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.
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.
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 ?
First we add the basic iron production elements (i.e, limiston,coreand processed iron e.g hematite,Fe2O3 ) the coke is react with oxygen and form crbone monoxide the limestone decomposed to CaO and carbon dioxide,CO2 carbondioxide,CO2 react with Fe2O3 to form Fe and CO CaO (reaction flux) react with almunia and silica form slag the Fe is removed as a molton ways below blast furnace and sage is removed anather ways,THANK YOU FOR READ
It typically takes a few hours to produce iron in a blast furnace. The process involves loading the furnace with iron ore, coke, and limestone, heating it to high temperatures, and allowing the molten iron to collect at the bottom of the furnace. Once the iron is ready, it can be tapped and further processed into various forms.
Molten iron sinks to the bottom of the blast furnace due to its higher density compared to the other materials. It is tapped from the furnace and cast into molds to solidify into various shapes for further processing.
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
It is 96% iron (the rest is mostly sulphur etc.).

Iron is primarily extracted from iron ore in a blast furnace at an iron and steel plant. The iron ore is first processed into iron oxide, which is then reduced to metallic iron using carbon as a reducing agent in the blast furnace.

Blast furnace iron is pure iron. It isn't mixed with any other elements. In steel, iron is mixed with small amounts of carbon.
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.
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
It is mined. Then a blast furnace separates the iron.
the Coke supplies carbon monoxide to reduce the ore in a blast furnace and supplies heat to melt the iron.
