HOW A BLAST FURNACE WORKS Introduction The purpose of a blast furnace is to chemically reduce and physically convert iron oxides into liquid iron called "hot metal". The blast furnace is a huge, steel stack lined with refractory brick, where iron ore, coke and limestone are dumped into the top, and preheated air is blown into the bottom.

The blast furnace is charged continuously with iron-bearing burden, slag formers, and coke. The iron burden consists of sinter, pellets, and/or lumpy ore in various proportions. Slag …

Flux is also added to the blast furnace charge to absorb impurities present in the iron sources and coke ash. Flux is essentially limestone (or calcium carbonate) and dolomite (calcium and magnesium carbonates). In addition, some steel producers use powder injection coal (PCI) or other sources of hydrocarbon (such as used motor oil) at the ...

 — The blast furnace is charged continuously with iron-bearing burden, slag formers, and coke. The iron burden consists of sinter, pellets, and/or lumpy ore in various proportions. Slag formers are usually limestone, BOF slag, and quartzite in small amounts to balance the slag rate and chemistry. ... Iron ore burden or limestone in a form of PbS ...

The blast furnace. The blast furnace is used industrially to extract iron from its ore. Most of the iron produced in the blast furnace is usually turned into steel. The diagram below shows the main parts of the blast furnace with a brief description of what they do.

 — This study investigates the alterations in the ratios of components such as class C fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BFS), and waste stone powder (WSP) types of limestone powder (LP) used in the production of geopolymer concrete. These components are meticulously examined concerning the physical and mechanical attributes of …
