A novel technology of tuyere protection is introduced. The ceramic coat is synthesized by using in-situ combustion process as the internal, external, and nose protecting coat of BF tuyeres. It can effectively protect the tuyeres and reduce heat loss by cooling water. The technology is quick-acting, easy to use, energy-saving and can make tuyeres have long service life. The feasibility of the application of the tuyere ceramic coat is discussed and the energy-saving effect of the tuyere is compared with that of the tuyeres lined with refractory.

Some types of ZnO nanostructures with various shape and size, including tetrapod-like ZnO (T-ZnO) nanorods, nanowiresand nanoribbons, have been obtained by controlled growth process. The nanostructures of ZnO have been investigated by means offield-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron micros-copy. The growth mechanisms of various ZnO nanosttrctures were proposed and discussed.
