Why is the cast iron obtained from the blast furnace is treated further to produce steel?
It's not. PIG iron from the blast furnace is treated further to produce steel. Cast iron is a product made from only iron, like a cast iron frying pan. When they make a cast iron frying pan, it's ready to be sold and used. Pig iron is sent to steel mills and converted to steel.
How is annealed steel made?
Steel-making ProcessIf there are still some Bessemer Converters in operation that procvess made steel by mixing iron ore, limestone and coke in a furnace and blowiing air through the mixture. This produced steel ingots.The more modern process employs the same mixture in an electric furnace. Stainless steel, case-hardened steel and other specialty steels are produced by adding other ingredients at different times in the process.
What must be done to iron ore to produce the element iron?
Iron goes through a number of stages between ore and final steel product. In the first stage, iron ore is heated with limestone and coke (pure carbon) in a blast furnace. A blast furnace is a very large oven in which the temperature may reach 1,500°C (2,700°F). In the blast furnace, coke removes oxygen from iron ore Read more: http://www.chemistryexplained.com/elements/C-K/Iron.html#ixzz1820JDBkZ
Energy that is produced commercially from coal is called?
Thermal energy I suppose, but in most cases it is used for electricity. The steel industry uses coal (or coke rather) in blast furnaces.
Uses of pure iron?
Today, pig iron is typically poured directly out of the bottom of the blast furnace through a trough into a ladle car for transfer to the steel mill in mostly liquid form, referred to as hot metal. The hot metal is then charged into a steelmaking vessel to produce steel, typically with an electric arc furnace or basic oxygen furnace, by burning off the excess carbon in a controlled fashion and adjusting the alloy composition.
Name the Metal produced in a blast furnace?
Steel
Where is the Largest blast furnace of Asia?
'i' blast furnace of tata steel, jamshedpur,india

The blast furnace in a steel mill represents?
raw material
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 a blast furance?
A blast furnace just makes better steel. Invented in the industrial revelution
Did Henry Bessemer invent the blast furnace for making steel?
yes he did
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 pool iron scrap?
Basically it is from Blast furnace where in which liquid steel is made prior to arriving at the other (BOF) Basic Oxygen Furnace, and obviously needs to reach a certain Heat to the pull across. It is waste generated during process of melting of steel (by means of spillage while discharging from blast furnace).
What are the processes involved in steel making?
Iron ore is heated to melting point in a blast furnace. Other elements are added depending on the type of steel required Scrap steel can be melted down in an electric furnace also.
What is Integrated steel mill?
An integrated steel mill reduces iron ore with coke in a blast furnace into liquid iron. The liquid iron is then charged with scrap metal into a basic oxygen furnace and turned into steel. Many integrated steel mills have a coking facility on site.
What are disadvantages in steel making blast furnace?
Blast furnaces require you to go and stick dil*o up your vag, then lick my long john and give a fellatio to your cousin.
