What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Russia has emerged as the top supplier of pulverised coal injection (PCI) to India\u2019s steel mills for at least five months of FY23 displacing Australia as the key supply nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Pulverised Coal Injection(PCI)?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pulverised Coal Injection <\/span>is an essential instrument for modern blast furnace iron making.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a process that involves injecting large volumes of fine coal particles into the raceway of a blast furnace (BF).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This provides not only a supplemental carbon source but also speeds up the production of liquid iron besides reducing the need for metallurgical coke for reactions in the blast furnace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the advantages of <\/b>Pulverised Coal Injection?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u2013 PCI uses non coking coal. This coal is cheaper than metallurgical coke. In most blast furnaces, PCI replaces 30 to 50% of the metallurgical coke charge. This results in lower fuel cost,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 The productivity of blast furnaces improves since coal injection is accompanied by oxygen injection,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 A wide grade of coals can be injected,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Injection rates are higher than the injection rates of other fuels such as oil and natural gas,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Coal grinding and injection systems are non-polluting systems. Hence, the overall pollution from coke production for iron making gets reduced by injecting pulverized coal in the blast furnace.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Coal supplies are relatively stable when compared with petroleum fuel supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
