Before iron ore can be used, oxygen must be removed from it. Known as 'reducing', this can be done either in the blast furnace, where hot air is injected into a continuous feed of coke, sinter and lime, or by the direct reduced iron (DRI) process. The result from both is liquid iron, which is then transported to the basic oxygen furnace. The blast furnace process also produces two ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377However, sinter and pellets are now the dominant blast furnace burden, because the natural lump supply has declined dramatically due to depletion of the world's highgrade competent iron ore resources. In addition, more iron ore concentrates are being produced due to the increasing need for beneficiation to upgrade lowgrade iron ore resources.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The first step in the metallurgy of iron is usually roasting the ore (heating the ore in air) to remove water, decomposing carbonates into oxides, and converting sulfides into oxides. The oxides are then reduced in a blast furnace that is 80100 feet high and about 25 feet in diameter (Figure 2) in which the roasted ore, coke ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Blast Furnace (pig iron) Blast furnace (Figure 2) is a process for producing liquid raw iron by smelting pellets or sinter in a reducing environment. The end products are usually molten metal, slag and blast furnace gas. In the reduction process, oxygen (O 2) is taken out of the pellets or sinter. Coke is often used as a reducing agent, as well
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The extraction of iron from its ore is a long and subdued process, that helps in separating the useful components from the waste materials such as slag. What happens in the Blast Furnace? The purpose of a Blast Furnace is to reduce the concentrated ore chemically to its liquid metal state.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The blast furnace uses coke, iron ore and limestone to produce pig iron. Coal traditionally has been a key part of the cokemaking process. The coal is crushed and ground into a powder and then charged into an oven where it is heated to approximately 1800°F in the absence of oxygen. As the oven is heated, the coal begins to melt so most of the ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377A blast furnace is a type of metallurgical furnace used for smelting to produce metals, generally iron.. In a blast furnace, fuel and ore are continuously supplied through the top of the furnace, while air (sometimes with oxygen enrichment) is blown into the bottom of the chamber, so that the chemical reactions take place throughout the furnace as the material moves downward.
