Some data about coal powder injection have been shown and one physical model, with high thermal gradient constructed at Escola de Minas-UFOP is described Using mixture of coal (3) and pre-heating of the coal some tests have been done, giving the conclusions below: pre heating of coal could be a good idea for improving the results obtained into the blast furnace, so mixture of more than two coals, not common practiced, could improve the combustion rate.
Wastes; pig iron; injection
