A Scale Effect and Prospect by High Temperature Resistance Solid Biofuel Compatible Melting Furnace

Abstract

　　　The depletion of the iron and energy resources is imminent; however, the urgency is yet to be realized. Iron and energy resources are indispensable for the development of social infrastructure within the nation. A new recycling society via renewable energy for this industry can be built by solid biofuel with high-temperature characteristics. The development of a new bio-solid melting furnace using renewable energy to construct a modern recycling society is essential for obtaining economic stability over the long term. This article considers the combustion characteristics of a small melting furnace using biocoke, which is one of solid biofuel with high-temperature characteristics and conducts a similar rule for scale modeling. This article also describes the importance of research and development to maintain the national and living infrastructure by solid biofuels, even if fossil resources deplete.
