Effective Equilibrium Reaction Zone Modeling of Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction: A Scenario Analysis
This work develops a dynamic model for hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) in direct current arc furnaces, implemented with a zonal approach to simulate industrial operations. The model couples thermodynamic principles with grouped mass-transfer parameters to predict the time evolution of mass, temperature, and composition in the metal, slag, and off-gas across furnace zones. Calibration is performed against published experimental data to accurately capture key mass-transfer dynamics.
