Method of monitoring and controlling the oxygen blowing process

Claim 1

A METHOD OF MONITORING AND CONTROLLING AUTOMATICALLY THE REACTIONS OCCURRING DURING THE OXYGEN BLOWING PROCESS BETWEEN THE METAL BATH, THE SLAG AND THE GAS PHASE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF MEASURING CONTINUOUSLY THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN ONTO THE METAL BATH PER TIME UNIT AND THE VOLUME OF THE WASTE GAS AND ANALYZING SAID WASTE GAS FOR CO, CO2, O2 AND H2, GRANSMITTING SAID MEASURED AND COMPOSITION VALUES FOR COMPUTATION AND OBTAINING A VALUE OC, CHARACTERISITIC FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF OXYGEN IN THE OCCURRING REACTIONS ACCORDING TO THE EQUATION OC=1/100 . V/(DOB/DT) . (0.766(CO) + 1.266(CO2 + O2) 0.234(H2) - 26.582) AND CONTROLLING THE COURSE OF THE REACTIONS BY CONTROLLING THE OC=VALUE, INCLUDING CONTROLLING THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN ONTO SAID METAL BATH, AND THE DISTANCE OF THE OXYGEN NOZZLE FROM SAID METAL BATH AND THE FEEDING OF ADDITIVES, RESPECTIVELY, WHEREIN OC DENOTES THE RATIO OF THE OXYGEN AMOUNT BOUND IN THE CARBON OF THE METAL BATH PER UNIT OF TIME TO THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN IN PER UNIT OF TIME, DOB/DT DENOTS THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN IN PER UNIT OF TIME, V DENOTES THE FLOW RATE OF DRY WASTE GASES CONVERTED TO STANDARD CONDITIONS, AND CO, CO2, O2 AND H2 DENOTE THE VOLUMETRIC PERCENTAGE VALUES OF CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OXYGEN AND HYDROGEN, RESPECTIVELY, CONTAINED IN THE DRY EXHAUST GASES WITHIN THE GAS EXHAUST SYSTEM OF A REACTION VESSEL.

Claim 2

A METHOD OF MONITORING AND CONTROLLING AUTOMATICALLY THE REACTIONS OCCURRING DURING THE OXYGEN BLOWING PROCESS BETWEEN THE METAL BATH, THE SLAG AND THE GAS PHASE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF MEASURING CONTINUOUSLY THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN ONTO THE METAL BATH PER TIME UNIT AND THE VOLUME OF THE WASTE GAS AND ANALYZING SAID WASTE GAS FOR CO, CO2, O2 AND H2, GRANSMITTING SAID MEASURED AND COMPOSITION VALUES FOR COMPUTATION AND OBTAINING A VALUE OC, CHARACTERISITIC FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF OXYGEN IN THE OCCURRING REACTIONS ACCORDING TO THE EQUATION OC=1/100 . V/(DOB/DT) . (0.766(CO) + 1.266(CO2 + O2) 0.234(H2) - 26.582) AND CONTROLLING THE COURSE OF THE REACTIONS BY CONTROLLING THE OC=VALUE, INCLUDING CONTROLLING THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN ONTO SAID METAL BATH, AND THE DISTANCE OF THE OXYGEN NOZZLE FROM SAID METAL BATH AND THE FEEDING OF ADDITIVES, RESPECTIVELY, WHEREIN OC DENOTES THE RATIO OF THE OXYGEN AMOUNT BOUND IN THE CARBON OF THE METAL BATH PER UNIT OF TIME TO THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN IN PER UNIT OF TIME, DOB/DT DENOTS THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN BLOWN IN PER UNIT OF TIME, V DENOTES THE FLOW RATE OF DRY WASTE GASES CONVERTED TO STANDARD CONDITIONS, AND CO, CO2, O2 AND H2 DENOTE THE VOLUMETRIC PERCENTAGE VALUES OF CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OXYGEN AND HYDROGEN, RESPECTIVELY, CONTAINED IN THE DRY EXHAUST GASES WITHIN THE GAS EXHAUST SYSTEM OF A REACTION VESSEL.
