Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blast-Furnace Breakouts, Explosions, and Slips, and Methods of Prevention This bulletin, which is arranged in three parts, treats of the causes and prevention of blast-furnace breakouts, explosions, and slips. The first part discusses blast-furnace breakouts, the hazards there from, causes, and features of furnace design and methods of Operation that tend to prevent breakouts or lessen their number, and points out safety measures to be adopted. The second part takes up the theory and causes of gas explosions at blast-furnace plants and reviews the better methods in use for handling gas. The third part analyzes the causes of hanging and scaffolding in blast furnaces, with the result ing slips that frequently cause injury to the plant and danger to the workmen, describes features of construction and furnace design and methods of operation employed to prevent hanging and slipping, and suggests precautions and safeguards.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Occupational Hazards at Blast-Furnace Plants and Accident Prevention: Based on Records of Accidents at Blast Furnaces in Pennsylvania in 1915 As the disadvantages of hard driving became evident to the men in Charge of plants that were using higher proportions of Mesabi ores each year, and as the greater regularity and the economy in fuel and in lining from easier driving became apparent, there was a swing at many plants to extremely moderate driving slow driving. This tendency was accelerated by the let-up in production in 1907, by the great increase in productive capacity of the country, and by the larger output of basic iron, it being more difficult to produce good basic iron than good iron of higher silicon content in a furnace work ing irregularly, because of slips, Contemporaneously, there came the possibility of using a hotter blast, because of the smaller volume of blast with slow driving and the use of cleaned gas for the stoves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Blast Furnace Phenomena Still, the other question debated, be it borne in mind, is the economy of fuel in furnaces, whether charged into the furnace and consumed there, or supplied from without as caloric in the heated blast. Again, it is only when furnaces are working with the same, or nearly the same, charges of ore, ux, and fuel, i. Same quality of raw materials, and yielding the same quality of iron, that we can get comparative results of a reliable nature. Furnaces may be work ing in one district as well as in another, although using very different quantities of ore and fuel, and yielding very different quantities of iron, and Showing very different profit and loss accounts. Pig-iron making, like other manufactures, must be looked at both from the purely technical and the economical point of view. There is a technical maximum of useful effect and an economical maximum of useful effect. The technical useful effect would be so much the greater as the yield of pig-iron from a given weight of carbon and ores of the poorer qualities is greater.

Download or read book Blast Furnace Construction in America Classic Reprint written by Joseph Esrey Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blast-Furnace Construction in America This is in consequence of the great affinity of iron for oxygen, with which it will unite under almost all conditions of temperature and chemical environment found on the earth. This brings us to the fundamental fact in the metallurgy of iron which distinguishes it from all the other useful metals. Its only ores are its oxides. The sulphides are probably the most important ores of the other useful metals but sulphide of iron is not regarded primarily as an ore of iron but only as an ore of sulphur, partly because its sulphur value is greater than its iron value and partly because the blast furnace cannot produce good iron from material containing much sulphur. When the sulphur is burnt Off for conversion to sulphuric acid the iron takes up oxygen to replace the sulphur and becomes an oxide. These artificial oxides then become iron ores under certain conditions and with certain limitations which will be discussed later. But the use of iron sulphide as iron ore either by burning the sulphur off to waste, or directly in the furnace, as is so commonly done with the sulphides of other useful metals, is entirely unknown in the metallurgy of iron.

Download or read book Volcanoes written by John P. Lockwood and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volcanoes are essential elements in the delicate global balance of elemental forces that govern both the dynamic evolution of the Earth and the nature of Life itself. Without volcanic activity, life as we know it would not exist on our planet. Although beautiful to behold, volcanoes are also potentially destructive, and understanding their nature is critical to prevent major loss of life in the future. Richly illustrated with over 300 original color photographs and diagrams the book is written in an informal manner, with minimum use of jargon, and relies heavily on first-person, eye-witness accounts of eruptive activity at both "red" (effusive) and "grey" (explosive) volcanoes to illustrate the full spectrum of volcanic processes and their products. Decades of teaching in university classrooms and fieldwork on active volcanoes throughout the world have provided the authors with unique experiences that they have distilled into a highly readable textbook of lasting value. Questions for Thought, Study, and Discussion, Suggestions for Further Reading, and a comprehensive list of source references make this work a major resource for further study of volcanology. Volcanoes maintains three core foci: Global perspectives explain volcanoes in terms of their tectonic positions on Earth and their roles in earth history Environmental perspectives describe the essential role of volcanism in the moderation of terrestrial climate and atmosphere Humanitarian perspectives discuss the major influences of volcanoes on human societies. This latter is especially important as resource scarcities and environmental issues loom over our world, and as increasing numbers of people are threatened by volcanic hazards Readership Volcanologists, advanced undergraduate, and graduate students in earth science and related degree courses, and volcano enthusiasts worldwide.
