<p>A pile of scrap turnings and pre-crushed sponge iron can undergo exothermic reactions, especialy when wet. To reduce the temperature of the pile, an inert gas preferably nigrogen, is introduced into the pile. This technique is particularly usefull for a pile of turnings or sponge iron in a ship's hold. This technique can be used either alone, or in conjunction with introduction of nitrogen into the turnings or spone iron as they are loaded into the ship's hold.</p> |
