Publish Date: 1997-06-01
Features: This Manual was compiled based on summarizing 40 years of experience in raw material preparation design and collecting relevant data. Compared to the "Reference Materials for Mechanical Handling Design in Steel Plants" published by Metallurgical Industry Press in 1978, it incorporates and supplements many new technologies and data, significantly improving both the depth and breadth of its content. The Manual is divided into four parts, 30 chapters, and includes two appendices. Its content features are as follows:
(1) Technologically Up-to-Date. The Manual has added contemporary new processes and technologies such as unloading, stockpiling, blending, mechanical sampling and sample preparation, conveying, anti-caking and thawing of bulk materials, and the control and management of raw material preparation systems. It also supplements new equipment technologies and data.
(2) Rich in Process Design Content. It includes technical and economic indicators for process design, requirements for design commissions to relevant specialized fields, system production capacity, and process design for various raw material preparation operations.
(3) Updated Data. Most of the technical data and information cited in the Manual come from publications or internal materials from the 1980s and 1990s.
(4) Systematic, Comprehensive, and Highly Practical. The Manual is systematic, complete, and thorough, with strong practicality. During its compilation, it took into account China's actual conditions while fully absorbing advanced technologies and experiences from both domestic and international sources. This Manual is available for use by engineering technicians in the metallurgical industry, as well as for reference by faculty and students in relevant fields of power, coal, building materials, chemical, transportation, light industry, and mechanical manufacturing industries, as well as universities and colleges.
The processes and production process systems of raw material preparation will vary significantly depending on the region, factory composition, and raw material conditions of steel plants. Therefore, when using this Manual, while ensuring compliance with national standards, regulations, and specifications, it is also essential to pay special attention to the specific regional and conditions of each project to correctly and reasonably select and apply the relevant technologies and data in the Manual.
