The final stage in iron ore processing is ironmaking, where the iron ore is transformed into molten iron through a process called reduction. The most common method of ironmaking is the blast furnace route. In a blast furnace, iron ore, coke (carbon), and fluxes (limestone or dolomite) are loaded into the furnace from the top.

In this chapter, a methodology for simulating th e sintering process of iron ore is presented. In order to study the process parameters and inner phenomena, a mathematical model based on transport equations of momentum en ergy and chemical species is proposed and the numerical implementations is discussed. The model is applied to …

8H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5Fe²⁺(aq) → 5Fe³⁺(aq) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 4H₂O(l) A sample of iron ore with a mass of 1.535 g was dissolved with HCl and then treated with a reducing agent to convert any Fe³⁺ in the ore to Fe²⁺. Titration with 0.0455 M KMnO₄ solution required 59.15 mL of the solution to reach the endpoint where the ...

The blast furnace uses coke, iron ore and limestone to produce pig iron. Coal traditionally has been a key part of the coke-making 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 ...

Iron ore sintering involves the movement of a flame front down a particulate bed, and a series of physico-chemical reactions over a large temperature range.

Iron ore sintering entails high energy consumption and also produces significant pollution, responsible for the highest share of CO 2 emission, as well as SO 2 and NOx emissions, in the iron and steel production processes. 5 The SO 2 and NO X emissions from this process account for ∼70% and ∼40% of the total iron and steel …
