Abstract
A linear relationship has been found between oxygen usage and particulate mass emission rate for a basic open hearth furnace. Particulate emissions were found to pass through a minimum at 50% hot metal addition to the furnace which also corresponded to minimum oxygen consumption. Number 2 dealer scrap and hot metal addition were found to have a secondary effect on the particulate emissions. Variation of number 2 dealer scrap from 0 to 15% of the charge and hot metal from 10 to 70% resulted in a maximum 44% increase in particulate emissions. Aerodynamic particle size distributions for all heats and within heats were relatively invariant with an average mass median diameter of 1.4µ
