A method for rapidly determining a sulfur level in materials, particularly molten metals or gases, the method comprising contacting a reference electrode made of a specific type of a metal and metal sulfide mixture with a sulfur-containing molten metal or gas serving also as a counter electrode through a sulfide solid electrolyte thereby measuring an electromotive force established between the electrodes. The working temperature of the molten metal or gas is also measured. These parameters measured are used to calculate a sulfur content based on a certain equation. The probe for carrying out the above method is also disclosed, which comprises a reference electrode made of a material having a certain sulfur potential, a mass of a solid electrolyte comprised of CaS and TiS.sub.2, the reference electrode being contacted with a molten metal or gas through the solid mass to form a cell, a means for measuring an electromotive force generated across the cell, and a means for measuring a working temperature of the molten metal or gas.

摘要:
The invention provides a novel process for concurrently carrying out production of reduced iron and thermal cracking of heavy oils in which the reaction of thermal cracking is performed in a fluidized state with the fine iron ore as the fluidized medium and the particles of the iron ore become coated with deposits of the carbonaceous by-product material. The fine iron ore with the carbon deposited thereon is introduced in a fluidized-bed reducing furnace and there reduced into reduced iron by contacting with a reducing gas which is produced in a gas reformer from the cracked gas or the residual oil separated from the products of the thermal cracking. In an improvement of the above process, the gas reformer is operated as a fluidized-bed reactor with the reduced iron as the fluidized medium and acting as the reforming catalyst. The reduced iron partially re-oxidized in the reforming reaction is again reduced to completely reduced iron either by recycling into the fluidized-bed reducing furnace or by introducing into a second fluidized-bed reducing furnace.

A method of agitating a bath of melted metal for treating the same by blowing gas into a one piece columnar body of such melted metal disposed in the bath to cause the apparent specific gravity of the columnar body to be reduced and to thereby be hydrostatically lifted, and returning the lifted portion of the melted metal to the bath by pouring the same with a splashing effect onto the free surface of the bath, in a manner to continuously change the pouring position on the free surface of the bath, thereby causing improved agitation of the bath, and especially improved contact and mixing of the melted metal and a treating agent generally floating on the free surface of the bath.
