top-pressure recovery turbine, inhibiting deposition of solids formed from blast furnace gas on top-pressure recovery turbine components.
Claims11
A method of reducing deposition of blast furnace gas solids in a top-pressure recovery turbine in a metal-producing process, the method comprising:
- adding a composition comprising ammonia to a top-pressure recovery turbine, wherein the composition is added as a gas, a liquid in the absence of solvent, or an aqueous solution comprising at least about 50% water.
