A blast furnace is heated using hot air or hot gases blown into the lower section of the furnace. This process helps to combust the coke (fuel) and create high temperatures necessary for the chemical reactions to convert iron ore into molten iron. The combustion of coke also produces carbon monoxide, which acts as a reducing agent in the process.
The main products of a blast furnace are pig iron (used to make steel) and slag (a byproduct that is used in construction materials).
how does the blast furnace maintain the heat ?what is the function of CaCO3 ?how the slag protect the molten iron ?why does iron flow down to the bottom /how does the slag and molten iron get seperated ?what is use of waste gas /what is main impurity of iron in blast furnace ?
The viscosity of slag in a blast furnace typically ranges from 1 to 10 Pa.s (Pascal-seconds) at typical operating temperatures. Viscosity can vary based on factors such as temperature, composition of the slag, and other process conditions within the blast furnace.
Iron ore is used in a blast furnace as a raw material for producing iron. It is the primary source of iron, which is essential for the production of steel. The iron ore undergoes a series of chemical reactions in the blast furnace, resulting in the extraction of molten iron.
Molten iron sinks to the bottom of the blast furnace due to its higher density compared to the other materials. It is tapped from the furnace and cast into molds to solidify into various shapes for further processing.
Depending on the scale, it could be a crucible, a furnace or (only in the case of iron) a blast furnace.
I think it istrue
Blast furnace = Hochofen
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
Its because air is forced into the furnace to increase temperature. Steve.
Govăjdia Blast Furnace was created in 1810.
A blast furnace is a forge in which ore is smelted to meal, being intensified by a blast of hot air.

A blast furnace.
iron is collected from blast furnace by drilling the taphole.Taphole is a hole drill and plug after cycle of time located in blast furnace bottom.
Useful Volume of Blast Furnace is the volume of the furnace from the throat level to the level where the taphole is placed. This is known the way basically because that is the region where the useful products from Blast furnace are present.
