A blast furnace is a vertical shaft furnace that reduces iron ores to the so-called pig iron for subsequent processing into steels of various qualities. Metallic ore, coke and flux, containing elements such as limestone, are charged in layers into the top of a blast furnace, while usually air is introduced under pressure through the tuyeres ...
When using the blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF), about 270 kg of limestone is utilized to manufacture 1000 kg of crude steel. When an electric arc …
Limestone plays a crucial role in the blast furnace process by acting as a flux to remove impurities from the raw materials and form a slag that can be easily …
What is the purpose of adding limestone to a blast furnace? (A) The limestone decomposes and the products of that reaction convert impurities into slag. (B) The limestone decomposes, an exothermic reaction, heating up the furnace. (C) The limestone reduces the …
Global steel production is based on the refining of liquid pig iron in basic oxygen converters. No technologies that do not use liquid pig iron are expected to replace this method in the coming decades, and ore and coal will remain the main raw materials used to make pig iron. Existing technologies that produce liquid pig iron outside the …
