Gas blowers use blasts of a gaseous material to remove slag from furnace walls. These tools work in a way that is similar to other blowing tools, like snow blowers or leaf blowers, but use strong, concentrated bursts of gas. Blowers for slag removal, which include jetblowers and sootblowers, often use heated air. This weakens the connection between the slag and furnace wall and leads to quick removal. Gas blowers usually use air or steam. Steam, given its high temperatures and moisture content, attacks slag in a different and more aggressive way than dry air. Sootblowers exist primarily to remove soot from furnaces, though many factories with coal furnaces use them as slag-removal tools in tandem with other tools such as water cleaners and chemical treatments.

What to add to remove Pb from copper in anode furnace?
Add silica in anode furnace it will make lead silicate and skim out with anode slag
Why slag is produced in metal extraction?
Metals are extracted from their ores which contain several impurities, the lighter impurities are removed by slag formation.
How is iron removed from a blast furnace?
Iron is removed from a balst furnace, it melts as it seeps down to the higher temperatures at the bottom of the furnace from where it is tapped off. Hope that helps.
Why is a blast furnace called blast furnace?
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 ?
How farmers reduce level of acidity in soil?

How is slag collected from 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.
How is limestone usefull?

What to add to remove Pb from copper in anode furnace?
Add silica in anode furnace it will make lead silicate and skim out with anode slag
Can the slag on a blast furnace be used in concrete or cement?
Slag from a blast furnace is usually ground down and used as a cement substitute as it is re-use of a waste product - it is not used on its own in concrete as the chemical reaction will not produce the same strength as proper cement.
How is iron refined?
Iron is refined by a blast furnace. A furnace is filled with iron ore, coke (which is charcoal made from coal) and limestone. Huge amounts of air are blasted into the furnace, the calcium from the limestone combines with silicates (which are minerals containing silicon and oxygen) to form slag (which is run off ore from the furnace). A layer of liquid iron collects under the slag, at the bottom of the furnace. The liquid iron is periodically let out to cool. Charlie
