The injection technique of a jet of gas-solid mixture is used in Mitsubishi Continuous Copper Smelting Process. In order to design the furnace with minimum hearth wear, it is important to know the behavior of a jet of gas-solid mixture into molten bath. But the direct measurement can hardly be made in an industrial plant.Therefore, the characteristics of a jet of gas-solid mixture were examined in detail using a cold model, and an equation which is able to estimate the penetration depth of solid was derived on the basis of the results obtained. The reliability of this equation was confirmed by laboratory scale hot model experiments.
