its used a fuel , but has less calorific value as the carbon monoxide percentage is less which is the main combustible gas in the b.f gas. its used in heating the blast of hot air in the blast furnance itself and also can be used in rolling mill, sinter plant, and many more where you need heating

Furnace used in thermal power plant How this furnace works in heating the boiler?

A Furnace works by heating the power plant with the fuel provided you idiot... how else do you think it works??


Operation of a combined cycle power plant?

A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency. For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%. It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.


Chemical waste disposal?

All substances to be disposed of should, if possible, be identified by chemical name and molecular formula. If this is very difficult because there is a mixed waste, then the character of the mixture must be accurately defined, e.g. categorizations such as a mixture of organic amines and their salts but with no compound boiling below 100oC; some are suspect carcinogens would be helpful and acceptable (provided it is true) but a categorization such as mixture of organic liquids, smells of nitrobenzene will not be acceptable and some work will have to be done by the originators of the waste to determine what else is with the nitrobenzene before it can be accepted.it is very importnthat if thre are hnown hazards associated with the waste,these should be stated on the label...including forr exmple the inclusion of hazardous drying agents.All substances to be disposed of must be put into leak-proof containers that are clearly labelled with the identity or categorization of the contents any known hazards,and some indication of boiling point range.. Substances identified only by a trade name will also not be accepted - there has to be some indication of the chemical nature.genaral: If material is packed into used boxes, ensure that old labels are obliterated and the container is marked "this way up". The total weight should not exceed 5 kg and the dimensions should be about one foot cube. Organic or aqueous liquids should be in glass or plastic containers, solids in metal drums or plastic tubs.(shri vinash)

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.

What is difference between Cupola furnace and blast furnace?

In essence nothing, a Cupola furnace is a type of blast furnace in that it is charged at the top and tapped at the bottom and air is blasted into the furnace via a wind belt and tuyres. A blast furnace in a steel works is a huge structure operated for long periods of time, it is charged with iron ore, coke and limestone and reduces the iron ore into pure iron. A Cupola furnace, as used in the foundry re melts pig iron, from the blast furnace, along with foundry scrap, steel scrap and scrap iron engine blocks and produced iron alloys of various specifications. A Cupola furnace is usually operated on a daily basis but some types can be continuously operated for several weeks


What is use of mud carbon in blast furnace?

Mudgun is hydraulically operated machine that is used to close the tap hole of the blast furnace after draining out the metal / slag from the furnace from time to time. It is heavy equipment and the most critical of all the equipments used in blast furnace. The failure of the machine will lead to shut down of the furnace to close the tap hole.

What is the waste gas in the Blast Furnace used for?

It is mostly carbon monoxide and nitrogen gases which has some heating value. So it is typically recovered and mixed with natural gas, &/or coke oven gas and used in boilers for steam or other steel heating furnaces for further processing of steel.
