    Pellet-size estimation of a ferrochrome pelletizer circuit using Computer Vision techniques by Johannes Kasselman Rabie Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ENGINEERING (EXTRACTIVE METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING) in the Faculty of Engineering at Stellenbosch University Supervisor Dr Lidia Auret March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Pellet-size estimation of a ferrochrome pelletizer circuit using Computer Vision techniques Rabie J.K., Auret L. Department of Process Engineering, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, Matieland 7602, South Africa. Thesis: M.Eng (Extractive Metallurgical Engineering) March 2018 Agglomerate pellet size plays an integral part in the safe and stable operation of a submerged arc furnace (SAF), and the efficiencies and yields achieved within the ferrochrome refining processes. For effective process control that ensures constant and optimal pellet size production, the continuous monitoring of pellet size distribution produced by the agglomeration circuit becomes imperative. Traditional size estimation methods tend to be labour intensive and time consuming, and cannot provide feedback in real time. The need therefore exists for automated, real time, and non-intrusive industrial size estimation systems.

  • Ferrochrome (Fecr)
    Ferrochrome (FeCr) Price range in 2020 2,78 €/kg Cr – 3,77 €/kg Cr for Low Carbon Ferrochrome 1,49 $/Ib Cr – 1,90 $/Ib Cr Formula FeCr CAS no. 11114-46-8 Description Ferrochrome, or Ferrochromium (FeCr) is a type of ferroalloy, that is, an alloy between chromium and iron, generally containing 50% to 70% chromium. It is produced in an energy intensive process in electric furnaces from chrome ore, iron ore and coal. FeCr is used in the production of stainless steel, special steel and castings. Ferrochrome is divided up in three main products which are Low Carbon FeCr, Medium Carbon FeCr and High Carbon FeCr. Physical Properties General The melting point and density of ferrochrome depends on its chrome and carbon content Abrasion good resistance to abrasion Corrosion good resistance to corrosion Gravity high specific gravity Magnetism high magnetism High carbon Medium carbon Low carbon DensityFeCr70 6,7-7,1 g/cm³ 0,242-0,257 Ib/in³ 7,1-7,3 g/cm³ 0,257-0,264 Ib/in³ 7,3-7,35 g/cm³ 0,264-0,266 Ib/in³ Melting 1350-1650 °C 2462-3002 °F 1360-1600 °C 2480-2912 °F 1580-1690 °C 2876-3074 °F pointFeCr70 Source: Volkert, G. & Frank, K.-D.: Die Metallurgie der Ferrolegierungen CO2 Footprint Scope 2 * Scope 3 ** Upstream emission factors - 5,987 tCo2 / tFeCr Source: worldsteel association Actually requested materials based on metalshub transactions Material Size Composition, as percentages by mass Designation Packaging Pallet name [mm] Cr C Si P S Low carbon Min. 10 65 - LCFeCr 65 1 mt big bags One way pallet grade Max.
