Iron produced by blast furnace is called?
pig iron
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 ?
Why is Limestone added to a Blast Furnace for producing Iron?
it purifies it
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.
What goes into a blast furnace?
Sinter, which is a mixture of iron ore, coke and limestone, and a blast of hot air. Externally to the furnace, iron ore, coke and limestone are mixed together Intimate mixing ensures that the reactants are as close as possible to each other. This is loaded into the top of the blast furnace. A blast of hot air ( ~ 1100 oC) is sent in at the bottom of the furnace, through tuyeres. The oxygen (air) is also one of the reactants. The products are tapped from the bottom of the furb=nace are liquid iron and 'slag' ( calcium silicate).
How is steel different from blast furnace iron?
Blast furnace iron is pure iron. It isn't mixed with any other elements. In steel, iron is mixed with small amounts of carbon.
What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
Is iron oxide ruduced or oxidised in a blast furnace?
It is 96% iron (the rest is mostly sulphur etc.).
What is used in the furnace to extract the iron?
blast furnace
How does limestone coke and iron ore get into the blast furnace?
through the top of the blast furnace
How is Direct Reduced Iron superior to blast furnace iron?
no
Iron produced by blast furnace is called?
pig iron
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.

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 coke for in a blast furnace?
the Coke supplies carbon monoxide to reduce the ore in a blast furnace and supplies heat to melt the iron.
How is iron taken out from its location?
It is mined. Then a blast furnace separates the iron.
