Final Report For Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Iron Ore Cooperative Research Performance of the Medusa modeling and simulation of the Keewatin Taconite Line 2 furnace, simulating oxygen injection in the first few feet of the kiln to determine oxygen required to achieve magnetite oxidation levels equivalent to ported kiln performance, greater than 95% complete at the kiln discharge point.
