Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in the productivity
of the blast furnaces as a result of capital enlargement and
operation intensification. It may be observed that all the newer
installations of blast furnaces in Europe are of large capacity
in the range 7-10,000 tpd. In this note, the trend of the refractory
practice in lining these large capacity blast furnaces
in UK and Europe has been reported. A typical blast furnace
is shown in Fig. 1.
