What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
What is used in the furnace to extract the iron?
blast furnace
Why sodium cannot be extracted by the blast furnace?
Sodium cannot be extracted by the blast furnace because it is a highly reactive metal that forms stable compounds with oxygen. This makes it energetically unfavorable to extract sodium through reduction reactions in a high temperature blast furnace. Instead, electrolysis is typically used to extract sodium from its compounds like sodium chloride.
Where Is Iron Made?
The principal mineral used to extract iron is hematite. It is extracted by a redox reaction series. The 'industrial vessel' used to melt iron is called the blast furnace.
What is the products of blast furnace?
The main products of a blast furnace are pig iron (used to make steel) and slag (a byproduct that is used in construction materials).
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 machinery or equipment is used to extract iron from iron ore?
To extract iron from iron ore, several types of machinery and equipment are used, primarily in a blast furnace. The main equipment includes the blast furnace itself, where iron ore is combined with coke and limestone at high temperatures to produce molten iron. Additional equipment such as crushers, grinders, and conveyors are used to prepare and transport the raw materials. After extraction, further refining processes may involve electric arc furnaces or converters to produce steel from the molten iron.
What is the function iron ore in a 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.

What are blast furnace and crucible furnaces?
A blast furnace is a type of furnace used for smelting to produce industrial metals like iron. It uses a continuous supply of air blown into the bottom of the furnace to create high temperatures for the chemical reactions to take place. A crucible furnace is a small, cylindrical furnace used for melting substances like metals for casting. It is lined with refractory material and can reach high temperatures quickly due to its compact size. This type of furnace is commonly used in laboratories and small-scale metalworking operations.
Where does the carbon that is used in blast furnace come from?
Coal, distilled to drive off itscontents and leave the carbon, plus a little bit of non-volatile impurities, principally silica; in a form called Coke. (No relation to the colloquialcontraction of Coca-Cola! :-) )
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 ?
