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.

What are the methods of extracting iron?

Iron smelting isn't something that can be done (at all) in the kitchen or in a typical home. Driving the last oxygen atom off of iron requires temperatures in excess of 1250 degrees centigrade (around 2300F), so you need a forge, furnace, or kiln capable of reaching those temperatures. Then you also need to control the atmosphere inside the hot space so that it doesn't contain any free oxygen. This can be done by adding graphite, coke, or lump (not briquette!) charcoal. Iron smelting is a big, hard, task, and not usually done "at home".

Why is a blast furnace called a blast furnace and not a furnace or fire furnace?

The basic concept of a blast furnace hasn't changed in more than 100 yrs. Modern furnaces are of course more complex due to newer technologies. First of all the furnace is basically a steel tank, inside it is lined with brick or gunite. The outside shell is protected from the heat by hundreds of "coolers" which are located around the entire furnace. Coolers are usually made from copper and have water inlets and outlets; water does not enter the inside of the furnace but is circulated in a closed loop system through a network of piping. At the bottom of the furnace are openings called tuyeres (ta-weers) through which hot air is blown into the furnace. The tuyeres are connected to a large brick-lined pipe called a bustle pipe. The bustle pipe is connected to a series of very large stoves. Outside air is fed into the stoves where it is heated. The heated air is then blown into the bustle pipe, through the tuyeres and into the furnace. The tuyeres can also be piped to allow the use of oxygen, pulverized coal, and natural gas to enhance the heat. Raw material is loaded into the top of the furnace by conveyor or a skip car which runs on a track pulled by cables. The raw materials are iron ore, limestone, coke and alloys chosen by the steelmaker. At the bottom of the furnace is an opening called the tap hole. The tap hole is plugged by a machine called a mud gun, the mud gun is loaded by hand with "mud" which is a high grade refractory that does not melt under the intense heat. After the materials reach the desired temp (usually about 3500 deg F) another machine called a tap drill drills out the mud to let the molten metal out of the furnace; this is known as "casting". Molten metal and slag are separated by a series of channels, slag (girl) will flow to a pit or slag car to be carried away. The slag is cooled to be used in a variety products such as an additive in concrete. The metal is channeled to bottle cars to be transported to different areas of the mill for processing. This is a very basic overview of a blast furnace, they are highly complex and very dangerous!

How do you smelt a steel bar on runescape?

For every steel bar you want to make, you take 1 iron ore and 2 coal ores to a furnace, and use the iron ore on the furnace. Alternately, you can also use the magic spell "Superheat item" (without needing to go to a furnace).
