Abstract
In order to elucidate the morphology and mineralogy of the dust from blast furnace, the fundamental aspects of its generation process were studied. A dust generated by the dry dedusting step of the cleaning process for the BF off-gas was analysed by microscopy and chemical analyses. The results indicated that the shape of particles is predominantly non-regular. We established with approximation the main mineralogical compounds: hematite, magnetite, calcium ferrites, glass and silicate phases. These are in accordance with mineralogy of the feed materials charged into blast furnace and in correlation with the complex processes that are developed into specifical zones where the dust particles were generated. The properties of BF dust and its structural phases are discused in respect to the blast furnace processes, the temperature zones and the gas composition.

Structural Changes Associated with the Pseudoelastic Response of Fe-Based Shape Memory Alloys
The pseudoelastic responses of two types of iron base shape memory alloys (SMAs) were introduced and discussed. The former was based on Fe-Mn-Si system, obtained by classical (CM) and by powder metallurgy (PM) manufactur...
Experimental Aspects for CeO2 Nanoparticles Synthesis and Characterization
In recent years, cerium oxide (CeO2, or ceria) became a versatile nanostructured material because of its unique properties derived from the low dimensionality and high surface area. It was also extensively studied due to...

Behavior of Rp3-High Speed Steel on Short Time Nitriding in Fluidized Bed
For steel nitriding, treatment time is a important factor. Gas and plasma nitriding are usual method to increase surface properties by nitriding. A close retort is used. Total time for treatment are higher because are ne...
