Where does carbon that is used in a blast furnace come from?
Coal, distilled in a retort to expel the volatile content and leave the carbon as a spongy-looking solid called "coke".(Strange - there are several versions of this question, suggesting to me poor teaching or text-books that focus only on the chemistry and not the overall process, purpose?and materials.)?
Is a blast furnace oxidation?
NO!!! Its primary purpose is to REDUCE iron ore to iron. Iron ore is the commercial name for iron(III)oxide ( Ferric Oxide). (Fe2O3) In the Blast Furnace , carbon forms carbon monoxide. , from the coke(carbon) and oxygen ( hot air blast). 2C + O2 = 2CO CO(carbon monoxide) is a very good reducing agent. Hence Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2 The CO2 is not released into the atmosphere, but undergoes reduction to form more CO. NB THere are many more secondary reactions going on in the Blast Furnace.
Iron produced by blast furnace is called?
The iron produced by a blast furnace is typically referred to as pig iron. It is a crude form of iron with high carbon content, which needs to be further processed to remove impurities and adjust its carbon content before it can be used in various applications.
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).
Why can't aluminium be extracted from aluminium ore using a blast furnace?
Because it is more reactive then carbon to be extracted in a blast furnace. Remember carbon is the reducing agent and for it to work the metal being extracted has to be lower in the reactivity series, e.g. iron
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
What is use of mud carbon in blast furnace?
Mudgun is hydraulically operated machine that is used to close the tap hole of the blast furnace after draining out the metal / slag from the furnace from time to time. It is heavy equipment and the most critical of all the equipments used in blast furnace. The failure of the machine will lead to shut down of the furnace to close the tap hole.

What is the waste gas in the Blast Furnace used for?
It is mostly carbon monoxide and nitrogen gases which has some heating value. So it is typically recovered and mixed with natural gas, &/or coke oven gas and used in boilers for steam or other steel heating furnaces for further processing of steel.

What is the difference between blast furnace coke and cupola coke?
Mainly the type of coke being used. The sulfur, ash and carbon content are different.
Why you used carbon refractory at blast furnace?
Carbon refractories are used in blast furnaces because of their high resistance to heat and thermal shock. They can withstand the extreme temperatures and chemical reactions that occur during the iron-making process. Additionally, carbon refractories have good thermal conductivity, allowing them to efficiently transfer heat in the furnace.
What element is the blast furnace used to extract?
Iron (Fe)
