A long-life service method for powder-bottom-injecting converter based on collaborative hot replacement of furnace bottom and bottom purging brick belongs to the field of steelmaking technologies using powder-bottom-injecting converters. According to equipment characteristics, process characteristics, and erosion characteristics of the powder-bottom-injecting converter, the design, arrangement, installation, use, maintenance, and replacement of the bottom purging/powder injection bricks are systematically optimized and improved, a technology of automatically detecting the erosion height of bottom purging bricks is adopted, and hot replacement of bottom purging/powder injection bricks and hot replacement of the converter furnace bottom are used collaboratively, which not only can prolong the service life of a single bottom purging/powder injection brick, but also can greatly prolong the overall life of the powder-bottom-injecting converter from 1000-3000 heats in the prior art to 6000-10000 heats. Hence, the life of the powder-bottom-injecting converter is as long as that of a conventional converter.

The invention relates to a method for controlling suspension in a suspension smelting furnace, to a suspension smelting furnace, and to a concentrate burner. The method comprises feeding additionally to pulverous solid matter and additionally to reaction gas reducing agent into the suspension smelting furnace, wherein reducing agent is fed in the form of a concentrated stream of reducing agent through the suspension in the reaction shaft onto the surface of the melt to form a reducing zone containing reducing agent within the collection zone of the melt.

The present invention relates to an access port arrangement and in particular an access port arrangement capable of enabling stirring of a molten metal in a vessel. Such arrangements are often called tuyeres. The access port arrangement comprises an inner part forming a core with an outer periphery and an outer part comprising a bore therethrough having an inner periphery positioned around the outer periphery of the inner part with the path way defined by a gap between the outer periphery of the inner part and the inner periphery on the outer part. The arrangement further comprises one or more bridges that span the gap between the outer periphery of the inner part and the inner periphery of the outer part. The inner and outer part are formed of a refractory material.

The present invention relates to a method for pneumatically blowing a powdery substitute reducing agent in a dense flow process, by means of a transport gas, into a gasification reactor, or via a tuyere into a blast furnace. The substitute reducing agent is gasified in a gasification reaction. The transport gas comprises a fuel gas, the constituents of which or the oxidation constituents of which are at least partly involved in the gasification reaction.
